Got this recently, seems to be a nice condition a3 in a scant stock. It has non matching numbers on the butt. Both serial number and barrel date to late 1943. The stock seems to be absent most of the...
You doubt it's a legal import or you doubt it's a problem?
I'm not a FAL expert by any stretch of the imagination but is it strange that a FAL, L1A1 to be more exact I guess, has an upper and lower receiver numbers matching AD prefixed SN but no import marks...
Hello snipione! A year later but I just saw your reply also! lol
Anyway, thank you for the offer and I am still looking for either parts or recommendations to fix the hammer and or push rod (and its...
Thanks Tom, these are small details I hadn't picked up. I realized the stock had probably been refinished but the cam lock escaped me. About the A stamp on the barrel, the Poyer/Riesch book says the...
Sorry for the delay all and thanks for the responses so far. I've finally uploaded photos. I don't have the rifle yet...thinking of putting it on layaway. These are all the photos I've got. Seems to...
Hello all,
I'd be grateful if someone could look up a carbine I'm researching....SN 128,577. A model 1879? Proper C marked Buckhorn sight, no stacking swivel, cleaning rod trapdoor in US marked...
That's why I'm trying to decipher MNG and G 33 to see if there's any connection. Taking a leap, the MNG could be Michigan Natl Guard; I found a source saying "The [Michigan] regiments organized in...
Hi all, finally found a good condition Krag for my collection. These are beautiful rifles and super pleased with this one. Un-messed with, has the sling and a bayonet. From the serial number it seems...
Hi all,
Recently picked up a Springfield m1880 knife, brass guard, looks good, sharpened over time. The scabbard is interesting. A thin metal, tin maybe? Soldered together with little design...
The 36 caliber Navy model is a martially marked Second Model, Fourth Type based on the serial number range. Made in 1862-63. The Pocket 31 caliber is also a Second Model, Fourth Type based on the...
Hi all, I've got what I think is a model 1854 type 1 Lorenz....needing a couple pieces -- a front band/nosecap and the middle band. While searching for those pieces, I want to make sure I'm looking...
Hi all,
I just picked up what seems to be a model 1850 Prussian cavalry pistol....except a couple modifications? I can't tell if they're original, i.e. a variation I haven't ID'd yet, or a...
Hi all,
Recently picked up a decent example of a 1900. Kind of beat up but not too bad. I like my milsurps with some honest wear, not pristine anyway. ;)
Anyway, had a question about the SN....
Hi all, just came back from a gun show, picked up this little baby. Been looking for a P14 on and off for a little while and this seemed to be in pretty good condition. So now the stupid 'buy first,...

Hello,
I'd like to know if anyone knows a source (unlikely) or rough measurements to fabricate a replacement ejector rod for for a Model 1870 Marine Gasser.
Also, does anyone have any specific...
Got the Berdan cartidge in the mail today - fits like a glove! Well, the hand inside the glove I guess is the more correct analogy. The extractor closes flush with the rest of the breech and the...
ok - I got my copy of Layman's 'Remington Rolling Block Military Rifles of the World' in the mail today. Read through it and paid special attention to the Danish section. Doesn't seem to fit. Went a...
also, forgot to mention, it has a centerfire block. No double firing pin conversion, just CF. Which is odd (?) because if it was a conversion it should have the newer style rear sight and ladder?...
jamie5070, still RF - hasn't been converted to CF nor does it have the elongated rear sight as I've read they were all switched to upon conversion. Not sure of the caliber yet. Original, unconverted,...
Patrick, thanks for the reply. I've been able to find some more info and I've read that the sights were switched out at some point from the original to the long type when Denmark converted them to a...
....and there seem to be soooo many iterations of this rifle in type and caliber. This seems to definitely be a military model since it has a bayonet lug and a long one at that - I'm thinking some...
