ITHACA FIELD GRADE STAR MODEL NEW ITHACA DOUBLE BOX- SALE NO. 115 LOCK SHOTGUN serial #446308, 12 ga., 30” barrels choked improved cylinder and modified with bright about excellent bores. The barrels retain about 98% excellent quality polished hot immersion blue with remnants of light pitting for about 3” at the muzzles. The frame is a dark gray-blue fading to plum and shows the typical dogs on point with extra engraved stars on both frame flats and at the belly of frame and bow of guard. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and forend rate very good with flat-top checkering and the forearm showing a bit more wear with only remnants of its pattern. The gun locks up tightly and seems to function well with the forearm being just slightly loose. (38381-17) {C&R} (200/400) 1101. PARKER VH GRADE BOXLOCK DOUBLE SHOTGUNS serial #154324, 12 ga., 30” barrels, both choked a light full, with very good bores showing scattered very light oxidation and very light pitting, the 1101 left tube with a small ding. The barrels are an overall plum brown patina with some sparsely scattered light oxidation here and there with a handful of widely scattered light pits. The frame is similar being a smooth plum brown patina with a few dings on the fences and some scattered light oxidation; the triggerguard shows oxidation on the bow. The smooth walnut buttstock is a good-quality replacement from the period of use. It is un-checkered and rates about very good with the original pistolgrip cap and a grooved hard rubber buttplate fitted. There are a couple of gaps at its fit with the tangs, a small 1” crack at the top of the right cheekpiece and a small crack at the rear of the upper tang. The splinter style forend rates about very good with a couple of small chips and the checkering worn to flat-top. The length of pull is 13 7/8” and the gun seems to lock up well, although there is slight lateral play, but the barrels are on face. Possibly a good rainy day Parker or restoration candidate. (38367-8) {C&R} (300/500) 1102 1102. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1903 MAGAZINE SPORTING RIFLE serial #1344005, 30-06, 24” 2-30 dated star-gauged barrel with a fair bore which shows moderate erosion. The metal surfaces are an overall dull gray-blue patina with faded original blue and the bottom metal flaked to plum. An original military stock has been neatly sporterized and checkered and was rather well done. Quick detachable sling swivels have been fitted as well as a barrel band and the length of pull to the grooved hard rubber buttplate is 13 1/4”. The bolt handle is marked “NS” and the bolt body is not numbered in any way. There is an ivory Lyman front sight in the original front sight base, the receiver has been drilled and tapped for a Lyman 48 sight and both front ring and barrel have been drilled and tapped for steel target blocks. The Springfield Research Service Summary of DCM Rifle Sales 1922-1942 lists this serial number as having been sold as a “sporter”, this however is clearly not a 1903 DCM “sporter” stock. An interesting rifle overall that might be worthwhile to bring back to its original configuration. (38339-19) {C&R} (500/700) 1103. CUSTOM MAUSER 98 SPORTER BOLT ACTION RIFLE serial #3516, 243 Win, 24” Flaigs ace barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of the barreled action retain about 97% nice quality hot immersion blue.

  • International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • The Mauser Parabellum and It's Test Firing Ammunition. Ammunition And
    The Mauser Parabellum and it’s test firing ammunition. Ammunition and ballistics, the basis of the existence of our club community, play an important role in the development of firearms that will eventually be used to fire that ammunition. That a round, even a standard round like the 9x19mm Parabellum and it’s forbearer the .30 Luger, known world wide, will not surrender itself without a struggle is shown in documents from the Mauser archives. At the end of the 1960s entrepreneurs saw several new markets for and old, classic pistol design: The Parabellum (or Luger) pistol. In the 1950s and 1960s the American consumer market was flooded with cheap military surplus firearms from Europe, annoying the major American arms produces. They feared that these importing activities would have negative effects on their own proceeds and they demanded that legislation to end the import of surplus military firearms was accepted. Interarms, one of the largest importers and distributors of surplus military firearms knew this all too well and decided not to wait for changes in legislation (which were passed in 1969). As early as in 1965, Interarms was in contact with companies like Carl Walther GmbH, Mauser-Werke AG in Germany and the Eidgn. Waffenfabrik in Bern, Switzerland. Discussed was the possibility to reproduce classic sales successes like the Walther P38, PP/K, the Mauser C96, K98, HSc and the Parabellum pistol, if needed even in the USA itself. The American import legislation influenced used guns, not new ones. After long negotiations, Mauser was prepared to take up the challenge and late 1969 the new Parabellum pistol was presented to the general public.
