Since many gun owners have converted to newer styles, older gun parts are getting very scarce. Get what you can, while you can.

Scooter22. You might consider grabbing it from hutchinsonrd if he will let go of it.

Yes, Colt Colteer model 1. Yes, Colt manufactured this model from 1957-1966. It was sold under the Colt name, but, also, under Sears and Roebuck, Wards and others. This was a 'mostly alloy' firearm and did not fair well. The alloy receiver parts would wear down to cause many problems. One of the...

Your Remington cartridge box was made between 1911-1915. Not sure about the Dominion box. The .38 Automatic Colt was designed by John Browning in 1897 as a prototype for the oncoming Colt M1900. Thereafter, the Colt M1902, Colt M1903 Pocket Hammer, Colt M1911 for Civilian Market, the...

I'm not a professional leather restorer, but there are many good ideas here. I have made several special-order, fitted leather holsters. There is no wax or oil, animal or vegetable based, that will allow a piece of leather to be formed into any shape. Hot44 is only asking how to make a dried...

The SOE was a underground hit and run organization formed in the U.K. At one time they numbered over 13,000. They secretly fought against the Axis Powers, and for Allied Forces. Originally, they fought with captured Axis weapons. They were also supplied with inexpensive weapons, such as the...

Sorry. I guess I resurrected Pops10 when I commented on his post.

Looks like prices are going up. Your Mak is listening an average of $800. Some higher, some lower. An interesting article at www.americanrifleman.org about your Ernst T.

What matters is how it turns out for you. When I cleaned up the Colt, I followed the YouTube videos and nearly quit, but I got it done. Since then, I have become comfortable with it. A car battery charger, a couple cups of cheap laundry detergent, a plastic bucket and a piece of metal. Try it on...

STOP ! Don't use anything corrosive on it. Electrolysis is the VERY BEST way I have found to remove rust on anything metal. I first used it on a severely rusted Colt revolver and the only thing it took off was the rust. Besides freeing the hammer and cylinder, it took the rust out of all the...

I think this could be a Cossack/Dragoon stock, if it is over 40". An M38 stock is 36.5". However, I don't believe the stock has been down. Which ever, the upper stock is missing. But the receiver is Izhevsk marked 1929. Barrel band spring cutouts have been filled in. I just cannot put my finger...

Very beautiful rifle! I have found a bit of information on this FN. A Washington, DC importer, Firearms International, began importing these rifles from Germany in 1948. All of these imports had ' Chrome Vanadium Steel ' stamped on the barrel. Your FN was manufactured in 1952, as shown on the...

Jim Watson is right. I did use the wrong number in my reply. The actual caliber, besides .32 and .380, was the 9x18mm, also known as the 9mm Ultra, or 9mm Police. I found several websites with information about the HSc. guns.com has a very interesting article on your Renato Gamba.

Your rear site shows one of the small details of the civilian/military change. A picture of the front sight and barrel, and top of breach, can help us with the identity of your rifle caliber. There are more calibers in the Peabody than just the .433 and .45/70. There is also the .43 Spanish.

It , definitely , could be due to the barrel replacement. When you said that the internal parts were ruff, this may be due to the military production for quick shipping. Please , don't shoot it without having a ' qualified ' gunsmith going over it first.

The Model 80 you speak of was chambered in 9x17mm and also .380 acp. Since the 9x17mm is very hard to find, some have fired .380acp.in it.The 9x17mm had many problems, including the chamber pressure being excessive. It was imported into the US by Interarms Alexandra, . I haven't found any...

Victory Models had U.S. Military Property stamp on left side of top strap, with more information on top of barrel. They, also, had a parkarized frame and barrel. Great idea, scrambling the serial #, but it can be easily identified if you use three of those characters, followed by xxx. Huge...
