There were many extraordinary men involved in that battle, the movie, any movie for that...
Any ideas on the value of these unopened tins of ammo?
This makes sense because in his collection are at least one VZ24. There are 4 Mausers if you don't count the two Siamese Mausers both of which are immaculate. So 6 all together.

In cleaning out the ammo bunker for my old friend we discovered these unopened packages
Thanks for the information, I will need more help soon, we are cleaning out a storage bin full of ammunition of various makes and calibers.
Do you know if it’s safe to use in other .303 rifles?

Have you taken it to a good gunsmith?
I am just running an idea by here, before replacing the barrel I would have the crown of the muzzle checked, it may just need a simple recrowning of the...
Thank you for the background on the Ross, I knew nothing about the Ross rifle before taking on the task of cleaning and preparing the collection to be sold. It is certainly a stout weapon and the...

I hope these pictures are helpful, you can see where someone removed the original front sights and did a poor job of it.
I'm working with a tablet that has so much glare on the screen I can't see...
