Tried wetting it a bit, and it didn't make one bit of difference. Still no markings of any kind to be seen.
Perhaps it is just an American copy of a Brown Bess pattern.
I'm definitely bringing it to the Albany Gun Show on Saturday. There are always quite a few tables geared towards older...
Believe me, I tried to get the barrel out. The screw at the top will not come out. I finally got it to turn, after much coaxing, enough that I could get the edge of a screwdriver under and try to pry it up as I was continuing to turn it, but it just spins and spins. Strangely enough, it will...
Oh yeah, it's impossible to know why the barrel was cut down, but it's fun to imagine.
Perhaps the barrel simply got damaged. Or maybe it was used as a stagecoach gun, or behind the bar at a rowdy saloon. Or perhaps it was our nations very first "Bubba" from 200 years ago, making a home...
I picked this up a while back, in 2017. It was sold as a "1700's blunderbluss" wall hanger, though I seriously doubt it was ever a true blunderbuss, even if the flared end was cut off in the distant past. I believe it originally started out as a "fowler" from the 1700's, which is pretty much...
State of Emergency declared in Albany County
Ok, this is stupid. 11 am? A state of emergency means no unnecessary travel. Emergency vehicles only, and the like. So no one can go out now to get groceries, gas, or even go to work now? It hasn't even started snowing yet! How about waiting to...
I read the title of this thread as "Ginsburg lung cancer survey".
My vote was going to be "yes".
Am I an awful human being, or what? p.s. If your answer is yes, idgaf.
"Bederow said the inside of the printed gun had no working machinery, and it was simply intended as a toy."

"“To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American.”
In other words, all Warren’s DNA test really proves is that she might be 1/64 to 1/1024 Mexican, Peruvian, or Colombian."

Well, damn....
Yet another lie under oath from Ford?

"It’s an intrinsically evil form of Big Government that sounds fictional but may one day come to a forest near you — a forest that might no longer stand if the landowner is forced to clear cut so he is not bankrupted by taxes."

i saw these a while back in the Central Ave store. From what I was told, these are sold in 5 different calibers, including as a pistol lower. With the 9 inch barrel and the stock, i'm not sure how this pistol configuration would weigh in at less than 50 ozs., which would automatically make it...
Congrats on making it out alive and in one piece!
I wonder how many more years it will be before there is a wall around this state to keep people in.
As for this, the only thought that comes to mind is in case it gets stolen.
I'll take it. I need more porn in my life.
Then when I'm done with it, I will pass it on to my oldest, as he will love the cabin porn.
PM me shipping the shipping cost.
Tell me, @Jordi Rubio, if you believe the United States is so dangerous because of all the guns here, why did you leave your home country to come here?
While we are at it, think about this. The 2nd Amendment has been with us for over 225 years. Just in the last 100 years or so, over 100...
I swear... ya gotta spell it out for some people.
Let me put it this way.
Fireworks (other than the cheap ground effect crap that was made legal recently) are illegal. Yet, all across this state, you will see fireworks in the sky around every 4th of July. It was remarked recently to me by...
Except I won't be home until after 6. Working, ya know, probably in Ulster or Greene County, but it could even be Columbia or Dutchess County. I never know till I go.
For those who still don't think we are in the beginning of a civil war, think about this. The left does not intend to fight their war with guns. As has already been stated, they are using the courts, the politicians, the media, and public opinion to fight. That is how they fight, and they...
