Hi Jim your right little bit of everything even win 101. you should see the mess of bad wood. going to try an save some as knife wood slabs to sell at shows as i do not need wood burner right now.
Doubt you will get much for any of these on GunBroker, unless they can be identified. In an auction, these are just a pile of "Miscellaneous Parts."Quote:

You might propose that anyone who can identify a piece and wants to buy it gets 50% off fair market value or best offer if two or more want it. This uses the honour system, and I think you can count on Milsurps members to be quite honourable. What's left unidentified might be able to be sorted into some categories, like: shotgun, rifle, carbine, machine gun, revolver, etc to help attract a good buyer.
BTW, in these photos looks it looks like a large proportion are from shotguns -- find a shotgun forum to make your queries for these.
Seaspriter I have made some deals with fellow members here an I am very willing to make deals i do not feel right charging someone who helps me with this wonderful mess full prices.working more on like less than half price on stuff. even willing to trade for almost anything. Just dont trade with wife she gives ammo away for gold rings with shiny red stones.:)
Mmppres, in pic 11 of these most recent pics you have a ringtail-type forearm with grooves cut in it. Could you please pm me a closeup pic of the end of the operating bar (where it would connect to the slide)? And you have a bare operating handle with no wood in pic 12. Same request, please, as well as a pic of the threads on the front o the operating bar?I think I might know what those are, but need to make sure before I shoot you an offer. Thanks.
Sov pictures on way. Here is a box of frames an such. Few are marked colt on barrels. but do not look like they belong to frames.

Looks like Aladin let you have a supermarket sweep through his cave!
aladin let me sweep the floor in his cave I got lots of stuf in this mess even some non gun stuff. :madsmile:
When we were apprentices, he chief ogre, Harry Weeks had a few trays full of assorted parts for us to identify, including stuff that was totally lost on us and from the distant past, such as BESA, No1 revolver, early Patchett, .303 Browning, Piat........ you know the kind of stuff. He'd want you to use your loaf to identify it within the bounds of reason and a simple explanation. It could have been a fun hour or so. But Harry Weekes wasn't into anything that could bring on a smile or a chuckle.......... So it became a chore with no humourous answers. Just dry classroom work. Eventually I used to teach Physics part time at a school here and tried to make sure that lessons were always light and breezy to make the lesson and learning easy. But these ID lessons were very useful - afterwards in the real world............
I just noticed that some of the parts are in an old Double Diamond box. Now ther's a blast from the past. Iremember the 1970's TV ads for DD beer. Double Diamond, works wonders.:beerchug:
