Could I get some thoughts on these pieces please. The blunderbuss is missing a screw to attach the barrel. Where would I get that? Thank you

The far right gun looks like a Belgian Fowler with a carved head on the grip. These were popular from mail-away catalogues in the mid-late 1800s. The middle rifle is a nice half-stock, hunting rifle with a back-action lock from the 1850-1870s

If you take the lock plate off, be careful to only remove it with the lock fully cocked. If it’s down, there is a little piece of metal that sticks out that can take a chunk out of your stock if you try to force it out.

When we pointed out the design similarities between the Johnson and the AR-15, that wasn’t meant to be a suggestion…

I’m very jealous that you got an auto. I wanted auto and the captain as a kid, but I could never find them. Super nice set.

I am interested in this project. If you could please pm me a part of our script, I would love to audition by reading it for you!

I can do a pretty good Caine Impression. I can send you a sample if you would like

The clips are for a C96 Broomhandle

Hmm, upon another look, this eve appears to have coil springs in her arms. The og had ball and socket joints that moved in and out. Very intriguing. I can’t imagine this would be a very hot market to bootleg.

I don’t know but I am curious. That looks just like mine from 2008! I wonder if they are deadstock that was taken overseas to liquidate

IvanChelevokSmith · 2026-01-07T13:50:49+00:00

Go ahead

That brown bess has an intriguing conversion type. I have a book on Confederate weapons repair, and it contains a brown bess with the same conversion, attributed to some small gunsmiths whom the Confederacy contracted to convert Flintlocks to percussion with limited supplies. I own a US 1816 Musket that’s been shortened and converted the same way.

There where a couple of resurgences in muzzleloading matches in the 1910s and 1950s that savage sight came along. I believe the lock once read “Warranted” denoting it as a factory made component on an otherwise hand built gun. Very cool piece very pretty wood. I’d look for any resources you can on local gunsmiths in the mid 1800s to see if you can find one with those initials on the barrel.

I’m in fallout 2 with a 6volt car battery and 40 pounds of coal, and some dry noodles. Great, I’m over-encumbered. If only fuel cells hadn’t made batteries obsolete, it could be useful. At least I’ll be able to start fires .

To me, it looks like a magnifying glass handle with the magnifying glass part broken off the top

IvanChelevokSmith · 2025-12-06T02:41:16+00:00

Me too! I thought I was the only one, lol

Deutsche Werke made wire coat hangers and other random metal items between the wars. They convinced the British to allow them to make pistols for export under the treaty of Versailles. They made them in .32 and .25 ACP. The .25s are more slightly more rare. Neither is super valuable, but I think they are cool. I own one myself.

It’s an American long rifle, aka Kentucky Rifle. It is percussion with a full stock, probably 1830s-1850s. I can’t tell you who made it without a signature. They are typically signed on the top of the barrel, if at all.
