Western Field was a trade name used by Montgomery Ward & Company on their firearms for many years. Guns were made for Montgomery Ward by both domestic and foreign gunmakers..........................

Maybe you are trying to load the wrong cal. bullet! The Mauser is desigend to only feed from the internal magazine. The extractor claw catches the rim of the cartridge as it rides upward from the magazine. If a bullet is in the chamber, the claw of the extractor will not go over the rim of the cartridge thus not letting the bolt not to close. Trying to force the bolt close in this situation will cause damage to the extractor.

Serial number 888466 was produced by Winchester in the year 1921.

I have been collecting British cap badges for a few years and I'm not aware of a different design. I don't have very many references, so my answer is not that definative. But I have learned that the Canadians had a cap badge that was identifcal, except for the arrangement of the flames: the Winnepeg Guards. I accidently bought one. Speaking of grenadier badges, I have a large badge that is the same size and style as the large bronze badge of the Royal Scots Fusilers EXCEPT this one has a slight different pattern to the flames and on the grenade is the coronet and feathers of the Prince of Wales---identical to what you see for the 3rd Dragoons or the 11th Hussars. What is this? It has loops for attachment, so it is a cap badge and probably not a cartridge box badge. ????

No it is not, in fact it is twice as hard because you have to go through the program basically twice, so if you are worried about getting in to SF well than being an enlisted man would be your best bet.

Yes.

There is a .45 cal. Liberator pistol that was cheap to manufacture and was used to disarm someone with a better firearm.

Considering it has been around since 1902 and used througout the world, I'd say it's pretty good.

The MAK-90 is a semi auto rifle based on the Kalashnikov design. Usually made in China, yours was imported by International Arms Company (IAC) located in Billerica Maine. Value will depend on condition, but in very good shape around $700.

No expert in any field is without critics. They may be experts themselves or simply critical based on laymen's knowledge. Jomini had his share of critics as well. Reportedly he wrote his famous Summary of the art of War in 1838 partly due to the criticisms of Karl Von Clausewitz and Austrian Archduke Charles.

it doesn't stand for anything. war relocation authority means the U.S civilian agency responsible for the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during world war 2

value depends on condition. good is not excellent nor is excellent MINT. it's very hard for a layman to really report the condition of a gun. at this point I would guess (if excellent) between $1,000 & $2,000. go to: simpsonltd.com (a luger site) I'm sure he would need detail pics of your luger to make a 'guess' at possible worth......

Two stripes in the Australian army signifies a Corporal or a Bombardier.

Military time is the 24 hour clock.

It was created to avoid any confusion between similar sounding times such as 2:00am and 2:00pm. If this was sent over a radio with bad reception for instance!

This would be 0200 hours and 1400 hours in military time.

I hope you are talking about an inert practice shell.

I assume you would need a fuse wrench for that model fuse.

If the fibers of the wood have been cut, as opposed to being dented, then the wood cannot be raised at that point. If just depressed or dented you can try placing a damp cloth (after the finish has been removed) over the damaged area and a hot iron over that. The steam generated can sometimes swell the wood back to its original level. As for the finish you should probably read up on the subject & determine what you want prior to attempting. Most large book stores have books that cover the subject.

We have specialized in stock restoration and repair for 20+ years and have done a couple of Beretta Silver Snipes. I personally own one that my father gave me when I was 16 so I will go to some extra length to help you out here.

The first precaution I can offer is that when you remove the butt stock be sure to use masking tape around the screwdriver shaft. Build up the diameter of the shaft to insure that it centers with the bored hole in the stock to prevent the screwdriver bit from jumping off of the screw head as it will become wedged and split your stock. There are no replacement stocks currently available and it would be relatively expensive to have it duplicated and checkered. The wood finish process used by Beretta included a wood stain applied prior to the finish unlike the pre 64 Remingtons and Winchester that had the stain in the finish. I would suggest Laurel Mountain Forge stain (walnut) if you are trying to achieve the original color but an old English red looks very nice. For finish I would suggest Classic Gun stock Finish by Pilkington. Both can be purchased from Brownells. Be sure and closely follow the 1000 word instructions that come with the finish.

Strip the old finish then wash the wood down a couple times with lacquer thinner. Whisker the wood by wetting it with distilled water which will raise the grain. Cut the wiskers off with 400 grip gold paper. You can raise any dents where the wood fibers are not broken with a cloth wetted with distilled water and an iron applied on top. The steam will raise the dents as wood fibers have a memory. Any gouges can be filled with walnut wood filler. You may have to gain the repairs with a gaining pencil to help blend them. Stain the wood and apply the finish per the directions that comes with the Pilkington finish. It is a sanded in finish meaning you will be filling the grain as you apply the finish in multiple coats. If you don't use Pilkington's you may need to use grain filler (walnut color) before staining. Lastly, during the wood refinishing process would be a good time to have the metal re-blued if it requires it. The Beretta Silver Snipe had a rust blue rather than a dip and ship hot blue. Rust blue is more expensive but much more durable. Good luck with your restorations.

I remember there being 54. This was used at guard mount questioning. Certainly less holes in a c-rat cracker than an MRE cracker.
