When the "Worst " is still collectable

[Miller Tyme]

Being a collector of anything it isn't often that you try to aquire the worst of what you are collecting, but this might be the exception to the rule.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to aquire what one firearms expert calls "The Worst Sniper Rifle ever made". Now being as I collect sniper rifles, and this is a legit military issued sniper rifle, and the fact that there are only a couple of these floating around the U.S. I decided I had to have it.

Well I am now the proud owner of said rifle (along with a nice pair of Spanish Army binoculars) and I must say it's crudeness is part of its charm.

So with out further ado I present the 2nd pattern Spanish M43 Sniper Rifle.

I'm just happy to see that you made it to the Mauser side from the Mosin side. Not that there was anything wrong with the Mosin side!

I'll bet that's the worst only because the Japanese never made a last ditch Arisaka sniper rifle.
I'm happy for you MT.
Are you going to try shooting it?

Probably with iron sights or a 10x stand in scope. That scope on it is unobtainable or repairable

I like the welded scope mounts…. Hate to think what that did to the temper of the receiver…..

Worst or not, that's an exceptionally cool item.

Question is, can you hit anything with it?

I don't doubt the rifles capabilites, but the scopes capabilites are another issue.
