I don’t know anything about flare guns, other than the fact that there is an entire community that collects these, kind of a subset of WWI and WWII milsurp collecting. Cool find though ....

Get somebody over there that can do as Garufa says, sounds like you are way overdue for a general “cleanup” on your computer. Ditch the AVG paid account, if you have to go with them use the freeware version instead (I used AVG for a long time then eventually moved on to different virus/malware protection). Computers need an occasional cleaning/tuneup to avoid issues like you’re having, but it’s difficult to talk somebody through the process if they don’t have some basic knowledge of the types of things involved ...

Agree with Mike, tv tuners, even digital, is an old enough technology that they're all pretty much the same now. There are online tools that can help you determine what signals you're likely to receive with different antenna systems, you can plug and play your system and see what, if any modifications are needed.

Forget the indoor.outdoor type antennas, put up a directional array antenna, with tower, rotor and booster, much like we did in the old days. It's going to cost a lot more and be a lot more work to install, but then, as now, height, the ability to rotate, and large array antennas are your friends with tv reception ...

"Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it." -Theodore Roosevelt

From strictly a collectability and value perspective, leave it alone. Unmolested, unrestored pieces are typically sought after by collectors more so than guns that have been "prettied up". As an heirloom, you may have a completely different objective for it, and that's understandable, just be aware that the next person who owns it may not feel the same. In that case, it's likely that any restoration done to it now may highly reduce its value in the future. In regards to your original question, you might have better luck on some of the collector boards, like gunboards.com. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it ...

That's under the current market now. Try pricing one from the imperial era, even a refurb, if you want real sticker shock ...

Nice set of historical pics Jeb.

Nice one, Luke. These have become a good bit more pricey recently.

Good thing you have that (TN) thing going, otherwise Moscow would be a long trip for a rifle range ...

I don't think I've seen that poster before, where did you find it?

Interesting post. It seems that the left does not hold a monopoly on specious interpretations of the Constitution ...

The Constitution has a clause precluding private companies from enacting policies on how you ship things? That's one I never learned in school ...
