As said above, a 1945 Remington Rand frame with a Colt slide. The barrel is a 1985 chrome-lined replacement. The grips (or at least one of them) are replacement. They don't match. Same style and color, but one is shiny and the other is dull/matte. I see no re-aresenal stamps. The lettering on both the frame and slide are crisp so I'm not sure if either was ever refinished or not. If either was, I'd say the slide more likely than the frame as the Colt patent roll mark isn't quite as crisp as the frame's lettering. It has a few small nicks and some light scratches on the slide, and you can see the discoloration common on these old warhorses. I'm not sure if it's from the holsters or what, but that front 1/3rd of the slide is slightly darker than the rest and I see that on a lot of these. There's also a little holster wear along the high spots, esp. towards the muzzle. Bonus: No idiot scratch from the take down pin! The mag has no marking on the toe and is stamped on the bottom plate with 19200 ASSY 5508694 MFR. 1M291 which I think makes it made in the 1970s-1990s by Checkmate, probably on a government contract since they did make mags for the .Gov and The CMP had this one on hand but obviously not original to this gun. It's very a solid gun with no rust or pitting. I was (like probably all other CMP buyers) hoping for 100% Colt, but I'm pretty happy with this one. Like other CMP guns, it came in a nice heavy duty case Made in the USA.

My Service Grade arrived yesterday. I'll get some pics up soon. Colt slide on a 1945 RR frame.

I agree that a gun show is the best way to sell them all quickly. But be aware that there are quite a few Mil-Surp lovers on this site. So list some here as well. Did your father keep good records? Having a C&R license, he is required to have a bound book somewhere. What it is, when it was bought and how much? Such records will be invaluable for pricing them now. Do your research. Very likely your father bought many of these when they were cheap and plentiful. Prices have gone up considerably as the supply has dropped. What were $79 SKSs and Mosins now sell for $300-400. Likewise, ammo that used to sell for $100 per 1000 has easily tripled in price. Check current prices. Odds are that you can price your stuff very attractively below current prices for a fast sale and still make a very nice profit.

Not a home build, factory built upper and gunsmith built lower. This thing is a beast, a real shoulder bruiser, if you're into that sort of thing. It is the kind of rifle that is just cool to have, and one that everyone wants to shoot. Bear Creek Arsenals upper, Anderson lower, CMMG LPK, DPMS A2 stock, comes with 1 mag specifically for .50 Beowulf. Currently painted green, not Cerakote, but one of the Cerakote like finishes that you can buy in a can. I can include dies, brass, and bullets. $750 $650 or would consider trades for lever guns, 1911s, or 2011s, can add cash if needed.

How bad is the gun? How old is it? Can you post some pictures? In many cases, collectible S&Ws will lose considerable value if refinished. Collectors would much rather have an all original gun with little to no finish remaining than a fancy refinished one.

There’s a reason no one let’s go of these.

Happy birthday, USMC. I was going to order a cake for you guys, but I was afraid the candles would melt!

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi!

I am pretty sure the CW show has a dealer wait list. I know that the TN Military Collectors show does. I have a table at the TN Mil Show and I know a couple of dealers well. At a show you may not be able to sell it all to one dealer, but sell everything to a couple that may want to split the group. I mainly collect WWII Japanese, German, and US firearms.

Veterans Day weekend bump - items added.

Usually, sub-sonic ammo that will function a semi-auto will be super-sonic from a bolt gun. Sub-sonic 300 blackout for a bolt gun is generally loaded with smaller charges of faster powders versus loading subs for a semi-auto such as an AR. Usually magnum pistol powder instead of fast burning rifle powder. Just like loading pistol rounds, it would be very easy to get a double charge and not realize it. Also, some powders are much more position sensitive than others at low case volume. If you are sure the previous round was not a squib, then I bet one of these options was the case.

^^^Now there’s a man who knows how to catch fish!!!^^^

You really need to research what they all are and current values. Some of those old mil-surps that were dirt cheap 15 - 20 years ago are bringing very good money now. Some that are still common and inexpensive can bring premium prices with certain markings. You are only going to get .50/1.00 or less selling as a package deal. Way less if the dealer realizes you don't know much about what they are their values. If I were closer, I wouldn't mind helping you identify and value them. I had a C&R up until about 8 years ago. I realize that my children and their spouses really have no interest in most of my old mil-surps. Recently I've been selling a few. Problem is there is not much of a collector market locally. I've sold most of the lesser value ones. What I have left are going to need to go to gunbroker or some other large market to realize their value.

This shouldn't last long. What a perfect novelty gun for Doc Holiday or William Munny ("Unforgiven") reenactments!

I will take them. Pm incoming

Pulled the boat outta hibernation yesterday and went after some cats. Caught quite a few dinks but did manage to put two tanks and one good fish in the boat. Bait used was crappie and yellow bass.

Get a table or two. They aren't that expensive and you have a place to sit down.

If you just want to dispose of them and not deal with too many hassles Powell Auction in Knoxville has regular firearms auctions. That being said, I’ve never put anything up with them for sale, and they do take a cut from you, but it’s something to consider.

I would echo this recommendation. The CW show especially might match up to much of what you have. It is in the Williamson Co. Ag center at intersection of I-65 and Peytonsville road. It is first weekend of Dec.

https://tmcaonline.org/events.php The TN Military Collectors show is just a couple of weeks away. There will be 350 dealers there that deal is those type of firearms. Not just military stuff but some other firearms that fit the C&R are there as well. The Civil War Show is in December and it is the largest Civil War show in the country. The CW show would also be a great place to talk to dealers. I've seen dealers at both shows buy entire estate type collections. I believe on C&R you can sell via private sell as long as you log the info and the buyer is same state. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/are-transfers-curio-or-relic-firearms-licensed-collectors-subject-nics-background-check https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/are-licensed-collectors-required-fill-out-atf-form-4473-transactions-curio-or-relic

Stop in to Tabor's Pawn Shop and talk to them. They do a pretty strong business there, and I've purchased a couple of used guns from them. I have no idea at all if they'd be interested, but if you're in Crossville it's not out of your way. Good luck.

From reading your post it seems like you're at least reasonably familiar with firearms. I think all of the guns you've mentioned would sell pretty quickly if priced attractively. Maybe some obscure ones would go slowly, but I bet you could raise some money for your mom pretty quickly by posting them here. My advice, and worth what you paid for it, Whisper

This is a neat little gun to take apart. I took apart the forend and such, but not the back end. I need a tool to remove the stock nut to pull that apart the back end. I tried the carpenter’s pencil on the barrel rust first. The rust was just a little too much for it. It gave the rust a nice “blued” look. I went with the 0000 Wool and gun oil. That seemed to work better. Not too much, but enough to get it looking better. I did decide to hit the receiver just a touch to smooth it up a little.

If you have purchased products like certain triggers or other devices that they have made questionable determinations on as of late, they may be seeking contact. Regardless, this isn’t a place to seek advice. Seek out legal representation before speaking to them about anything at all.
