Hey All,
I have a Revolutionary War era musket I am looking for some help in identification. I have done some of my own research, but the stock mostly has me confused.

Starting with the lock, it...

Hi Neal ... I think it is likely the gun has been disassembled a few times with the wrong screwdrivers after CMP, as there is at least one other screw I will look to replace: the windage yolk screw...

Hey All,
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! I spent Black Friday working on a S-C 03A3! It is a CMP gun, and is largely correct, but I have a few questions:

1) The stock appears to be an...

All,
I have picked up a Winchester M1917. Based on the left side arsenal marks, it looks like it has been in San Antonio Arsenal twice ... [SAA] and [S SAA] ... as well as Augusta Arsenal (AAG). I...

Hey All,
I did not catch the replies to this post. Very sorry; will go back and thank!

@Peter
I am not sure what is up. I posted a picture of the backside of the lock plate, but the link below...

Hi All,
I have taken in an old 1861 dated Pattern 1853 Enfield (Tower) Musket. Looks to be all original, and I have posed pictures of some markings under the barrel and lock. The musket is well...

Bump to add additional pictures.

dou 44

It does not have the winter trigger. In further reading, the dot marked guns had lowercase suffixes; but, I have seen some photos of R and T-block dou guns (on either side of mine), and they were...

Hi all,
I picked up a k98 recently. It is a dou 44, and while it has parts with correct waffenamts, it also has a serial number (matching gun) with an uppercase suffix (S) ... but, no lion stamps...

I'll post better pics when I get the gun in!

Hey all,
I am considering purchasing this gun. From the research I've done, the finishes look right, the stamps look right, etc. The S/N and ac 45 stamp on the slide look to be light, but I have...

Hey All,
I am thinking about picking up the subject pistol, but the lanyard loop was cut off the frame. It is original in all other respects. There is no information on replacing the lanyard loop,...

All,
I have possession of the gun, and it is gorgeous! Thanks for all the advice, guys.

I am having some trouble understanding the cone, cone seat and how "fire gets in the hole" I can drop a...

All,
I recently picked up a Springfield 1863 Type II musket. I found a PDF having the "rules for management and cleaning" of these guns. It has been very useful, and is amusing to read! I thought...

A friend of mine took pictures of this sword from his late uncle's estate. His uncle served in WWII (that much is known), but not his whereabouts and when. I know absolutely nothing about swords. ...

Hey All,
I do not know all the differences between the Springfield muskets (1861, 1863 and 1864 guns). This gun is dated 1864, and has the features of the 1863 or 1864, but I know that many guns...

Hi All,
I am working on my first late model k98 (a 1944 dot). It is quite nice, less one buggered rear TG and capture screw. In addition, the rear TG screw doesn't have the same head finish.

I...

I think there can be a distinction here, and this can apply to other military rifles. If the gun is numbers matching, with a mismatched bolt, but the bolt itself is matching (sear, safety, bolt...

All,
I have recently purchased a 1944 dot k98. I will not get it for a few days, but it is purported to have all original finishes, all numbers matching, and no import marks. I am relatively new...

Hey All,
I recently picked up an 1873 TD, and am having trouble making out the S/N. I have not seen enough of them to make out all of it, and thought I'd ask an experienced forum. Please see the...

All,
I have added more pics. Please check here:

Photos

Hey All,
I picked up this gun, and the receiver and bolt looks like it has paint applied over flaking. The flaking itself looks like a previous paint finish. I have posted some photos, and welcome...

Hey All,
I am hoping with posting a photo someone can confirm that this gun is (what I think it is) ... a series 10 Nagoya gun. It is in "last ditch" configuration.

I am looking for two...

Hey all,
I have owned a few Finnish-marked (i.e. boxed SA) MN rifles, but came across one today with an Si mark. I cannot find anything about it online (but I get lots of hits with Mosin and...

So, I have to tell my wife this project is a bust, huh? Ok. I'll figure out something else to do ... :-)
