      Ever Seen a Mauser Shotgun?

      Snagged this on Gunbroker about 5 months ago or so. After World War One the Allies and the Treaty of Versailles forced the German’s to destroy much of their armaments. There were a lot of excess Gewehr 98 rifles left over, so instead of turning them into scrap, many of them were bought up by...

      Maryland Arms Collector’s Show: Timonium, March 16th-17th, 2024

      The Maryland Arms Collector’s Baltimore “Antique” Arms show is back again. For those that have never attended before, the show is usually massive and size is comparable to one of the Nation’s shows in Dulles. It’s at the State Fairgrounds in Timonium in the Cow Palace. March 16th and 17th...

      CMP 11/44 M1 Garand with Shipping Crate

      I was down in Huntsville, Alabama a couple weeks ago for a wedding, and decided to make a 2 hour (one way) detour to the South Store in Anniston. They had plenty of rifles, but none of them were very nice. Mostly beat up Danish returns, and pitted and refinished Filipino returns. Only a few of...

      Ottoman Contract Peabody-Martini

      Picked this up at the MACA show last weekend. The show has been slowly getting smaller which is a shame, and has been somewhat dry as far as C&R rifles go, but I always seem to find something. I found this during the show set up on Friday (MACA members get into the show for free and before...

      Starting the New Year Off Strong: Finnish Capture M44 Mosin-Nagant

      Found this on Gunbroker soon after it was listed late at night last week. One of the few good things to come out of working a horrible rotating over-night schedule. Almost immediately hit the "Buy It Now". The pictures weren't great, but I figured it was worth taking a risk on. I never thought...

      Royal Tiger Vetterli M1870/87/15

      I got this in the mail last week along with a Steyr M1888/90. I know the horror stories about Royal Tiger Imports, but I had good luck with the Steyr M1888/95 I got for Christmas, so I figured I’d try again. I got these as a birthday gift anyway, so I wasn’t out any money. The Vetterli...

      Royal Tiger Gamble- Steyr M1888/95

      I’ve been closely following the entire Royal Tiger (aka I.O.) Ethiopian Cache thing for the past couple years. I’ve always wanted to order something from them, but I’ve heard horror stories about their shaky history, and the condition of the rifles didn’t match the prices that they were asking...

      Maryland Arms Collector’s Gun Show Timonium 3/19-3/20, 2022

      After a two year hiatus, the Maryland Arms Collector’s Baltimore “Antique” Arms show is coming back. For those that have never attended before, the show is usually massive and size is comparable to one of the Nation’s shows in Dulles. It’s at the State Fairgrounds in Timonium in the Cow...

      German Issued Vz.24

      Picked up this Vz.24 at the last Gettysburg show. Once I saw the tiger striping stock I couldn't let it go. The Czech lion crest is hard to pass up too. This is easily the nicest Vz.24 I've ever seen. This one was accepted into Czech service in 1936. When the Germans took over they re-issued...

      Battle Damaged Finn Capture 1938 Tula

      Picked this up from our own Brian at South Carroll Sporting Goods. Once I saw it I couldn't put it down. This one has obvious signs of being hit by shrapnel or some other type of impact. Left side of the stock is peppered with a bunch of smaller holes. Nothing that seems to have severely...

      Duffle-Cut Dutch M1895 Long Rifle

      Picked this up a couple days ago at a local honey hole. The Dutch adopted the turn-bolt Mannlicher design in the 1890's and used them up through WW2. They had so many different variants it'll make your head spin. Virtually identical to the Portuguese and Romanian M1893 Mannlichers except for...

      Gettysburg Buy: Snider-Enfield Mk. II**

      Picked this up on an impulse/gut feeling yesterday at the Gettysburg show. It's a Snider-Enfield MkI** in .577 Snider caliber. In the mid/late 1860's most militaries discovered that Breech-loaders were the way to go and began to look for ways to rapidly convert existing Muzzleloader firearms...

      Winchester M1917 From CMP South Store

      Got this Winchester M1917 hand picked from the South Store in Anniston, Alabama last week. I've got a couple DCM and CMP M1's, but I always wanted one of the M1917's. They had about a dozen to choose from, only about 2 Winchester's, 2 Remington and the rest Eddystone. About 15 or so M1903...

      Papered Bringback Femaru 37M

      Picked this up yesterday at the Gettysburg show. Apparently it recently came out of an estate. I've never dealt with Femaru's much, so it was more of an impluse buy. Seller had a decent Mannlicher M.88/90 that I missed out on because some guy bought it right after I put it down to look at the...

      A Tale of Two CZ's

      Picked these up a couple weeks ago. One from the recent local Gregory's auction, the other I snagged on Gunbroker for cheap. I've been looking for a decent CZ27, and knocked out good examples of two interesting variations. The first is a Norwegian Politi issue CZ27. From what I can tell...

      Romanian Capture K98k

      Picked this up from Brian at South Carroll Sporting Goods at the Frederick show. He just got in several of them. They're actually all pretty darn nice for what they are. Most Romanian Capture K98k's I've seen have sewer pipe bores and completely mismatched. He had plenty to choose from, and...

      SIG M17 Surplus

      Knew I had to have one as soon as I saw that they were being sold to the public. Modern surplus stuff doesn't come up very often, so I figured I better jump on it. Picked it up on Gunbroker since I couldn't find any shops in MD that had one. I had to pay up for it, but not as terrible as some...

      M1883 Reichsrevolver Rig

      Picked this up this past weekend much to the chagrin of my bank account. I've been looking for one of these for years, so when a nice one popped up, I pounced on it. The M1879 and M1883 Reichsrevolvers were standard in the German military from 1879 to 1908 when the Luger was adopted. The M1883...

      German Issued Mle.1935 A

      Picked this up yesterday at the Dulles Expo Show. Big thanks to KH195 for giving me the heads up on it. Been looking for a decent example of one of these for a good price for a while. The seller knocked the price down from $559 to $450 OTD which was nice. I didn't even have to ask. French...
