I have been searching the internet for the correct finish on a AG42B. I have found where some say it was a darker brown color and others that it was BLO. Knowing that these were beech staining...
I can't find the answer to whether the bayonet adapter on the 1909 Argentine was blued or left unfinished. All of the ones I see have no finish left on them.
Thanks for the education.

Thanks fjruple.
The base that is pinned to the barrel.
My Eddystone front sight base does not have the manufacture mark; E, R or W. If it does, it is so lightly struck that it is not visible. My question is whether this is a replacement? Sources...
Just picked up this 1915 MK III LSA. Has to be the dirties milsurp that I have ever had. It has not been cleaned for a long time. The receiver, bolt, barrel and sights match. It went back through...
Here's the mold mark inside.
I found these binoculars cleaning at my in-laws house. Initial research would indicate that they are WWII vintage. The case is not marked and I can't find a way to date the binoculars. I...
Thank you

Thanks for your assistance.

I just picked up a 1918 Eddystone that is missing the stacking swivel. Was the stacking swivel for a an Eddystone marked with an "E" or were they unmarked? I have been looking at all of the expected...
It did not have a electro-penciled S/N on it. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the star or the rest of the rifle. Thank you very much for the information. I passed on buying it because I...
I found a 1903 Springfield with a 1939 receiver and '39 barrel. The barrel is star gauged but I don't find the receiver serial number listed as a NM or in lists showing star gauged barrels. The...
Very nice collection..... Thanks for sharing.
I have looking for a Krag in the usual places like Gun Broker, For Trade on forums. Curious where did the members on here find their Krag?
Thanks for the pics. The back of this one measures .288
I picked up this gas cylinder not knowing if it is a SA or IHC. May I ask for some opinions on which it is? There are not any marks or numbers as I would expect on the SA but not sure about the...
Have you considered using a Schuster adjustable gas plug?

I am not sure that this really an IHC gas cylinder. It has a 7 on the top of the back band which doesn't show up well in my pics. What do you think?4087240873408744087540876
I need some help on putting the rear sight back to original. The problem is trying to find the split pin or small pin to hold the rear sight base pin in place. I don't find them available so I am...
I have a Winchester Serial No. 5,757,XXX that came with a Type III "C" marked bayonet lug on it. It looks to be original to the rifle but looking at different references it would appear that it...
I read the thread on Carbine accessory prices being high. Since CMP ran out of carbines it seems that the price of carbines has risen. A lot of them have been "updated" to include all of the...
A friend has a Saginaw Gear HW stock made by Trimble that he is willing to sell. It has a Saginaw cartouche and the SG in the box. It is marked Trimble in the sling well with numbers. What bothers...
I am not going to say my method is text book. I oil the front of the barrel, use a piece of wood to start the sight and finish up with a brass punch. It has always worked well for me.
