Wow, over 2300 views and nobody has made a guess.

Here are some additional views with distinctive features seen on this model

OK, I'll post another antique small arm to see if it gets any new interest in renewing the game. It may be an easy guess

Well, that was certainly quick and you are right in that since mostly collect antique American firearms I tend to favor them also.


As to the ammunition used for the Burnside, it takes a...

OK, here's my entry and new toy recently acquired to show off

It's hard to stump most of you so I never know if going to be easy or hard.

I think Soren fixed the link to bring the image back. I just happen to post while the link wasn't working.

Cheers

I don't know if anybody is still following this thread but I had figured out the identity of the ship that Soren posted quite some time back. I never posted an answer since I had nothing to post in...

Your general statement lacks the context needed to make such an act actually illegal. It all hinges on whether the migrants go voluntarily. The bottom line is that the state governments claim they...

This is incorrect. This is not private debt to banks as I understand it. Private banks student loans are not being forgiven. It is federal debt secured through the department of education. If...

No, sorry to say I can't due to the current polarization of the two parties. Both parties tend to vote as a block these days, so it becomes who has the majority in both houses. Democratic...

Yes, but this thread was started by Alhoon and for several pages prior to post 1245 the topic was abortion. That also was not the topic of the thread but is was discussed for many pages.

However,...

Here are some fun updates on Biden and his administration's current attempts to gaslight the American public that we are not officially in a recession:rofls:

Of course the vast majority of guns are produced legally. I never stated otherwise.

I just wanted to clarify two main points.

1. That the ATF is bound by federal law and is not allowed to...

No, they do not. However, maybe you have your terms confused. In the US, the term "registered gun" means one that is recorded by some government agency in connection with a particular owner. This...

@Swabian,


Please take your turn.

I'd probably back date the item to maybe the 16th century from the decoration and since I think I am seeing what are winding lugs sticking out on each side, I'm guessing that it's a wheel-lock. ...

Darn it, that was quicker than I expected but yes, it is an Elgin cutlass pistol patented in 1838. The US Navy ordered 150 of them for a South Seas expedition and some were also sold commercially. ...

This may not be too difficult but it's all I could come up with

This picture was scanned off the cover of a catalog I have, and you can get an idea of the scale from the fact that the object is...

Give me a couple of days to come up with something. If I can't I will post to open the floor.

Cheers

Could it be a Czechoslovakian ZH29 or 32. Probably the later version since I think it was the only one offered with side mounted sling swivels. They are a bit rare.

I found this video describing...

@Chilon.

Officer Sicknick did not die from injuries received on Jan 6th as was widely misreported by the media. Your link is from an old article that evidently never got corrected. At one point...

Most of Maher statements are sourced in his graphics. Unfortunately without a direct link it next to impossible to locate some of them since the titles of the articles are unknown. However many are...

and now back to reality:

My only embarrassment was in thinking it was possible to get a rational and honest response while hoping to avoid another unhinged rant against the right.

I'll only respond to your uninformed comment about me using the term "legacy media". You evidently have no clue what that term "legacy media" means. It's generally used to describe the old major...

You won't hear about the waste and fraud on the legacy news media but here's liberal comedian Bill Maher talking about it.

Anyone who thinks that an individual making $125k to $150k can't pay a couple of hundred a month for money they borrowed from the government when the living wage for a family of 3 in this country is...

Since you brought it up. Biden has failed to deliver on most everything he promised except his promise to declare war on the fossil fuel sector. However, he has consistently extended the...

Correct. The the M1795 was first recognized US military main battle longarm manufactured by the new Springfield armory and it was patterned after the French Charleville. The M1795 was used...

I think you will find that the majority of Americans including Democrats, Republicans and Independents do not want either Trump or Biden to run again. Only a slight percentage of the entire...

Here's one of the latest handy charts breaking down the leanings of most well known media outlets

You will note that of the three mentioned by Ludicus as not being to the left, all of them...

Between national armories and private contractors there were over 700,000 of these produced. They were .69 caliber smoothbores. The "battery" or what is more commonly called the pan of the...

Although not French, it is sometimes referenced as "of the Charleville design or pattern"

Wow! Over 2900 views to this thread since I posted the above musket a week ago and nobody has a guess?

Here are some clues: It is a smoothbore and it or one of its iterations was used in at...

He's officially resigned. Now I wonder what CNN will do with his somewhat complicit news anchor brother.

Correct. I was reminded of it when the Girandoni air gun came up. It was claimed for a long time that the 1803's were the rifles carried by the Lewis & Clark expedition. In fact, the reproduction...

No problem.

So I'll try another long arm:
Name the make and model

I think I've got it. At first I thought the rifle looked a bit like one of those North African highly decorated over long muskets that you would see Moroccan camel riders sporting but then I...
