Important information about ordering firearms from us!
If you see a firearm that you want, let us know and we will hold it for you. Firearms manufactured after 1898 can only be shipped to someone with a Federal Firearms License (FFL). The Federal Firearms License holder will have you fill out a 4473 form ("yellow sheet") to conduct the required federal "Permanent Brady" instant background check, and any other paperwork required in your area before allowing you to take possession. FFL holders often charge a small fee for handling these transfers, as well as any state or federal fees for the background check. If you don't know of any FFL holders in your area, we can provide a list of local FFL holders who may be willing to handle transfers. All firearms are sold as collectors items only. We warrant them to be as described, and make no claims as to fitness for use. Have them checked by a competent gunsmith prior to firing. We assume no liability for accidents or injuries resulting from firing of any firearm we sell. By ordering from this listing, you certify that you understand and agree to these terms.

SMOF5764 - BARRELED RECEIVER ARISAKA T-99 IN 7 MM SERIAL NUMBER 95779 Made at Nagoya Arsenal. $25.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5769 - BARRELED RECEIVER ARISAKA T-99 IN 7 MM SERIAL NUMBER 2992. Made at Toyo Kogyo Arsenal $25.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5685 - SMOF5685 HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLETT SINGLE SHOT .410 GA SHOTGUN - SERIAL NUMBER 11127. HS&B was located in Chicago and was a major wholesaler of hardware throughout the U.S. from 1882 until they were sold off in 1962 mainly for the use of their “True-Value” brand name. This gun has the HSB logo on the receiver and the caliber designation “410-44 CAL” is on the barrel. Since the .410 was just becoming popular in America just prior to WW1, but the .44 caliber Extra Long shot cartridges (lengthened version of the .44-40 case) were widely used in other guns, this probably helped sell this relatively “new” caliber in the period 1915-1940. This was probably made by Iver Johnson, but hard to be sure who made the various “house brand” guns in the old days. There is an old repaired crack in the Buttstock that looks like a solid repair, and the price reflects this flaw. Overall used good, nice wall hanger. $150.00 (View Picture)

SMF5463 - TAURUS MODEL 80 4 INCH IN 38 SPECIAL SERIAL NUMBER 747241 Taurus Revolvers have been widely recognized as one of the best in the industry for more than seven decades. In that time, Taurus has pioneered the art of the wheelgun with features like the yoke detent, full length ejector rod and the Taurus Security System and with guns like the famous Taurus Raging Bull series of hunting handguns. As the century turned, Taurus took revolvers to a new level with the introduction of Taurus Total Titanium. These lightweight, full-power handguns remain as the best that can be gotten.

The Taurus 80 is essentially a Brazilian copy of the Smith and Wesson Model 10, made on Smith and Wesson machinery in Brazil under license. The six-shot revolver is chambered for the .38 special and comes with fixed sights, custom Pachmyer grips, and a heavy 4-inch barrel. The revolver is in very good to excellent condition with about 95% plus finish remaining and an excellent bore. $225.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5618 - DIAMOND ARMS COMPANY, ST. LOUIS, SINGLE SHOT 410 GAGE SHOTGUN Serial Number none (none required before 1968). Diamond Arms is a “house brand” used on guns sold by the Shapleigh Hardware Company of St. Louis. This is a very nice example with about 80-90% thinning blue on the barrel, and traces of finish on the frame with scattered light specks of rust. The stocks show some use and minor dings but overall fine to near excellent example of a shotgun sold circa 1920s-1940s. Barrel is marked “.410 choke or 12 m/m”. These were probably made by Stevens for Shapleigh. $150.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5682 - UNCOMMON “ZAYRE” BRAND MODEL 71 .22 CALIBER SINGLE SHOT RIFLE - Serial Number 6984. This is an inexpensive youth size rifle, (same idea as the cute little “Cricket” rifles on the market in recent years). Zayre was a chain of discount retail stores that operated in the United States from 1956 to 1989 at a time when there were many different discount stores competing with each other before WalMart came along and put most of them out of business. Interestingly, Zayre also started TJ Maxx and BJ's Wholesale Club chains which remain in business. These rifles were made in Japan by Taiyo and are a throwback to the early 1900s period of ultra cheap “Boys’ rifles.” This is a single shot and reportedly you can push the cocking knob forward to apply the safety after cocking it, and then pul it back again when you want to fire. Oveall near excellent with a few minor scrapes or dings but still a nice example of one of the last of the “house brand boys rifles.” $65.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5226 - 17810 - AUSTRIAN MODEL 1895 MANNLICHER 8 X 56MMR CALIBER STRAIGHT PULL CARBINE MADE BY STEYR - Serial number 9415Z, this rifle (also known as the Osterreichisches Repetier-Stutzen M.95) has "W-n 18" marking on the barrel, indicating it was manufactured by Steyr in 1918. Although a few were made after the end of WW1, in 1920 the post-WWI remnants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire finally ended production after the 1919 Treaty of St. Germain limited production at Steyr to small numbers of weapons for newly formed local army and police units. The rifle began life as a stutzen with sling swivels on both the side and bottom to accomodate both infantry (who used the bottom swivels) and mounted cavalry (who used the side swivels). The rifle was later converted from 8x50R (M.93) to the more powerful 8x56R (M.30) caliber in the mid 1930's, and the latter is sometimes called the 8mm M30 Scharfe Patrone. A taller front sight was added to the still-original stutzen dovetailed sight base to compensate for this change, while the rear sight markings were ground off and markings calibrated to the new round were added. Additionally, the sling swivels were removed: the front swivel would have been hinged into the barrel band, and was replaced with a spacer, while the rear swivel was removed and its hole plugged with wood. This is a great example with about 98% of the arsenal refinish blue. The light colored (beech?) stock was refinished at the same time, and has a nice coat of finish with only a few minor dings or bruises. There is a small arsenal wood repair on the left side of the receiver tang. Bore is about fine.

From about 1880 to 1900 there was a worldwide fad where many countries adopted straight pull rifle designs. They actually are a pretty good concept, although an unnatural motion nowadays to folks raised on bolt action rifles. Steyr had several models along with the Swiss Schmidt Rubins, the Canadian Ross and the American Winchester Lee Navy to name some of the best known examples. However, mechanical problems and the simpler Mauser and Lee- Enfield type bolt actions doomed them to a relatively brief era of popularity. That would be an interesting collecting niche to specialize in. When Austria was absorbed into the third Reich in the late 1930s, the Model 95 rifles and carbines were withdrawn from service and Austrian troops were issued K98k Mausers. However, the eventual need for all available arms led to the Model 95s being reissued to a variety of Austrian and German second line and support units. The oddball 8 x 56mmR cartridges are still found occasionally at gun shows in their 5 round en-block clips, packed in boxes with German markings. Overall a really handsome example of an unusual episode in martial arms evolution. $250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5231 - 17872 - TURKISH MODEL 1938 8MM MAUSER RIFLE ASSEMBLED AT K. KALE IN 1942 - Serial number 105846, mismatched. Receiver ring marked K.Kale under the usual TC, crescent and AFSA Turkish government and arsenal markings, indicating assembly at the K. Kale facility.

We really are not big fans of the myriad Turkish Mauser variations, but got a couple as part of package deals. This could be a very inexpensive collecting specialty with oodles of variations, some more interesting than others. The Turks are noted for their long history of warfare with other groups or nations, and domestic unrest, and thus have been voracious consumers of firearms for centuries. You may recall the Turks “bought American” in the 1860s-70s, and slaughtered Russians with a mix of Peabody rifles for long range fire and Model 1866 Winchesters for rapid close range fire at the battle of Plevna. In 1887 the Mauser brothers convinced the Turks to buy a large number of 11mm Model 1871/84 Mausers (Turkish Model 1887). Their contract very smartly included a clause that specified that if a newer model rifle was introduced the balance of the contract would be filled with the newer model. Thus the Turks leapfrogged into variations of the Model 1889 (in 7.65mm) with the single column box magazine, then the Model 1893 (in 8mm) and then the 1898, but all under Turkish designations and usually in several variations. In addition the Turks received large numbers of Model 1888 “Commission Rifles” from Germany during WW1, and captured thousands of British Lee Enfields during the Gallipoli campaign. In the 1930s the Turks began a program to overhaul their hoarded arms and convert everything into a more or less standard configuration, and standardize on the 7.92 x 57mm Mauser cartridge as the common ammunition. This involved reworking the various guns by replacing barrels, altering or replacing stocks and mashing the metal parts into conformity. Meanwhile, new rifle production continued by AFSA (the Turkish military arsenal) in Ankara, Turkey. These were the “Model 1938” rifles essentially a 98 Mauser type design with the older style upper band assembly. To thoroughly confuse collectors, all of the rifles being updated were also called Model 1938s, regardless of what they started off as. There is some info on all of these in Robert Ball’s superb Mauser Military Rifles of the World, and one excellent on line source is http://www.turkmauser.com, run by a collector who seems to have an excellent grasp on the subject.

This rifle is a true M1938, assembled during WW2 from parts on hand (probably a mix of new manufacture, in storage or salvaged parts from older rifles) at K.Kale under the AFSA control. The serial number is correct for this date and configuration, although it is poorly hand stamped and the second number is easily confused for a “9” instead of a “0” but careful examination and comparison with the serial number ranges confirms it is a “0.” As Turkish rifles go, this is in about average condition, with the blue finish mostly turned to plum or patina, the stock oil soaked. The bore is greasy but looks like it should clean to good or better. There is a crack extending back from the right side of the receiver tang. Small Century import marks on the barrel. Although some people shoot these, we sell all firearms as collector items only, and the must be approved by a competent gunsmith. If the stock is degreased, it will look a lot better as the metal is actually pretty decent with no pitting and a blue-black tone mixed with patina, rather than the crust of rust over gaping pits as sometimes found on the turked up rifles. $195.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5004 - 16540 - RUSSIAN/FINNISH MODEL 39 MOSIN-NAGANT RIFLE (7.65X54MMR CALIBER) – Serial number 57918 assembled by VKT in 1942 on a Russian receiver made by Tula in 1900, as indicated by the 900r and “T” hammer symbol on the underside of the receiver tang. This design was adopted in 1939 as the Finnish “Infantry Rifle Model 1939” and became the preferred rifle for use during World War II as the Finns fought the Russians, eventually losing in 1944. These used a mix of newly made parts and reworked parts from earlier Mosin Nagants which had been purchased or captured by the Finns. The M39 features entirely new sights, better barrels, two sets of sling swivels a two piece finger jointed stock, and the improved two piece magazine stop. This example was made by VKT (Valtion Kirvaaritehdas). Bore is nice and bright, but rifling is somewhat rounded on the lands. Reportedly these are excellent shooters. (Reminder: we sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing.) Looks like about 90% blue finish remains, but I am pretty sure a previous owner touched it up, especially on the magazine/trigger guard. Bolt number is matching, but as with most of these, the other parts numbers are totally mismatched. Stock is solid, with the assorted minor dings and scars of an issued military arm. There is an arsenal repaired crack along the left side of the receiver tang. The birch stock color ranges from blond to brown. Several arsenal repaired cracks in the handguard. Import marks on upper part of the barrel. Complete with the cleaning rod which is often missing. Overall an inexpensive representative example of a Mosin Nagant that actually looks different from most of the other variations. $225.00 (View Picture)

This was in an ammo can that had some water in the bottom and several of the clips are rusty and one clip of ammo is badly corroded, and the rust ate through the bandoleer in one spot and stained it in a couple of others.

20886 AMMUNITION: ITS HISTORY, DEVELOPMENT AND USE 1600-1943, - 22 CB cap to 40mm – by Melvin M. Johnson and Charles Haven - 374 pages 6.5” x 9.5” hardbound. First 1943 edition. This is by Melvin M. Johnson (of Johnson rifle fame), and is a significant study on ammunition technical merits. This book traces the development of ammunition from the beginning of the paper musket cartridge to the present day. It covers both early and modern pistol or revolver cartridges including foreign as well as American sporting and military cartridges, and includes a discussion of the larger type of fixed ammunition- the .50 caliber, 20mm., 37mm. and 40mm. shells and cartridges used in aircraft, anti-aircraft and anti-tank cannon. There is much useful information which will help the reader to understand the functioning of ammunition and its stoppages in the field, plus very clear discussions of ballistics, sights, etc. Many large fold out plates with ballistic info etc in the back. Corners bumped and some damp staining or wrinkling and cloth on top of spine is worn. Printed on cheap wartime high-acid paper which is yellowing and becoming brittle, but still a near good copy of this classic. $25.00 (View Picture)

20644 DH-132 Combat Vehicle Crewman helmet circa early 1970s-1980s made by GENTEX - These use a fiberglass protective shell with a padded suspension system. These do not offer “ballistic protection” but kept combat vehicle crews from beating their heads against all the hard and odd shaped and oddly placed stuff on the inside of the vehicle. They are fitted for a boom mike and earphones built into the padded ear pieces. This is a well used and somewhat abused example, but CHEAP! One earpiece speaker has come lose from the wires, and the foam padding in the ear pads is dry rotted and flaking. Will still display nicely. Reportedly some of the Airsoft and paintball folks rework these for their fun and that would not make any difference to them. Priced cheap dus to the less than optimum collector condition. $15.00 (View Picture)

20639 Military Vehicle "tool bag" - Simple but heavy duty bag made of "herculite" type material about 10” x 19” marked BAG, TOOL, 5140-00-772-4142. Used excellent. These were issued with a wide variety of military vehicles including Humvees, 6x6, tracked vehicles, etc. Can also be used in your ratty old civilian ride to hold its tools! CHEAP $5.00 (View Picture)

20351 Flight Suit, Intermediate, khaki (size small) - Authentic, intermediate-weight flight suits.. perfect for all your in-the-air or on-the-ground activities! This flight suit can be worn alone in warmer weather, or worn over clothing in colder weather. It has all the military-inspired details you're looking for: loads of pockets (including a zippered combination utility/pen pocket on the left sleeve), full-length two-way front zipper, velcro waist and cuff adjustment tabs, and snap shroud-cutter pocket on the left leg. This is made from a 65/35 poly-cotton blend, combining breathability and durability in a completely washable garment (no dry cleaning required!). If you're looking for style, comfort, and practicality, you need this flight suit! No true aviation buff would be without one! One only, size small, looks new never worn. $55.00 (View Picture)

20282 Dummy M16A1 rifle for reenactor or military vehicle display - This is not one of the military “rubber ducks” but pretty similar. Made using a real M16 barrel and magazine and I think the buttstock as well. Everything else is a black resin type material and it has the heft of a real M16A1. Receiver parts have been painted a silver-gray color very similar to the real thing. Flash hider is not correct, but looks okay for display and could probably be replaced with a real one if you have one laying around. The resin casting job is not real great as there are lots of air bubbles which are sort of ugly when viewed close up, but from 10 feet away, this looks like a real gun, and would be great for display in a military vehicle, or for living history use. $55.00 (View Picture)

20657 Lot of ELEVEN EARLY Gun Digest Annuals - The Gun Digest has a wealth of interesting and informative articles every year, on a wide variety of topics. This lot includes eleven issues. It starts with a reprint edition of the very first Gun Digest and also includes numbers 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. These can ship at low post office “book rate” so we will keep shipping cost as low as possible for you. The lot of eleven for the screaming bargain price of only- $25.00 (View Picture)

20656 Lot of FOUR Gun Digest Annuals - This lot includes the “Gun Digest Treasury” with some of the best articles from the first 15 editions, plus number 30 and 34 and one other shown in the photo, but number is illegible and they are already stored in the warehouse so I cannot confirm, but think it is number 32. These can ship at low post office “book rate” so we will keep shipping cost as low as possible for you. The lot of four for the screaming bargain price of only- $10.00 (View Picture)

SMA2379 Holster Leathercraft Mixson Mod # DB623 - Nice black leather with basket weave design. Fits small frame automatic pistols. Good condition with a few scuffs and scrapes, will probably clean up with a little shoe polish. $15.00 (View Picture)

SMA2291 Sling U.S. Web ``M-1 Garand``. - These were used from late WW2 thru 1960s. Although most collectors think of them as being associated with the M1 Garand, they were issued with all U.S. service rifles. This sling is in very good condition. $25.00 (View Picture)

19688 Cheap M1907 style sling - Made in the same style as U.S. military Model 1907 leather slings, but the leather is cheaper and a bit thinner, and the hooks are thinner stamped steel. Would probably work okay, but not nearly as good workmanship as the real GI slings. Looks about new. $20.00 (View Picture)

1879 Videotape- MARKSMANSHIP WITH THE M1 RIFLE (Part 2)- These are the ones you slept through in Boot Camp. TF7-1100 and TF7-1101 total of 60 minutes on Elevation and Windage computations, Zeroing, and use of scorebook, use of M3 tool to adjust windage knob. These tapes are as important a part of documentation on M1 rifles as the printed FMs and TMs. We are out of the videos for Part I, and just have four copies of Part 2. These are VHS format but you can transfer to a DVD if you like, as these are public domain, that your grandparents’ tax dollars paid to make 50 years ago. Will sell the lot of all four for only $18.00 (View Picture)

868 M1903A3 Dummy Drill Rifle Stock and Handguard - Type used by US Navy on Mk 5 Dummy Drill rifles. Made of very tough rubbery material, reddish-brown color, that is nearly indestructible. These are slightly used to near new. Only have 3 sets of these available. Perfect for drill team or color guard use Handguard material may vary somewhat in color. $89.00 (View Picture)

18704 LOT OF 2 MAUSER RIFLE STOCKS- ONE GEW98/M1909 AND ONE VZ-24 TYPE - These are military stocks taken off by a gunsmith who used the actions to make Bambi-blasting rifles. The stocks are solid, and will fit any of the standard length M1898 Mauser actions. Assorted nicks and dings but nothing major, although lots of old arsenal grease covers them. The long stock is probably from an Argentine or Brazilian M1909 rifle, with the long 30 inch barrel like those used on the WW1 GEW 98 Mausers. The short stock is from a VZ-24 type rifle with the shorter stock about the same size as the Kar98k rifles. If you have a sporter that needs a new stock (cheap!) you can chop the forend off either of these and you should be ready to go. If you want to restore a GEW 98 (or any of the export rifles of that length) the long stock should be ready to go. Of course, you can alter these to fit other models with minimum effort. These come complete with the buttplates, swivels, band springs as shown in the photo, along with one of the long VZ24 type handguards. We have three sets of these in similar condition, so the pair you get will be about what is in the photo, but not necessarily the exact lot shown. (Shipping cost for the two stocks will only be $25.00) - Two stocks for only $75.00 (View Picture)

18703 COLT M1849 POCKET MODEL 4 INCH BARREL - What you see is what you get. Four inch barrel that has been refinished long ago, but portions of the Hartford address still available. Serial number not legible. Bore is rusty. Front sight smoothed off when refinished. A treasure for someone. $55.00 (View Picture)

18574 M1 CARBINE 15 ROUND MAGAZINES (LOT OF 2) WEAK SPRINGS - These look just like excellent to new condition US GI magazines, but they lack the usual maker codes and the follower springs are too weak to function, so they are repros from somewhere. Fine for display, or for cutting down to smaller capacity to meet goofy laws in some areas. These are also great ones to use for making a display mount for one or more carbines- just remove the floorplate and spring and insert a piece of wood (oak 1” x 2” is near perfect fit) and either attaché a cross brace on the bottom or inert it into a slotted base of some sort. (examples at http://ugca.org/07jan/night.htm) NOTE- 15-round M1 Carbine magazines cannot be sent to residents of California, Massachusetts, or New York. Lot of two aftermarket 15 round magazines with weak follower springs $12.00 (View Picture)

18398 Remington 513T stock (slightly boogered) - Standard military (or commercial) style target stock for the Remington Model 513T target master rifle. Bubba went ahead and added a fancy white spacer in front of the buttplate, and another along with a steel cap on the pistol grip. He then tried his hand at inletting a red diamond with a white dot on both sides of the butt. Fortunately, he did not alter the length of the stock or anything. Your 513T action will drip right in and you can transfer over the trigger guard and handstop and be all set. Great for someone with a growing kid who has outgrown a 513T with a shortened stock, or if you want to mess around with some sort of recoil pad or other features and keep your old stock. Has heavy coat of varnish. Perfectly usable, just ugly (to me- I am sure Bubba thought it was beautiful!). $15.00 (View Picture)

18358 White Leather M1907 type sling for parade use - Commercial item, not military issue, although some military units buy such stuff for ceremonial use. Used fine to excellent. $15.00 (View Picture)

10741 WW1 M1917 TRIPLE POUCH FOR M1917 REVOLVERS (REPRODUCTION) - Three pockets, each holding two half moon clips of .45 ACP ammo. This was unique to the M1917 revolvers, and while never common, they have about vanished. Originals are now selling at $125 and more, so we were glad to be able to get these superb quality reproductions which we can sell for less than half that. Exact reproduction with every detail correct, except not maker marked. (We have marked inside of the belt loop "REPRO" so people will be able to tell the difference. These are made by our friends at American Patrol Company who do superb work on all sorts of repro web gear, and provided much of the gear used by Band of Brothers, Windtalkers, Saints & Soldiers, etc.) Free shipping on these either ordered singly or with other items. Two or more $50 each, or buy one for $55.00 (View Picture)

18021 105mmHOWITZER STEEL CASE -POLISHED BRIGHT - This is the steel M14B1 case, and it has been polished and buffed until it almost looks like chrome. However, poor storage has left some light to medium surface rust on the case and mainly on the base. Headstamp markings hard to read. Polish it us a little more and do whatever with it, or hit it with some brown lacquer and it will look almost new. Cheap art work! $15.00 (View Picture)

17268 PAIR OF SOLID BRASS BOOKENDS WITH COLT PATERSON AND COLT WALKER REVOLVERS - Nicely made of cast brass. Weight a bit over 2 pounds each, so they will work pretty well. Height about 7.5” to 8.5” with the Walker being the higher one. Nicely detailed and having mellow patina. Probably made in the 1950s. Nice addition for the gun library. $49.00 (View Picture)

17852 Decorative replica brass 3" artillery shell (or something) - Dimensions about 3 inch diameter by 9 inches long, a bit shorter than the usual WW1 75mm/3 inch cases. This is made of two pieces with the sides of the case apparently some sort of brass pipe and the base and rim cast or machined. The “rim” is sort of tapered so it will not really function as such, but it does have a hole in the center as if it were to hold a primer. It may be some sort of decorative substitute for a sculpture or monument or something else. It would look good all polished up but has marginal collector value. $12.00 (View Picture)

17792 LYMAN four cavity mold and handles 357446 (162 grain) - Lyman has been the largest maker of bullet molds for nearly 100 years now. These are usually found in single, double or four cavity versions, with the larger molds obviously being more productive in terms of bullets per hour. These are all precision manufacture tools and when properly cared for will last a long time. Besides a lower cost per bullet than buying them from commercial sources, there is also the benefit of not being dependent on commercial sources as you can cast your own bullets using an electric casting pot, or even an iron pot on your kitchen stove. (The latter practice invites nasty comments from mothers and spouses, I have learned.) By tinkering with the lead alloy and lubes and sizing procedures cast bullets can achieve excellent accuracy, and with gas checks they can get good velocity, although not as high as jacketed bullets. This is a used mold, casting the bullet described above. It comes complete with handles. Overall condition fine to excellent showing just normal wear. $95.00 (View Picture)
