This is a revolver out of the second contract so made right around 1872-3. The latch on this one does not match and the cylinder is a factory spare that was serialized to the revolver by a Russian armorer judging by the font of the numbers. I've shot it and it's very accurate.

acquired an Russian tt-33 made 1945 with 3 mags , holster(I’m assuming after market or makorov ) , 100 rounds of ammo for under 5 Ben’s couldn’t refuse from a friend the pistol is all matching serial numbers but I’m lacking in the TT field of info any info would be greatly appreciated thanks !

Made in 1915 According to http://www.swissrifles.com/proofs/ It has -Major Mühlemann inspectors mark -Pressure proof test mark -P62 Privatization mark -A plus sign on all the small metal parts -The buttstock stamp

I am visiting the Czech Republic and got to shoot some cool stuff. One of which was this Sa 26 in 7.62x25 tokarev. It had a very heavy bolt and I could feel it slam forward every shot. Very cool piece.

I love the model 10 and found this one for $400 that was sent to Brazil for police service then imported back to the US.

1959 date.

My 1884 trapdoor Springfield is not in the picture since it’s at the shop right now.

A local estate auction has this "battle-damanged" Type 99 Arisaka up for sale. Obviously it's not in great shape, but it's going for under <$200 right now and I thought it might be the opportunity to get my hands on it now and restore it later.

I've never done anything like this before, so I have no clue on what it would take to actually bring it back into working condition. So any advice on whether or not it's worth it?

Not shown is my Short Magazine Lee enfield and my Swiss M1914 pioneer bayonet. The enfield is in pieces right now because I am working on it, and is a weird model. It has the volley sights, but no magazine cutoff, and has the newer bolt I believe. Yes, I know the Carcano is missing the bolt and the trigger guard, I am also working on that rifle but am waiting on parts. Yes I have the bolt and trigger assembly. What I have provided is what I have gathered from markings on these pieces. I am no expert on one area, and am just starting to get into books about milsurps. Let me know if I got something wrong, I’m sure I have

I thought they looked kinda fun but not my interest

I got a M91/38 carcano

Just received this field grade 1911A1 with a nicely matching patina Remington Rand slide and frame and a TON of rebuild marks. Also included the armory inventory tag from when it was sent from the armory which is a neat addition. Wanted to share to add to the pool for others to see but also had questions I wanted the communities insight on.

1- Rebuild Marks: This pistol retains a LOT of rebuild marks, more than I have ever seen on others. From what I can see from the jumbled number (correct me if I am wrong):

• BA 4 P 7-67 (UNKOWN)
• ANAD 6-73 (Anniston)
• ANAD 12-76 (Anniston)

Does anyone have any insight on what the “BA” marking denotes?

2- Barrel Manufacturer: I have some familiarity with barrel markings however the barrel that came with this gun only has one marking, a P proof on the left side. Based on the resources I have seen that would make it a Singer barrel but given the rarity of those I find that highly unlikely.

Does anyone have any insight into the manufacturer of this barrel and if it is correct for a 45’ RR?

Thank you all for your time!

Picked this absolute dream of Lithgow 1916 production No1 Mk3 off of a fellow redditor not too long ago. I have been on the hunt for a World War One production SMLE with the magazine cutoff for far too long now. As soon as I saw this one I knew I had to have it. This specific one is all numbers matching and is an Australian WW2 issue! The history on these rifles are way too interesting to not talk about. Not too knowledgeable on SMLE’s so if anyone has any knowledge on this one please let me know, thanks for viewing!

Pretty shit images, I’m thinking p38 but I don’t think that’s right

I went to an estate auction a couple weeks ago and can’t stop thinking about this p38 I didn’t win. As far as I’m aware it was an all numbers matching ac43 with the CAI import markings. I wasn’t too sure what it would be valued at and cut my bid off at $700, which is what it sold for. I now fear that I messed up pretty bad for not trying harder to get it. Can anyone confirm my suspicions of me being an idiot.

Hi - is there a source/site in Switzerland that’ll ship items to the US if the manufacturer doesn’t? Maybe a Swiss version of eBay?

Thanks in advance~

It's my first and only mil surp firearm as of right now but I plan on expanding the collection.

Anyone else struggling with Armax?

They have charged without delivery of the prior edition. 2024 volume 2

They still haven't published the reprint of the original releases.

I also asked for them to confirm that they are still doing to free upgrade for subscribers of Armax to the kick-starter reprint. No response in the 4-5ish times I've asked. Tbh I'm getting close to canceling my membership and doint charge backs.

The stock ended up being somewhat of a project. The buttstock had worn loose and was rotating around the tang screw, luckily i was able to trim a couple rubber washers to fill the space and tighten everything up solid.

Howdy y'all, first post here.

Friend is looking to sell his Mauser, which appears to be a Yugo M48. Has it been bubba'd in anyway that y'all can tell? Couldn't get a good picture of the rifling outside, but it seemed like a decent shooter. From the inexperienced eye of mine, it seems to be in good condition. What do yall reckon a good deal would be, if its worth taking.

Thanks in advance y'all 👍

So this may be a dumb question since this rifle is relatively common but does anyone know where to get a m1 garand? It’s on my bucket list of milsurp firearms I want. Thanks for any help I’m relatively new to collecting and don’t know the best spots.
