OK, not a gun but the side of this powder horn has "Moose Must Die!" in cyrillic.

ETA: image of moose and squirrel and cyrillic writing on side.

Howdy folks, happy new year. I’ll throw my hat in the ring. I’d love to have a copy of volume 2

1943 inland, as far as I can tell, all original

 

[ChrisG43]

Actually was doing some cleaning and some research on a couple of these tonight, just received the Mauser Parabellum book and discovered a couple of my pistols are recorded in the book (serial number tables).

If I win, I request that the books be donated to a junior forum member just after Bruce writes a personalized note in the front cover where he admits his undying love for the Michigan Wolverines.

Happy new year!

Dutch Hembrug bicycle carbine I picked up recently. Unrefurbed and all matching except the cleaning rod, which is original and stamped. Just need to find swing swivels. It’s not as sexy as some other bolt action milsurps but I really like this one. It appears to be made very well with a tight but smooth action.

Decades ago American Rfileman had a photo spread of various 1911s including a left handed one from MS Safariiarms which has purchased its tooling from Randall when that folded. I checked the serial #. Mine! On the other hand, they sold me a used gun. Years later I contacted the then editor (M. I.) who told me that had so many that they didn't have time to test them and just did one article to cover them all.

To qualify, here's a flintlock Trade Gun I'm working on. While hard to see in the first image, I decided to put a beavertail/thumb rest right after the lock (and sideplate on the opposite side).

@Kaktus - did you add the roller on for the roller frizzen or did the lock come that way? Jack Brooks had us to that to a lock.

Looks like your build is coming along beautifully! Regarding your question, it’s a Kibler Ketland style lock which came with the roller frizzen
