      Steamer for converting rust

      Got it built. I can take it apart for storage. I have a deep fryer to boil small parts. Picked up a couple more cheap rusty shotguns for practice.

      WTB: Any old maybe rusty gun that you might have laying around

      Looking to practice bringing them back to life if not too far gone. Don’t want to spend much. Shoot me a conversation with a picture if you have one you want to let go.

      Margolin MCM Target Pistol valuation

      Still working through cataloging my collection for my records and valuation for insurance. I picked up a boxed Margolin 22lr at the Hammond Cabela‘s years ago and pulled it out to add to the catalog. It is the basic one without the weight attachments but it did come with a bag of parts, hammer...

      WTB: I need a couple of large brass shells for scraping.

      In Indy. 50BMG would be perfect but any large brass would do. I need at least 2.

      Got my Simon North M1819 apart today

      A percussion conversion. More of a work of art back then. Look at the tail on that breech plug! Plenty of rust. Had trouble getting the trigger guard off until I realized the trigger is held in with a very thin metal rod through the stock. The lock will be soaked with Kroil for awhile...

      The state of my Enfield 1853

      This is the rifle of that era that I have that is in the worst shape. Pics below. 1. The lock is missing. I found a Tower 1862 original lock that’s ’in the mail’. 2. In the empty lock picture the crack in the stock will have to be dealt with. 3. I think someone put the barrel in a steel...

      Bought on this forum years ago, Civil War rifles

      I bought 4 Civil War rifles from someone that had them, if I remember correctly, in someone’s attic. All in various states of repair. I am finally going to start conserving them. Robinson contract m1861 - sheet metal bands need replacing. Missing ramrod. This one is in good enough condition...

      One of my holy grails, a Luger

      When I was a little kid my uncle showed me how to field strip one he had brought back from WWII. I have wanted one ever since. I ran across this today and had to have it. A matching 1916 DWM Luger with the exception of the 2 magazines which is common. Everything is correct including the...

      Anyone have a Mosin Nagant 91/38?

      Not the usual M38 but a re-worked M91 to the M38 style. They have hex receivers. Mine is an Isvevsk 1906 receiver. I was curious and looked at it again and it is a parts matching gun with an unobtrusive import mark near the end of the barrel. The bolt is the pre 1938 single milled type 1...

      Why are lever guns so attractive?

      Not because they are faster or better but they are just more appealing. Maybe it’s because I was raised watching The Rifleman and westerns as a kid. Guns are simple machines and lever guns have an aesthetic that makes beautiful form of the function. I am not rolling in dough so I picked up a...

      Been jonesing for a Winchester 94 in 30-30

      I have not seen them around and the new ones are hard to score. Stopped in a local gun store and they had 3! A brand new 24”. A post 64 pre mid 70’s and a post mid 70’s 20”. I picked up the post mid 70’s one. It is a 1980. Of course the sintered metal receiver so has the typical failing...

      Working on a late 1800’s shotgun

      Some years ago I picked up this C.S. Shattuck American Side Snap 12 ga shotgun. All the springs were either broken, rusted, or missing. Someone left a note under the butt plate saying basically he had only oiled the stock. The stock is in poor shape too. Lots of cracks and this cute little...

      WTB: 32 Colt ammo, not 32 S&W

      Looking for ammo or brass. I have a 1914 Police Positive that takes 32 Colt short or long. Not the same as 32 S&W.

      New P365XL and already $$$$

      Picked up a new one and really like the way it feels and carries. Yet to shoot it. Going to friends sometime soon to put at least 50 rounds of target through it. So far have spent more on it than the price of the gun. Holosun EPS green 2 MOA and circle, hogue grip, extended mag release...

      Is anyone actually selling Mosin rifles for $450 plus?

      I see the ordinary rifles selling for around $300 or so but $450 plus seems high to me. I do have a Remington that never left the US and not military marked that probably would sell for those prices. Any experience getting those prices?

      I bought a new gun, sort of. Pre-Civil war guns.

      Found in a garage cleanup I was asked to identify this pistol. I bought it off the guy just because. Needs some work but I believe it could be fired, not that I will. Missing the ramrod. Simeon North Model 1819 flintlock converted to percussion. Dated 1822. North made 20,400 on contract...

      Rossi 720 44 Special

      Best I can tell depending on the load a 44 Special is fairly equivalent to a 45 ACP. I picked this up some years ago and recently actually fired it. I was surprised how well it shot and how accurate I was with it. It is my current between the mattress defense gun. I really like it. The...
