Here's the photo with old timestamp to provide proof, and a limiting shot on the goods.

First is the 1861 Colt revolver, it came with this little strap with information of the revolver. The most pressing issue is the fact I can't turn the cylinder

Will these gloves work for handling them?

Garbage and so is that FEG from the other thread.

The rifle has this emblem/ mark on the receiver top of the gun

>>31107734
>>31107784

I may be wrong, but that looks like an M1916 Spanish Mauser.

>>31107839
You need some more pictures to help with identification? It has very little in the way of markings on it.
By the way the Revolver has a couple of odd markings too

>>31107839
>>31107784

it's definitely spanish, that's for sure.

>>31107910
So what's the emblem about? Also, that kind of surprises me since my neighbor had told me that this was the rifle his great uncle used in WWII on Juno beach during D-day. I think he got some information mixed up

>>31107651
it's a cheap replica and in poor condition

>>31107972
You sure? How can you tell?

>>31107784
spanish 4sho

>>31107996
That just makes me wonder, refer to
>>31107955

>>31107955
>>31108025
it features a Roman fasces, which was only present on the spanish (fascist) mausers

>>31108025
he could've gotten it mixed up with a springfield, but he'd really have to not know shit about guns

>>31108075
Yeah, that's why he gave them to me to clean. So in other words it's just a dime a dozen mauser?

>>31107116
Leneune Air Force base? You mean mcas New River?

>>31108125
yes, i don't go on base very much, non-military.

Will regular 3-in-1 oil work for cleaning?

By the way here was that book I was talking about I got today, 1980 published, has some rhodie pictures and the such

>>31107784
Faggot and sword.
Symbol of Spanish fascist party.


Faggot and axe was Italian

>>31108183
Cool I just got out. I used to live in horse creek farms. Ever hear of it?

>>31108241
No, was it in base or just outside of it? I live along the New river

>>31108240
So is it Italian?

>>31108266
It was off of piney green. I worked on learned not new river, but it's only like 5 miles away

>>31108283

>>31108283
Ah, okay.

got a photo of another part of the mauser, not quite sure of these markings either

>>31108315
You go to flatwoods, or just shoot in the game lands?

>>31108332
Nah, I have private property out at 9-mile. Can shoot whatever I want there for free and without disturbance. Can even go hunting if I wanted to, there are trails that go for miles.

>>31108360
Yea all the game lands around I used to target shoot at. Then they said not too but everyone still does. I miss nc. Drive 2 miles away and shoot whenever I want. Plus they had those cuts in the woods where the high tension power lines ran, so we were shooting out to 700m. Fuck florida

>>31108382
Ooooh, your're in Florida now- I do feel sorry for you now. At least you have nearby theme parks, right?

So nobody has any information on the Colt? I can take some more pictures if need be

>>31108404
Yea but no good ranges. Although I am only 2 hours from club pulse

>>31108086
not a dime a dozen, it's a good gun and it shoots a popular hunting round

>>31108414
Ha, got that one.

>>31108328
762 indicates the caliber
7.62x51 nato, aka 308

>>31108432
It does? What the cartridge? I cant necessarily find the cartridge on the rifle

>>31108450
see
>>31108447
I'd be interested in purchasing the rifle, if it's for sale

>>31108447
Okay, I redact my other comment>>31108450
Wait, if it's a 1916 rifle, why is it using .308?>>31107839

>>31108459
it's using 7.62x51, which became nato standard and just happens to be compatible with 308 win

So I'm looking at http://masterton.us/Spanmauhome
Is the mauser I have the transitional mauser from existing Model 1893's and 1916's?

>>31108480
yes it's a 1916 mauser

>>31108474
Oh so the 7.62 nato was technically made all the way back then?

>>31108484
Well that's cool, that explains the lack of markings. I would have never guessed it to be a modified rifle from an older one

>>31108487
yup

>>31108498
the spanish didn't have a lot of money at the time

>>31107734
Spanish Model 1916 Mauser short rifle, originally chambered for 7x57mm Mauser.

>>31107784
Guardia Civil (Spanish National Police) crest.

>>31108328
Rifle has been converted to 7.62x51mm. Much internet debate over whether this was 7.62NATO as we know it or the dimensionally-identical 7.62x51mmCETME cartridge, which used a lighter bullet and powder charge to make recoil more manageable. Even more internet broughaha and fuddlore concerning the safety of using commercial .308 Winchester in these rifles.

>>31108459
It was re-chambered to use more available ammunition when Spain switched rifle calibers in the 1950s.

>>31108514
Do I still need to handle it with white cotton gloves or is it okay to fondle it bare-handed? I'm looking to clean it now

>>31108538
they go for around $200-300
fuck it up senpai

>>31108533
Okay, so 7.62 nato is fine.
My next case is the Colt revolver

>>31108547
Really? 200? I don't think I've seen any milsurp rifle other than the mosin go for 200.

>>31108538
You can use your bare hands but just wipe it down completely when your done. Gloves are only nessecary if you wanna pick it up without cleaning it after.

>>31108570
Alright, what should I use to clean it and wipe it down? The barrel is filled with grime and everything is a bit gunked up

>>31108566
depends where you look

>>31108622
Maybe, I have to work with NC pricing

So, the revolver may be pretty beat up, but the grip is in unusually good condition. I took an up close photo of some of the markings on the right side here.

Anybody know about percussion cap revolvers?
I'm honestly lost with this one

>>31107784

Looks like fascist Italy

>>31109488
We already sorted it out as spanish
