      Tower Cavalry Carbine

      Looking at a 1858 ish cavalry carbine in pretty good shape for the age. No pics at the moment but... Would you shoot it? Similar to this...

      Stevens visible loading repeater pump .22

      Little auction action from tonight. Cochran's in Boonsboro had a 175 gun estate sale. Hot, humid, loud (in spite of ear plugs) and way too many folks too close together for Covid comfort. This was #8 on the 175 firearm list and followed a 1890 Winchester pump that brought $500 with a linseed...

      My pair of baby pumpers

      Just a series of pics of my '39 vintage Winchester Model 62 and '28 vintage Remington Model 12-C. All of the pictures are clickable for full sized images. Of course they are out of order and show from newest to oldest but... A lot of rubbing with steel wool and oil...

      1863 Springfield value?

      Where would you value a NJ marked Savage built 1863 Springfield with a nice stock except it has a repaired cracked wrist with no ramrod. It has a Watertown stamped sling and honestly looks to be in very good shape. Metal was good, almost better than my repop Enfield. The front sight had been...

      1853 Pattern Enfield (Repro)

      Been reading too many civil war books and came across this guy at a local pawn shop today. Saw it a month ago and it talked to me so... First BP, looking for basic tips and advice as well as trying to figure out who's repro it is. My understanding is this particular rifle was used in films...

      How to HQL for dummies?

      Maybe I've overlooked it but would have thought there would be a step by step HQL process thread stickied some where. I'm training exempt as well. Browsing the MD.gov HQl site link is confusing. It looks like to apply I need to register here. I also need to get the fingerprints somewhere...

      Some CNC enabled gunsmith projects I've done.

      I think I did individual threads but can't find them so here's a couple posts of them. Ruger 22/45 front site modification. Did this because the front site kept blending into the rear making target acquisition difficult. A hobby shop provided the neon dowels. Drilled a hole and then milled a...

      curiouser and curiouser, 1/17 auction

      An epic crap ton of C+R stuff. I'm going to try and be there for scraps. It's Cochran's so I expect standing room only. http://www.cochranauctions.com/Gun-Auction-Photos-1-15-2017.php Sadly a lot of the pics are of guns I've never seen before.

      Fresh from the Restore

      Visited the local Habitat for Humanity Restore for some cheap paint and they had a shelf full of books. Picked up a '93 dated red softback copy of Scott Duff's M1 Garand: WWII for a dollar. They also had a bunch of late 80's catalog type 'books' that were full of current late '80's offerings...

      Aussie SMLE No1 MkIII* discovery and refurb

      This is intended to be a follow up thread on the steps I'm going through to get my MkIII in shooter condition and restore the stock to a military finish. I've spent my spare time the last couple days doing research on it and hope to share some of what I've found and hopefully learn more about...

      Aussie SMLE No3 + Japanese matchlock

      Picked up a pretty nice SMLE No3. Reicever is stamped M.A> Lithgow S.M.L.E. III 1941, butt stock has 1943 and a R MAO 6/45 stamps. Most of the metal looks parkerized or phosphated. Wood has brass pins with a coating of Poly but minimal dings. Been wanting one of these for a long time but...

      Squires Bingham Model 20...

      I'll preface this by saying that I'm sorry that my camera battery is dead, pics will follow. Saw this 'gem' sitting on the rack at a local pawn shop while picking up a '86 vintage 10/22 carbine. Neat action, overall in decent shape but missing it's mag with the most amazing tigerstripe wood...

      Cool little shop in Martinsburg WV

      Did a pawn shop crawl yesterday and found a cool little shop in Martinsburg that had a lot of C+R stuff in a little museum and some stuff for sale. Probably not worth a 100 mile round trip but if you get up this way... J+R's Things & Stuff and Pawn 108 N Queen St Martinsburg WV Tues-Fri...

      C+R stuff at Washington St pawn

      In Hagerstown 1903 and French scripted SMLE #7, both sporterized. 1903 was a 1.3M Springfield with a '22 barrel. Stock was cut down, missing the fore grip and bands and was cracked but had a cartouche on the left side. Metal looked nice. They were asking $399. SMLE #7, same...

      Another Yugo SKS

      Picked this guy up yesterday at a local shop for $400. Kind of a buyers remorse for not picking one up at the York show and also because it called to me. Bore was dark with sharp rifling, stock was decent showing some use and wear. For the most part the numbers match but it does have the...

      Which sling for a Colombian refurb'd Mauser?

      A couple years ago one of my friends gave me one of the Columbian R.FAMAGE refurb mausers rechambered in 30-06 with a sporterized stock. What I understand is these were rechambered in the early 50's (mine is stamped 1952) and eventually resold in the US @ 1960 for $25 with a shellac coated...

      Dumb turkey hunters...

      My son was down at my buddies farmette the other week and he has a couple turkeys in next to his chicken coop. His tom will gobble any time we make noise, shoot a 22, get a gobble. Bang a hammer, get a gobble. He's called in wild turkeys before. While they were taking a break he kept...
