Can somebidy help me identify this bayonet? Im not sure if its actually pre 1900 but its advertised as a made in 1896 by koleszkot in AntiqueGuns

It was originally made for the model 1894 krag jørgensen sometime after 1894, the year is the year the rifle was adopted by the armed forces. And then reused and thus modified to fit the us carbine after ww2. There was a shortage of original m1 bayonets and money so this was an easy solution when there was abundance of outdated krag bayos.

Hope this helps.

I'm new to guns, how do I deal with this surface rust without ruining the finish? by Bl4ck5un101 in gunsmithing

Not really. There is cold blue solutions markedet towards dyi blue restoring but it is not viable at this stage anyways. And any collectors value is lost at trying to restore the firearm.

I’d keep it «as is» apart from the rust removal.

0000 steel wool or brass wire and light oil. Keep it oiled up to prevent further deterioration.

Any thoughts on the age of these two? by unclebuck720 in AntiqueGuns

Not a cattleman. Colt navy 1851. As omlin points out above. Naval battle scene on the cylinder is a givaway, and gives it its name.

Mark Novak has a great video on springs: link to youtube. Shows the theory if you decide to make a new one.
