Thanks Emri. I have contacted several museums and numerous historical societies, and a few specialized gunsmithing companies.....trying to avoid law enforcement, but if nothing develops from my sent...

FINALLY got the answer.....Spent the last few days making several calls to the ATF. They kept directing me to another division, as no one was really sure of the correct answer. But a gentleman (who's...

Chuck,
I am not looking to engrave a number, I am looking to recover the number that was there...Is there a way to do it ? I believe the metal was buffed after recovery to repair damage caused by...

That is what I was hoping to hear, now I need to find out how to recover the serial number to see if I found a treasure.
Thanks again

Not sure if I am in the right place, so please advise if not...Recently acquired a Winchester Lee Navy rifle (All are antiques from pre 1898) with all the metal surfaces buffed smooth, making the...

Thank you John

If someone has the time, please check 1896 Krag #39880. Thank you

I looked on the old Bannerman page, and it shows the rifle in Mike Weight's collection. I do not know how old the site is, but I did send Mike an email to see if he still has the rifle. The serial...

Hoping this forum may help. Just acquired a 1895 Lee Navy that has most of its metal buffed out, making the markings very faint. I can barely see what looks like a serial # of 5960. Was there a block...

Chris, It has a long barrel, seems 100% original.
Thanks for the input

Chuck,
Do you have a SC for sale ?

Just read my monthly VFW magazine.....40 years ago this month, during the 4 days of Woodstock, 109 Americans were KIA in Viet Nam

I know that the very early Remington rods started out with a concave area just in front of the knob....just like all the '03's, Was this the same for early Smith Corona ? Or were they ALL straight...

Dan, Can I trouble you for Eddystone #1338197 with an E 11-18 barrel ?
Thank you.

Thank You

Tom,
You got it. I was too concerned with removing the forward bolt. It slid off with only removing the rear bolt....and the number matches the SN. Worth the effort to know. THANK YOU.

Trench...I...

Don't like being a bother, but hope someone can give me a date for # 18044xx
Thank you

Thanks Jeff. No problem with the handguard, just the butt stock bolt. Tried again, no ues. Rather than bugger it up...I will leave it. I am almost convinced it has never been off, and that being the...

I realize this is not the correct forum, but hoping someone may be of help. A US Army Colt Model 1909 has the proper RAC and FB proofs, along with the Rampant Colt, but it also has "CTC" stamped on...
