Picked up this VZ24 at Gettysburg. I hadn't planned to spend much money but couldn't pass it up. It hasn been refurbed. Has the 3 line BRNO receiver marking. Acceptance date 1928. Bolt serial lined out and it's stamped matching on the root of the handle. Stock matches receiver. The wrist sling...
The Spring 2015 GCA (Garand Collectors Association) Journal has an article about the FAKE Collector Grade M1's. These rifles were manufactured and the certificates forged In Eldersburg, Maryland. The article names the main perpetrator, Bruce Bowers, and implies others were involved. The article...
I'm posting these pictures for Lou45. He doesn't have a camera and had me take a few pictures. This rifle came into his shop and he hasn't ever seen one. He's thinking about adding it to his collection, even though it doesn't really fit, because it's so unusual. I'm sure Lou will check in to see...
I have a 1948 dated No1 Mk III Ishapore grenade launching rifle. It's matching numbers and of typical well used condition. The difference is that it has metal bands rather than the common wire wrapping. I'm going to take this to a local shop for them to sell on consignment. What would be a...

Anyone know a local gunsmith that can troubleshoot an FAL? A friend has one that fails to fully eject the spent cartridges. He wanted me to look at it but he's already checked anything I could check. It's a "home build" and I don't know anything about the condition of the parts or what receiver...
Thinking of getting a Taurus PT 1911. It was my father-in-laws and and my mother-in-law wants to sell it. My father-in-law loved it and shot it some but not a lot. I see many mixed reviews. I want to give her what it's worth and used prices seem inconsistent. Any good advice? Thanks.....
Hello,
There's a "want to buy post" on the trader asking for a .22Mag lever rifle. I have a Marlin 1894M .22 magnum and was wondering what a reasonable value would be. I would include a few hundred rounds of ammo too. I know the 1894M is somewhat uncommon and was made 1 or 2 years. The rifle's...
I'm looking to put a scope on a 10/22. We'll mostly use it for informal target shooting. I don't want one of the inexpensive .22 scopes but something a little nicer. Anyone have any suggestions, I would like something in the $150 range. Thanks.
If someone were to have a M1 rifle received from the old DCM and this rifle was in unissued condition what would it be worth? This rifle would be in the 5.9mil range and unfired since received in the mid 1980s. It has the original paperwork but no box. CMP ocassionally auctions these unissued...
Just wondering if anyone has made it to the range with their Shooters Discount vz-58. I'm planning on taking mine to Hap Baker this coming Wednesday. I'm not a big folding stock fan so I ordered a complete buttstock from Czechpoint for $65. I doubt if it will be here by Wednesday but I don't see...
Hey, I bought one of the vz58's from Lou and was wondering where I can get some mags. I tried the Harrisburg show but couldn't find any. Most vendors responded with "huh?" I was told by one dealer he had a bunch at a previous show but none now. Sounds like I may have a problem. Any suggestions...
I have a CZ52 pistol I want to part with but I'm having a bit of trouble determining it's value. The pistol is one of the blued re-furbs. I have 5 magazines, some parkerized some blued(?). I have the cleaning rod and a holster (if I can find it). Also have about 500 rounds of what I think is...
