    SOLD ----SPF--- Brass Barreled Blunderbuss Pistol with Spring Bayonet

    Since everyone has a different opinion as to what is adequate spark I made a longer clip so hopefully you can make your own decision if it is satisfactory.

    SOLD ----SPF--- Brass Barreled Blunderbuss Pistol with Spring Bayonet

    Reduced to $275 and I will still pay shipping to lower 48. Indian made. Everything works as it should, Bayonet snaps out with authority and lock nicely/ solidly into place, Good spark if you decide to shoot it. I never shot it but previous owner did. Blade looks to me that they used the tip of...

    SOLD Sold pending payment - Pietta Starr Single Action Revolver

    I bought this from a estate so I don't know the history of it. Because of that I am putting up lots of pictures so you a decide for yourself as to condition, but to me it looks like it was fired very little, if even at all. Overall I would call it excellent condition. Please disregard any oil...

    looking for info on A.W. Spies .40 cal

    No I haven't disassembled any part of the rifle yet. I will do that soon and report back if I find anymore markings or damage. Thanks to all for all the info so far provided. Correct me if wrong, It's style would be called a Ohio gun and is 1840's vintage? Thanks

    looking for info on A.W. Spies .40 cal

    Researched some on Spies and I think he was just the importer/supplier of the lock. Not sure if it was made by his company. I would like some info as to age, style of rifle, possible maker etc. Would it be called a half stock, or Ohio gun or plains? I just got this rifle at a local auction so...

    My small originals collection.... M-1842 Harper Ferry, 1849 Colt and 2 1860 Colts

    Sadly don't have much history at all on these guns. I picked them all up locally, almost by accident and with out much of a cash outlay IMO. The Harpers Ferry and bayonet were recently acquired though a trade at gun shop. The shop usally has nothing but black guns but this visit I spied this...

    New to me M1842 Harpers Ferry or ? ?

    Thank guys for all the info. I still don't get why mine is a smooth bore with rifle sights.. As I understand the rifled versions had a thicker barrel and mine appears to be pretty thin walled. thanks Again

    New to me M1842 Harpers Ferry or ? ?

    Not very familiar with US Muskets so please bear with me. I was at a local gun shop today that usually only deals with modern mil surplus and black rifles but today they had this musket against the wall. I checked it out and it didn't look too bad so I horse traded a few old russian surplus guns...

    2nd gen Colt .36 Navy

    I wanted to share my good fortune in acquiring this Colt from a local online auction. For the price of a new Pietta from Cabela's, I got this cased set as shown. I was shocked when no one else bid it higher. I guess everyone wants AR's now a days. I believe the accessories may of been pieced...

    Overpriced sellers

    A few months ago I heard this firsthand at a gun show. A friend of the seller asked him why he had his guns 2 to 3 times the going price and he flat out said he has no intention of selling any guns but if somebody would be dumb enough to pay that price he would sell it. The only reason he was...

    Any info on the S. Sweitner made gun appreciated

    Thank you so much Tanselman. That was exactly what I was looking for. I hope to get it back to respectable condition like you said. I got the gun in southern Wisconsin. That info makes it much more enjoyable for me to work on this rifle.
