Looks far from Mint to me. A mint gun does not have a stock full of dents.

Looks far from Mint to me. A mint gun does not have a stock full of dents.
It is an M8 with the hook added you can not tell if the webbing was replaced or a hook just added. This was a fairly common modification of the M8. If the hook was just added then it could be...
I saw a 6 mil receiver on one. Still did not think it worth $800. The receiver was pitted and rusty and the bore a sewer pipe.
Actually the Soviets did use semi auto tokarev rifles and made a lot of them, I have seen numbers over a million. The Germans used G43s and made around 500,000 of them. The US just had a better...
Gee left handed as well or is the picture reversed?
Years ago when I was collecting Japanese a guy stopped at the gun show to show me a Nambu that had come from Guadalcanal brought back by his father in law I think it was. He told me he had a Luger...
a number of years ago the CMP had some M2 flash hiders for sale for $100. I bought one and it was exactly as shown for sale at collectors source. They sold out in about a day at the $100 price but...
Gee a Winchester mdoel 70 in .35 remington that is a $5000 gun. The is just what he had not sold yet think over 9 years what he got away with. I hope they throw him in jail for a long time. The...
They are neat but they are not a Nambu as in Nambu had nothing to do with the design. The first Nambu was what we call the Grandpa Nambu and all Nambus were auto loaders. As a matter those grooved...
Randall locks in your price when you make the deposit of $50. SO in 4 years it may seem a bargain compared to current retail. I know this for a fact I have several on order right now and have gotten...
I am sure there is older out there but this box is dated 1920 and is still sealed.

Picked this up this weekend along with some other vintage ammo. Note it was inspected and repacked in 1910. No idea when it was made.

Thanks for the information so they are Krag ammo. The 3 inch seacoast usage makes sense as there used to be all kinds of Forts around here gaurding the entry to Puget sound. I got a box of regular...
Well I am still clueless what subcaliber device it was used on then. I was unaware of any special load for the subcaliber devices. I am pretty sure it is was to early for use on the 03A2 as they...
Guy had a couple of boxes of these at the last show. Any idea what it is for?

Not all 1898s are rifles there were 5000 carbines made as 1898s but they were all made in the 1898 time frame so with your very high serial number your carbine was originally a rifle. Does it have...
Just to clarify SLovak was the only US soldier executed for desertion during WWII. Between 1942 and 1961 160 members of the military were exected. In WWI 36 were exectuted. So his execution was...
For what it is worth Walnut is a hardwood thus if you have a Walnut stock it is a hardwood stock. Common woods used other then Walnut were Birch and Cherry which are both hardwoods as well.
Nice knife probably not really worth that kind of money but by the time you get it maybe it will be worth it. I have gotten 4 or 5 Randalls in the last decade and have one on order now it was due in...
Fair deal, the milled guard is worth a lot more then stamped guard. A decent stock will set you back at least a $100 and the bands may cost as much as $50 if you insist on blued parts. You would...
I belive he said he did not use his gonads anymore is why he would give both of them to shoot an M14 again.
Clearly crossed Moisen Nagant rifle indicating Russian capture. Well that's my story and I am sticking to it. Normally an X indicates a rejection and the receiver would have been scrapped perhaps...
$35K is to much for a reworked Singer IMHO. Nice looking but has to be a restoration could not have all stayed together during rework.
What about the T-20, they were ordered but not ever made cause the war ended. They used a modified BAR mag.
If the CMP ones were all original parts and finish which is what Andy has been offered, then you were a fool to not buy them at that price. I bet they were all mixmasters with a refinish
