  1. This Model 8 Remington in .32 Remington is in about average condition.  Finish is faded on barrel and receiver.  Bore looks really good.  The wood is in overall good condition with two repairs: one old at wrist (very solid) and a newer one at toe. I cleaned up the latter one and added a pin for extra strength.  Action is smooth and tight. These are great woods rifles. Dies are available and brass can be made by necking down .35 Remington cases. $650 + Shipping.

  2. This is being sold solely as a shooter, and a fun one at that. It is one of the government's efforts to repurpose thousands of CW surplus rifled muskets.  I believe Remington made around 10k of these by mating their rolling block action to 1863 Springfield barrels and buttstocks. It fires a short  .58 CF round using standard .58 Minie bullets. Cases can be made by shortening 24 gauge Magtech brass shells.  What wrecks the collector value of this particular example is that someone over sanded stocks and shellaced them. This causes the barrel bands to be a little loose. Creative ideas can alleviate this for shooting purposes. The 39" barrel has a shootable bore,  but has pitting. Big lead bullets take this in stride. Action is tight. Needs a new extractor, as original is frozen in slot and a piece snapped off at some point when block was opened. Of course for fun shooting,  empties could be knocked out with a range rod. These can be a hoot to shoot and cases easily reloaded at range with simple tools. $500 + Shipping.

  3. This single barrel percussion 8 gauge market gun is MASSIVE. Looks like a hyper-thyroid fowler. It is unmarked as to builder. Its half round half octagon barrel is 36" long. At the breech it is 1.5" across the flats. Bore measures .875". Bore is shiny, with typical black powder pitting. The barrel retains most of its original factory finish turned plumb. Underside of barrel has Birmingham proofs. A new stainless steel nipple has been installed. Walnut stock is held to barrel with two captured keys. Fittings are German Silver with engraving on buttplate and triggerguard. Stock is in very good plus antique condition with minimal bumps and scratches. Has an easily repairable crack at toe that does not affect structural integrity. There is a capbox on underside of buttstock. LOP is 13.5". Gun weighs almost 12 lbs. A scarce gun in this condition. $1300 + Shipping.

  6. This is a well preserved Belgian made 16 gauge SxS hammer gun. Both metal and wood retain the majority of their factory finishes. The bores in the 30" twist steel (BELGIAN LAMINATED BARRELS) are mirror bright with no pitting. There are some "waves" in the metal that is typical of this form of manufacture.  Right bore measures. 671" and Left bore measures. 669". Chambers are 2.5", perfect for Magtech brass shells. Stocks are solid, with minimal handling marks. Checkering is sharp. Grooved steel buttplate. The receiver, marked JANSSEN SONS & CO., retains some original case colors. One firing pin is a replacement,  but both work. Action locks up tight, with some minor wiggle with forend off. Great for black powder or 2.5" vintager shells with BP pressure. Ships to C&R or FFL. $275 + Shipping.

  8. Very nice, unmessed with Whitney model 1841 "Mississippi" rifle. Overall very good plus antique condition. The barrel has light pitting near muzzle and rang. Otherwise, thinning factory brown finish. The original .54 bore has deep, clear rifling, with mild, scattered pitting. Needs a better scrubbing. Proofs on left side of breech. Has been updated to accept saber bayonet. The stock has small bumps and bruises, typical of a 175 year old military rifle. The left side forearm has a 7" splinter forming behind middle barrel band that could use attention. Strong lock marked E. WHITNEY over US and N.HAVEN 1848. Brass has a pleasing mustard color. The patchbox contains correct jag, nipple wrench/screwdriver and extra nipple. A very nice example to collect or shoot. $1600 + Shipping.
