milled ferrule is too early for Feb 1941

stock is not Springfield

I had some original "green" color furniture and installed it on an early four digit Colt SP1 semi auto sporter- sort of a fake 601. Added an original triangular charging handle too and early bolt...

The Edgewater buffer when located is very expensive now, figure over $200 and maybe more.

US Ordnance started looking for a replacement for the Browning M2 50 cal m/g near the end of the Korean War. By 1959, they had the T175E2 adopted as the M85 and used in the M60 MBT. They thought...

Also there was the Australian field mod of the SLR during Viet Nam. The SLR barrel was cut back to the front sight and modified to fire full auto. Sometimes the

There was a pistol submachine gun in 22 WMR with a 30 rd magazine manufactured in Argentinia called the EDDA

Finding a magazine for the 22 WRM cartridge should not be that difficult as both Ruger and Marlin example s could be found -

some German WW1 fighters like the D3, triplane & D7 used black and white stripes as a very effective camouflage.

Looks like WW2 photo, note the stripes with T and cloth belt for the 50 cal cartridges

Alot depends on the weapon - original, restored or rebuilt

How many carbines sell in the 5K to 10K price range ? while a nice restored or original 1940 M1 rifle will sell in this price range,...
