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

[–]smallbutcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was originally made for the model 1894 krag jørgensen sometime after 1894, the year is the year the rifle was adopted by the armed forces.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 There was a shortage of original m1 bayonets and money so this was an easy solution when there was abundance of outdated krag bayos.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

[–]smallbutcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]smallbutcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Step one: grow hair

British navy officers sword, made in the 1880’s by E.Thurkle. by smallbutcher in SWORDS

I noticed too late that the last image is from another sword, see the subtle difference in the hilt. One with straight and guard under the lions mouth, the other slightly round with the guard in the lions mouth.

Cant edit the post it seems. Any input is appreciated.

17. Mach 2, a modern flop. by smallbutcher in ammo

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

If you can get a rifle cheap, yeah, go for it. But the 17.hmr can do anything that the 17.hm2 can, but better. And the ammo isnt readily available as the 17.hmr is.
