      Reputable Dealer for Transfer between Bowie and Baltimore?

      I almost never need to transfer a firearm through a dealer, but I need one now for a non-regulated long gun. Seller lives in Bowie. I live in Baltimore. We'd like to find a place that's convenient to both of us, so hopefully somewhere in the middle. Most every dealer around me charges an...

      HB 786 Impact on C or R

      I don't know if anyone is following the various discussions of the gun bills, but HB 786 is very problematic for 03FFLs. Unlike some of the other sections contained in the bill which do contains exemptions relating to C or R guns, proposed Section 5-204.3 does not contain an exception to the...

      Dutch M1895 - Bolt Disassmbly

      This is kind of a wacky post, but I made a video of how to disassemble the bolt to a Dutch Mannlicher M1895 because I couldn't find a single video on it and could find only one web posting with instructions. Not sure if it will help anyone, but, at the expense of looking like a dork, I figured...

      Model 1883 Reichsrevolver

      I realize that this isn’t a C or R gun but I’m hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. My friend inherited a Model 1883 Reichsrevolver made at Erfurt in 1883. Numbers match. Bluing is less than perfect. I can find next to nothing as far as info and value. I see a few completed...

      I bought a Nagant

      Not the rifle kind with the bent bolt, laser and bipod. I haven’t bought a gun in a long time. For whatever reason, I have never wanted a Nagant. I didn’t want them when they were available for $99 and I certainly don’t want them now when they are $350. Aside from the price, the ghastly import...

      M91/30 “Training Rifle”

      I recently acquired a Finn-captured Izhevsk M91/30 in a Finnish M1891 stock without a hand guard. I was told that this was a “training rifle” and have seen a few tidbits of information here and there about these so-called training rifles. So far as I can tell, the key characteristics are the M91...

      Bound Book Question

      I'm wondering if anyone has thought through this issue or ever asked the question of the BATFE. A few months ago, I purchased a Finnish Mosin P-27 that was assembled at Arms Depot Number 1 (AV1). By pulling the action out of the stock, I can see that the rifle was built on a Sestroryetsk...

      Added to the Peruvian Collection

      Aside from Finnish Mosins, South American contract Mausers are my primary Collection focus. About 18 months ago, I was fortunate enough to acquire a Vz32 made for Peru in the original 7.65x53. Československá zbrojovka made only 5,000 Vz32s for Peru. Last week, I added an all-matching Peruvian...

      Finnish P-27

      Here are the auction pictures. I’ve held this gun in my hands and it is nicer that the pics show. We’ll see ... I love that you can see the remnants of the prior serial number.

      Help with Stamps on Parts

      I need to make this thread meaningful so I will tell a story. Several years ago, I bought a very nice Spanish M1943 from Mr. Kroh. I shot it a few times shortly after I got it, and it’s a rack driver. I put it away. About 7 months ago, I pulled it out and said to myself, “Andy! Did you realize...

      C or R Beware

      I had to give this a catchy title. This isn’t necessarily C&R related so delete if appropriate, but I just wanted to remind everyone that the world is filled with scammers and they regularly rip-off gun collectors. Just a reminder to be vigilant and take a few minutes to think before engaging in...

      03 FFL Timeline - New Applications

      Has anyone applied for an 03 FFL recently and, if so, what has been your experience with the turnaround time? I didn't realize that my old license was expiring, so I missed the renewal and had to apply for a new license. I mailed the application on February 8, 2017 and they hit my card...

      Hysterical Mosin Video

      This is one of the best I've seen. It's funnier if you're a member of a Facebook group. http://youtu.be/jZeZFxbHjQA

      Buying Powder - ID Required?

      I got caught in the wormhole about the 3% antimony which lead (no pun intended) me to the MSP raid of the home of a guy because he had purchased a bunch of ammo from Fred's for guns that the MSP thought he didn't have, and it got me thinking. Every time I buy powder (which is not often) from...

      Interesting Mosins

      I hate to start a thread for these, but I think you guys will appreciate them. A guy posted these on a Facebook group this weekend. His description (with my edits): "Two of my favorite walnut-stocked Mosins. The 91/30 is a Spanish Civil War rifle that was fully refurbished in Spain to...

      Homemade PPK

      My grandfather handled and played with a Walther PPK shortly after WW2 and loved it so much that he decided that he would make one. Here it is. He made this from absolute scratch - there is not a part that he didn't fabricate. He made one mistake and it still bugs him to this day (he's 98). It's...

      CZ52

      Who loves them and who hates them, and why? I have an opportunity to pick up a nice one. I think I can get the guy down to $275. I don't like the import mark but maybe this is typical?

      Type 94 Nambu

      Who has one, why should I buy one and how much should I pay? I'm not into Japanese weapons - in fact, I have none - but I have an opportunity to purchase one that's in very nice condition. I don't know whether it has a holster.

      Remember those $600 "unissued" K31s at Samco?

      Japanese Type 44

      I've been following these since I saw one in the flesh at the Redding Auction a few months ago. I don't know why, as I'm not into Japanese weapons, but the Type 44 Cavalry Carbine just grabs me. The one at the Redding Auction was pristine, with full mum, and I want to say it sold for either...
