So... I'm bidding and likely to win a Radom Vis-35 soon for a VERY reasonable price. The catch? No Magazine Catch! The part seems to be unobtanium at present which is why I suspect the price is so low and no one wants to bite on it. Well... I do.
So, does anyone know if a substitute part...
Hey all, seeing as my car needs some brake pads soon, figure it's time to find someone in near Elkton who won't try to rip me for every red cent or play stupid games with me.
I have a Toyota 2011 camry, pretty run of the mill car, so I don't think I will need a specialty mechanic. I also...
So, I've decided that with my finances in the right place and with me being completely ready to go for it, I want to get an AR-15 upper set up in an A2 configuration. Now, I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I am doing. I will read the build information thread, but I would like some input of what to...
I recently acquired this rifle for a nice chunk of change but I regret literally nothing. This is a 1944 No.4 Mk.1 "Trials" rifle converted by factory to "T" standard to accept a No.32 Mk.2 scope and mount. The wood on the end is a cheek riser that helps the shooter line up with the scope when...
So, I am waiting on at present a No.4 Mk.1 (T) Trials Rifle from 1944 that does not have its scope. At present, I cannot find an original No.32 Mk.2 scope to mate to it so... Does anyone here know anything about which reproduction scope+mount would suit it best? I don't want to go cheap here and...
I'm looking for a reputable builder to put together a PPS 43/52 kit I acquired a number of months back. Preferably in Maryland, but I won't be too picky.
Just found out after a trip to Duffy's that Kel-Tec now has an RBD with a 20" barrel (standard pistol-grip configuration too). It's completely Maryland legal as well, so I have to admit I am seriously tempted here.
So, anyone on here got an informed opinion on the RBD series of rifles?
Per the request of Mawkie, here is my latest acquisition courtesy of a vendor at the MACA show on Saturday. An Egyptian Hakim, year produced not known to me. It has an absolutely beautiful stock but, sadly, the magazine (not shown) is a reproduction.
Regardless, with a good barrel and such a...
Over the weekend I picked up a M1935A out of MSP jail (I get it, should get a C&R license already). I have wanted one of these pistols for years, and I can say quite firmly I am not disappointed by it. The father of the Sig Saeur P-210 (as the patent for the M1935A was purchased by them), the...
The Maryland Antique Arms show is just around the corner, and I'm think this year I am going to sell down a few guns and swing huge.
I'm going to list a good number of my rifles up soon (with ammo and bayonets attached for some) in order to attempt to find and buy a No.4 Mk. 1 (T) or better...

Finally, for those of us who like the original hand-cannon Webleys (which I admit to needing one someday), Starline is now running .455 brass! Hopefully this will...
Due to me not properly reading the box, I ended up buying a case of 7x57R (Rimmed) brass that is intended for use in break-action rifles in said caliber. It WILL NOT function in any rifle chambered in 7x57 Mauser.
That being said, the brass is pristine and de-primed so it's ready for quick...
As the title states, I'm starting to seriously consider whether or not I want to start acquiring parts (or a beater gun) and build myself a Garand in top-knotch condition. I've got a little experience now with repairing and assembling firearms myself but I'd like to know what exactly I am...
I've recently decided to move slightly away from my typical C&R collecting, grab an HQL (with training exemption due to pre-2013 purchase), and grab a more modern handgun for more practical practicing and use. Now, among the options I am considering are surplus M9 or M92 handguns. I have...
To get this part out of the way first: I intend to do this as a random parts build first and foremost. That out of the way, I want to know the feasibility of setting up a Krag in something other than 30-40 Krag.
I would like to know what other calibers I could consider setting one up in for fun...
Throwing this out there as I'm looking to get some practice arms, are there any shops in Maryland or lower PA that sell swords and spears with a physical location? I want to check the heft and style of the weapon personally before I buy one for myself.
I prefer strongly European designed...
Hello all. Due to acquiring a well-paying job in Cecil I'm looking to move into the county from harford so I can minimize my commute.
I'd like to ask if anyone knows about rental properties or cheap/foreclosed small houses in the vicinity of the town of North East. I will be a first time home...
Today after missing out on a MAS 49/56 that I had spied in a pawn shop on Sunday and was waiting on proper funds for, I decided to hit a few gun shops in the area to see what was there. Lo and behold, I find this shotgun sitting behind the counter in a rack at one of the stores I checked.
The...
So, I recently picked up a kit gun PPS 43/52 and I plan to rebuild as much as possible myself. Planning to make it a rifle with a 16.1" 7.62x25 barrel. OAL with wood stock will be over 30" so MD legal as well.
Here's my current dilemma: I need a full diagram for a PPS 43/52, not a 43. They are...
Partially inspired by the M1A in 6.5 creedmore thread below, I've been thinking lately about how narrow the ban laws are being interpretted by MSP. This got me thinking... What if...
Such as, what if you get an FAL made in anything but 7.62/.308? I'm 99% certain that it would not be a copycat...
