Those Nagant Brother Designs Got Around.....:) I love those Old Pre-WWI type revolvers. At our local Gun Show they are ridiculously priced. A couple of years ago I was making the rounds of the local gun shops I saw a rather strange looking revolver sitting in a display case. I recognized...

Prices...... Way up..... I've been keeping my eyes out for a Ruger Vaquero for the last couple of years and if you can find one (Depending upon condition) for under $500.00, snatch it up.

Mark I or Mark II I have a Mark I (1973), (center, left), a Mark II (2002)and a Ruger 22-45 Mark III. The Mark II is a better shooter than the Mark III and the Mark I is better handling. I picked her up last August and on her first outing the extractor and extractor plunger flew...

Back to the Original Post. That's a funny video. I have a Mark II and a Mark III and have disassembled both several times. Load of fun, but the Mark II is easier.

I picked up a Japanese WWII Nambu, Type 94, 8 mm pistol, this week at a local gun shop. I’ve been keeping an eye out for one for years. Very rare in LGS and at gun shows they’re way over priced. I recognized the first Kanji marks as being from an armory in Japan. Having owned an Arisaka...

The store.

I doubt I'll sell her. This little gal has found herself a home. A range buddy and I have found a new out door range out in the country and have a couple of shotguns we would like to have at it with. I'd suspect the Henry might just go along for the ride. Popping a few targets on an in door...

Not a tough decision. I’ve been at this for a few decades now and have a nice collection of antiques and modern firearms, so I have plenty of things to shoot other than the Henry Rifle, but it’s tempting. I ran into a You Tube Video with Hickok45 giving one a work out on his range. Very...

Still debating whether to shoot it or not. We shall see.:rolleyes:

I was out making the rounds of the local gun shops this afternoon. At Sportsman's Warehouse they were having a boat registration for a local fishing tournament. The place was packed, since it was a Saturday. At the front entrance a group of ladies were soliciting donations for Cancer Awareness...

For years now I have been trying to explain to self delusional gun owners who want to keep politics out of any discussion of the 2nd Amendment that the 2nd Amendment was written by politicians and can be changed by them. The Media and Politicians have been waging a war of attrition for decades...

Your Book Reference Ian It's $22.94 with shipping and handling. After watching the video and doing some research I ordered the book. It'll make a good addition to the library. Thanks

Japanese Arisaka Rifle Type 38...

Radix Net Reference That's an excellent reference for the Japanese Arisaka Rifle. I found it in one of my first Google Searches. Plus a few other places. I'd say Mukden Arsenal (Manchuria) is it. The smaller series mark to the right looks lke Series Markings for Series 5. Like WardenWolf...

I bought a Japanese Military Arisaka Rifle, Type 38 (1905) Design. It’s in reasonable shape for its age. It just needs a bit of cleaning and should be ready to roll. I get the thing home and pop off the dust cover. The Mum is of course missing. That was a 16 Petal Chrysanthemum...
