The NRA publishes a pretty good hard covered log book with spaces for descriptions of markings, prices paid, name of seller, date and price of sale etc. I have one somewhere in the archives and will...
I had mentioned in an earlier post about an article I had read regarding the Cooey Carcano and was basically poo pooed for my post! Well here it is, the article appears in Historical Arms Series No....
I have a magazine article somewhere on the Cooey reworked Carcano rifles, I believe they were sold by either Eaton's or Sears department stores. If memory serves me correctly they claim they were...
I as well have asked sellers not to use global shipping in several cases. It bothers me that they add import and duties on items that are exempt from these fees. Just another way for ebay to grab a...

In the past I have pinned several HP mags by drilling a hole cross wise in the mag, inserting a 1/8" dia. rod then tig welding both sides. It makes a near invisible fix. I was never a...
Can anyone give me dimensions for placement of pins to reduce mag capacities to 5 rounds for the following mags? Bren, M14 and AK 47
If you check out oldguns.ca you can see another lightweight in what appears to be better condition. The case shown in the auction looks made up to me in my opinion and the lightening cuts in the...
When I was a kid back in the early 60's We used to go to the ball diamond in a small Ontario town where my cousins lived. There was an MG08 sled mount that sat behind home plate, I spent many an hour...

Quite true, in recent years the Royal Ontario Museum In Toronto put a large number of firearms in their collection up for sale, not to collectors but to museums outside Ontario. The estimated value...
Very Nice collection!!!
