Hello to every one, just a novice collector, that every so often needs some information, I have a spanish 1893 short rifle 7x57, The barrel is shot, bullet will go to casing when inserted in the muzzle, I purchased a 1895 spanish short rifle barrel 2nd pattern for replacement of the orginal, only difference that I can tell is the rear sights and bases, The 93 has a ladder sight, and the 95 has a ramp sight, can I put this barrel on the 1893 action?
Thanks to any and all for any info, in advance, ezekial

I found this site while browsing M-14 pics on 'Google Images'.
I served in an American armoured unit during the 1960s. I was stationed in the Fulda Gap to defend Europe from an expected Soviet attack. We had M-48A2s, then the new M-60A1. The other guys had an awfully lot of T-62 and T-55s.
Who knew then that CCCP would fall apart the way it did? I miss The Cold War! :0 |

I qualified with every weapon I could get my hands on from the 1911 .45 to the 105mm tank gun. Good times. I trained on the M-1 Garand in Basic Training, then was issued an M-14 when I got to Germany (but did not carry it on board the tank!).
I now live quietly :0 ] on a small acreage with a wife, some animals, kids & grandkids, yada-yada....
Oh, and one noisey Harley and six very LOUD rifles.
That's me. It's a good life.

I looking forward to getting to know this site . I buy storage sheds as a hobbie from time to time I find old military items it would be good to be able to get info on some of it before I try to sell.

I have a 1911 U.S. Navy # 359393

It was my Grandfathers and he acquired it in WW1 and I believe it is a 1917 production and would like to know the history of this fine weapon.

I will put it on the market when I can establish a fair value.

I'm new to the Forum and will learn with your help.

Thanks to all.

Hi All!

Been involved in firearms for many years. Only recently have I developed an interest in the historic side of military firearms.

I'm hoping to meet others here and learn more about military surplus firearms. My first purchase was a Mosin Sniper that I spent way too much on and didn't know enough to know it wasn't "authentic." Lessons learned, and I do love shooting that bad boy, but know I can make better decisions in the future with the right knowledge.

My current interests are in "shooters," but I do think some day I'll get into true collectibles.
