Real Guns

Classic Firearms has a good selection of Mosins and other surplus rifles. I plan on picking up a few once I have the money.

You're right. They do have a good selection. But they have basically nothing in stock.

Wouldn't mind one of those Finnish Mosins...

I don't have any pictures but my historical weapons that I own are:

M1917 US Rifle (made in 1918)
M1 Garand (Springfield)
K98k Mauser

And my favorite-

M1842 Springfield, lockplate dated 1847, barrel dated 1852

With fire arms restrictions being what they are in the UK, the only thing I can manage is this little Chinese made beauty.

The bipod and folding bayonet snapped off some months ago but the vibrating barrel and flashing lights are simply smashing.

Dear god, a masterpiece at last! Those Chinese really can make some fine stuff.

Yup. And next to no recoil. Even on full auto.

That is pure witchcraft.

I'm no expert in modern arms (I only really am into medieval swords and muskets) but surely 100-150 is a bit too good to be true?

I bought my Mosin Nagant 91/30 for $75 at Big 5 Sporting Goods back early 2000's. They've gone up a little, but I still have the receipt to prove it. Came with a bayonet, oil bottle, and sling too.

[LJPII]

Yes, we do love our firearms:D and we really don't like people who try and take them away from us

Hear hear!

Part of my collection,

The wood looks really good on that.

Beautiful weaponry. I have an 1860 colt army revolver, I will post a picture of that tomorrow as I am about to go to bed, and I don't have one on my computer. I really love the wood finish on the rifle by the way, that looks gorgeous.

(sorry for it being small)

This is part of my collection, the two pistols that do not look as 'shiny' are from my father who has been collecting weapons for a looooong time, and he gave me them. I've got some older muskets from around 1812 and 1810 that were my family's weapons for hunting, but a friend is restoring them. Otherwise, I would have shown them.

This is my pride and joy, an original 1863 Sharps Army Rifle. This was a late war issue, very end of 64 or early 65. It was issued to one of the Veteran Regiments under Gen. W Hancock that were formed near the end of the war. Lincoln wanted combat veterans to reenlist and part of the deal was that you would be issued a sharps long rifle AND you got to keep it when you mustered out. Other troops had to pay a discounted rate in order to keep their service weapon. This is why the rifle is in museum quality condition.

Fun Fact: This and almost all Sharps rifles and carbines employ what is called a "Lawrence Pellet Primer System", not to be confused with the bungled "Maynard Tap System." The Lawrence system automatically fed copper mercury of fulminate discs onto the nipple rather than having to manually put a cap on.

Sweet looking rifle, thanks for sharing it. :)

Great bit of info about it as well!

I own a 1859 Sharps rifle. Its serial suggests it being amongst the first batch of a thousand or so ordered by the US in 1860. It ended up at either Philadelphia or Washington naval yard.
