I'm stumped as to what unit is represented this brass disc on a Lee Metford. I assume the "V" stands for "Volunteer" but I've scoured "The Broad Arrow" and other books to know avail. Anyone have...

Pictures!

Plumley.

Yup. I had a tough time explaining that to the gent who sold me a M1891 Argentine Mauser that he didn't need a copy of my C&R nor do NICS check. Just pack it up and ship it off!

My curiosity has been piqued. How did an Austrian become a fan of Hobart?

Pete Rose? Amazing talent but he was his own worst enemy and had questionable morals. Admitting to cheating on his wife with a teenager who was most likely under the age of consent, thumbing his...

I thank God I live in Texas. Our Sheriff's Association members have vowed to not enforce any unconstitutional gun laws such as confiscation nor assist the Feds in any manner should they descend on...

We meet neath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare;
As they shout back our peals of laughter
It seems that the dead are there.
Ho! stand to your glasses steady!

As with all things military surplus, buy the item, not the story. I have no doubt this is a military issue anemometer, whether it can be attributed to Sepp Allerberger is entirely another story.

Back in the day when Canada was a free country my grandfather owned a Mauser Schnellfeuerpistole. He was a renowned Geologist and Paleontologist and was the president of the U.S. Geological Survey...

This is my thinking too. My research has found that the government conversions usually had all the bells and whistles: charger guide insert and spring loaded ejector nub installed, at least...

Lance Lysiuk dedicated an entire chapter to the No.1 Mk V in his excellent book: "A Collector's View - THE SMLE". The major differences between a MkIII and and MkV are as follows:

Definitely not Hebrew.

Cinders, we're just getting back up to speed on availibility of large rifle primers as evidenced by ssgross and RossMkIIEnjoyer's comments but the price hasn't come down. We're still looking at...

I'm considering buying a Sterling 7.62 NATO conversion but the U S stamped on the receiver ring concerns me. Lacking any Flaming Bomb ordnance stamps elsewhere my concern is the U S stamp could mean...

You should be able to find it in here: WWII AAC / AAF Squadron Insignia Patch Page 2 ~ units above 200

Looks like cotton batting to me.

This is the perfect solution for those of us who are right-handed but Left eye dominant.

So most of you, as have I, have probably been struggling to restock our reserves of large rifle primers. I've seen my stockpile dwindle down the last 3-4 years to the point where I have been...

I think this picture is posed, judging by the proximity of civilians.

Is that pile of ammo at 10:18 .303 British or 7.62 X 54R? Either way it's funny how when talking about the latest and greatest ammunition of the 21st century he's displaying ammunition from the 19th...

I used to scoff at conspiracy theories.

I was delighted one day while rifling through a pile of gear for sale at a Flea Market to find an emergency pattern carrier for the British civilan gas mask. At $15 I thought it was over-priced but...
