Very nice... I also have one of the first 1,000 M1C made with the original unmarked bracket, also in nice shape.... 32519XX. K-line, flashider, G&H Mount but no original M81/82 scope. That is an...

Magazines used to be full of Milsurp stuff down here. When I was a kid, a surplus store in town was selling "used" M1918 Mk 1 knives for $10 each. I wanted one in the worst way but couldn't get my...

I recently aquired this knuckle / trench knife. It isn't an issue item, but it is VERY well made. I'm unsure of it's actual origin, I originally thought it was perhaps a one of a kind, but given...

Last I have seen in the past month , all very good/excellent condition, stamped late model Hart was gong for about $225 .... early Hart ~$300 ... SA $325

Your mileage may vary depending on...

I've been looking at a pretty nice No4 Mk1 (T) sniper and am wondering what the current value of a rifle sans scope is these days ? I have been looking at various source material and prices,...

Thanks guys... It's a Hammerli barrel. I received information tonight from a former Swiss Army armorer regarding the barrel markings. He said that, by his memory, not all barrels would be found...

I recently aquired a K31 as a shooter. It arrived from the seller in very nice condition, which seems to be the rule.

I've been reading up on the rifles, and have stripped the rifle to give it...

From the pics it looks like someone took a wire brush or wheel to the barrel by the inspectors initials. DO NOT do that... slight cleanup of active rust via careful and limited use of a brass...

Your makers mark on the barrel = Federal Firearms Co Inc.; PO Box 145; Oakdale, PA,15071

If you were to remove the barreled action from the stock, chances are you would find Federal stamped...

Can anyone give me a source to purchase a couple oddball through hole taps ? I need a #3-20 tpi and #3-24 tpi tap to complete restoration of a couple Civil War era firearms. I assume it will have to...

Alas... where there is a will, there is a way. I passed on this one, price too high for what it is... or isn't. I'd rather spend more for one in better condition with a scabbard. Thanks for the...

I just noticed the grooves on the top of the grip... I saw several antique militaria dealers saying on their web pages that these grooved handles have yet to be faked (type 2) so all are original ? ...

Yep.... my mistype. You have good points re: Bulgarian modification or Russian. I suspect you are correct.

I don't recall ever seeing the stamp of an Au Lion pictured quite so "perfect"... most of the fakes I see pictured look like a cartoon. Originals all seem to show wear from scabbards... and a much...

Well... value is dependent on the owner. To me anything that safely shoots is worth at least $100 <grin>. IMO Nagant values in general are rising, especially if not import marked. I'm not an expert...

It started out life as a M1891 rifle originally made at Tula in 1943. In ~1959 the rifle was modified (cut down) to a carbine configuration in Bulgaria and the /59 was added to the model number to...

Squared rear handguard, looks like the proper front and rear sights. Looks good from what I can see... nice score.

It's a M1891\30 rifle modified to a carbine... apparently modified in Bulgaria.

"Model 1891/59 Carbine: M1891/59s were created by shortening M1891/30 rifles to carbine length, with rear sight...

I would like to add a representitive M1918 Au Lion trench knife to my WW1 collection. I've been considering this one... owner firm on $450 shipped - no scabbard. I've never actually "held" one of...

Like the others, I've used hundreds of HXP ... mostly 67/68 dated... in my Garands without any issues.

I feel your pain brother... One thought I had, things posted here and on similar sites, have a better chance of going to a collector and/or someone that recognizes their value and would appreciate...

There is a company in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin selling 1891 rifles and carbines with stripped bolts... they have been advertising in Shotgun News lately. They are now also selling parts... and I...

26933The Regimental Scouts attached to the Anti-tank company of the 28th Infantry, 8th Division were issued M1903-A3 rifles in quantity. My Uncle carried his until being wounded Dec 8,1944 while...

If original it sounds like a good price, at least around these parts in excellent condition I've seen those go for $600 and up.

Thanks... the missing sling swivel and band screw issue wasn't of concern to me, I can fix that... but I didn't catch the cutoff handguard. It does look slightly short as it isn't all the way to the...
