    Help on barrel stamp.

    If it is the same stamp, it is a Danish Fredrik V stamp and Capt Jas is correct on the time periode. It must then be from fairly early in the period and probably looked something like this: Danish/Norwegian M1746 Trond

    Help on barrel stamp.

    The stamp on the barrel tells me nothing. It does not look very Danish, but if it is, it probably is older than 1730 as it seems to have iron mountings. I need to see the side plate etc. Trond

    Probably a swedish flintlock rifle.

    I might have measured wrong - or it might be a pistol lock. Here are a couple of M1772s and M1740s. The locks are very like the musket locks: Again, the more I see/think about this gun, the more I'm getting pretty certain that it is way less than 100 years old - and really rather...

    Displaying long-guns

    This might help explaining my space problem, I have "a load" of long-guns - and a wife: You can see more of my collection at Norwegian Military Small-Arms. Trond

    Displaying long-guns

    I have actually ordered 500 more magnets now... Take look at my website, it will eventually present most of the core collection. Norwegian Military Small-arms 1604-WW2 Trond

    Probably a swedish flintlock rifle.

    There was little light wen I measured, but the lock plates seem to be 17-18 cm long. Trond

    Displaying long-guns

    I got them from Magnetsfabriken in Sweden, but they were fairly expensive unless one orders at least 500. I ordered 150 the first time and they then cost about USD 6 each delivered in Norway. There probably at less expensive sources in the US.

    Displaying long-guns

    Things are different in different countries. Military percussion breech loaders are fairly common in Norway: The Kongsberg VÃ¥penfabrikk's production of civilian versions (with iron instead of brass mountings) are somewhat more scarce: And the Larsen produced ones - well, they are few and...

    Hi from Norway

    Well, I have been "at it" for some 50 years and even with only 4-5 "new" guns and a couple of swords a year, things do accumulate... The interest of today is mainly getting the next few generations to understand that Waffen-Amt stamping really is of little interest compared to the cultural and...

    Displaying long-guns

    I have a fairly substantial collection of long-guns and have for years tried to find the most efficient and safest way of displaying them. Magnets! I managed to get hold of some very powerful magnets baked into rubber. The magnet holds 20 + kg on a round barrel and should even make the...

    Probably a swedish flintlock rifle.

    The first lock is from a M1774, the second from a M1791. My guess is that the lock is from the end of that period due to the size of the screws - and that it probably is Danish. The Danes usually used beech, as this seems to be birch, it most probably is a Norwegian or Swedish gun, I would...

    Probably a swedish flintlock rifle.

    I agree that the dog catch mainly was a military feature in Sweden, but the lock seems fairly obviously to be a military lock. Through my 50 years of collecting, I can not remember ever to have seen a civilian lock marked like this. With one exception the lock is remarkably like the Kronborg...

    Hi from Norway

    I'm not actually a new member, but I have hardly participated here the last five years. I'm a Norwegian collector of DkN & Norwegian military arms + of long-guns from a Norwegian gunsmith Hans Larsen who was a very creative guy and worked as gunsmith from 1848-1897 - the whole transition period...

    Probably a swedish flintlock rifle.

    I'm just wondering... The lock looks very military from the 1750's & onwards - and due to the lacking dog catch, probably not Swedish. The barrel's ring at the muzzle would indicate that this is a civilian barrel, but the ring could have been added later. The stock is most definitely not carved...

    Swedish guns

    I positivly know that the above mentioned rifle no way was made at Flesberg, Nummedal, Norway. This is a little place in the middle of nowhere and has never had a recorded gunsmith! I do, however, have a couple of rifles with this triggerguard. The first one is a wheel lock signed a gunsmith...
