  • A Century of Antique Gun Values 7 by Greg Martin
    A CENTURY OF ANTIQUE GUN VALUES 7 BY GREG MartiN Greg Martin and S.P. Fjestad shown honoring the late R.L. Wilson at an Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas. n April 12, 1958, James E. Serven addressed the American relatively favorable buying opportunities may well be present and Society of Arms Collectors at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, unrecognized today.” Serven followed up by presenting an interesting OTexas. His presentation was titled “Are Antique Guns a Good graph to his audience, listing 16 classifications of antique firearms by Investment?” I discovered his speech among the copious books and value and their ranking, with Colt firearms being the leaders in catalogues I had accumulated in years of collecting. It was not the title appreciation due to their popularity. Colts would continue to hold this that first caught my attention, because I felt that I already knew the exalted position for the next fifty-plus years, with Winchesters eventually answer, but the year it was presented.

It is the responsibility of the skirmisher to find out if planned or executed changes might void the existing approval of an arm or a barrel, and to submit altered production arms and/or barrels to the Small Arms Committee for consideration. If you are considering making any changes to an approved arm or barrel it is good practice to discuss it first with a member of the Small Arms Committee. 2.

  • Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles
    Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles Dean S. Thomas According to the "Statement of ordnance and ordnance stores purchased by the Ordnance Department from January 1, 1861, to June 30, 1866," the United States Army procured more than 427,000 assorted breechloading carbines and rifles during this period.' Additional quantities were purchased from the manufacturers by various Northern states, volunteer regiments, and individual soldiers. In all, more than twenty different brands found their way onto regimental ordnance returns, and each, with rare exception, required their own peculiar form of ammunition. Captain James G. Benton of the Ordnance Department described these weapons in his book, Ordnance and Gunney: The term "breech-loading" applies to those arms in which the charge is inserted into the bore through an opening in the pered by gas leakage at the breech joint-or lack of obtura- breech; and, as far as loading is concerned, the ramrod is tion.

  • The Design, Marketing and Production of Maynard Rifles
    004_goodwin 1/29/04 10:41 AM Page 43 The Design, Marketing and Production of Maynard Rifles Max W. Goodwin While Edward Maynard’s career as a dentist and his business as a firearms manufacturer may seem quite dis- parate, I am going to try to demonstrate that the two were inseparably intertwined. I will tell you about Dr. Edward Maynard, his inventions, his career as a dentist, his inventive bent, and how he may have used contacts made as a result of his amazing dental skills and worldwide reputation as a den- tist, to help in the marketing of his guns. Edward Maynard was born April 26, 1813 to Moses and Chloe Butler Maynard in Madison, New York. His father, a farmer, was also sheriff of Madison County and served as a Major in the New York State Militia during the War of 1812. Moses instilled in young Edward, an interest in the military. Edward was appointed to West Point by his father’s friend, first year. Sometime after leaving West Point, he served a DeWitt Clinton, one time Governor of New York and United brief apprenticeship in dentistry, and established a practice States Senator, who was a major force behind the creation of in Washington, DC, in about 1836.
