QUOTE(Decrepit @ Jan 30 2018, 10:55 PM) I actually own a British Enfield bolt action WWI era rifle. Or rather it was bought for me when I was a lad. Dad bought two, one for himself and mine. He "modified" his to look like a modern hunting rifle with cut down stock. He wanted to do the same with mine. I wouldn't let him. Praise the Nine for once dad catered to my whim and left it alone other than a refinish job. The rifle has always been kept in my parents house, since during my military career I had no easy means to keep it in my possession. I never bothered to find a place for it when I moved into my current home after retiring from the military. I'm not really a gun person you see, except for a fascination with their historic significance. My brother was too young back when the Enfields were bought to know their ownership. Neither dad nor I apparently ever mentioned it to him. Several years ago I discovered by happenstance that he thinks the Enfield is his, when he mentioned almost selling it to someone. So far as I know there is no paperwork with the gun in my name, and the house and its contents all went to my brother on mom's death. I suppose I could plead my case and possibly reclaim the rifle, but truth the tell it's not that big a deal to me.
Come to think on it, I never fired the weapon. When bought I was too weak to hold it in firing position for any length of time. By the time strong enough I had lost all interest in target practice and then we parted ways when I left home to begin my adult life.
At one time I could have told you the which variant of Enfield it is, and when made. That info was misplaced, likely trashed, some time ago. And yes, I know I can write down its serial number when next I visit my brother and look it up again.
I would certainly reclaim that rifle but then again, I am a gun nut person bird QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 30 2018, 10:59 PM) QUOTE(mirocu @ Jan 30 2018, 02:00 PM) Look at that handsome creature! It's Khajiit's bigger brother This post has been edited by mirocu: Jan 31 2018, 06:31 PM

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 31 2018, 03:24 PM) That is apparently a South African White-necked Raven (corvus albicolis) which are a bit smaller than a proper raven. I want a full-sized one, or several, like the Ravenmaster has.
