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 stamped on...

This is a Leinad –Cobray-FMJ .45 Long Colt/.410 Derringer. It’s 7” in total length, with a 3 3/4” Double Barreled length. She’ll also fire a .410 gauge, 3” shotgun round. She’s marked as being made by Leinad Inc. in Ducktown, Tennessee. Model DD CAL 45. You’ll have to excuse the name but...

It’s a rainy day in South Carolina, with over cast skies in between and a bit dreary. So it’s off to the indoor gun range. I packed up the Kimber Custom Shop, Super Cary PRO, 1911, .45 ACP. When I got to the range I bought an extra magazine for the .45 caliber. I ran 50 rounds of Atlanta Arms...

I ran into this one today. A Harrington & Richardson. On the left side on the barrel, it says “Model 925” followed by” 38 S&W”. On the frame, beneath the cylinder is stamped “H&R INC U.S.A”. This is a scanned image of the left side. Something new I’m trying versus photos. On the right side...

I just added an Iver Johnson Safety Automatic to my collection.. I bought it as an antique made prior to 1899. From my research I figure she is a second model, smokeless black powder. With a double top post barrel latch, flat leaf hammer spring and two cross pins in the lower frame...

I just acquired this Guardian Model of 1878 made by Clement & Fagnus Co. 9mm. I know what a Lefaueux Style looks like. LeFaucheux was a French arquebusier who invented the pin fire ignition system. I've done some reading on pin fires and appreciate their history and development. It's in...

Big Brown (UPS) just delivered a second Mendi Replica of a later 17th Century Dueling pistol. I have the top one since June and bought the second on Gun Broker. These are .36 cal and this one looks like she has been on duty as a wall hanger for some time. She's got a little bit of surface rust...

:) No DOC it's not for sale. The mailman delivered my recently purchased Pietta 1858 Remington, 44 Cal stainless today. Of course I cut open the box and there she was. This baby was listed as unfired. I haven't got the time to open her up yet but I can see manufacturers grease under the...

This is a picture of a Mendi Replica Spanish Pistol. She has a 10 inch barrel and is .36 Cal. Mendi of course went out of business years ago. I was told when I bought her recently that she took a #11 Cap and uses a .380 round lead ball. Recently I was told that she needs a .350 ball, with a...

I just got a Uberti Replica of an 1851 Colt Navy Revolver, ,36 Cal. I read the instructions and decided to take it apart and clean the factory grease out. I suspect they want you to do the following. 1. Remove the wedge. (Mine had the spring, something they neglected to mention). 2. Take the...
