I have a very nice Argentine FN49 but unfortunately, it came to me without the spring guide. I would like to find the complete assembly with the guide. I have tried piecing one together myself to...
I would be glad to post a picture but not the slightest idea how to size the file to make the site happy. I can send direct if someone is interested.
Interestingly, circa 1980, I met the Steyr...
I have an FAL, 308 Match, Steyr import. It has the long, fluted flash hider. I have only seen this flash hider on the US FAL's and the Cuban FAL's. I did find a bayonet for it at a gun show circa...
Friend has FN 1910 pistol, .32. Has no serial number. In excellent condition, doesn't appear to have been reblued. Also has see through grips on it. New to me. I've done some preliminary...
Thanks. I recall seeing quite a few of them sold without the scopes years ago. Seems like Springfield Sporters had them????

Another great reason to join the GCA. Keep up the good work Bob!
Would you mind telling me what the market value of the .30 Lux and 7mm Ven rifles are in good shape? Do they both have that black, paint-like finish on them??????
I have one of these bayonets. I bought it at a gun show in Detroit circa 1984. It has SA on the metal grip and a plastic scabbard with frog. It fits the Steyr import "match" rifle that I have with...
I acquired a wood hanguard, beautiful walnut (?) about 30 years ago. It is the one with the large bulge and three flutes on each side narrowing towards the end. It is not the one on the HB FALs. ...
Very nice rifle. I posted pics of mine below, a couple of days ago. Who was the importer if it is a US rifle?????? Mine was an early Century Arms rifle. Later cocking piece, all 100% Savage.
You guys are incredible. Thanks for putting up with a novice's questions. I appreciate it. Interesting stuff.
I have a Savage No. 4 MK1*, all matching. SN is 60C4996. Grooved handguard. All wood marked "S," and color matches. This wood doesn't look like walnut to me. I had a friend who is an experienced...
2ballcane, you need to do some homework before you take this one on. After you get up to speed, I will be glad to talk to you about it. You are OK until you get to the part where you state, "I...
What is the story on the "AF" serial numbers???????????
Correction: Upon closer examination with a magnifying glass, my rifle has a "B" under the SN, vs. a "3." The vertical component of the character is barely visible but can be seen with the glass.
I just picked up a Savage today. It could be the one in these pics. My SN is 60C4996 with a "3" underneath the SN. Bolt is numbered to the rifle. No SN on the stock, no SN on the magazine. Every...
I read the other day, somewhere, that the receivers on the Steyr FAL's were NOT milled but investment cast. That surprised me. Evidently, some of the very early semi-auto or supposed to be...
Just bought one on GB for less than $600.00. These things are like crack though. If you have to have it and you have the money, you know what is going to happen. Some folks just have more...
Brad, thanks for your patience and taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate it.
I am embarrassed that I made the original post and didn't get back here to read the responses until today. Wow, some great info from you guys and I really appreciate it. I am going to post some...
I think SA made the barrels for the Navy. The Navy let contracts to American Machine & Foundry as well as H&R to assemble MK2 MOD1, 7.62MM Garands. AMC and H&R added a larger "7.62" as well as...
I have UF A23408. I thought it was an Irish rifle???? No? It is a Century Intl., import. No 4 MK 2, UF 55.
So what DO I have??????? BTW, new in wrap, etc. Short stock. All parts match.
"LT" in white block letters on butt of 1949 Long Branch. Anyone know what this means? Unit markings?
Thanks!
I have two crates of Danish .30 ammo in bandoleers. 12.5X10X10 more or less. All kinds of numbers on the crates. Not sure if any of them are the round count. Does anyone remember how many...
