  1. The Military Mauser Forum
    Greetings all, I recently bought a Colombian FN Mauser chambered in 30-06, I would appreciate any assistance or guidance in trying to ID this rifle further. I have done some research on the different models and I always hit a dead end as the features of my rifle match similar models. I loaded a...
  2. Military Handgun Forum
    I have a 1930's C96 that when I cock it by hand or fire it sometimes it doesn't stay cocked and the hammer falls again without firing. Upon further inspection sometimes the bolt does not force the hammer down far enough to cock the firearm. Any idea as to what to do to fix this?
  3. "The American Arsenal" US Weapons - Past & Present
    Does anyone know someone who could make a custom screw? I need a fore-end screwed pin for my stock. Edit: not trying to fix a crack, the stock is brand new, only things I’ve done is oil it and put the buttplate on.
  4. Militaria-Swords-Bayonets- Edged Weapons Forum
    Hey gang, You've already seen a few of my bayonets which are in need of some proper love and preservation, along with a couple of new additions here that I'll post about later. Let it be known that I am aware that the goal is to preserve the bayonets in their current condition, not to make them...
  5. Swiss Weapons Forum
    Hello all, i just recently joined this forum because of a peculiar gun i have acquired. It's an all original numbers matching Swiss Model 1889 (Made in 1893) with even the original muzzle guard and mag retainer clip in place. I know ammo has not been produced commercially since the 1920s and...

  8. Armor, APC, Artillery, Anti Tank, Mortar, Warplane
    This was included in an auction lot I recently purchased. All that was said in the listing was that it was a WWI German shell carry case which appears to be true but I'm just curious if anyone can give me any specifics on it. I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Thanks!
  9. Militaria-Swords-Bayonets- Edged Weapons Forum
    So I purchased this thinking it was some type of M1855 bayonet but upon further inspection I believe it to be a Turkish Peabody bayonet although the scabbard looks a bit different from other I've looked up. Would you agree? Both the bayonet and scabbard seem to be void of any markings. I'd...
  10. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    Going to pick up this Type 94 and holster tomorrow. Does the finish look original on it? I'm not completely sure. It's a Series 20.1. Also does the original holster look alright? I'd greatly appreciate any and all help. Thanks!

  15. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    Hi yall! So I've decided I want to have my good luck flags framed in order to both display and better preserve them. I've been searching for someone who specializes in framing militaria displays but the only ones I've found are actual museum conservators who want a whole mortgage payment to do a...

    Hi yall! Does anyone have any idea how to disassemble this type of Walman pistol? The recoil spring is jammed up in it which is one problem and the other being I can't for the life of me figure out how to take the slide off. Incredibly frustrating haha. Any help would be most appreciated!!!

    Hi yall! Just received this good luck flag in the mail and was wondering if someone could help with translating the kanji and maybe if someone knows of which shrine the stamp came from. I'd appreciate any and all help!!
  19. The Lee-Enfield Forum
    Hey guys, I just won an auction for a rifle that caught my eye, and perhaps a bit of my imagination too... It's a No.4 that has much fewer markings than I'm used to seeing on British guns. The only markings I see on the receiver's butt socket are on the left side. There's just a "1942" on one...
  20. Martini Henry Forum
    I received an untouched Gahendra in parts from the estate of a dear friend. I have reassembled, cleaned, and conserved the metal, but I'm left unsure of how to continue with the wood furniture. I've previously sprayed it a couple of times with Krud Kutter; and though it seems to take some of the...
