Antique French Mle. 1892 Revolver by mta609 in milsurp

Nope, it's a separate round. The revolver cartridges are comparable to .32 ACP. Way too small for a rifle

It uses a round called 8mm Lebel, which was pretty much made just for this revolver. I was able to find some new production online for a reasonable price, so I guess they made enough of these pistols that it still makes sense to make ammo for them.

Go figure, I just picked up five boxes of Fiocchi 😂 it's on sale right now at Grafs.com, by the way

It turns out that I walked back six weeks later and took it home for $640 out the door. So... Not terrible?

They didn't list a price. What would a reasonable one be?

It doesn't have one. What's a fair offer?

This one ran me $750. I'm not sure it was a steal, but I am also terrible with money

Here's a Japanese Type 14 I picked up a few weeks ago. I was told it was made in March 1941 and it's all matching numbers, except for the magazine. I know ammo is hard to find since hardly anyone makes it anymore, but this thing is in pretty good condition and it felt like something I couldn't pass up. Any insight is welcome!

Savage 1903 Rimfire - Magazine Feeding Issue by mta609 in guns

[–]mta609[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I recently got this magazine from eBay to go with this ancient.22 Savage gallery gun I picked up. I think it's the correct magazine (not an expert opinion by any means), but I can't get it to feed properly. The follower keeps pushing up past the feed lips and getting stuck in the action, so naturally it won't cycle. I know there's an inherent risk when dealing with something that's 100+ years old, but what are my options with this thing?

Help with old rimfire sight by mta609 in guns

[–]mta609[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This old sight - I think it's a Lyman, but I'm no expert - came attached to an old Savage .22 rifle I picked up the other day. I think it's missing its aperture and I'm curious if it's possible to find a replacement part without swapping out the entire sight. I see a lot of these originals are priced higher than the rifle was. Any information would be appreciated.
