I looked at the rifle on Guns International, and unless I'm just missing something, I don't see anything about that action that indicates it's commercial.


Tim

What are your thoughts on the clearly visible commercial proof marks?


Well, I went back and looked, and all I saw were the Sedgley marks, a number on the safety, and a hint of something peeking from behind the scope mount. If there's clearly visible proof marks on that rifle, please tell me where they're at.

Re: Wall thickness opinion Lloyd3 09/12/26 01:36 PM
Builder: I resonate with 12boreman's perspective here.

Like him, I've been shooting Damascus guns for some time now (close to 30-years as well). For me it was a voyage of discovery (lots of reading and metallurgical inquiry) and only after I had done my own "due diligence" did I made that decision.

My own science background is not to the "do all, end all" level that I'd like it to be, but I made a living with it for the better part of 40-years and have never killed or maimed anyone yet.

From what I've read & seen here, I'd be more concerned about the wood on this gun than the tubes.

Re: 25th Anniversary of 9-11 Chantry 09/12/26 01:04 PM
I'm in CT and I was in at work when a co-worker's clock/radio reported a plane hitting the WTC. I suppose like most who didn't see it happen I thought a pilot in a small civilian plane had truly screwed up. I tried many of the online new sites, but you couldn't get into to them due to the extreme volumes of traffic. When the second plane hit the second tower, I knew it wasn't an accident. At some point the department head told us we could leave for the day. I watched the TV and saw the towers fall, heard about the Pentagon being and the heroic passengers on Flight 93 attempting to storm the cockpit, almost certainly preventing another attack on a high value target.

Re: Lancaster shotguns...questions, and pics... susjwp 09/12/26 12:25 PM
Nice gun. Lancaster produced some very nice guns. I have a wrist breaker, circa 1896, and a sidelever 12 hammer. The engraving on both was well executed.

Re: C Thomas Hofmann 16 Ga Hammer Gun ellenbr 09/12/26 11:52 AM
For the moment, info on ole Büchsenmacher C. Th. Hofmann in Dürkheim an der Haardt is scarce; however, there is a Büchsenmacher katholischen Friedrich Hofmann in
Dürkheim listed in the 1885 directory. Maybe Friedrich was C. Th. Hofmann's son or vice versa??? There is a mention of Friedrich having a son but the age of the platform looks to pre-date 1885??

I absolutely hope that the $5000.00 dividend never happens. I don't need it, and would rather see the money used towards the Deficit and deportation of illegal aliens.

Princess Stevie should direct any crying about the DOGE payments toward his/her fellow Democrats who fought tooth and nail to stop DOGE from shutting down corruption and massive wasteful spending. But that requires rational thought and honesty, rather than just parroting Democrat talking points.

Same goes for the Princess frequently whining about the Deficit. Too bad Trump isn't actually a King or Dictator, because he can't even get Democrats in Congress to agree to any reasonable budget cutting. But when you have terminal TDS, it's all about blaming Trump for everything.

Remington 3200 12 ga Parts arrieta2 09/11/26 06:13 PM
Remington 3200 Shotgun Parts. Large bag of various 3200 parts. Here a nice selection of Remington 3200 shotgun parts. These parts for the old 3200 guns are getting to be very hard to find and can be expensive. This is a large assortment. Hammer springs, top locking bolt, grip cap, trigger guard, small action parts. Various small and large springs, bbl selector. I have no idea what all the parts for the internal action are. What I am asking for all the big of parts is maybe less that what one or two parts would cost you if find them. Much less that if you had to have the part custom made. Also good to have back up parts on hand. $250 for the bag.

John
Arrieta

Please Note: I do not have a web hosting site. I will be pleased to send pictures to those of you inquire. PM me or arrieta2@sbcglobal.net


PS: Some of these parts appear to be new, some maybe be used but not abused.

Quite the contrary. Hate mongers abound. There is always someone ready to step into the void. They already have.

Dr.Wanker must be thinking about how he was banned from this Forum when he celebrated the fact that Conservative icon Rush Limbaugh suffered and died a lingering and painful death from lung cancer.

The equally Liberal left Nutty Professor was also sentenced to a 30 day ban at the same time for making similar disgusting comments about Rush's death. They both couldn't contain themselves even though our site Administrator forewarned everyone that he would not tolerate such behavior.

When the Liberal Left Democrats here run their campaigns to silence or eliminate their adversaries, they conveniently neglect to mention the hateful vomit they and their friends spew. Go figure.

$450.00 (last pic) to change the oil and battery. You should have opened a bike shop instead of peddling junky French shotties nobody wants.

Got 7 days to go. $450 ain’t going to land it.

Re: Parker Prices dirty harry 09/11/26 11:26 AM
Just went on a well known Guns for sale site,
Parker - 444
Fox - 196
Ithaca - 63
This tell Me a lot more guys are trying to dump their Parker's, than the guys that have Fox's or Ithaca's.
By the way, I like all of them.

Dirty Harry[/quote]

Link?

I buy and sell a lot of classic guns and break down many more for parts. If those prices are real...., I'd buy them all.[/quote] Utah Shotgunner

Those numbers are how many of each make are for sale, not the ''Price'' of them.

That seems to be the location of this 410. Looks like it’s stamped by the sheriff of Nottingham…

Re: Barella 16ga SXS (bored to shoot 2.75”) ellenbr 09/09/26 01:49 PM
Georgi on transition from Krupp Steel to Roechling on Daly's:



»From 1917 - until the early 1920s, Daly guns are not available in the catalogs . (The earliest catalog I own that shows their re-appearance is 1924.) From 1924 - approx 1930, the Witten steel is still there but Krupp "special steel" has been replaced by Roechling "special steel."«

»Sempert & Krieghoff(Ludwig, Sr.) offered Roechling steel tubes, as did Merkel, and were possibly the only game in town for Roechling. Heinrich Krieghoff, Ludwig’s 2nd son, left S.&K. in 1916 to hang out his own shingle and by 1919 either completed the purchase of Val. Chr. Schilling’s(Albert, Moritz & Walter) tooling or purchased Schilling’s tooling. WWI had ended and so did H.A. Lindner’s handi-work. I’m sure his network fell to the wayside and someone at S, D & G along with a contact in Suhl had to keep it together. Lugwig Krieghoff, Sr. expired in 1924 and Heinrich Krieghoff brought S.& K. under his gun making umbrella but Sempert & Krieghoff/Krieghoff-Waffen may have continued until at least 10.10.1925 as per a catalogue. Schuler and S. & K. had a relationship earlier as Schuler sourced his Mauser’s from S. & K. and could have easily sourced tubes from S.&K. or Krieghoff-Waffen«

So Post WWII, there was a shift in the use of tube steel from Krupp to Roechling, which had developed the Electric Furnaces in 1912 or right before WWI.

https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=138360&page=all

Too, there was a new rule or law that became effective in 1924 that weapons platforms were to be dated and that's why the Suhl Proof Facility followed the Z-M Proof Facility in dating their arms. The Z-M Proof Facility had been doing it since the early 1900s.


Now not by any stretch of the imagination am I saying the Subject longarm is a Daly.
