90% rifle with corroded inner barrel, 1942 Canadian made Enfield, Would you? (A) rebarrel? if so jungle carbine it up, modify etc. into what interesting project? Don't have the nerve to sock alot of money and time into it. (B) rebarrel as original as possible? being rebarreled reduces value alot I would think. No Idea the process and expense but would be neat to have a fresh 303 Enfield (C) keep it stock for historical reasons to look at and fondle lol....Would look nice in a WWII Museum (D) Part it out? not sure that's a thing and time consuming. Option C is not for me that's why I have it in the classifieds but am starting to consider A, B and D

I picked up Friday. I found it at the flea market between Manchester and Tullahoma. Fred's booth is a lot of fun. not sure about the US Revolver but the two silver badges appear to be authentic Pinkerton as does the brass New York Central Railway Police badge. There are three large and three small Pinkerton uniform buttons and the box of 38 S&W holds 48 rounds, Of course the "Golden Spike" is just painted. The revolver is functional aside from the ejector. Finish is non-existent and there is much pitting. I will test fire it when I find a box of ammo but this will be a display piece. Just wish I had documentation on the history of what appears to be an authentic retired railroad detective's service memento. If you know this to be a fraud,,,don't tell me

Walther Kriegsmarine SL single barrel flare pistol 1940 I saw this for sale on a local classifides. Cool looking gun. Anyone know anything first hand? In case you are interested. I have nothing to do with the sale or seller. https://theeclassifieds.com/Home/ViewListing/5e0b71d0-73ea-4e84-b7c1-a92500fe1498

I have been watching around kind of wanting to pick up a good deal on a Mosin Nagant. I was not looking for rarity or a matching number collector gem, just one that goes bang consistently and 1/2 way accurately. I was having no luck locally so I kept my eye out online. I didn't really need it, so I was not going to overpay for it. A little bit back I ran across one on Gunbroker that was on the low end and had a few days. It was not original and it looked like our friend Bubba had had his way with it. So I threw on a bid figuring I would get out bid. To my shock, I didn't. So at the end I saw it close at $155. I figured at least I could move the barreled receiver to a good stock. It finally came in a couple days ago. It was better than I expected. It has been transplanted to a Monte Carlo stock. Looks like a good job. But Bubba decided that a black stock required a tacticool rail. So a rail is mounted in place of the rear sight. I quickly hit eBay and have a rear sight on the way for $3. Looks like the pin was replaced with a bolt in the same diameter, so hopefully it is just a drop in swap. The bayonet is fully functional. I ran a few rounds through it for a function check and it seem to work well. I found that since I grew up hunting with a .303 Enfield that this was like an old friend aside from the loading. I need to get some stripper clips to help that long. No wonder people love these. They are simple, functional, and fun. My only change would be is that I wish this was the Archangel stock that has removable mags. That is where I like the Enfield better, but I hear mixed reviews on the mags for the Mosin. So here it is in all its glory ( cue the horrified, moaning collectors lol). I Notice now that I did not get the end of the barrel and sight in this shot, but is is there.

Is there any one or place locally who does Luger appraisals? I have had one for a number of years and due to several recent surgeries, I may be forced to sell it. It is a Mauser Banner dated 1942. Everything matches with the exception of the magazine. It is in very good condition (barely a little pitting, no rust) and I have the original hard holster with which it was issued. I have no paper work on it, but it was liberated from a Czech POW in 1942. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to help a friend determine the value of a 1873 US Springfield 45-70 Trap Door rifle with bayonet. Can anyone on the board enlighten me as how to best go about this? The rifle will be listed for sale once the value can be determined.

This is a Husqvarna m1907 Swedish Military / m07 Civilian Pistol - chambered in .380 ACP Based on Browning "No. 2" design, or the FN Model 1903, this pre-1911 style pistol was produced by Husqvarna in Sweden after Germany occupied Belgium and cut off Sweden's supply. Browning also licensed his No.2 design to Colt, which resulted in the production of the Colt Pocket Hammerless pistols in both .32 & .38 ACP. This little beauty is a civilian model I believe . . . . . . Enjoy . . . . .
