I've bought from Empire Arms and Simpson Ltd., happy with both. Allans Armory looks good too and I think lists some things on gunbroker.

Nice list, and looks like Aragorn has a great detailed response. Also I'll echo Vincent on adding a Springfield 1903 and some pistols.
Of your list I only own and have shot the Finn M39, mosin...

At that price, and with those results at the range, yeah I agree.

$39,500. Seems like that's actually a good price? Comes with a magazine and pouches, and they threw in a...

I like the look of your Victory! Got plenty of character, and you don't need to fret over its finish so much.
My .38 special Victory was the 2nd handgun I ever bought, almost 10 years ago. I enjoy...

Thank you sirs for your observations and input. And wow having 153 and 154 would be awesome, too bad about the crazy prices.

I tried taking more pics of the lockbar in different light but none...

I'll have to put it together again to get more pics but can add a couple more I took from before. It's an odd mix, with a few more old parts like grooved lower band, concentric ring trigger guard, D...

I recently purchased a Garand that had few pics on the sale ad, but it was a 3 digit so I went for it. I had been trying for a long time to fill that hole in my collection, and was interested mostly...

Here's mine I got on a Bavarian Underwood from the CMP. It's a type 2 highwood. Doesn't have just an I, but a T.I. in the slingwell. The numbers in the slingwell don't match my serial.

Here's my conversion, has a 2-41 barrel date, -1 bolt, no drawing number op rod, and other early goodies. Like al's, my op rod unfortunately has the cut too. Also at some point the short pinion and...

Well, I went back for another look and I think I might see where we went wrong on the cartouche. I didn't notice before, but it looks like the SA/EMcF stamp was double struck. I had been focusing...

Dang, oh well still lots to learn

Hmm, looked pretty good at first but now I'm skeptical. The SA lettering looks too tall compared to the EMcF lettering, and the ord wheel looks too big to be a small wheel, and of course too small...

Sweet, I got em all right! I had some good comparisons to go by, but that last one almost threw me with the double stamping. Only thing is it's easier being able to compare with pics on the...

I went back and in normal light the difference doesn't look quite so pronounced. I'm still trying to figure out the best ways to do the lighting so I can take pics without using a flash.

But I...

I've been looking to get my first 1911/A1 since the beginning of this year. I finally filled this gaping hole in my collection and picked up this Remington Rand yesterday at the Monroe, WA gun show....

The c is also too wide and maybe a little too tall, and isn't centered under the A. And the shape of the S, aside from being too skinny like Bill said, isn't angled right in the middle.

This one has so many differences compared next to the real one maybe it's easier to say what's right about it. They didn't misspell WRA and GHD.

The top letters are too close together, the A is too wide, can't even see the crossbar for the A, the top letters don't align right over the H, the lower letters are spaced too far apart, the box is...

There's a little gap between the cannon ball and the wheel, the slope of the middle of the "S"es are too flat, the top "S" isn't aligned right when you look at it in relation to the left side of the...

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Skennerton at the WAC gun show in Puyallup, WA today, real nice guy. We talked some about a Mk1T I had bought last month, among other things Enfield. I ended up...

Nice score! I didn't even notice the concentric rings at first. Those rings identify it as early more so than that number, since it looks like the next version retains that number but loses the...

The "c" looks too tall and skinny and the "M" too wide, and they are too close together. Looks like the rightmost letters are too far from the edge of the box.

That EMcF/GAW stock of yours sounds...

The top row "S" on that one looked to me like it was leaning forward a little, not standing at attention like it should.

All fake except 11?
