I have a chance to possibly purchase an 1873 Springfield trapdoor marked 1881. So far I have only been provided one fuzzy picture and it looks to be a carbine. I know that several of these have been cut down or even fake. Everything looks legit from talking to the guy on the phone, but I was...

Or any V-spring Colt for that matter? Which parts are most prone to breakage and wear over time? Parts are getting more and more scarce, and I want to start collecting them while still (somewhat) available.

Thanks for the help-

I see that an auction house in the region is advertising a "Springfield 1807 Flintlock." I am sending off an e-mail to the auctioneer to try and get pictures of this item to help correctly identify it. Based on an initial perusal of Flaydermans, I suspect that this could be a Springfield...

I have seen several posts and articles about Colts new offering of the 6920 with magpul furnishing. They are supposed to be coming out with a LE6920MPG-B which has a green anodized receiver and black magpul accessories. I was curious to see a picture of what something like that would look...

I have an 01 FFL and have had several requests to send an M1 Garand to California (from my state). This question is aimed at 01 FFL's outside of California who have actually gone through the process and have shipped guns to CA- Heres my questions: 1. How much hassle is it to enroll in the...

These things sell for good money on Gunbroker when you can find them. Has anyone heard if Colt will re-introduce these? With the popularity of 1911's right now, and the costs of ammo, I would think this would have to be a good seller... I should have asked one of the Shot Show attendees...

I assume some kind of aftermarket deal??

I am working on a little side project- I am tinkering around on a single shot shotgun. I am wanting the receiver to be "in the white," polished and smooth. It has what I believe to be a true (not painted on) case hardened finish. Is there anything that would prevent me from using normal...

Just have a little side project going on, and I need the get the barrel off of this old dept store shotgun. I got the stock off, but now what? Is it the hinge pin I need to focus on? It has a slot in it, but it only turns about an 1/8th of a direction either way. Am I barking up the wrong...

If you had the choice between a Winchester with 1944/5 date, or a Springfield armory with a 1942 date, which would you choose? Other variables: Condition wise, a slight favor towards the springfield but nothing major, both are nice. Uncut oprod on springfield, but not sure on winchester...

Does anyone know where I could find a new, unused shrouded barrel, 2", blued for a Colt detective special? Yes I have checked Numrich's. They have a 3" blued, and a 2" nickel, but not a 2" blue. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

I have been offered a musket of the above description. It has the crown on the lock, and the words "Tower 1862" on it. The finish is a matte plum color. The gun appears to be unmodified, however the rear sight has come loose (although included in the sale). It is also missing the sling swivel...

Gentlemen has offered me one for sale, but he does not know what its worth. I think he would trust me on the price. I dont want to screw him, but hard to find comparables. I found one on auctionarms.com that looked like it sold for $130, but I hate to base my opinion on only one sale...

28" barrel, two ramrods, brass buttplate, one hammer, .45 caliber, walnut stock, percussion. Again, this is an over/under swivel breech. What do you think its worth? (No pictures, sorry).

Specifically I am wanting to know: 1. It is advertised as being notched so you can see your iron sights, but how easy is it going to be to see my rifled sights if I dont want to use my scope? I dont like using my scope if the deer is too close in a brushy situation. 2. Does this mount...

I'm primarily interested in knowing what are the top 5 guns that you have observed with engraving, but if you want to list your top 5 list of guns you would personally like to have engraved, that is cool to. Feel free to do more than 5, just figured anything after that point could be about...

Just got off the phone with a potential seller of an old rifle. Trying to figure out what it is, what its worth, and if its worth the half hour drive to go look at. Heres the clues he gave me: 1: Says "Harpers Ferry 1844" Also says "US" on buttlplate 2. Says it has been converted from...

Someone is advertising a matching pair of 629s in SS, one in 44 mag and on in 22LR. They want 1300 OBO for pair. Ive cant find mention of this being sold in 22 anywhere...

Gonna be selling this old Marlin here soon and trying to figure out if this front, flip up sight is correct or not. I have only seen blade type sights on other 1894s so here's my questions: 1) Is this sight correct for this gun, as in, is this factory? Vintage is about 1903 I believe. 2)...
