Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Can anyone tell what rifle the center man is holding? An M.88/90? This pic is from a photoset on the Balkan wars. I'm doing homework on the M.88/90 with Greek VVV I'm getting in this week. SW

Can't blow up the picture large enough to tell for sure but from the sight (and the feller' s on the left) I think you are correct. A gap between the trigger guard and the magazine would tell for sure

That's a M90 carbine, like the two fellows to the left... "M95" action, but made when M88/90 was still the main rifle. If in Balkan Wars, it came from Bulgarians.

Could you point out where you found this photo?

It was on a Russian site. They never show where they lift pics & seldom even have captions. Like this M.95 pic I found just yesterday in a photoset "war trees". SW
