I'm selling it for my bil. He had a stroke and ask me to sell off his guns to pay bills. I would love to have this rifle but I just can't afford it. Thanks for the info, guys.

I have this gun listed locally for the next week, so I'm not listing it here (yet). According to the SN this gun was manufactured in 1957 or 58 and is in rather good shape for as old as it is. The...

That's a really nice Martini. I've always wanted one but the owner wants $300 and I just don't want to put the money in it to get it rebarreled. I've been getting rid of my safe queens and I'm afraid...

BIS, You're correct in that it has Arabic not Cyrillic writing and the gun is marked EG on the side of the receiver. Doing a little research found that EG means "Egypt Giffae" (or similar) meaning...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
From what I've read: This is a police shotgun used in Egypt police service, hence the EG designation.
It is a WW Greener Mark III and appears to have a standard 2 3/4 12 ga. chamber.
I'm not sure...

Guys,
Are all the GP shotgun actions short lever? Do you have to keep loads in the black powder range, say, for 45-70 conversion?

OP75,
I'll post pics if I get to see it. My SS is more interested in what interests him, so I may not get to see it. I'm in Saint Albans. That's a pretty good drive from here. I've always wanted a...

The local ad rag has a Husqvarna 30-30 single shot bolt listed for about $350. I had never heard of this gun so I searched on Google and Cabelas site came up with one for $600+. Interesting.

Springfield Sporters carries bolt heads for the enfield in different sizes to accomodate different headspace. You might be able to eliminate the excessive stretch.

We had people come in daily looking for "Polish, Czech, etc "parts for their Makarov. Just stating a common misconception that if it shoots the 9x18 it's a Makarov.
Forum: Military Rifles
Just don't assume all that shoot a 9x18 Mak parts are interchangeable because they are not. Only the original Makarovs are. For instance the Czech is not an original Makarov. There is a lot of info...
