No gender confused lads in that photo.
Looks like lessons learned from the AKM bayonet........
Been ages since I've been on here. Anyway threw my membership fees in for a year and I'm back now.
Here are my best two rifles, offered with no reserve since I need to pay down an expensive...
Tom...here you go. I fear it is a fake but the markings are under the parkerizing that seems original to the gun (it is much darker than the photos show)

Picked up a 18" 'cyl' chocked ithaca 37 about a month ago. Its got a factory serial number of just over 1,005,000 on the right side of the receiver (1968 if I read Ithacas production numbers right)...
Does anyone know whose initials these are on the cartouches?

Somebody else posted this link over on Jouster and it started a discussion about the NM markings on the barrel and gas cylinder:

The metal looks nice. Thats the original receiver finish (black oil dipped case hardened). The 1901 rear sight should actually have three little "C"s on it and probably does. One of them is a tiny...
Can I mate a complete Aussie L1A1 lower to a complete (pre ban) Argentinian upper and expect it to function properly? Will the L1A1 wood handguards fit a metric upper without any modifications?
These threads are very fine. Whats the proper amount of takeup, in degrees? Am I supposed to put a conventional wrench on the flats, or use a belt and a strap wrench?
In photos its looks like these are all attached with the flats on the sides of the flash hider sitting vertically. When I hand tighten mine on the left hand threads, the flats only wind up just past...
I found a Springfield Armory SAR 48 thats for sale locally, basically a military FAL made in Brazil, semi auto only. It looks like the upper and lower receiver were phosphated and then the externals...
What did they do with the trigger and receiver fulcrum pins on FALs like the Argentine and Imbel guns that were parkerized and then black painted? Did they blue the pins, or give them the same...
Choji oil is typically used in sword maintenance in the asian sword arts. This is clove oil, and you can get it as such at your local pharmacy.
But I like EEZOx Gun Care. This is sold in spray...

The story on this one was that it was collected off of Saipan. The hamon (temper line) follows the blade perfectly including out to the kisecki (tip) so I dont think the blade has had any major...
Thats surely a Bannerman parts gun. The lockplate was NOT made by SA.
Have a look at the 1884 trapdoor I have in the "For Sale" board for a completely correct trapdoor :D
No, but after the comments here and on jouster, I returned it and bought a different one. I'll post some pics when I get them.
I thought the stamped blades were serialized, not signed.
What does the signature translate to?
Terry - I ended up buying a different one. I will send you the pics when I get it. I do not think it was stamped out like this blade is, it has draw file marks on the nagato (tang), though I guess...
With the beautiful blue finish and long flash suppressor. Or Teddy Roosevelts krag carbine that he carried up Kettle Hill.

There supposed to be something wrong with that picture?
Opinions on this Jap sword I just bought, please!

Whats the going rate for "mint" or "unissued" 1884 rifles with bright blue, vivid case colors, crisp bores, and sharp cartouches? I need to thin my collection out a bit to make room for other...
