How else will you know what Ian will be doing video on ?
You're not looking at a Lee /Speed or Afghan Martini Henry are you ?

[alfsauve]

Ya think the on-line catalog is bad?    I get the full color printed version, because I'm on their "list".

What are you going after, TAB?

The Quackenbush air rifles?  How about the two 1919 and one M60 de-miled machine guns.

Rather than post under my usual auction thread, here's two of the unique things in next months RIA auction.

There are two lots of Quackenbush Air Rifles.   Some of history's guns.   Made in the early 1900's.  Air gunning was quite popular back then.




Then how about a set of 3 de-miled machine guns?  Fairly cheap actually at around $1,200.


 


 The most expensive thing?   How about a  New Haven Arms Co. Henry Rifle Rifle 44 Henry.  Probably in the $15k range.




Or a AM General Corp AM151A2 4x4 Military Jeep.   Made in 1970-1971.    Not actuall WWII, but condition very good and it runs.  Also in the $15k range.

The macine guns are a Browning 1919A6 ( stock and pistol grip with bipod.)
An M-60
and a standard 1919.

The M 151 was Vietnam era till the late 80's the NG was still using them into the 90's and surplus they were under $200

The M60 sure looks funny with the cover/feed mechanism missing. AFAIK that's not one of the parts that need to be de-milled. The barrel and receiver definitely are. The other 2 look funny too.

To me buying a gun that can't fire is a bit like marrying a woman who can't have sex. All show and no "go".
