A little late to the party but did you end up selling all of it?

Pics.

Hello all. Found a Steyr M1912 I have my eye on. But it has some things that are different about it. The slide and frame match. It has all the stamps in the right place, 1917 Steyr on the slide. What...

After doing some more looking it's a carbine, not a short rifle. Haven't handled enough to spot the difference. I kept reading about the turned down barrel for the band and mine didn't have that so...

Thanks for the info guys. I did some more looking Low & Slow after reading your message and the varnish seems to be put on before it was duffle cut because there is none on the cut surface. So maybe...

Hello everybody. Just picked this up at the local gun show. It's an earlier one pre-WW1? Someone duffle cut it, shellaced the stock and put a mark on the mum but otherwise pretty nice shape. Question...

Nice rifle! I too need to work on a k98 stock, I would try some stripper on a cloth in a small area where the finish is already bad. Just dont sand it or brush it hard, you dont want to lose the...

I'm not much of an expert on shotguns so thanks for the tip Jim! Never heard that trick before. Anyway, I put the Dime on and it wont go in, pretty sure it started life as a short barrel, has the...

Thanks! My father and I farmed so we started collecting the IH's some years ago, picking up nice ones when we could, sold some along the way. He passed away last year so I took over the collection...

I picked this up a couple months back listed as a "WW2 Ithaca" but it's not. The serial number puts it right in the spot for the 1967 US Trench contract. It looks good parkerized with the dull stock...

Yeah that one is in for an overhaul lol!

I have the SA/IH Posatge Stamp, only made ~700 of them, an...

Interesting thanks Jim!

Here is my Tractor collection.

A little late to the party here but DO NOT USE steel wool, it will ruin the finish. Yoy need bronze wool with some gun grease and a true vintage copper penny, it will knock off the rust spots and not...

Here is a very nice original double stamp Ithaca picked up a few years ago on a little auction. Beautiful shape, with some neat heat treatment discoloring on the slide.

This is probably a stupid question Jim but what did happen to all of those rifles down there? I heard there were some buy backs? Inalso read stories from time to time of secret caches they happen to...

Hello everybody, thought I would show off this unique K98. Built in 41/42 to supplement rifle production, the German arsenal depots were ordered to make complete rifles from their parts stock. Made...

Hello everybody, new member and a big thanks to Doug for sorting me all out. I picked this rifle up a few years ago on an estate sale. All 02 marked down to cleaning rod with a beautiful bore, from...
