Bullets have a star headstamp then "3" at the 9 o clock, "51" at the 6 o clock, "10" at the 3 o clock. Ungodly amount of solder around the lip of the can. Ammo is 7.62x54r in bulk paper packets.
I can't find any info on the "D 4 A" headstamp using the Google machine. Stored in Australian bandoliers for 7.62 F4.
*Edit, it's GP11 7.5. Thanks guys!
Dark colored case with a pronounced base. For comparison that's 8mm on the left and 308 on the right.
Hi guys, sorry I've been blowing up this sub today asking for help, but got another question. What is all over the metal on this rifle that looks like it's been painted or coated in a waxy paint like substance? It doesn't interfere with the action or controls which are free and smooth. It feels like it's solidly adhered to the metal.
I've tried to include all the markings I can find visible on the gun.
Stamped 1870 on the top but 1863 on the side.
Another new one for me. I guess they converted these to 7.62x51 which is cool because I have a ton of that in surplus ammo and no 7mm mauser anyway, but the internets hint the conversion process maybe wasn't the best. 🤨 What's the consensus from you experts, shoot it or nah.
I'm trying to identify if this is a commercially produced Centermark Fusil or if it was put together from parts by someone. No serials or other numbers that I can find, although I don't know if Centermark did serials. Any easy way to determine the caliber?
Thanks!
Sorting surplus 7.62x25 and found a bunch of "nny". Internet says this particular ammo is actually non-corrosive but is that true?
*Update: found some in it's original box so I was able to track it down. Yugoslavia surplus, corrosive.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Unfortunately I can't find any visible markings.
Hi folks. Just came across this gun in my father's collection and I'm not at all familiar with it. It looks to be a Pietta originally in .36 but converted to cartridge by someone. .36 has been struck by a line on the barrel and stamped "38" but no other info. .38 special is too long (only .38 caliber I had for reference) so would it be .38 Long Colt? If anyone can guess if this was a conversion kit or home job or what I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!
Can someone give me an idea of the real going rate for this stuff? The military surplus stuff packaged like the photo. I'm not sure where people are buying it so not sure where to track prices. Sorry for being dumb and thanks in advance!
Hi Guys, I was asking a while back about finding the value of two inherited Webley revolvers.
The first is in .455 (not converted to .45) and is stamped on the top "Cox and Son's" with an address in Southhampton. Internet says that was possibly a retailer that sold the gun originally. Serial in the #125xxx range.
The second is the .38 S&W, no idea when it was produced or anything about it. It has a butt style that I haven't seen on other Webleys and serial is a #94xxx number. I can tell it's not a war finish but that's about all I can tell.
Both are in great shape. Any ideas on how to further identify them would be appreciated. Thanks!
***Not a for sale post.
Hi folks, I've inherited a couple Webley's I'm trying to value. One in 38sw and one in .455. I've tried scrolling gunbroker and some others but the prices are all over the place. I have access to the guns and all the serials, proofs, markings, etc to try and help isolate when they were produced if anyone knows how to interpret them. If this isn't the best sub and you could point me to a better one I would appreciate that too. I just want to get a fair idea of their value.
***And because I'm sick of getting banned from subs the damn things are NOT for sale on Reddit, not asking for buyers, not trying to setup any transactions via Reddit, near Reddit, on the same day I've been on Reddit, yada yada yada.****
I inherited all my father's reloading supplies after his passing including a lot of different types of black, smokeless, and what-not powders. How on earth do I sell this stuff? How do I sell all this reloading stuff and not get taken...
