An old friend arrived with an interesting piece of equipment a WWI flack vest.
It looks very similar to the one in the "Osprey Men-At-Arms Series Book # 157, Page 4.
In this book it is referred...
No I sold it I couldn't resist the offer.
I picked up bcd 4 a few years ago before I had any info on Mauser sniper rifles.
I thought someone had drilled and tapped it for a scope. It was an original sniper receiver but never used.
I...
Yesterday I received a Mauser K98 code 337 manufactured in 1940.
It doesn't have Mod. 98 marked on the left side of the receiver.
Now for the down side to the story, its a full stock Israeli...
I like the SKS and VZ 58 rifles, but my eyesight makes the use of the existing sights on these guns impossible to use.
Has anyone had that problem?
I can get scope mounts but would like to use...
I have an 03 conversion similar to that with a 1922 M2 bolt.
It doesn't have the parts to accommodate a magazine, and is missing a barrel date.
It could be one of the bayonets for the 1A1 converted for use on an M16 mounting system. India is using some of the INSAS system and is probably using existing bayonet manufacturing equipment to use...
I waited years for one on PEI. An old gentleman had it in his house and didn't want to sell it. A friend of mine knew I was interested in it and 5 or 6 years later he was selling it from the...
I think I have a couple of the complete ones C1 and C2 in my shop, and a number of spare parts. I have some new in the wrap C1 lower frames.
I have been gathering parts for an Israeli, Model 1930 Type .22 for the past few months, its nearing completion.
Thanks to some members who have provided guidance. I have gathered all of the...
I have a number of smaller Martini's and a Mark II International.
Wow, your collection is impressive. Can we have more detailed pictures, can you give us some info on the variations?
I have one in that condition and recoil would be an issue.
I think its about the same length as my G 33/40, and VZ 33.
My example on the scabbard has ( *** ) inside an oval in script.

My example has the oval with "F" "a" "g"...
Knowledge is everything in the gun collecting world.
My wife is always giving me a hard time about taking a case of reference books with us, when we set up at gun shows.
I have a VZ33 but it has a ramp front sight installed and an altered middle barrel band.
I am going to get it restored down the road. But I need the front sight protector and a new band or rebuilt...
I have that exact bayonet, on one of my Gew 88 "Commission" Rifle. I just tried it on one of my Gew 98's, and it has a better fit.
The rear C1 and C2 sights are common around here. I have both lying around my shop, along with new lower receivers, and some new internal parts.
When the 8L C1's came into the country I received one...
I have a number of them and did some research and found the small ring No7 bayonets were for the EM2.
Well I looked it up and they also sell 1917 Enfield Front sight removal tool Free shipping Made in USA.
The seller doesn't ship out of the country and I can't contact him.
I will probably have to...
Where might I find one of these pullers?
I need some sort of tool to remove the front sight assembly of a Winchester P14. I am the middle of a restoration project but am stalled by the front sight assembly. I have soaked it in solvents and...
I have a couple of the sights one has an alteration to the regular peep sight used in the folded position. The sights I believe are Winchester, but I would have to check.
One of the finest 16/33 I have ever seen. Down East Trading had one a few years ago but I don't recall if it was as nice as your example.
I have a 16/33 but someone installed a ramp front sight cut...
I have the slide for an Argentinian Mod 1927 but was manufactured by Colt Hartford Connecticut, the caliber isn't marked in metric but CAL. 45.
The serial number on the slide is on the top No 7774....
