Discussion

Sorry, I can't wait until you create the page :) Don't you think that the pistol, identified as Walther Mod 4, looks somewhat strange? The trigger guard is too close to the front of the slide. I have no idea what it can be if not Model 4, but still it's strange. --Greg-Z (talk) 13:48, 4 November 2020 (EST)

I uploaded new pictures in slightly better quality. I hope they will help. Speaking of, can you also help me with a pistol ID in the third season? I will upload some pictures there soon--HighPhigh (talk) 05:09, 5 November 2020 (EST)
Thanks, now I can say that it's really a Walther Mod 4. The visually short slide was only the effect of the angle of view. Concerning Season 3, I'll try some photoshop magic on dark screenshots, maybe it would help to identify the pistols. --Greg-Z (talk) 06:24, 5 November 2020 (EST)

Speaking about the takedown rifle: as we can see via google, Haenel-Mannlicher rifles tend to have the bolt handle placed forwards to the trigger, while the screen gun has the bolt handle placed different. I have little knowledge of these hunting rifles but as for me, the rifle may be a kind of Mauser Sporter. Maybe Rigby or Westley Richards rifles, they all have Mauser action. This is only a guess, maybe I'm wrong. --Greg-Z (talk) 15:05, 19 November 2020 (EST)

Krieghoff Pre-War Mauser 9.3x62 - NOT a takedown gun, but otherwise very similar, with butterknife style bolt handle and double trigger set. --Greg-Z (talk) 15:19, 19 November 2020 (EST)
