  1. Any description of that photo? If I had to speculate, I'd say West Point or similar cadets. Blue jacket guy would be an instructor. Colt model 1895 Machine guns (Potato Digger). John Browning design, of course!
  2. I found a few deals: 14 rounds of original .455 Webley Automatic ammo, a spare Lewis Gun bolt for .30-06 (Rare!), and a nice MP41 mag.
  3. Savage 1907 in .32 and .380. "Ten shots quick!" with endorsements from "Wild Bill' Cody and Bat Masterson. First double-column detachable magazine, and striker fired. Extremely reliable if you remember that early .32acp, especially European ammo, was hotter than modern SAAMI spec. Also endorse the original Remington 51 .380. A favorite of Gen George Patton and others. Very ergonomic! Finally, Star PD buffers are still available here: 10 buffers for $44.95 Made & sold by: Jim Dawg 5zero3-59one-51five9 E-mail & PayPal address: bigdawgguns (at) comcast (dot) net
  4. Poland? Dude in the middle back row has a French MAS38 SMG. How the heck would that have gotten to Poland? Arm bands look a lot like they might be FFI.

  6. American doughboys with French M1916 37mm infantry gun. Rotating breech, single shot, HE projectile for destroying Maxim gun nests.
  7. Took some searching. "Cattle Annie and Little Britches" - 1980 Winchester 1892 and Colt SAA
  8. Probably from a video game. Obviously a fake gun.
  9. Holy Moly! Those legs go all the way UP!!!
  10. You may be thinking of .400 CorBon. It's a .45acp case necked down to .40. Pretty near to 10mm in energy figures. Easy to handload if you have dies. Conversion barrels used to be available for 1911s in several lengths, Glock 21, EAA Witness, and others.
  11. Remington Model 8. But look! Original stripper clips on the back seat! Those are scarce as hen's teeth these days!!
  12. There are replacement barrels that can be had. Even original Long Branch barrels have show up. If you go that route, I would send it to a professional with experience with re-barreling SMLEs. Not a job for Bubba unless you want to risk a twisted receiver. You might look for some 8mm bore brushes. The SMLE has a .311 bore, not .308. So, normal .30 brushes sometimes don't do a good job of cleaning out gunk in SMLE and 98K bores. You might also try some bore paste. I've seen barrels I thought were hopeless turn out OK after an extremely thorough cleaning.
  13. That looks like a Winchester '73. She's got the trigger held back and her thumb ready to pull back and release the hammer. So, I would not want to be in front of the muzzle! Don't know the movie or actress. (but, YES, seriously hot!)
  14. Kneepads look correct. MG42 is unloaded with soldiers finger on trigger. That seems staged. The front two guys also look a bit too old for fallschirmjagers. Plus the third guy is about to shoot his buddy in the back with that MP40. MP40 sling is on the wrong side of the gun.
  15. Overall best .357 revolver: Original, pre-1980, Colt Python 4". Best trigger and balance: Pre-lock S&W Model 19 (Tend to get loose with a steady load of heavy .357 use. Under-rated: Colt MKIII Trooper. Not a Python, but pretty darn close! Best currently available new manufacture: Colt Python. Ruger certainly builds a durable revolver. Overweight and triggers are just OK. I won't touch a trigger lock S&W.
  16. That's quite a collection!! MP44, Beretta 38, Hakim 8mm, Spanish M43 8mm, Czech VZ52, US M14, maybe a MAS 49/56 in the far right?
  17. Portuguese paratroopers with original AR10s.
  18. Nashville: General Jackson river boat and dinner show Grand Ol' Opry at Opry Mills, Tuesday and Saturday nights. Get tickets early. Many clubs and restaurants on Broadway, most with live music.
  19. The new ones are VERY nice and work properly and reliably. I have an older one. Original magazines don't work well. New magazines 'might' work in an original pistol. I have to do some light filing to get a new mag to work in my pistol. Now, it works perfectly! Get a mag loader. Your thumbs will thank you! Factory ammo is available, but expensive. (What ammo isn't these days?!) If you reload, you can cut down GI .308 cases and load up your own ammo. If you buy the Pasadena gun, get a set of new springs. They are a lot of fun and always attract attention at the range.

    9.3x62

    I almost bought a Mauser in 9.3x62mm. At the last minute, a guy offered me a .416 Rigby on a custom Enfield action. I bought the .416 instead. That was back in the days when I actually thought I might be able to go hunting in Africa. IIRC, 9.3mm uses .375 bullets, so reloading shouldn't be too difficult. The cartridge is very popular in Europe and Africa, so brass and dies should be available. Over there, they think that it is suitable for lions and other thin-skinned dangerous game. I wouldn't try it out on heffalumps or cape buffalo, though!
  21. IT is most likely going to fail in the Senate. But, never underestimate the ability of the Republicans to do something stupid. And never underestimate the ability of the Democrats to threaten wheedle, cajole, and blackmail to get their way. If that weren't the case, there would not have been ANY bills passed since Biden took office. If this bill passes, I predict massive non-compliance. But then that's the goal. If they can threaten us with jail, they think it will make us more pliable.
  22. I still like .30-06, .308, and 6.5Grendel for any rifle shooting out to 800 yards. I haven't had much occasion to shoot further than that.
  23. Except for the ones with cast iron receivers.
