Here's my two. Both were modified to be repeaters and the bottom one is an early sporter. I got it at a flea market in pretty rough shape and cleaned it up. Only sporter I have. It can't be...

M1871 Beaumont (Infantry) | MilitaryRifles.com

They are still tiny when you download them.

The Timonium show was a bust. I did actually find a bayonet and it was the cheapest I've seen anywhere but I opted to not purchase it and went with an eBay example I found instead. It cost more but...

Did much of your Canadian military stuff have US markings on them? US is typically an acceptance mark which unlike your broad arrow was not applied at acceptance but part of the manufacturing...

I actually have a milk can with a front spigot right beside me here while I type this. Only one I've ever seen. Had a rubber tube attached to it which deteriorated. Tube comes out the bottom of...

The bottom sling swivel should be easy to find. It's the upper one that is more difficult. Standard swivel for the 43 is what it is. Mine was missing the front and that was a real pain finding.

Milk cans aren't typically insulated. It does look similar, but I've never seen that type of closure on a milk can either. I have a small collection of milk cans.

If it were military, it would be US marked. They marked almost everything. I have looked at a few food containers over the years and all are marked US. One of the rare things I didn't end up...

Someone has probably done it. But as they are neither one of the most desirable or accurate of military rifles, I doubt they performed very well. A 91 or a 41 long rifle might do OK but the others...

Yeah, obviously the Russians were attacked by this drone, They did nothing wrong.

I picked these up the other day cheap. Doesn't seem to be any way to date them other than pre 1941 and post 1941. These two are both post 1941 as they have the three crowns instead of a single...

I got the last of what I was looking for last week. A British officers satchel. 7 months of watching eBay since my last purchase and I was looking for it for months prior to that. They were around...

I’ve had great luck with RTI because I expect worn rifles and I buy them only on sale. They just put the long rifles on sale for $199.00 and that’s a fair price for a wall hanger. I paid more than...

LIberty University has an ROTC program. I had already checked that one. Another is Lehigh University which is near my location which would make more sense. Liberty is not ridiculously far, Lincoln...

I watched a couple of videos last night. C&R Arsenals said these saw a lot of service in WWI. They had over 100,000 of them remaining in inventory and as the Mannlicher 1888 was still in use they...

Werdle's are antiques, paid cash and walked out.

Glad you're back.

You must have hit the lottery while you were gone to be able to afford all those. I have skipped out on gun shows for quite a while but started back last week and this week and...

Found this at a local gun show I'd never gone to before. I spotted it pretty early but it was a bit more than I wanted to spend so I went through the entire show looking for something a bit more...

Found this at an antique shop today. No idea what it is but appears to be something associated with the US Army as that's its crest. The L and the U are unknown as is the type of belt but appears...

Strap that baby to the roof of your car and head for the desert.........oops, I think that's already been done.

Interesting seeing boxes from somewhere else. It's a big collectors item here. I don't actively collect but have a few old boxes I've picked up over the years. Winchester, Remington pretty much...

asw - E.u.F Hörster, 1941/mid 1944. In that condition, it isn't worth much. Blade looks ground down. Carefully get rid of the rust and you can improve it some but the ground blade is a killer for...

Thanks, that is very helpful. I didn't think the thing came apart. There is some rust on the inside I'd like to get out and taking it apart will make that possible. I was pretty close with the...

Here's the shell, I took a photo of the tip, maybe a firing pin type deal that had to be driven into the spotting explosive. Seller said not to hit it with a hammer.
