Firing the Springfield 1842 and using the bayonet in War of Rights.

I think the musket animations in War of Rights are incredibly realistic, so I wanted to share them with you guys.

fun fact : the Springfield Model 1842 is the last smoothbore musket produced by US armories, but the first to utilize the percussion system. Although designed with a thick barrel intended for future rifling

How big is the difference?

How big is the difference between the hand select C grade and the B grade Styer Mannlicher 8x50R from this batch of RTI imports? I want something I can clean and able to shoot without a total overhaul.

Colt First gen U.S. marked

At my local gun shop today I found a number matching 45LC Colt first gen with its factory letter for $1500. I plan on loading some black powder rounds for it and having a blast. Lockup on every cylinder is perfect. It's marked U.S. which it's letter verifies. I'm leaning toward it being a cavalry model.

Antique trapdoor model 1884, made in 1889.

Also featuring my 1932 nagant and my 1903 Krag. Love these guns, I do shoot them when I get the chance. Newest to my collection is the trapdoor.

Musket Identification

I’ve been trying to find out what musket this is but I have absolutely no clue. The trigger is this weird long half circle thing, no marks on the lock, and what I assume is a hand made aluminum end cap on the stock. The butt stock has maybe a date? Anyone have any clue what this thing is?

Rolling Block Identification

Hi All, just picked up this Rolling Block at an auction for $160 including auction fees and tax. It needs some work but have wanted a rolling block for a while and enjoy projects. I am going to slug the barrel and do a chamber cast but according to a basic gauge it is .45 caliber and doesn’t fit 45-70 brass so I preliminarily believe it is in .43 Spanish Reformado but I am not a expert and will defer to those who know more than me. Any information you have I would greatly appreciate! I have attached pictures of all the markings that are on the gun. Thank you so much for reading!

Volksturmgewehr

My dad does security and one night he was patrolling a property when he found a case laying on the ground somewhere on the property in side was a volksturmgewehr he doesn't remember its exact condition but it was handed over to the local police department to see if anyone claims it a few months past and my dad was able to claim ownership because no one else would it appears to be the older model with its primative mag release being a little metal bar but we noticed it does haven't a mainspring and nothing online on what to replace it does anyone know the length diameter and tension off the spring or the weight like how much poundage of resistance

Looking to trade in some firearms, dont want to get ripped off.

My father passed away last year and he had some pretty interesting firearms. I would love to keep them all but im low on space (he left me about 30).

Arisaka type 38 with rifled barrel, school stamped with matching beyonet.

Swiss vetterli 1869/71

Utica arms double barrel

BSW over under 12g manufactured in February 1942 (missing trigger guard)

And a muzzle loader i dont know much about but i suspect it might be a replica.

Just got a lovely little Iver Johnson safety revolver!

I definitely overpaid for it ($195), especially considering the cylinder thread is worn down, But I love it nevertheless! It’s got a nice patina and wear pattern that only comes from years of consistent shooting, and I really like to see old guns that have seen generations of use like that. The store I bought it from had lots of interesting and rare firearms, so maybe I’ll come back later with another.

Unidentified Bolt Action Rifle

Hey recently my dad passed down a bolt action from my his dad to me, neither of us know what it is or what’s it chambered in. If anyone can help that’d be cool. I google searched the image of it and a Reddit forum came up titled “1902 Spanish Mauser - What would you guys offer for it? Asking is 450” Looks like the same gun but google tells me 1902 Spanish Mauser is not the correct name.

Hoping to learn what the guns is and what it’s chambered in.

Thank you Reddit!

Can You ID This Old Pistol?

My great uncle's brother was in the U.S. Indian Police in Indian Territory before it became Oklahoma. Pictures show his gun, holster and badge. Can somebody please ID the make/model of this gun?
