"To understand the gun is to better understand history"--History Channel.
Items marked "FFL" can only be sent to licensed dealers(need signed copy of FFL). For antique
guns, airguns, knives and ammo I need a copy of your D.L.(must be 21).
All used guns should be checked by a licensed gunsmith before shooting. No refunds on shipping
or guns with swapped parts.
If I don't have what you want, e-mail me and I may get you with someone who does(no charge).
I'm looking to buy percussion-to-cartridge conversions for my collection.

AIRGUNS: $10 pistol/$15 rifle/package. Photos at bottom of page. The NRA system
of grading is used on all items in this website, i.e. NIB-new, EX-excellent, VG-very good, G-good, F-fair,
P-poor.
ABT Air-O-Matic gallery gun: .1875(!)cal, VG, $300. DAO repeater powered by compressed air. This is the bolt
variant, with fixed sights. Patent dates 1942 and 1949. Bore mikes ~.200" and carrier is .190", so .175" BBs are too small,
but work OK. I'll include some 3/16" ball bearings, which is the proper ammo and works fine. Also, the hammer spring
is weak, so the gun shoots low. It is contained in a brass body that is pinned together and I couldn't get it apart. Only
defect is a small loss of wood on the toe of the buttstock. Refinished, no leaks. A very rare American air gun that few people
have heard of. LEARN MORE
ACCLES WARRIOR pistol: .177, G, $300. Wrong spring, wrong grips. See below.
AIRSOFT PISTOL: 6mm, NIB, FREE with any airgun purchase(ask). For those of you who feel that my guns
are too expensive or dangerous I offer this pocket-sized plastic airgun with some great features: matt black finish,
slide cocking, weighted 9-shot detachable magazine w/finger rest, side-button mag release, and finger-rest trigger guard. Resembling
the S&W 6904, it sports a red 2.5" barrel. Looks D.A., but is a repeater. Fits small hands best and comes with 100 quality
plastic BBs(airsoft guns sometimes come with undersized BBs with sprues and flash which will jam the gun). These are made
for me in China by prison labor so that I can get you the lowest possible price.
AMPELL ACRO 1, MS22: .22, EX, $75. Heavy all-metal single-shot replica of the Thompson-Center Contender pistol. Shoots

plastic stock, missing rear sight. No markings at all; appears to be a police or military training gun.
SHERIDAN SILVER STREAK: Out-of stock now; sell me yours!
S&W Model 78G or 79G pistol $100-$150: Out of stock now. Also have a copy of the manual for $2...Daisy
790, .177, EX, $60. Holds gas, but power is very weak; box. Identical to S&W 79G, but much cheaper. Price goes up if I
fix it.

shooter. See below.
WALTHER LP53 copy: .177, out-of-stock now. Made in Poland in 1976 by Predom-Lucznik of better
materials(steel & aluminum) than the originals were which used a lot of pot metal. Power and accuracy seem
about the same as my LP53.
WEBLEY SENIOR pistol: .22, G, $160. Strong spring, shoots good. US shoulder holster(included) fits perfectly.
WEBLEY PREMIER MKII pistol: .177, EX, $295. Painted cast aluminum frame. With original box & sleeve.
Looks new.
THINKING ABOUT BUYING A CHINESE SPRING RIFLE? Don't. I have chronographed some of these and found
that velocity can vary as much as 350fps from shot to shot, which affects accuracy. This could be due to inadequate honing
or nonconcentricity of the tube.

LONG GUNS: "R&R"= Repaired and Refinished. "Shooter Grade"=
Lots of pitting, or other defects, but good rifling. May not be safe to shoot. "Not Ready"= waiting on parts and/or
restoration. "On Hold"= 1st refusal promised to someone whenever I get it restored. This may take over a year.
ARISAKA TYPE 38 rifle: 6.5mm, G, $160. Out of stock, check back every 30 days.
ARISAKA TYPE 2 PARATROOPER: 7.7, EX, $1500, FFL. The 2 halves are mismatched in #, but
wood & metal are very close. Bolt matches receiver(3965). Ground Mum, repro rod, anti-aircraft wings, original finish,
some gouges in stock. Bore looks new.
BERTHIER 1916 CARBINE: 8mm, G, $225, FFL. Repaired & refinished stock, cleaning rod and 5-shot
clip. Marked "MAC 1918" under hand guard. Ask for photo.
BURNSIDE C.W. CARBINE, 4TH: .54, G, $900. Minor rust, pitting and wood loss where buttstock joins
reciever. Cracked trigger, good bore.
CARCANO M.91 carbine: 8x57(!), VG, $160, FFL. Missing the folding bayo assy; appears to
have been made that way, the 18" barrel not turned down for it. This seems to be a rare Cremona conversion, done
under German supervision in 1944. New barrel and receiver are unmarked except for sn on barrel and a '7.9' stamped on
the fixed rear sight. No other markings except 'S' on bolt, and none appear to have been removed... This would also make
a great emergency rifle to keep in your cabin or truck, lighter and shorter than an SKS, but with twice the wallop. All the
pundits insist that these are unsafe to fire, so I decided to shoot some hot surplus ammo in it, but couldn't find any
signs of stress(fired case included). I wonder if the "experts" know that the bores on these are oversize(.329"),
which would certainly lower chamber pressure. Only problem was that the bolt was hard to open, so maybe hand loads
would be best. Try using 125gr bullets. Trapdoor in butt plate for folding cleaning rod(missing).
CHASSEPOT M.1866 NEEDLE FIRE shooter: 11mm, VG, $495. Dated 1867. Yes, you can easily
shoot these, but wear face protection. Refinished brite and converted to shoot a special bullet(included), made by
gluing a percussion cap backwards onto the base of a .45-70 bullet. Fill chamber with loose FFG black powder, no cartridges
needed. Modification consists of a longer needle and new rubber obturator. Gun has the original rod. This was captured
in the Franco-Prussian War, by the Germans who thoughtfully removed the French markings. Bayonets are $25-$50
w/gun.
CLEMENT-NEUMANN: .401 Win, VG, $1500, FFL. Similar to Winchester 1910 blow-back semi-auto; less
than 1000 made(in Belgium). See p.120 ALFA. Replaced sights and mag; chip to wrist. Clement also designed the .35 S&W
auto pistol.
CZ 52(she)rifle: 7.62x45, EX, $425, FFL. Missing sight cover. Comes with ammo, sling, 7.62x39
conversion kit, and extra display 30rnd mag.
DANISH KRAG rifle: 8x58, G, $450, FFL. Waiting on rear sight; Springfield Sporters is supposed
to have them.
DANISH ROLLIING BLOCK rifle: 11mm, VG, $750. Original chamber; .45-70s won't fit.
DAUDETEAU / ST. DENIS rifle: 6.5, VG, $650. Mismatched #s and incorrect cleaning rod. Uruguay

Daudeteau chambers and barrels.
DUTCH BEAUMONT rifle: 11mm, VG, $300. Not ready.
EVANS 3RD sporting rifle: .44, VG, $850. Heavy 30" octagon barrel, pitted bore. Missing main
spring and rear sight; price goes up when I find them.
FRENCH GRAS MUSKETOON: 11MM, VG, $550. Lots of brass, original rod, and bore appears unfired.
Mismatched bolt with correct turned-down handle, 28" barrel. Add $50 for the bayonet.
FRENCH LEBEL rifle: 8mm, VG, $400, FFL. Tube feed, mismatch floorplate, renumbered bolt, dated
1915. Minor pitting, good bore, lots of finish, no visible rust. Wood is sound but dinged. Bayonet & scabbard(matching)
for another $50 w/gun.
M.1888 German Commission Carbine: 8x57J, VG, $750. R&R stock, mismatched bolt, 2 railway
unit markings, spring ejector in dust cover.
GERMAN ROOK rifle: .22lr, VG, $350, FFL. Featured in the 1911 Alfa catalog. Cute little
side-lever drop barrel with wood checkering and Continental swivels. One-hole groups @ 10m. Most rook rifles were
in odd calibers, but this one you can shoot. Saw one just like it, but engraved, for $1500!
GERMAN TARGET RIFLE: .22lr, G, $160, FFL. Full-size single-shot bolt action marked "BERNH.PAATZ.WAFFENFABRIK
ZELLA-MEHLIS/THUR." Continental sporting sights and swivels, repaired stock with cheek piece and checkered pistol grip. Needs
extractor. Shoots one-hole groups @ 10m.
GREEK MANNLICHER-SCHOENAUER: 6.5MM, G, $350, FFL. Replaced bands and handguard. Not ready.
HOPKINS & ALLEN 4922(I think): .22 lr, VG, $50, FFL. Unusual tube-feed bolt-action take-down
repeater. Looks good, but unfortunately missing the lifter parts, cracked stock, and bore is bad. For display or parts...
I actually paid $100 for this, not knowing that critical parts were missing.
ITALIAN VETTERLI single-shot sporter: 10.4cf, G, $300. Japanese style rear fixed sight, but no
Jap marks. Ex-military, dust cover, shiney bore, no finish.
JAPANESE TYPE 30 rifle: 7.7, G, $450, FFL. "Hook Safety" ground Mum. Incorrect rod, mismatch
#s, good bore... Another, VG, $550, FFL. Mum lightly overstamped with small circles. Original brass-tipped cleaning rod.
No assembley #s. Bores on both are worn with good rifling.
JAP TYPE 99 LAST DITCH rifle: 7.7mm, VG, $225, FFL. Ground Mum, mismatched bolt w/cylindrical
handle and rare straight-grooved safety knob.
JAPANESE TRAINING RIFLE: .30?, EX, $225, FFL. Resembles the rare Type 99 Long Rifle with 31"
barrel. No firearm parts other than the replaced bolt. Repro sling, receiver polished brite. See pic below... Another,
G, $160, FFL. Unusual single-shot type with full-length cleaning rod, not ready. I know these are not FFL, but try telling
that to Atlanta UPS, USPS & Fed Ex.
JOSLYN C.W. CARBINE, 1864: .52rf, G, $900. Breechblock converted to c.f., but firing pin is r.f.
Cracked wrist, good bore.
KESSLER HAMMER DOUBLE shotgun: 12ga, VG, $450, FFL. With leather Leg-O-Mutton case. High-quality
German top lever made in the '20s. "F.W. KESSLER. SUHL" "ACIER KRUPP-ESSEN" "Nitro", etc. Pretty silver-plated box lock with
medium coverage delicate hand engraving. 30" barrels, F&M, 2 3/4" chambers, 6.8lb. Tight lock-up. Recoil pad
installed on uncut stock. Gunsmith who lengthened the forcing cones for me said that the steel was unusually hard. I
used it a couple times in SASS, but it's too nice for that. Hammer doubles like this are still made in
Europe, but will set you back $1000s.
M.1898 KRAG shooter: .30 US, VG, $500. Sanded stock, replaced barrel, repaired handguard, nice
bore. Made in 1898, according to "U.S. Military Arms Dates of Manufacture", p.30. Sn 366xxx.

M16A2 TRAINING RIFLE: .223, VG, $225. Remarkably detailed solid black rubber 8lb replica, with original
Colt barrel(rifled!), muzzle brake, bayonet lug and working front sight. Complete Colt and gov't markings; looks better than
most I've seen. Current production is blue plastic. Original sling; bayonet & scabbard is $25 extra. FSN: DVC-T7-83B on
butt stock.
1894 MARLIN rifle: .25-20, G. $450. R&R stock and metal. Not ready.
MARLIN 1898 pump shotgun: 12ga, G, $225, FFL. A neat old gun suitable for SASS. Test fired OK with Winchester
Low Recoil shells, which is best to use in these; high wall brass won't extract. Wood is VG, but some pitting on metal; both
have been refinished. Button slide-release. When examining old Marlins, check the inside extractor: 99% are broken off, including
mine. This doesn't affect the extraction, as long as you use low-wall brass and cut a hook in the outside extractor, but will
help in negotiating a price....Also a Model 17, similar to above, same price.
MARTINI-HENRY musket: 20ga(!), VG, $450. Looks like a standard rifle with 33" barrel, full length forend, and
the original rifle sights. 3" chamber. Dark blue arsenal refinish over pitted metal, new stock. Markings on receiver
are: (CROWN) V.R, ENFIELD, 1889, AC, and 2 Indian proof marks. Test fired 5 times with Federal Truball slugs which can
group 2" @ 50yards. Muzzle energy and velocity are the same as the original .450/.577 load. GO HERE
MARTINI-HENRY cavalry carbine: .450 shot, EX, $595. All correct, including the chamber, but the 530" bore
is smooth and highly polished. Could be a .577/.476 Indian Police Musket, but there are no Indian markings, only Brit. 'Enfield
1884' on receiver, and an 'S-X' over chamber(Strengthened Extractor)... Another, this time arsenal made from a cut-down rifle,
with original bore, G, $595. Marked 'Enfield 1879' on receiver, 'NMP'(Natal Mounted Police) on stock, and an Indian? mark
over chamber. Earlier importation.
MARTINI-ENFIELD carbine: .303, VG, $450. My best condition Martini, but not military. Made in England. Repaired
wood, some pitting in good bore.
MARTINI carbines, Indian? mfg: These fascinating guns were brought out of Afghanistan by a State Dept.
official recently; I have his name and number. $450 each, NRA Good condition, very little pitting, but no finish. All have the
Afgan crest depicted on the right side of the receiver, along with an inscription, and a date in Arabic. All have tight actions,
sound wood, cleaning rods and are polished brite. These were made to a higher standard than the Khyber Pass types and the
parts are interchangeable with the original Martinis, but they are not reworks and there are no Brit marks at all:
The first one is a Martini-Henry artillery carbine in .577/.450 cal with swivels but no bayonet lug. Nice
bore has Henry rifling. Dated 1315, you do the math. Parts not numbered.
The 2nd one is a Martini-Metford cavalry carbine in .303 cal, fair bore, matching #s(10 visible), with another
inscription on the butt plate.
The 3rd one is a Martini-Enfield artillery carbine in .303, matching #s, good bore, and lug for '88 pattern
sword bayonet.
Last 2 guns test fired OK; spent cases provided.
Don't want to pay $450? I also have an Indian arsenal rework for $250, poor bore. Deep reblue over
pitting, sanded stock, misaligned sights and nosecap. Test fired OK.
MAUSER, M.1871 shooter: 11mm, G, $450. Amberg 1878, all matching with original rod, but has dark and rusted
metal, some pitting, Bondo repairs to dark stock. Nice bore mikes .457". Not ready.
MEXICAN ROLLING BLOCK shooter: .43 Span, G, $250. Pitted metal and battered wood. Good bore mikes .450".
Use .45-70 cases and .451" bullets or the Lee .450 Minie ball w/heavy taper crimp. Lee also has the .43 dies
for $25. Test fired OK; sample cartridge included(remind me). A cheap way to get started in BP silouette.
MOSIN-NAGANT M44 deer rifle: 7.62x54, EX, $100, FFL. Russian, all matching, bayonet and lug removed, $66
MOJO peep sight installed, so the gun only costs you $34! Dated 1946 on chamber with the hammer & sickle.
MOSIN-NAGANT 91/30, Spanish Civil War: 7.62X54, G, $160, FFL. Missing front sight post; price goes up when
I find it. Marked "Made in USSR" and "No." before serial # which identifies this model. No import marks. Dated 1933 and mag

in target. Replace the gun of your youth, or the one you wished you had.
REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK rifle: .58(!)cf, G, $750. Shiny bore mikes .600". 39" barrel, tight action,
pitted metal and battered wood. Make ammo from 24ga shotshells. Rare conversion of C.W. musket. Not ready.
REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK, US NAVY: .50-70, VG, $1100. Good bore, tight action, original dark red varnish
finish on wood(repaired). Trapdoor rod fits well, but seems short. Missing rear sight ladder; S&S has them. Marked '(eagle)
USN SPRINGFIELD 1870' on receiver. Of all the military R.B.s, these are the most desirable.
REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK, NY State: .50-70, VG, $900. Good cartouches and unit marked "29th SEP. Co."
and "H 33" on buttstock. Revarnished wood, incorrect rod, brite bore.

SCHMIDT-RUBIN rifle, M.1889: 7.5mm, VG, $550. Not ready.
1911 SCHMIDT-RUBIN carbine: .7.5, VG, $400. Bolt and mag are matching, but refinished stock is not. Go figure.
SHARPS 1863 SRC CONVERSION: .50-70, VG, $1800. NIce buttstock appears to be from a rifle, but fits well
and has a steel patchbox. 4 cartouches. Only defect is a filled-in mortise where the rifle swivel goes. Good 3-groove bore
mikes .515-.520". SN C2866. Test fired OK.
SMITH cavalry carbine: .50, EX, $550. Beautiful repro imported by Navy Arms. Only defect is a small loss
of wood where the buttstock joins the receiver, barely noticeable. Comes with 10 cases and some bullets(remind me). Dixie
sells these for $800...Rebuilt original, G, $900, not ready.
SNIDER MARK III 3-band rifle: .577, VG, $650. Polished brite, good bore, marked 'BSA 1871' on lockplate.
All original and unfooled with. Came out of Afganistan recently, but has Brit markings only. This is the best version for
shooting, with the thumb latch breech block and steel barrel.
SNIDER SPORTING CARBINE, Mark I: .577, VG, $750. A colorful relic of Britain's colonial period. Marked "J.C.A.
LORD. London, Birmingham & Bombay" on barrel. Checkered stock and engraved metal, gray finish. Tight action, 22"
barrel. Nice bore mikes .590". One replaced thimble(for cleaning rod). There were also smoothbore copies of these made in
India, usually found in poor condition. Mine has only British markings. Lord's was an outfitter similar to Abercrombie &
Fitch. Not ready.
SPRINGFIELD M.1816 rifled musket conversion: .69, VG, $800. Converted from flint to percussion(Belgian style);
1842 date on lock plate. Wood is nice with original finish, but has a few chips. Brass bead on front band, but never had a
back sight; a peep sight could be easily fashioned from sheet metal and attached with the tang screw. Repro rod threaded for
8x32 accessories. Bore is pitted with good rifling and mikes .695". Also have a dug-up bayonet for another $75
which fits perfectly on the uncut 42" barrel ... Another, this time a smooth bore(.700") marked A. Waters Millbury and an

back, good stock, original finish, original rod. Good markings: N.J., 6.N.J, Q, GF, CAPE, NJ. Lockplate marked "M.T.WICKHAM
/ PHILA".
SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR 1868: .50-70, G, $650. R&R stock and metal, good bore, lockplate dated 1863. Replaced
rear sight and cleaning rod.
STANDARD ARMS MODEL M rifle: .35 Rem, G, $350, FFL. Shoots good and has a scope mount installed. Shiny bore.
These rare guns were made originally in 1910 as the first US gas-operated semi-autos which proved unreliable, so production
was changed over to pump-action. Also made in .30 &.32 Rem, but .35 is the best.
STANDARD ARMS MODEL G rifle: .30 Rem, VG, $550, FFL. Early semi-auto
STEVENS FAVORITE: .25rf, G, $225, FFL. See pic below. Scope not included(base is just glued on). Comes with

guns ever made. Two brass bands securing the 31" barrel to the stock, a ring in the hammer for cocking and a caliber of 15.6mm.
Otherwise it looks quite similar to Norwegian kammerladers. Brite bore mikes .610", and the tilting chamber .630". Made in
Belgium with shallow concave-groove rifling. S.N. 210; only a few hundred made for trials. Test fired with .58 Minie balls:
accurate and seals well. Uses a Sharps-type paper cartridge or just loose powder & ball. The nipple is located on the
side of the chamber, which gives better ignition than types which fire from the rear.
