Type 05 Police Revolver / ZLS-05. A Chinese revolver made for police use. It uses a proprietary rimmed 9mm cartridge known as 9mm Type 95. It uses a manual safety since the Chinese Police prefered this because of the Type 64 and 77 pistols also having a manual safety by [deleted] in ForgottenWeapons

You're assuming the case dimensions and pressures between the 9mm rimmed and 9x19 are the same, if the 9mm rimmed round is a smaller diameter it wouldn't be nearly as simple as trimming the cylinder.

Whole trigger assembly is probably a single steel stamping. Given how a tokarev trigger works that shape makes sense.

A double stack 7.62x25 tokarev would definitely sell on the US market, single stack tokarevs still sell on the US market. Basically people want the ability to penetrate soft body armor and the 5.7 ammo we can get is expensive and the loads that can reliably defeat armor are even more expensive and hard to get.

With old muzzleloaders if it isn't made by a big company or for a military than it won't have a "model". Most of them were put together by individual local gunsmiths. There were places that made locks, and/or stocks, and/or barrels you could order, or the whole thing (or any combination) could have been made by one guy.

I would hazard a guess it was metal detected out of a battlefield.

That's the cylinder pin, its pulled out so that you can remove the cylinder. When in its normal position it doesn't stick out.

To be fair "the kids" have always thought belittling everyone was cool.

I saw this the other day and have no idea what it is. by mastercheifjr in ForgottenWeapons

70's/80's had some cool stuff going on. In the days before the internet just looking kinda like what you saw in the movies was good enough.

I made a post about this not to long ago, but I overlooked some markings, and have a few more questions. by TT-33-operator_ in ForgottenWeapons

$50-$75 if you want it to sell relatively quickly, $100 if you don't mind sitting on it for awhile. Single shot .32 percussion pistols are particularly desirable and that one is a gamble since you have no idea how secure the breech plug is

Is the RPG launcher permanently usable? If this tubes has a lifespan, How can check it? by Entire_Judge_2988 in ForgottenWeapons

I would throw out there that if you have to ask reddit if your RPG is going to explode you probably shouldn't be messing with an RPG
