I had an opportunity to grab a jungle carbine at a great price recently and I snatched it up... My Dad always traded on guns and one of my chores growing up in the 1960s was to clean them. One of the rifles he had that I fell in love with the looks of was an Enfield jungle carbine and I traded...

I have a FN Browning 1922 and on the left side of the trigger guard it has MR and on the left slide it has (H) Does anyone have any information on what that means, and the possibly the years it was used? Jim

My latest acquisition arrived in the mail today...a clean little Remington model 51 and from what I have found, the serial seems to date it about 1927 which I believe was toward the end of production (604XX). A disassembly and cleaning revealed a surprising lack of battering and wear and the...

I just bought a 1922 with matching numbers, walnut grips and WWII markings... WaA140 and eagle on the frame and slide as well as a six digit serial (206XXX) on the external and internal parts. I have found some info about it where that talk about the early and then later guns with 5 digits +...

I found a good deal on an Indian Enfield that had been converted to a jungle carbine. The gun was made in 1966 and the guy that sold it to me thought it was an arsenal conversion, though I thought that the importers were primarily the source of the conversions I have had an Eddystone, as well...

I picked up a nice little Greener Cadet rifle the other day... At some point someone modified a 03 Springfield buttstock and added it to my rifle, but I also got an original Cadet buttstock with the weapon. It is nice and tight and fires fine. I already had some 32-20 ammo, brass and dies so I...

For some reason, I have been seriously thinking about getting a Rock Island 1911 chambered in 38 super...and I really don't know why, but the thought of a 1911 in 38 super has been intriguing to me, though. I have owned tons of guns, but I have never owned anything in 38 super, even though I...

A few weeks ago, I was thinking about firearms I used to have and I recalled having an Israeli version of the Beretta Brigadier about thirty years ago and I started missing having one...so the other day, I ran across this mis-matched M951 Beretta and picked it up, and the more I look at it, the...

I recently picked up a Mauser C96 Broomhandle to add to my small collection of historical weapons. This C96 was made between 1911 and 1915 and a former owner had it refinished and reblued. The bore is matte and about 40%, which was surprising because of the good deal I got on this weapon. A...

Last evening I started looking for large pistol primers (a year too late) and I was very pleased to find a retailer that had some at a decent price. The retailer required a minimum purchase of $250, but with primers and powder available, I was OK with that. One thing odd I noticed was they only...
