We would be glad to answer any questions about the items we offer. If you don't have e-mail To place an order, click here. We have divided this catalog into several sections: Miscellaneous Neat Stuff 15643 WINCHESTER MODEL 97 SHOTGUN BARREL 12 GA - Barrel is 29 inches long and marked at the breech “FULL” but I suspect the choked portion was cut off long ago from a more common 30 inch length, so it probably is cylinder bore now. Bore is excellent, but chamber has some light surface rust. Exterior looks crummy with some moderate rusting and blue mostly turned to plum or patina mixed with rust. Some dinging and diddling where the magazine retaining band attaches. Winchester markings pretty good. Complete with the extension piece and the headspace adjusting piece and screw. Will clean up okay on the outside with maybe a little fine pitting in a few places, but overall pretty decent if refinished. Great for a cowboy action shooter to turn into a “riot gun” or for a reenactor to chop down to regulation length for a trench gun so you don’t have to booger up a really nice original barrel. (Remember, all shotgun barrels must be at least 18 inches long or the BATF gets VERY unhappy!) $0.00 (View Picture) 15459 U.S. MODEL 1917A1 MACHINE GUN MOUNT ASSEMBLY (TRIPOD, CRADLE, PINTLE AND T&E MECHANISM) - Genuine U.S. issue, and all original, COMPLETE WITH the pintle and the T&E (traversing and elevation) mechanism . Not a pile of salvaged scrap that someone welded back together and made up parts to fill in what was missing, like many being sold today. The tripod assembly is marked on the steel rear leg plate “MOUNT, TRIPOD, M1917A1 [serial number hard to read] EVOY Co. 1943” and the center hub is stamped MOUNT, TRIPOD, M1917A2 [The A2 indicates a slightly longer rear leg, but everyone refers to these as M1917A1 anyway]. Tripod retains about 80-90% of its military OD paint, showing normal wear, chipping and scraping. The leather strap on the rear leg to secure the legs together in transit is missing. Cradle assembly has a sort of parkerized type finish with about 95% or more remaining. Everything is working and not rusted or bent or binding. This is a NICE mount assembly that is COMPLETE and ready for display, or use (if you are the lucky owner of a legal M1917A1 Browning!). Again, this is a nice one, not salvaged junk like some being sold. $2350.00 (View Picture) 15624 M1903 SPRINGFIELD RECOIL BOOT FOR GRENADE LAUNCHING - Black rubber with two foam inserts. Butt has large U.S. ordnance bomb and drawing number B200968 cast in place. Rubber is not split like so many, but please do not try to stretch it to install it on a rifle. (Special- add a mint unissued grenade launcher sight M15, with mounting plate and instructions for only $10 if you get the recoil boot) These are original WW2 US GI items, not the repro boots being sold in some places. $49.00 (View Picture) 15405 GRENADE LAUNCHER SIGHT INSTALLATION JIG - Used to properly align the M15 Grenade Launcher sight on the M1 Carbine, and M1 rifles, and later used with the M14 as well, although obviously not something they had in mind when these were made during WW2. Mint unissued. These were packed one to a crate of 100 Grenade Launcher sights, and seldom appear on the collector market these days. First one we have had in several years. $65.00 (View Picture) 15372 RARE "GRENADE LAUNCHER, M1" FOR M1903 SPRINGFIELD - First of these we have had in many years, and very seldom seen for sale anywhere. This is the WW2 era "spigot" type, not the WW1 "cup type” for the “VB" grenade. The invention of the "shaped charge" which could be launched as a rifle grenade was the first viable method for infantry troops to stop enemy tanks. This type grenade launcher was adapted for the M1903 rifle and issued early in WW2, and remained in use until the end of the war. You will often see photos of a squad of troops where everyone has a M1 Garand except for one guy who has the M1903 Springfield, specifically for use launching grenades. The M7 grenade launcher for the M1 Garand was not developed until mid 1943, reaching the field many months later, after they redesigned the gas cylinder lock screw with a poppet valve so the greater pressure firing a rifle grenade would not destroy the gas cylinder. Both rifles used the same type grenades, and the launcher bodies were very similar, but wth different methods of attaching to the barrel. This one is nicely marked on the body "U.S. Rifle .30 M1903A1" and was made specifically for the M1903 rifles (including the M1903 and M1903A3, even though they only marked M1903A1). A nearly identical launcher, the M2, was made for the M1917 rifles, and some of those were modified for use with the M1903 rifles and had the M1917 marking overstamped “03” and issued with M1903 rifles. The Grenade Launcher M1 was standardized September 9, 1941, and made limited standard December 21, 1944. Some 322,892 were made between November 1941 and June 1943 by Knapp Monarch company but few have survived to meet the collector demand. This example has been used, and the "bore" is rusty and pitted. The front inch or so is blackened from firing, but the rest has about 90% of the original parkerized finish. However, there are some pipe wrench scars around the rear where someone needed help twisting it free from the muzzle. They could be dressed up with a few file strokes and touched up with some cold blue to be less noticeable. A great addition to a M1903, or WW2 collection or even a specialized collection of grenade launchers. Extremely hard to find and we probably will not be lucky enough to have another for sale for a long time. $750.00 (View Picture) 15250 U.S. M1907 leather sling 1918 dated - A good representative example to put on any U.S> WW1 or WW2 rifle or combat shotgun. (WW1 era slings were issued in large numbers during WW2). Sharp maker markings HOYT/1918 and inspector initials on both straps. Overall dark brown color with the leather pretty flexible, and having been treated with Pecard. Shows the usual cracking and some flaking at the flex points at the holes where it bends the most. Great for display with an 80% or better condition gun, but consider the leather too age weakened for actual use. $145.00 (View Picture) 15115 LOT OF 3 POWDER HORNS- 1 ANTIQUE 2 RECENT - The antique horn is the “flattened” type and is fitted with a powder measure top for overall length about 10 inches. This has a pair of screw eyes for a cotton carrying cord. There is a band of soft leather wrapped around the front. Overall good condition, showing use and age, and will display nicely with any old muzzle loader. One copper ring that attaches the cord to the screw eye is a replacement. The other two horns (8.5 inches and 12 inches overall) are modern made. The smaller one has a crack on the bottom but still looks okay. The lot of all three for $69.00 (View Picture) 15009 WINCHESTER WINCHOKE CHOKE TUBE- 12 GA IMPROVED CYLINDER - Genuine Winchester manufacture, new old stock, never used. In the factory plastic container with instructions. 12 GA Improved Cylinder choke. If you want more than one, we may have more, just ask. $15.00 (View Picture) 15006 WINCHESTER WINCHOKE CHOKE TUBE- 20 GA IMPROVED CYLINDER - Genuine Winchester manufacture, new old stock, never used. In the factory plastic container with instructions. 20 GA Improved Cylinder choke. If you want more than one, we may have more, just ask. $15.00 (View Picture) 14657 Lot of miscellaneous Springfield parts (musket, trapdoor, Krag, M1903) - What you see is what you get. The Krag muzzle cover, and front sight, work and ball screw at the bottom are reproduction, the rest original, used and overall average is about G-VG. $50.00 (View Picture) 14723 U.S. NAVY .30 CALIBER BORE SIGHT SET (circa 1940?) - Lot of seven pieces that seem to screw together in some fashion. Drawing/part numbers on most of the pieces. Made by Bell & Howell. Ink stamped US and anchor inspector markings on one or two of the pieces. Clearly identified on one of the parts as “BREECH SIGHT” and the stepped shiny silver piece is marked “CAL .30”. I think that these were used to align late 1930s/early WW2 vintage US Navy aircraft machine guns with the pilot (or gunner?)’s sights in the cockpit or external sights. Remember, the Navy was still using many .30 BMGs in aircraft as late as 1942, although the .50 BMGs replaced them on the front line aircraft. A treasure for someone, but not much practical use that I can think of. Maybe good for playing doctor with your neighbor’s cat? The whole lot as shown for $75.00 (View Picture) 13822 MAUSER SPIGOT TYPE GRENADE LAUNCHER - A scarce accessory for the South American Mauser collector! This is a “spigot” type grenade launcher for the Brazilian M1908 or M1908/34 rifles. Probably dates to 1942 or later as it is similar to the U.S. grenade launchers for the Garand, etc with the range rings, and coiled spring on the end to tension the grenade in position. Marked FABRICA DE ITAJUBA, indicating manufacture at the well known Brazilian arsenal at Itajuba. Overall near excellent with about 95% original gray parkerized finish, but needing a good cleaning. Have only ever encountered two of these. Of course, we cannot sell these to unfortunate folks who live in Kalifornia, New York, Mass, Maryland, or Illinois, or other places run by idiots who ban these. $75.00 (View Picture) 13820 MAUSER "VB" TYPE GRENADE LAUNCHER (AGRJ) - A scarce accessory for the South American Mauser collector! The VB or cup style grenade launcher was widely used in WW1, and some remained in use with the U.S. Marine Corps at the start of WW2, although the Army seems to have dropped them in the 1930s. This launcher is for the Brazilian Model 1908 or 1908/34 Mauser rifles. It slips down over the muzzle and the lock ring will hold it in place after the launcher is back against the front sight. I am pretty sure these were used with VB type grenades,and in that case, a ball cartridge was used, and there was a hole in the central axis of the grenade so that as the bullet passed through the grenade, that allowed the gas pressure behind it to throw the grenade several hundred yards. (I may be mistaken and perhaps they used a special blank type cartridge and a grenade with a base plate, as in British service. I have not seen any references on this rare rig to confirm either type.) I have two of these launchers, differing only in markings. This one is marked AGRJ over 1938, presumably the date and something like Arsenal Guerre Rio de Janiero. The other is not dated and marked AGGC. Overall in need of a good cleaning, but with about 85-90% original blue finish remaining. Only examples of these I have ever seen. $150.00 (View Picture) 13800 ADAPTOR TO CONVERT “PINEAPPLE” FRAG GRENADE TO RIFLE GRENADE - Adaptor, Grenade Projection M1A2, [lot no] 1945 date marked in yellow on OD with 1969 modfication to change from four clips to 3 clips, but displays nicely for WW2 through Vietnam era. Mint, unissued unit. These allowed use of Mark II "Pineapple" grenade to be fired longer distances as a rifle grenade for anti personnel use. Totally inert and harmless, but still cannot ship to Kalifornia or other places run by idiot politicians. $18.00 (View Picture) 6965 REMINGTON LETTERS - Professionally made sign letters REMINGTON in reflective silver color face on 1 inch thick foam type base. Edges are flat black color. Font is appropriate to that used by this maker. These were made for a large retail gun shop that closed before these were delivered. Their loss is your gain, and cost to have these made would be quite high. Overall about 50" wide by about 6" tall. These can be mounted with adhesive, or screws to a backboard of some type for use with your display, or to identify an area within your hopefully large gunroom. These are very light, and for temporary display at a show, you could probably get away with doubled over tape. New never used, but may have a few tiny surface scratches but these will not be noticeable from a few feet away. The set of letters- $35.00 (View Picture) 13489 VIETNAM ERA VCI STORAGE BAG FOR M1 CARBINE (LOT OF 5) - Heavy treated fabric with foil type lining. Bag is wedge shaped, 8.5” wide opening at the large end and 3” wide at the muzzle end, 39 inches long. These fit the M1 carbine, but not the M16 rifles. Paper liner is kraft color on one side, and has the flaky white VCI (vapor corrosion inhibiting) treated paper liner. Packed in bag of 50 with ID label: 1005-336-0226, Bag, barrier w/VCI treated liner per DWG. B7265931 with 8/66 date and maker info and contract number (see photo).

Bag is wedge shaped, 8.5” wide opening at the large end and 3” wide at the muzzle end, 39 inches long. These fit the M1 carbine, but not the M16 rifles.

Full sealed bag of 50 for $50.00 (View Picture) 13407 AK-47 75 ROUND DRUM MAGAZINE AND CARRYING CASE - Should fit any of the AK-47 type variations. Excellent- appears unused. Chinese “Factory 36” triangular marking is the only mark. These are very similar in design to the old Thompson SMG drum magazines. The rear cover is removed, loose cartridges loaded into a series of compartments with the tips resting in spiral guides. The cover is closed, and a key on the back is wound up to provide spring tension to turn the guts of the drum. Of course, we cannot sell this to people living in places run by idiots who outlaw high capacity magazines, such as Illinois, Kalifornia, Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, and some cities in Ohio and Indiana. $195.00 (View Picture) 13406 AK47 ACCESSORY LOT- FOUR 7.62 X 39MM 30 ROUND MAGAZINE AND - carrying case and tools Four magazines, one by Poly, the other three also made in China with importer mark CJA SFLD, MI. Three are new and one is used excellent. Pouch is excellent. Plastic oiler with Chinese characters and a combination tool are also included. Everything in the photo for only $80.00 (View Picture) 13260 LOT OF HERTERS ITEMS (RELOAD GEAR, GUN SUPPLIES) - Back about 1960 or so Herters of Waseca, MN burst upon the outdoors trade and began offering very nice quality stuff at reasonable prices, primarily as catalog/mail order sales, sort of a predecessor to today’s Cabelas stores. They offered everything from reloading gear and fishing lures to canoes and snowshoes, gun stocks, rifles and revolvers made withtheir name (by Hammerli and BSA I believe) and all sorts of related items. Most were advertised as word famous, old European master craftsman designed, none better, etc, etc. This is a nice assortment from an estate. One set .30-30 reloading dies, a #8 shell holder, a flat nose seating stem for .45 ACP, a recoil pad, two boxes of .22-.25 caliber cleaning patches and two boxes .38-45 cal patches. All fine to excellent, with superb boxes. A neat collecting niche. The lot for only $25.00 (View Picture 13258 OLD PRESSED HORN POWDER HORN, LEATHER COVERED - Probably circa 1840-1870. This is the only think like this I have seen. Leather cover is machine stitched. Under the leather you can feel the stiffness from a pressed horn (or perhaps a wooden or metal body in the traditional pressed horn shape). Overall length including the wooden peg plug about 9 inches. Mouth has a wooden spool type piece which is somewhat loose, and you don’t want to push it down inside and try to figure how to get it back in position. (Trust me!) Leather has been oiled, and is scuffed and flaking. Used good overall. $69.00 (View Picture) 13251 LOT OF 2 AMMO CANS FOR GARAND COLLECTOR (M2 BALL IN CARTONS AND - 8 round clips) - One “.50 cal” can stenciled for 400 rounds .30 Ball M2 in cartons and one “.30 cal” can for .30 Ball M2 in 8 round clips and bandoleers. Used fine to excellent. Nice for display with Garands to show some of the many variations of ammo and packing used to keep these fine rifles in service. In addition, these are wonderful for storing ammo, parts, accessories, or whatever need to be in a airtight, watertight container that is easily stacked. $15.00 (View Picture) 13248 LOT OF 2 AMMO CANS FOR GARAND COLLECTOR (M2 BALL AND MATCH T291) - One “.50 cal” can stenciled for 400 rounds .30 Ball M2 in cartons and one “.30 cal” can for .30 Match T291 in 8 round clips. Used fine to excellent. Nice for display with Garands to show some of the many variations of ammo and packing used to keep these fine rifles in service. In addition, these are wonderful for storing ammo, parts, accessories, or whatever need to be in a airtight, watertight container that is easily stacked. $15.00 (View Picture) 13228 LYMAN BULLET MOLD HANDLES - I an pretty sure these are the "small" size for single cavity molds. These are the classic old desin about 20-40 years old, but look about new, unused, with just a few tiny traces of surface rust from long storage. Only one pair available. $22.00 (View Picture) 12943 High Standard Model 104 papers - Excellent condition- set of four documents including warranty card (not filled out), parts diagram, service locatioin sheet and hunting and shooting sportsmanship. Perfect for completing a "new in the box" set. $10.00 (View Picture) 12452 "Commando Arms" stock assembly for M1 Carbine - A fairly sexy looking outfit that you can just drip your M1 carbine barreled action into and make it look scary like a Thompson Submachine gun. This is basically an aluminum casting with the main part to hold the action, and two vertical grips. The buttstock is a genuine surplus M1928 Thompson buttstock that quickly comes off with the press of a button. Also included is an extra long trigger pin, which just slips in to replace the short standard pin which will wiggle loose causing problems if you use it. I am always somewhat mystified about why anyone would want one of these, but I promise I will not side with your spouse if you decide you need this. Of course the obsessive Carbine Collector needs one of these, after all it is shown on pages 797-799 of Larry Ruth's War Baby Volume 2. Used but except for one or two tiny scrapes on the edges of the black crackle paint finish it looks like new. $195.00 (View Picture) 12232 M1861 SPRINGFIELD .58 CALIBER MUSKET BARREL (ORIGINAL)BARREL - Excellent bore, and nice outside although markings not visible. Full length, not cut down. Bubba apparently needed a flintlock barrel, so he milled off the bolster on the right side. Someone handy with tools (like a lathe) could turn down the breech and install one of the cast steel breech sections sold by S&S for about $23 and use this as the basis for a skirmish rifle. I just don't have the time or skill, or a lathe to tackle this project that has been hanging around for several years. Front sight has been altered slightly to add a pinned blade. $125.00 (View Picture) 11371 Flash hider for .50 Browning Machine gun (M2 HB) - Looks like it is all there, but not sure so what you see is what you get. Great addition to your dummy gun on your jeep. $15.00 (View Picture) 10821 RCBS .45-110 SHARPS STRAIGHT 2 7/8" THREE DIE SET - Gently used, but you would probably not be able to tell. Retail on these top quality dies is about $220.00 , but you will save a bundle on these. $99.00 (View Picture) 10793 81MM MORTAR ACCESSORIES (SIGHT, SIGHT CASE) - Sight and brown leather carrying case are used VG with a sloppy recent paint job on the sight itself. Besides the numerous graduation markings for the adjusting knobs, the only maker or property mark noted is a crossed cannon over FBO logo. This sight has a dovetail that fits on the bipod for setting the tube angle to the desired degree for the range desired. $95.00[Note- This will not be sold until the 81mm Mortar buyer decides if they would like to purchase this at the same time.] (View Picture) 10686 LEATHER KEEPERS FOR MILITARY SLINGS - New made, good quality workmanship using tan leather with double row stitching, just like the originals, not cheap stapled or riveted junk. Two were used on the M1907 leather slings. (Will also work on the M1885 slings for Krags or Trapdoors). $2.00 each, or 3 for $5.00 or 20 for $25.00 postage included. (View Picture) 10483 CANVAS SWAN DECOY (by Jimmy Garrett?). - Probably from the sounds of North Carolina, or perhaps the Chesapeake Bay region (which is where it was purchased about 20 years ago. Wood board bottom with a keel piece. Nine wire frames covered by canvas. Graceful carved wooden neck and head is made in two pieces with the joint opening slightly from age. White paint on the body has lots of age cracks that add character. Probably made in 1970s or 80s, and the "JG" on the bottom is believed to be the mark of Jimmy Garrett, a retired Coast Guardsman and hunting guide from Currituck, NC. We think he is still alilve (as of 2004) andmaking decoys, although now legally blind. A friendly looking collectible bird that can be used in various decorative arrangements in the house, porch, or gun room. (Size about 25" long by 11" wide by 15' tall. The wood base is 11" x 21"). $275.00 (View Picture) 8522 OILER FOR ???? - Owner claims this is for the .45 squad cleaning kit, but I suspect it is some sort of forign oiler that some industrious scoundrel upgraded by adding US 1913 markings in black ink, and then varnished over to keep it from rubbing off. Body is 3 1/8" diameter at the widest point, 1 1/8" thick and overall length is 5 1/4". Color is light sandy khaki, not OD. May be rare treasure, or not, but I do know the price is still $20.00 (View Picture) 7771 U.S. .30 CALIBER KRAG BULLET MOLD- Five cavity mold for round balls for use in gallery practice firing of the Krag. It was intended that the lead balls would be cast at the unit level and reloaded locally for use on indoor ranges. Brass body with blued steel sprue cutter. Bottom marked FRANKFORD ARSENAL .30 caliber 1901 O.M.L. Some rust on the sprue cutter, but about 75% blue remains. Wooden handles in fine shape. Some bumps and bruises on the brass, but overall fine-excellent. $175.00 (View Picture) 7427 M60 MG PINTLE ASSEMBLY - If you are the Rambo type who just grabs the M60 and does not bother with sissy mounts, you don't need these. Everyone else does. This is the part that slips into the "pintle socket" on whatever type mount is being used, allowoing the gun to swing from side to side and up and down. I believe that the socket dimensions are the same on nearly all US machine guns. The upper part of the assembly is a yoke that is setup to snap onto 5/16" diameter studs on the M60 receiver. Early .30 BMGs used a heavier yoke with a large bolt that more or less permanently secured the gun to the pintle. While perfect for mounting your real (proper licensed) M60 or a dummy, this is an affordable starting point for someone who wants to made a dummy gun of some sort to mount on a vehicle or ground mount for display purposes. Steel with dark gray parkerize finish. Mint, unissued, NSN 1005 00 945 9756. $79.00 (View Picture) 6941 BROWNING LETTERS - Professionally made sign letters BROWNING in reflective black color face on 1 inch thick foam type base. Edges are flat black color. Font is appropriate to that used by this maker. These were made for alarge retail gun shop that closed before these were delivered. Their loss is your gain, and cost to have these made would be quite high. Overall about 53" wide by about 8 1/4" tall. These can be mounted with adhesive, or screws to a backboard of some type for use with your display, or to identify an area within your hopefully large gunroom. These are very light, and for temporary display at a show, you could probably get away with doubled over tape. New never used, but may have a few tiny surface scratches but these will not be noticeable from a few feet away. The set of letters- $59.00 (View Picture) 6940 RUGER LETTERS - Professionally made sign letters RUGER in reflective silver color face on 1 inch thick foam type base. Edges are flat black color.

Brass hinges some slight damage on bottom where holes have been drilled for some sort of mounting screws. Dark blue lining (lining has small tear in left hand front corner. Size is 14.25 x 7.25 x 2.25 will fit most small and medium sized handguns with room to spare for a cleaning kit or ammo. $25.00 (View Picture) 5858 [RIFLE MATCH] CAVALRY SCORE BOOK 1937 - "This book is compiled by The Cavalry Rifle Team for its own use. Changes for windage and elevation are taken from actual firing experience and fire control tables for Cal..30 M-1 ammunition." Black printing on heavy card stock cover. Two binding rings hold book together with about 30-40 pages of different colors for different ranges and courses of fire from 200 to 1000 yards. No entries. Fewer pages than other one Ihave, so assume that used pages were removed. Number 1314400 marked on the cover- which is in a long run of heavy barrel "T" model M1903 Springfields, Nice item to go with a M1903 National match rifle of the mid 1930s, especially a "T" if you have one of those. Overall excellent but rings have surface rust. $49.00 (View Picture) 2502WH15 Reloading Dies- .41 Magnum- Three die set, carbide dies (no lube required). Compete with shell holder. Made by Lee. Appear to be new unused in plastic holder. $24.00
11540 U.S. ORDNANCE KIT, GAUGES, ARMORER'S SMALL ARMS - Issued in a metal box, similar to a bank safe deposit box, with two wooden trays with cutouts to hold the various inspection gauges needed by ordnance personnel to work on most of the .22 through .50 caliber small arms in service circa WW2. These sets are shown in Brophy's 1903 Springfield book, pages 528-529, and there apparently were minor variations in the contents over the years. Set includes all three .30-06 headspace gages (1.940, 1.946, 1.950) and breech bore gages and field test bolts for both the M1903 and M1 rifles. Also a .50 BMG breechbore gauge and a couple of others. Missing are a set of feeler gages, two extensions for the depth mike, two .50 BMG chamber gages, two .22 headspace gauges, .30 BMG timing gage, and a M1 rifle firing pin protrusion gage, and maybe two or three other small items (bore reflectors?) Most items are used, excellent free from rust or damage. What you see is what you get. I have put small cards into the slots where items are missing to identify what goes there. This is only the fifth of these sets I have ever seen for sale. Neat for anyone but a necessity for the truly addicted collector. $1150.00 (View Picture) 15051 BRITISH RIFLE GRENADE LAUNCHER FOR NO. 4 MARK I LEE ENFIELD - Officially the "Projector (No. 4 Rifle) Mark 5" these were adopted in 1952 along with a Mark 4 version which differed only in the details of the sight divisions. See Skennerton pages 359-362 for details on these. Prior to the adoption of missiles as the primary anti-tank weapon, the rifle grenade was a necessary item in the infantry squad, with some bazookas scattered in larger units. It took a very brave soldier indeed to wait for a tank to get within about 25, 50, 75 or 100 yards (the sight graduations) before firing at it with a rifle grenade. Just collecting different rifle grenade launchers would be a very interesting niche, with a wide variety to seek, some common, orthers very scarce. Some are integral with the rifle, but most are detachable. They date from WW1 to the present, and I can think or at least a dozen made just for U.S. military rifles. Of course, your spouse will understand the necessity for getting a suitable rifle after you acquire a great launcher. (NOTE: this cannot be sold or shipped to places run by idiots like Kalifornia, New York, Massachusetts or any other city or state where prohibited..) Overall used fine with most of the black painted finish. $49.00 (View Picture) 15038 KRAG- MODEL 1894 SCREWDRIVER - (Mallory KRS2 page 151). Two blades with stubby punch, marked US on face of one blade. Poor condition example with no finish, and lots of pitting left after heavy cleaning. Wish it were a nicer example, but this is the first we have found in 2 years. Hard to find item in any condition. $35.00 (View Picture) 15018 GUN TOOL- BRITISH HOTCHKISS MACHINE GUN? - Dorsey & Shaffer Gun Tools, vol 2, page 181, tentatively identifies it as being for the Briths Mark I (M1909) .303 caliber machine gun, although they list it is "unidientified." This is nearly the same gun as the U.S. M1909 Benet-Mercie gun. They only show photos of this tool, and did not have dimensions to list, so probably did not have an example in hand when they wrote the book. Tool is blued steel, unmakred except for a possible small broad arrow (or ding from something being dropped?) Overall length is 9 1/8" and width about 1 3/4" and it is 1/4" thick. A treasure someone has been searching for---we hope. $40.00 (View Picture) 15014 .30 CARBINE HEADSPACE GAGE- 1.298 REJECT - With U.S. Ordnance Department markings. Used excellent. We found two GI carbine headspace gages, the forst loose ones I have seen in at least 10 years. If you need a gage for actual use, Brownells sells excallent new production gages for much less, but if you are a compuslive collector, here you go! Note that this one was originally intended to end up a longer gage, but was finished as a 1.298" so the mnarkings were altered to reflect that. A real prize for the collector of carbine trivia! $125.00 (View Picture) 15013 .30 CARBINE HEADSPACE GAGE- 1.300 REJECT - With U.S. Ordnance Department markings. Used excellent. We found two GI carbine headspace gages, the forst loose ones I have seen in at least 10 years. If you need a gage for actual use, Brownells sells excallent new production gages for much less, but if you are a compuslive collector, here you go! $125.00 (View Picture) 14613 M1903 SPRINGFIELD RECOIL BOOT FOR GRENADE LAUNCHING - Black rubber with two foam inserts. Butt has large U.S. ordnance bomb and drawing number B200968 cast in place. Rubber is not split like so many, but please do not try to stretch it to install it on a rifle. (Special- add a mint unissued grenade launcher sight M15, with mounting plate and instructions for only $10 if you get the recoil boot) These are original WW2 US GI items, not the repro boots being sold in some places. $49.00 (View Picture) 14280 U.S. MODEL 1885 SLING FOR TRAPDOORS OR KRAGS - Has “set” from being installed on a trapdoor, so it would be best to display it on one of those. This is the later issue with the thicker brass claw. The other end is doubled over the swivel on the trigger guard and secured with a brass stuff. Leather is nice medium to dark brown color, and pretty flexible. Good Rock Island Arsenal markings. One of the best we have found in several years. Most are very dry and cracked and flaking. None of these old slings are sturdy enough for actual use any longer, but are needed to display the rifle in the issued configuration. I probably should keep this for my own collection. $195.00 (View Picture) 14103 M1903 SPRINGFIELD "ARMS REPAIR CHEST" - Very scare accessory for the M1903 Springfield. Officially the Arms Repair Chest Model of 1910, this was adopted as part of the massive 1910 Infantry Equipment program. It is shown in Brophy (pages 525 and 526) and in Form Number 1718 Description of the Infantry Equipment Model of 1910. I have only seen two of these in all my years of collecting, and this was in my collection for about 25 years until I found one with all the partitions intact. As can be seen in the photo, the partitions have been removed, but if you are handy with woodworking you could duplicate them. Email if you would like a set of detailed photos showing the details of the partitions. These are nearly the same as the very common Arms Repair Chest Model of 1917 for the 1917 “Enfields” but the interior arrangement is completely different. This one has mostly illegible remnants of the label glued to the inside of the cover (actually two different dated versions with the newer one on top) confirming this is the chest for the M1903 Springfields. $149.00 (View Picture) 14053 BRISTLE BRUSH AND PULL THROUGH (THONG) FOR M1903 OILERS - Used fine to new old stock condition. One end of the nickel plated brass (or later plastic) "oiler and thong case" used in the butt of the M1903, M1917 and M1 rifles was for holding oil, with a built in applicator on the cap. The other end was to hold a "pull through" or thong with two metal weights connected by a piece of cord. Troops would drop one weight down the barrel of their rifle and attach a brush or patch to the other part and pull it through the barrel for cleaning under field conditions. The thong (or pull through) was carried in the other end of the oiler along with a short bristle bore brush (standard brass brushes are too long to fit). These are often missing, but we found a few loose ones for you if you need a set. One brush and one thong(pull through) for $6.00 (View Picture) 13752 Box and papers for S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman 6 inch - Blue box is fair to good, displays okay, but blue outer layer is slightly damaged along the bottom of the lid and there is residue from some scotch tape on the face of the box. Papers all seem to be correct for this model, matching the faded label on the end. Good for storage, or as a trade item so you can keep your good box. $10.00 (View Picture) 13738 BIPOD AND M3 CASE FOR M16 RIFLE - Carrying case is nylon construction marked on the back: CASE, BIPOD M3-12002974. Bipod appears to be mint unissued with the original wrapping paper (a bit ratty from being opened and reqwrapped) which had 1985 date. Bipod is not marked in any way, and has one spot of light rust as shown in the photo. Nice addition to a Desert Storm era collection or for any collection with an AR-15/M16. $65.00 (View Picture) 13679 U.S. GRENADE LAUNCHER SIGHT, M15 USED FROM WW2 THROUGH VIETNAM ERA - Grenade Launcher Sight M15- mint unissued complete with instructions/range table, mounting plate (with screws) and 1944 dated web carrying pouch. These were issued with the M1903 Springfield, M1 Garand and M14 rifles and the M1 Carbine. These attach on the left side of the stock which requires drilling two holes. Please do not mess up a good stock by mounting this on your favorite rifle. Go out and pick up a junky stock with some repairs or something instead for this purpose. The whole sight assembly, just as it left the factory in 1944, never issued. $12.00 (View Picture) 13581 LOT OF OUTERS BRAND GUN CLEANING ITEMS- SUPERB CONDITION - I guess there are some people who collect just cleaning stuff, but these would also be great with a display of 1950s-early 60s vintage sporting arms. Every one of these looks just brand new, never used with excellent boxes (except oil cans- no boxes). Several have old price tags on them. Lot includes a cleaning rod (.22 cal); bottle of Gunslick cleaning solvent; 3 boxes of patches (.22, .30 and shotgun or #1, #2 and #5 outers designation); two cans of gun oil. Just drippy mint stuff, not leftovers from a greasy workshop. The whole lot for only $25.00 (View Picture) 13535 LOT OF 3 COMBINATION TOOL HANDLES FOR M10 TOOL FOR THE M1 GARAND - New old stock, some still in the original wrapping. Add four rod sections and a tip to make the complete M10 tool that fits in the butt of the Garand. This little tool handle is an ingenious design that has large and small screwdrivers for buttplate screws and gas cylinder lock screw, with hole in handle so you can insert a rod section for greater leverage. Other end of tool is used to disassemble and reassemble the bolt by easing the bolt forward against the tool inserted in the chamber and then roatating the tool with the rod section (in the center pivot this time) and the bolt comes apart with no sweat and no lost parts. Reassembly is just the reverse. We only have the handles but the rod sections and tips are same as used with the M14 and fairly common. Lots of cheap imitation M1 Garand cleaning rods have been sold with crude commercial handles that lack the bolt disassembly and screwdriver features, so you can upgrade those. Lot of three handles for $29.00 (View Picture) 12718 M1 GARAND CLIPS (12 EACH) - 12 US GI M1 Garand clips, used excellent to new condition. Enough to fill two bandoleers or one cartridge belt (with two left over) $12.00 (View Picture) 13135 U.S. MAINSPRING VISE FOR M1816-1840 MUSKETS - Unlike the common M1855 vise which has arms of nearly equal length, this has one of the vise arms much longer than the other to support the longer mainspring used in the pre-percussion muskets. We have seen hundreds (thousands?) of the M1855 vises, but less than a handful of these in 30 years of collecting. If you “need” one of everything, then you “need” this! (Yes, I already have one!) Shown in Dorsey Gun Tools, page 247. Overall excellent with about 85-90% of the case hardened/blued finish. $135.00 (View Picture) 12867 M1903 SPRINGFIELD COMBINATION TOOL - Officially "Screwdriver, rifle, 5560438" with three screwdriver blades and a pin punch. There are several variations of these for the truly obsessed collector to pursue. These are new in the wrap, made by National Slug Rejector (NSR) and repacked in 1955 at Rock Island Arsenal, which actually just involved taping a new label in place with new stock number information. Mint unissued. $18.00 (View Picture) 12700 M1 GARAND CLIPS (12 EACH) - 12 US GI M1 Garand clips, used excellent to new condition. Enough to fill two bandoleers or one cartridge belt (with two left over) $15.00 10226 CLEANING ROD, M3 FOR M1 GARAND (D35420) - Aluminum handle with one piece rod and a detachable tip section so it can also be used with the brass bore brushes. Exposed portion of the rod is about 15.6" long. Unlike the multi-section rods carried in canvas cases in the field (prior to the adoption of the M10 tool where everyone had their own cleaning rod), the M3 rod was intended for use in camp or at maintenance facilities. Listed in Billy Pyle's excellent "Ordnance Tools, Accessories & Appendages of the M1 Rifle" on page 33. Every Garand collector needs one of these for their collection, or for use, as the length is "just right." Have some with heavy rounded aluminum handles, and others with the thin frame aluminum handles, but of course the enthusiastic collector needs one of each. Mint unissued. $35.00 (View Picture) U.S. ORDNANCE HEADSPACE GAGESUsed with M1 or M1903 rifles these were in various repair kits at ordnance activities. Used VG- excellent. The three standard sizes for use with the M1 rifles were 1.940" minimum, 1.946" maximum and 1.950" field reject, but they were also made in intermediate sizes which are pretty scarce. We have these sizes available, one of each) (View Picture)

(Tape cut on end of box to peek in). Nice clean box with clear markings. These are great rods for heavy duty cleaning and take regular size brush threads. $18.00 679 U.S. M1855 Tumbler punch (Dorsey p. 254 top) - Correct way to separate hammer from tumbler on muskets and trapdoors, and to remove bandsprings. Marked "US" on one leg. Used excellent, 95% original blue, with some rusty spots. $22.00 5576 KRAG 3 PIECE CLEANING ROD & OILER SET - Rifles and carbines made after early 1896 had three holes in the butt trap for cleaning rods, and shortly later additional inletting was added for a nickel plated oiler. Even with three sections, the rod were too short to reach all the way through the rifle barrel and apparently troops were expected to pool their sections to make a longer rod or else clean from both ends. Carbines reprotedly only had two section issued, even though they were drilled with three holes. Set includes 3 rod sections (one slotted end piece and two extensions, and one oiler. Original US Military issue. $65.00 (View Picture) 4543x U.S. "OILER AND THONG CASE" CLEANING KIT WW2 - version made of plastic, issued when supplies of earlier nickled brass version ran out. Fits in butt of M1903, M1917 and M1 rifles. One end holds oil and cap has dipstick to apply it. Other end holds bristle brush and "thong" made up of two weight sections connected by cord. Essential for care of weapons in the field using corrosive ammunition and when cleaning rods might not be available. Excellent used condition.

Edges rounded, not square cut. The pin punch is slightly bent, and I am afrait to try to striaghten it. These were used in the 1870 trials with the Remington, Sharps, Spencer against the Allin system. I looked for over 20 years before finiding one for my collection. Scarce. $225.00 (View Picture) 5260 M1903 ROD BAYONET RIFLE FRONT SIGHT COVER - Excellent condition with about 90% original blue, mixed with storage scuffing and some light rust. $35.00 (View Picture) SMA1195 - Bipod Ramline.

Not sure how well they work, but you can have them both for only $15.00 (View Picture) 15735 LOT OF TYPE 14 JAPANESE NAMBU PARTS - What you see is what you get. Complete bolt assembly, with firing pin and knob, trigger and guard assembly, trigger bar and spring and hinge pin, locking block, magazine catch assembly, ejector, and magazine assembly with boogered floorplate. Also a very nicely done pair of custom walnut grips with thumbrest. Grips could be smoothed off flat for a more original appearance. Large springs are probably not original, but smaller ones are. The entire lot of priceless treasures for only $125.00 (View Picture) 15734 BRITISH SNIDER BREECH ACTION (RECEIVER AND BLOCK ASSEMBLY) - An exciting opportunity to fiddle with a Mark II** Snider action (invented by an American, but gaining fame as the British service rifle) made mostly for converting old .577 Muzzle loaders to breechloaders. Used G-Vg condition with some surface rust and light pitting. Complete and everything works. Good for a study example, or for repair parts, or some fantasy gunsmithing project you might like to try (at your own risk, not ours!). Genuine old British parts, not junky Khyber pass copies. May also be useful as swimsuit for your neighbor’s cat. Antique no FFL needed. $50.00 (View Picture) 15720 M1917 "ENFIELD" RIFLE STOCK BY REMINGTON - New old stock mint unissued M1917 rifle stock made by Remington with "R" marked tip and the eagle head inspector mark between the forward guard screw and lower band. Perfect condition, ready to use for restoring that beautiful old M1917 that Bubba made into a deer rifle. Has the stock bolt and pin installed, and the pin for the lower band. Two easily overlooked minor factory repairs about 3/16" x 1.5" along the barrel channel one by the lower band on the left side and other on the right side by the upper band. These will probably blend right in when you put some finish on the stock. $145.00 (View Picture) 15719 M1903 FULL PISTOL GRIP "C" STOCK FOR M1903 OR M1903A3 RIFLES - Never arsenal installed on a rifle as the upper band screw hole has not been drilled yet. However, someone did install a milled buttplate, swivel and bandspring and you can faintly see that an action has been screwed in place at one time. Exterior is virtually mint unissued with perhaps 2 or 3 minute tiny blemishes from handling. Hints of letter "K" in the cutoff recess, and good ordnance bomb acceptance mark on the tip. This is WW2 production and has the inletting for the handguard ring and the M1903 sight base so it can be use with either the M1903 or M1903A3 rifles. Officially, a M1903 rifle with the "C" stock becomes a M1903A1. The "C" stock has a slightly longer pull and higher comb than the old straight stocks, and is a much better fit for most shooters. The M1903A4 rifles used this type stock, but with a notch added for the bolt handle. Almost impossible to find loose, this is a real prize, but alas must be priced accordingly. $450.00 (View Picture) 15404 JOSTAM RUBBER RECOIL PAD - Mint unissued, never installed or fitted to a gun. These were the classic early recoil pad for fine rifles, bearing patent dates of 1917 and 1931. The rubber is a bit stiff from age, but still has some “give” to it, but the bottom layer is separating from the rest of the layers and needs to be reattached (I think epoxy would work just fine). Great for restoration of a classic old sporting rifle that has a petrified or otherwise worthless pad. $29.00 (View Picture) SMA2085 Bolt Stop Set For The Japanese T-38 Rifle. - Complete with internal parts and screws.

Extremely hard to find in any condition, especially without having the butt chopped off for addition of a recoil pad, or some grotesque reshaping of the contours of the comb or forend. This one has had a slight modification to allow use with a M1903 style rear sight sleeve on the barrel. This will show as a narrow wedge open on either side of the barrel for about 2 1/2 inches tapering from 3/16" af the front to nothing at the rear. This can easily be filled with a few strips of walnut and some epoxy or glue if this is bothersome. First loose M1922 series stock we have had in a long time. $195.00 (View Picture) 15251 Winchester Model 1892 “TRAPPER” Forend - From the estate of a past president of the Winchester Arms Collectors who ID’d as being for the “large magazine tube”. Overall length is 8 inches and distance from frame to the shoulder for the band is 5.5 inches. Assorted dings and a small crack in the bottom ahead of the band, but overall G-VG although the finish has been chemically stripped (but not sanded). Not for a minty bun but most trapper are pretty well used anyway. A very hard to find part! $135.00 (View Picture) 15194 Lot of Ruger Mini-14 and other buttplates - One aluminum and three plastic Ruger Mini-14 buttplates- aluminum one is fine to excellent, and the plastic ones are excellent, good and excellent respectively.

This is a non-critical area and would be very easy to fix by dressing the area up, cutting a piece of walnut to fit and then securing it in place with epoxy. Final finishing is pretty easy as you just follow the internal contours that are left, and if needed, drop in your barreled action to check the fit as you go. We will provide a suitable piece of walnut if you ask. Otherwise used, G-VG. Note that this is an early one NOT cut for the M1903A3 handguard ring, but that is a very easy modification if you want to use it with a M1903A3. M1903 stocks are getting pretty pricey and this would be a good one to fix up for use on a shooter or reenactor rifle and save a lot over what some of the folks are asking for stocks now. Light P on the grip, and “S” in the cutoff recess, otherwise unmarked. $75.00 (View Picture) 15020 BM-59 BUTTSTOCK ASSEMBLY- COMPLETE - Not sure exactly which of the many BM-59 variations this was made for, but it has a regular pistol grip, and a side mounted front sling swivel, a rubber butt pad with a thin sheet metal cover to access the butt trap, and two “dimples” for the bipod legs, and some extra inletting that is probably for select fire parts. I suspect it will accept any M1 Garand or BM-59. Looks like it was about new, but suffered from poor storage condition and the butt end is a little dark like it may have gotten wet, and everything is dirty and needs a good cleaning. Not dinged or worn or anything, so a good cleaning at best, or a bit of work with some stain and oil finish at worst should bring it up to a very nice item. A rare treasure for the BM-59 specialist? $150.00 (View Picture) 15019 U.S.M.C. HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON MC-58 TRAINING RIFLE STOCK ASSEMBLY - About mint unissued, but dry and dirty from poor storage- a few tiny rust flecks on the buttplate, but rest of metal has about 99% of the light gray parkerized finish. Unsanded walnut stock has sharp DOD cartouche on the pistol grip, and maybe a few tiny storage and handling blemishes, but is close to perfect. This stock will work with the WW2 vintage H&R M65 Leatherneck training rifle as well, the only difference being the slot ahead of the trigger guard for the M1 Garand style safety. Complete with all the hardware. $125.00 (View Picture) 14982 THOMPSON SMG BUTTSTOCK- MINT UNISSUED - I think this is for the M1/M1A1 but if you need one you know what the inletting for attachment looks like.

These are type made for the trap in the butt for the cleaning gear. Two are complete with buttplate and swivel.

The lot for only $50.00 (View Picture) 14110 M1903A3 STOCK (SLIGHTLY BOOGERED) - Used G-VG condition. Bubba used this one for a target rifle at one time. He enlarged the trigger inletting to take a Timney type trigger, and also diddled with the stock to provide clearance for a Lyman 48 style rear sight (Post-WW2 type with the small base but still needing the alteration to the stock.) Not content with these indignities, he also glass bedded the receiver and the tip of the stock. A tiny bit of adjustment to the glass bedding might be needed to drop another action in place, but that is not hard to do. Hiarline crack in the wood between the magazine well and the trigger slot but these seldome seem to spread. Exterior would benefit from a good cleaning at least, and probably a nice refinish job. A good one to put on a shooter or for a reenactor so you won't mess up a high grade collector stock. $95.00 (View Picture) 13895 THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN M1/M1A1 BUTTSTOCK - Mint unissued.

There is a more legible RIA over EB in box on the left side of the butt. Rack numbers 3444 on the right side of the butt. Traces of two circle P marks on the wrist. Overall dark brown with thick coat of dried oil and crud. This is an early stock with the pins instead of the stock bolts. Probably taken off one of the CMP "greasy Greek" rifles, but should clean up to be a pretty decent stock. Assorted minor dings and scrapes, but no big ones and not cracked or anything. $149.00 (View Picture) 12748 Oil can for machine guns - Painted OD with stencil on the front of the can "LUB OIL, M.G."

Two lockscrews, POSTPAID. $4.00 (View Picture) 6917 SHARPS BUTTSTOCK (REPRODUCTION) - About 95% finished made from high quality straight grain black walnut. Will fit most of the 1859 and later models with very little work. Not inlet for patchbox, and rear lock screw is not inlet for saddle ring (easily done if you want to put it on a carbine. Requires trimming the front slightly, and final outside finishing and drilling of screw holes and maybe a tad of work on inletting. This is a reject due to a slip of the saw blade into the buttplate area by about 1/8´and a slightly undersize area at the top of the butt which will leave a gap of maybe 1/16" between the buttplate and the wood for the top inch. If you are talented enough to fit a stock, you can fix these problems with a bit of epoxy and walnut dust or a sliver of wood. $49.00 (View Picture) 6916 SHARPS BUTTSTOCK (REPRODUCTION) - About 95% finished made from high quality straight grain black walnut. Will fit most of the 1859 and later models with very little work. Not inlet for patchbox, and rear lock screw is not inlet for saddle ring (easily done if you want to put it on a carbine. Requires trimming the front slightly, and final outside finishing and drilling of screw holes and maybe a tad of work on inletting. This is a reject due to a slip of the saw blade into the buttplate area by about 1/8" and a small bit of overlooked inletting for the lock plate at the top front (maybe 1/4" x 1"). If you are talented enough to fit a stock, you can fix these problems with just a little effort. $55.00 (View Picture) 3519 .45-70 Trapdoor Rifle Cleaning Rod (Reproduction) Top quality with correct type grasping grooves on the small end. Blued, ready to slip into your rifle that is missing the rod. This is the later type with 'stearmlined" head as used from about 1878 (serial 120,000) and later, but often found in earlier rifles. These are correct for standard infantry rifle with 32 5/8" barrel. Can be shortened to fit cadet rifles with 29 1/2" barrels. You can get junky cheap copies, or these really nice ones that cost more. $65.00 (If you want originals, we also have those listed elsewhere) 1711x- Winchester Trench Gun parts- Some of the key parts to restore "sporterized" Winchester Model 97 or Model 12 trench guns. Magazine plug with stud on end, and special long screw for same, plus three screws for the bayonet lug with special large heads. Used fine-excellent with blue finish.

Fits T/C Contender. New condition with box. $10.00 (View Picture) Sniper Stuff 15783 M1903A4 Sniper rifle bolt and extractor - Authentic, genuine U.S. GI, not some aftermarket home made bend job. Arsenal refinished to darke gray parkerized and subsequently used so that bolt operation has left bright streaks on the body where the finish has worn off. About 80-90% remains. Does not have the "guts" (firing pin, cocking piece, sleeve, etc) but they are standard M1903A3 parts and easily obtained. Scarcer than an honest politician. $425.00 (View Picture) 15791 M1 Carbine “Hider, Flash, M3” made by Springfield Armory - Probably never issued, but has picked up some finish loss on the sharp edges and a few minor storage and handling scrapes or scratches. Still excellent condition. These were intended of ruse on any of the carbines equipped with the infrared night vision scopes M1, M2, M3 (20,000 volt). Not one of the crude Spanish copies or a foreign made item as usually found these days. $149.00 (View Picture) 15454 M3 CARBINE INFRARED SNIPERSCOPE RUBBERIZED CANVAS BACK PACK - (Ruth, War Baby II p. 639) lists as “Knapsack, Sniperscope, M3” but the metal label plate riveted to the item states “Carrying Case for Sniperscope, infrared, 20,000 volts, Capehart-Farnsworth Corp.” with a 6-22-51 contract date. This has some heavy rust on the nameplate rivets and a 2 inch rust stain on the flap that may clean up. Canvas seems to be sound. These are almost always missing from the infrared sniperscope units. We have sold probably a dozen sets over the years, but only two of them had the back pack with them. Even with the rubberized finish, these were very susceptible to damage from spilled acid from the wet cell battery, so most got destroyed in use long ago. We are delighted to be able to offer this one for sale, and we don’t expect to find another one for a long time. $225.00 (View Picture) 15452 M1903A4 sniper rifle redfield base (slightly boogered) - Original U.S. GI item with about 85% original finish. However, Bubba got his mitts on this one and tried to make it work on a regular M1903. This involved filing on the shoulder at the rear of the base which butts against the male dovetail for the 03A3 rear sight. Bubba had to file out a rounded area there, but thankfully left enough on the sides that it will still fit and work just fine. He must not have had the right front screw, so he drilled the countersink for the head about 1/8” deeper, and slightly “wobbled” the remaining part of the hole to line up with the misaligned hole on his rifle. We have include both screws and the rear one will fit fine, and the front one will work just fine, but the head will be recessed about 1/8” instead of flush with the surface of the mount. Bubba also filed a bit on the underside of the front of the mount. Normally there are 2-4 thin brass shims used under the front of the mount on the M1903A4 anyway, so this should not be any problem at all. The lock screws on the side are later commercial types but work just fine. Once mounted, only an expert examining it closely will detect the Bubbaized alterations, but you can smile just thinking of the huge savings over the price of an unboogered example. $125.00 (View Picture)
**NEW ADDITION** SMA2108 RARE Sniper Scope For The Japanese Type 97 Sniper Rifle - 2.5 X 10 power, blackened metal with an integral mount beneath that extends from the leading edge of the scope. The top of the scope, forward of the eye cup, is stamped, in white, "2.5 x 10" over the "NTC KOGAKU" manufacturer’s logo, and "99" followed by "No. 175." On the exterior face of the mounting bracket is a swiveling toggle, with posts to either side to limit its turn, alongside each of which are stamped in white, upward arching arrows pointing to kanji characters. 13810 REDFIELD JR. SCOPE RINGS-- 7/8" SEMI-SPLIT (1903A4 TYPE) - Type used with the M81 or M82 scopes on the M1903A4 rifles when they were installed to replace the M73B1 (Weaver 330C) types originally delivered by Remington. These are military issue rings, with gray parkerized finish. These will also fit the Lyman Alaskan scopes (identical to the M81/M82 except for markings and the use of sun shades onteh front of most of the military scopes). Mint unissued, one pair consisting of one front and one rear ring. Extremely hard to find any more. $135.00 (View Picture) SMA1903 - GERMAN TELESCOPE- FILLER FOR A SNIPER RIFLE(?) Kahles - Wein H/26 2X - 6X Rifle Scope. The Kahles line of premium Austrian-made telescopic sights are among the finest in the world, along with Zeiss and Svavorski. These high-grade scopes were made with nitrogen filled tubes and a choice of reticules, alloy or steel tubes and coated lens. This scope is in excellent condition with beautiful clear optics, and showing only slight finish wear. Reticule is the 4 post with cross hair type. An excellent choice for use on a high quality European sporter. $550.00 (View Picture) 13366 WW2 CARRYING CASE FOR SNIPER SPOTTING SCOPE TRIPOD - Well used example with brown leather tip showing lots of wear and some holes. Body of case is in good condition but dirty, greasy and MRT treatment coated. Has leather carrying strap. Tripod covers are hard to find, and this is the only early example we have ever had loose. $95.00 (View Picture) 13338 CARRYING CASE FOR M49 SPOTTING SCOPE USED BY SNIPERS - WW2- through Vietnam era $125.00 (View Picture) 13337 CARRYING CASE FOR M49 SPOTTING SCOPE USED BY SNIPERS - Vietnam era $89.00 (View Picture) 12107 Infrared "Snooperscope" for M1 Carbine (incomplete scope only) - This is an excellent body of a "snooperscope" but missing many components and probably what is here is not in working order. Still, a good filler until you want to invest in a complete working unit (or can find one!). Officially called "Sniperscope, Infrared, set No. 1, 20,000 volt" these were made circa 1951 and were mounted on M1 or M2 carbines in the field. This is just the scope body and the support for the light source. Some internal parts are missing, and the light reflector assembly, the wiring harness and electrical connectors and knobs etc. are missing. This is from a contract dated 8/31/1950 by American Optical. The scope is serial number M3.4698.50. The light source IR filter glass is fine, but the IR coating has peeled and split. The Redfield style mounting bar is intact on the bottom of the unit (not to be confused with the long bar which is more or less permanently attached to the carbine.) Every serious carbine collector needs one of these, the first widely used U.S. military night sniping unit. Primitive as it was, it allowed shots out to about 135 yards, which was a major breakthrough for that time, but pretty poor compared to today's night vision devices which do not need the tell tale infrared source. While not a complete set, it is an excellent start towards one and can be the centerpiece of a carbine display. $225.00 (View Picture) E83. USMC-SNIPER Scope instructions: 6527 GRIFFIN & HOWE BASE - Should fit both the military and commercial G&H mounts. Has typical holes for attachment with three screws a |
