Hello,

I would like to gauge everyone's opinion on the best type of material/case that can contain firearms with antique bluing, without blemishing. Here are some examples of materials: Leather,...

I ended up trading the guy a fair condition Finnish M28 plus $120 for it. I am pretty happy. The Suncorite actually looks pretty nice and isn't bubbling or anything. I'm pretty happy with the...

Bore is pretty nice condition for its age and compared to other U.S. Military barrels I have seen. Thank you all for your input.

Hello,

I am looking to acquire this Eddystone P1917 Enfield. The gentleman sent me many pictures, but one thing that alarmed me is that the bluing on the P-17 doesn't look like what I have seen...

Right, I don't intend to make this rifle increase in value. I actually bought it for the purpose of using the stock for my Irish Civil War Enfield. I just want to protect it, but like he had said,...

I guess that would explain why you don't understand my argument concerning collectability then. I guess I was wrong to assume that people responding to a thread concerning collectibles would in fact...

Beautiful G-11! I own the G-11, K-11, and K-31 and the G-11 was my first Swiss rifle. Word of warning: be careful as to the diameter of the bayonet. The G-11 has a muzzle diameter of 15mm, most...

Thank you for the advice, I figured a cold bluing would in fact be the best option. As a collector, I don't think the lack of bluing entirely ruins the collectible value. Moreover, in my eyes it...

Hello gentleman,


I recently acquired an all matching WWI Lee Enfield No. I Mk. III. The issue is that almost ALL of the bluing is gone on it. Presumably, someone stripped it for whatever...

Hm. Well I had held off to talk about my SKS because I know what I value it as. I guess I'll just wait and see what Peter has to say. The seller also is not sure.

Well I'm looking to trade him my all matching refurbished 1950 Russian SKS. The SKS is mint refurbished condition.

And assuming any of you were going to buy a Jungle Carbine like this, how much would you be willing to pay?

So everything besides the magazine appears legit? Any idea as to why there are hashed/scrubbed markings on the receiver?

The picture of most concern is the receiver markings photo. I'll try to upload them a different way tonorrow.

I have 8 pictures with URL's there. That is how I have posted pics on all of my other threads. Is there an issue with the URLs?

Hello,


I am looking to purchase this Jungle Carbine. I wanted to see if it is authentic. Furthermore, certain markings appear to have been scrubbed off of the receiver. Any ideas as to why...

Ah I see. Well I was intending to get a new stock set for it anyway and just keep the original preserved as is. I will be using my other Enfields if I want to shoot. Thank you for the input.

The Irish SMLE story, part 1, 1919 to 1925

Hello Gentlemen,


Wanted your thoughts on this Irish Free State SMLE. A friend of mine picked it up today for me, for $250. It has mostly matching serial numbers. It is dated 1916; the barrel,...

Appreciate the responses. I've opted to give him 800 Cash and hold on to the Garand. I am a pretty avid collector and I personally still see a desirability in mismatched K98s. (Especially if it is...

Oh it's only 60 rounds, plus 4 stripper clips. A few AR hex mags.

No I had seen your post, I was sort of replying to both of you. I've seen forum posts from 2010 on here saying that even a mismatch bolt K98, non import, was still worth close to $1000. In 2010......

Not sure where that 350 dollar K98 mismatch number comes from. Not in this decade, I know that much. I bought an RC and sold it recently for 600, Ive seen nicer RCs sell for 800 even.

Haha, no it is added to the deal with the Garand. Sorry for the confusion

I didn't want to try to explain the whole carcano thing I figured it was easier to just say Im giving him 150 cash. Sorry for the confusion
