> tfw when you antique 10 gauge shotgun turn out to be a 6 gauge one
post you oldest gun ITT
My M39 has an undated Chatellerault receiver, so it's at least 121 years old.
I've got a hard on for black powder 2 bores and 4 bores.
Should i get a pedersoli Howda 20×20 for 549
>>30054655
I know its a repro and not antique but fuggit
>>30054655
they are sexy as fuck
probably the only way to get a sbs without any stamps
It is impossible to get brass shells for 8, 6, etc gauge shotguns. A shame.
>>30054589
Either the Martini henry made in 1881 or the Gew. 71/84
>you can see them in the right corner.
Italian Bodeo dated for 1897.
Sporterized US Springfield Model 1896 Krag-Jorgensen made in FY1898.
My M1871 Infantrie Gewher. Dated 1883 and was repaired in 1884 and stamped but not converted.
>>30055003
yeah, I´m looking for atleast 30 shells of 6 gauge, prefered in brass
I probably have to make them myself
>>30055163
I´ll use this video as a guide

What's up with your Enfield mag?
>>30055299
It's an Ishapore 2A. It's an Indian Enfield variant and the magazine has a square shape because it's in 7.62 NATO and holds 12 rounds.
The barrel on this is dated to 1891, so I'm guessing the receiver is the same.

And now I'm just praying that the new Battlefield is shit and no one buys it so WW1 surplus doesn't bump in price.

He cut up the furniture, but She's back in full wood now. It's not original wood, so I'm gonna re-stain it this summer.
>>30055436
where did you get those grips, my buddy has one of those and he has had to fill in some broken grips with modeling puddy.
>>30055460
My great grandfather put them on when he bought it, or so I assume. They've been on there for at least 60+ years.
I got a Springfield M1884 trapdoor rifle, It's dated 1892, but I have a feeling the double barrels are older, but they're not dated besides the patent date.
I have my great-grandpop's 1880's C.G. Bonehill double barrel 10ga
french Mle 1873 revolver in 11mm, ammo is made from .44 mag and .44 russian cases
>>30055665
manufacture date of 1877
>>30055003
For shotguns, it's not all that hard to make your own ammo from scratch. A lot of shotgun shells use to be made of cardboard n' shit and most of today's round are mostly made of plastic. It probably wouldn't be too hard to make your own.

I need a side by side shotgun. Know of any modern stuff that's good? I've been eyeing the CZ hammer coach.
oldest gun is a '43 mosin 91/30
nopics because you should know what a mosin looks like
>>30055690
You'd still have to make the base, which would be a bit trickier.
>>30055705
With sufficient money, you will find many good modern shotguns. But on the lower end of the price range, the CZ is okay. The Baikal SxS are okay as well but you'll have to work on them to smooth them up. A decent used gun would be a good option.

6 come up at auction very rarely.
oh and my oldest is probably my kentucky long rifle, my matchlock may be older but i'm not 100% sure it isn't a later example.
>>30054589
No pictures of it but I have a 1850 Springfield Smoothbore that I need to get up on the wall.
>>30055873

>>30054615
Where did you get that bayonet?
>>30055904
>>30054589
But will it fire? No balls if you dont try!
>>30055873
This is good news, because there's a Parker 8 gauge in the family (somewhere) and I need shells.
My Remington Old Army, made in 1862 or '63 ish.
My second oldest, a Snider Enfield MkIII short rifle. Made in 1872
MkIV Martini Henry, made in 1888

1916 SMLE No I Mk III*
No pic cause on phone at work.
>>30056567
I'm sorry, so what's wrong with getting beat up wood, sanding and re-staining it for a rifle that obviously has lost any possible "originality" value? At that point, it's just visual.
Love break actions

I have a 12g Chicago Long Range Wonder that I got for $120. It was made sometime between 1903 and 1905 so it is around 110 years old. I repaired the damaged stock with brass screws, a nail and wood glue. Loading my own black powder loads for it using brass shells, but have yet to test fire anything more then a 25 grain powder blank.

1918 Remington M91, likely a Spanish Civil War rifle. 98 Years old and still shoots like a champ. Was out shooting some old fudd and his hunting rifle at 100 yards with this gun.
>>30057479
1917 BSA No. 1 Mk. 3*
99 years old, I should throw it a 100 year birthday party next year.
>>30057497
1918 Swiss Schmidt Rubin model 1911. I went to the show for a K31, and I couldn't put this back down after I held it the first time. Refurbished in 1931 and P marked for 1945.

What's the easiest to find/cheapest wwI or WWII kraut bayonet?
>>30054589
Please hire a hooker and stick the barrel up her arse. Post pix.
>>30055690
I'd imagine you could use a dowel of the right size to roll the cardboard case to size
Maybe cut the base out with scissors and attatch to the case, and put something like a percussion Cap or cap gun cap in the center,
Load the shell like you would reload a paper shell normally

And they are sexy abominations
Does anyone here own any Mauser pistols?
Are they any good?
>>30062035
C96's?
They're excellent firearms considering their age.
Buy one the first chance you get my man.
>>30056051
Bought it from a Finn on Ebay.
>>30056635
I used DP stock parts for my former sporterized no1 mk3 and it turned out just fine. I opted to bleach the beech stock set and it looks nice.

Asking here too.
What's an Arisaka worth?
What's the differences between the Type 38 and 99, besides caliber?
>>30062452
100- 300 depending on who is buying. Impossible to find ammo and nazis didn't use it so most WW2 collectors don't care for them so the rifles are rather cheap.
>>30062452
lots of factors to the price, condition, mum or ground, extra bits like dust cover or monopod, early or last ditch.
also depends on the knowledge of the buyer and the seller, a seller with no knowledge of grandpas bring back might part with it for $100 but it would actually be worth around $250-400
>>30062452
if you want something for shooting - go with the 99
if you want something for history - go with the 38

for more information
Not the oldest one I have. This is just the only one I have a picture of on my phone at the moment.
>>30064519
Also, forgot to ask, how much would this rifle be worth? I am guessing more than I paid for it.
Here is the only other pic of it I have on my phone.
>>30062035
I have had 2 Mauser. One was a 7.63. The other a Red 9. They are nice. I sold both of mine though. I didn't want to but desperate times. I did, atleast, sell them to good friends that collect firearms like I do.
So, yes, get one if you can.
>>30064540
If it's in good condition, probably $200 since it's a Remington. Regular Mosin Nagants are worth less than $150, unless things have changed.
>>30064605
this thing looks like a Dragoon updated to 91/30 specs
so it may be worth more then 200 bucks
>>30064605
Yeah... things have changed Anon. Regular ww2 era mosins are going for 250-300 these days. Gun broker has 3 Remington mosins for 550-700. At the last gun show I was at i saw someone offering to buy a Remington mosin for 450. And that was a vendor, so I would guess he would sell it for more than that because he wants to make money too.
I would very much like a c96 but for now my antique is this from 1909.
my grandfather's colt pistols 1830-1850 pretty sure one's a walker the other one is a dragoon, the walker works fine all matching part numbers, the dragoon needs a screw, I haven't put much effort into dating them because I have only seen them once in a while. my grandfather is in hospice with bone cancer so I'll be inheriting these since my other family members are nogunz. I'll never sell these I also have a wards of westingfield 12 gauge pump looks bad ass with all the oxidation and surface wear on the corners
>>30064631
No, it is an all original Remington M91. All matching numbers. No import marks or anything like that. It is still in great condition too. My shitty phone camera doesn't do it justice. But there are no rust spots. Not pitting in the barrel. The rifling is still very nice. Honestly...i haven't seen a mosin in this good of condition before. And I own 10 and have done work on many many more. My other (favorite) one is a BFPU PU sniper all original matching with no import marks. Got it for $200. Got the Remington for $150 (a few days ago)

Almost every source of people doing business with him is negative.
Google it.
Almost ordered some .455 Mk.II from him, but then I decided to research and generally the transaction ends in a chargeback.

>>30064660
what you have there is an 1851 navy (left) and an 1861 Army (right)
>>30064977
Not the same Anon but....i signed up for GB and ran into the same problem. They also wanted a copy of my ID and bank statement. So I just said fuck it. I just get my lgs buddy to order whatever I want for me. Don't even have to pay transfer fees.
>>30065033
correction 1860 Army, the 1861 is an updated navy .36
>>30064977
>>30065035
all depends on what email you use, if it is a noncommercial account like a .edu or .mil email it tends to be quick but if you use a commercial email like gmail or yahoo they want the extra BS verification and they want you to pay $1
>>30065070
Eh, I used a gmail disposable email and only had to do the $1 payment with nothing fancy.
I have access to a .edu account. Wonder what'd happen if I used that...
>>30065080
I used mine just fine. Bretty nice to avoid the dollar fee but I think that there might be something in the long ass terms of service that could get you into trouble if they found out.
1917 Lithgow, oldest one I got. Used to have a k98 built off of a 1916 g98, but sold it
>>30064540
I have the same year and make, and I paid $400 three years ago. Its easily over $500 by today's prices, whether or not people agree (the who pays $500 for a mosin crowd).
>>30068176
Forgot pic
>>30055038
I want that gun
An old cooey mohawk 22. Don't see a date anywhere on it
Has some damage that I'd need to fix up - some cracks in the stock and might benefit from getting reblued. it's certainly not an expensive rifle from what I've found, most people buying or selling them for like $50-100 cad
>>30057518
love me some straight pull
