Bolt Action rifles

[LimeCordial]

could someone try and make some decent bolt action rifles?

[CrunchyFrog]

[FILO]HuBBa made a M24 and a Remington 870, its in the same package

FILO's site is apparently down, so you can probarly find them on ofp.cz

[LimeCordial]

arent those sniper rifles?   i meant just rifles, like they had in ww2 or whatever.

[@cero]

some of the WWII mods are working on some of them, I think, but I have the impresion that this ones you'r about are more coment on WWI than WWII? I'm not sure, the Red Army used them in WWII very much so it would be good to have them aswell.
Later.

i thought the german mauser was bolt action as well....

[PunkerSXDX]

Yeah I think the Germans did use some kind of Bolt action Rifle in WWII but the US used the M14, in WWI the US used a bolt action Springfield 1902 I think that's what it was called.

[DrMeatballs]

Yes the german Mauser K98 was bolt action they did have a few semi autos though. The Standard US weapon of ww2 was the M1 garand and not the M14.
[Filo] hubas pack included an unscoped remington 870 and it made the ideal weapon to start of a resistance campaign with.
The ww2 team are currently working on UK and japanese forces from ww2 both of which will have a bolt action rifle(SMLE for the brits).

I Just finished a new M40a1. It has a stock more like the real one and it is silenced. But do you want like varmint rifles or hunting rifles? I just had a thought we could take the human silouet target and make it smaller to the size of a prairie dog. Virtual Varmint hunting .LOL

LOL,...There ya go, If we had prairie dogs, and if someone would make an AR15 with a bull barrel, and scope...we could go varmint shootin on Desert Malden.

Ya I was workin on a bull barrel ar15 but the file was corrupted or somethin. Ill try to finish it and I'll post it here.

The US used the M1903 Springfield, and then the M1903-A3 Springfield in early WWII (both are bolt action)...they Later moved on to the M1 Garand (semi auto) which saw service throughout the rest of WWII, and in Korea.  The Germans used Mausers (bolt action)... and they later developed G/K.43 rifles (semi auto)

The M14 was in use early in Viet Nam, but was replaced by the M16 during the war. (although the M14 is still employed for some purposes, including sniper use)

Was the M14 Korea? Cause I know it was old in Vietnam and the M16 was first made in 1948, but had Problems until the M16A1 came out during Vietnam... I think

[SpclFrcsSnpr]

Well I just had a though. Could we kake a prairie dog as a human?

Yes... The M14 was from the 50's to the 60's, the M14 wasnt in WW2, the main rifle of the US army was the M1 Garand or M1903 Springfield

ROFL the m16 wasnot intorduced in 1948 whered you get taht idea

i think but im not thure that the M14 just missed koriea but they might have used it in the tale end of the conflict a little

[PunkerSXDX]

The M16 was first Designed and Built in 1948, but didn't enter service untill vietnam, and I got that from Ofp I think, I Know I saw it somewhere, It came out a little after the AK 47 which was built in 1947

[madmedic]

Negative,...The M16 was borne out of research that was done in 1948 (By Johns Hopkins University) that came to the conclusion that most combat kills were at relatively close distances...so the military could adopt lighter rifles with shorter range....the research had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the M16 itself,...the M16's development began in the mid/late 1950s,...using this research as a guideline.
This link tells the story of its development, By Armalite, and Gene Stoner. From the AR 5, to the AR10, all the way up to the AR 15 in 1956
