New baby is an '03 Springfield, looks like the second from the top is a Mosin Nagant.

The Germans had no significant numbers of semi-auto rifles in North Africa. After the G41s failed in testing, the G43 was the next German semi, and it was not issued to the Afrika Corps. German troops used primarily the bolt-action K98 rifle.
Just wanted to set the record straight.
