John Forbes of Liverpool Sawhandle Smoothbore Adjustable Trigger .62 Calibre Percussion Conversion Fine Antique Dueling Pistol
Howdy Townpost! I have a truly amazing one of a kind piece here for sale. I bought this for myself in the US over a year ago and I had it professionally restored and fully repaired. I am now looking to sell it. John Forbes, of Liverpool, was gunmaker to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. And according to my research made mostly dueling and target pistols, and some small pocket pistols for only 5 years. Those years being 1805-1810. He spelt his name with I or Iohn and later switched the spelling to a J or John based on public records and some of the other examples of his dueling pistols that have sold at auction. That makes this a very rare and finely made pistol. This pistol would have cost a small fortune at the time it was made. Oftentimes dueling pistols come in pairs but it was cheaper to buy just one if they were offered as a single, and should you encounter someone who has insulted your honor and you demand satisfaction from them, they can bring their own pistol to the duel. The engraving is extremely fine, intricate and skilled. It would have taken many dozens of hours to complete and it was all done by hand. The engraving features drums, banners and spears, floral patterns, sunbursts on the base plate and lock, and a pineapple in the front of the trigger guard, which symbolizes wealth and status. Because this gun is a percussion conversion of the original flintlock mechanism the percussion hammer is engraved in a different style by a different engraver in a more simple floral and fish mouth style of engraving with gold inlay. Every screw is engraved to look like a flower and the escutcheons are also each engraved like a wreath. Overall there is a lot of fine detail with some simpler and less detailed later additions on the percussion mechanism and one spot on the side plate. The gun features gold inlay on the hammer which largely worn away. There is silver inlay on the outside of the breach, and a sterling silver wreath styled band wrapped around the base of the grip and a sliver bead front sight. The ramrod tip (which is a replacement) is silver plated brass, so too are the front stock cap near the muzzle, the rod pipe, cross key, and escutcheon around it are too. The grip baseplate is silver plated steel. The workmanship of this pistol is certainly of a quality of gunmaker worthy enough of being the gun maker of the Prince of Wales. The pistol is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it too.

Nock .40 Cal. Spring-Loaded Bayoneted Screw-Barrel Percussion Antique Coat Pistol
Howdy Townpost! I have a unique one for you this time. You there sir or madam! You wouldn't want to travel these dangerous streets without some form of protection under your coat! Have a look at this and turn off barrel pistol with a switchblade bayonet for backup, made by Mr. Nock. You may need it should you encounter any rowdies! This is a single shot box lock percussion pistol. It's a screw-barrel meaning you unthread the barrel, fill the powder chamber and place a ball on top it. You then use the barrel itself and the threads to seat the ball inside of the breach. Then a percussion cap on the nipple, put it at half cock put it in your dapper overcoat and pull it out should you meet any Scallywags on your travels. In my opinion this is an early Samuel Nock made Circa 1840s pistol. Based on comparable examples I've seen and the style of Engraving and construction of the pistol this appears to be an early production Samuel Nock made pistol. Samuel Nock was the nephew and an apprentice of of the more famous Henry Nock. Samuel knock became a very skilled and renowned gun maker in his own right. Most of his guns would be marked S. Nock but some of his earlier stuff had only his last name. I suspect he was trying to trade on his more famous uncle's name at the time. Overall the pistol is in pretty good condition except for a small hairline crack in the frame (pictured). There is some moderate pitting in the bore however it looks worse in the photo than it actually is. This is a smooth bore pistol and is breech loading so the pitting shouldn't make it difficult to load or shoot. This pistol was intended for point blank range shooting by virtue of the fact that has a stubby little bayonet to use in case you missed your target. The pistol mechanically fine. The trigger and lockwork are all in good working order and the spring loaded bayonet mechanism works perfectly. They are often broken because of the small springs and the daily carry type use of these firearms. The pistol is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide too.

Photo of Antique Swedish Husqvarna Model 1887 Nagant 7.5mm Revolver, Shoots SMOKELESS .32 S&W Ammo!!!
$4500
Antique Swedish Husqvarna Model 1887 Nagant 7.5mm Revolver, Shoots SMOKELESS .32 S&W Ammo!!!
Howdy Townpost! I'm looking to sell my rare bird antique revolver. Husqvarna made 13,619 model 1887 revolvers over the course of 9 years between 1897 and 1905. Of those only 350 were made in 1897, and thus those are the only antique status Husqvarna model 1887s in Canada that are recognized by the RCMP CFP Lab Technicians. This is one of them, number 260. These are not common to say the least. These revolvers are chambered in the 7.5 mm Nagant cartridge. The chamber dimensions are essentially almost identical to the 7.5 Swiss revolver cartridge used in their model 1882s. So you can make proper brass and the proper dimensional cartridge for this gun using either .32-20 Winchester, .25-20 Winchester, 7.62mm Nagant (1895), or 8mm Lebel Revolver brass as parent cases. I have some virgin 7.62 Nagant brass that I'll throw in as a freebie to the buyer and there's like 50 pieces in this bag. Or the more expedient way to shoot this gun is to shoot 32 Smith & Wesson long or short as an inexpensive and smokeless off the shelf ammunition. This is commonly done in Switzerland with Swiss model 1882 revolvers, and given that this has almost essentially identical chamber dimensions (they Husqys are actually little a bit tighter) you can do the same. So I decided to give it a whirl with the .32 S&W and was actually very pleasantly surprised by my results. My best three round group at 25 yards with PPU .32 Smith and Wesson Long with round nose lead bullets was 2 inches. Those were the first three rounds I fired through the revolver but the three following rounds in the same cylinder opened up to a 5 inch group as the barrel heated up. I still have the target and can provide a photo of it upon request. I imagine any almost any .32 Smith & Wesson standard velocity factory ammunition would be fine to shoot in this except Sellier & Bellot because it has a fairly small diameter rim diameter and the rounds sink into the chamber and will not headspace properly and the hammer can't reach them. One in five cases bulges and splits open, but the majority of rounds fired essentially fire form to the chamber and could be possibly reloaded in my opinion. Overall the ammunition performs surprisingly well for being how undersized it is and as long as you use lead bullets or maybe a hollow-based jacketed bullet, the bullet will expand and grab the rifling and stabilize very well and achieve good accuracy. The revolver is all matching except for three parts. The cylinder is an unserialized replacement. The trigger guard and the side plate are also replacements in the 4200 SN# range. The chambres and bore are all in excellent condition. There is one spot of extremely shallow corrosion sot in the bore and that is pictured. Beyond that, the bore is sharp with tall lands and is mirror shiny. And all of the chambers are very clean and shiny as well. They are also pictured. Overall the gun is in very good condition the most noticeable wear is on the color case hardening that is on the loading gate trigger and loading gate spring. The non-matching side plate was reblued to more closely match the original blue on the frame. I will include a little document dossier I've put together in a binder that provides documentation on this firearm. It includes a copy of the Firearms reference table entry or FRN, a copy of the regulations prescribing antique firearms, and some copies of emails I received from the RCMP lab technicians confirming their opinion of the antique legal status of this particular example SN#260 revolver that I received in order to import this firearm easily. So all of your legal bases are covered. The revolver is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide on the buyer's dime. I can do Alberta meetups too. It depends on the time of year though and whereabouts. I too have video footage of me shooting this firearm with 32 Smith & Wesson ammunition and the target I used I just have to edit the clips together and upload them to YouTube. I haven't got around to doing that yet. I suspect the revolver will be sold before I get around to doing that, but I will upload that footage regardless for the buyer. But for now you'll have to take my word for it until I upload the video and if that's not good enough for you then you'll probably miss out on the sale cause it's exactly what happened with my .38 Special converted Colt model 1889 that's sold in less than 24 hours.

Tactical Repeating 6 arrows Crossbow NEW $980-1100
Please text anytime 6476871484. Brand new. The Target Kit includes a stringing aid and six arrows, and the Hunting Kit includes 55 lb. and 90 lb. Pro Limbs, the Target Limbs, replacement string, a stringing aid, and six arrows. The Tactical Repeating Crossbow represents one of the easiest and best ways to quickly and accurately shoot up to six arrows before reloading. It is very light and easy to carry and operate, even with one hand, and it utilizes upgraded technology including improved engineering for the limbs and a redesigned base. It is capable of velocities up to 220 FPS and power up to 15.2 FPE (both measured using the optional 90 lb. Pro limbs and training arrows) and excels at both target practice and small-game hunting. This crossbow features repeating action that is remarkably smooth, which helps to make it the most reliable repeating crossbow available today. Includes an AR-style length-adjustable stock with a standard buffer tube that delivers a variable length of pull with a stable and comfortable hold that rests on the shoulder, as well as making cocking easier. In addition, it can be customized using AR grips and AR stocks, giving shooters an easy method for adding the accessories they want. Another upgrade is the fiber optic front sight that enables faster target acquisition and more-precise aiming. The top of the crossbow also offers a Picatinny optics rail and the front has laser sight. This crossbow can be safely loaded with up to six arrows ahead of time because the bolts are stored inside the magazine and the crossbow will only shoot when cocked. That means it can be carried loaded and is ready to shoot quickly after a simple cocking motion. The unique magazine also enables quick follow-up shots, something seldom seen on crossbows of any size. Durable impact-resistant and UV-resistant polymer construction Integrated 6-arrow polymer magazine Length-adjustable AR-style buttstock with standard buffer tube Max. velocity: up to 220 FPS* Max. energy: up to 15.2 FPE* Ridged and textured pistol grip Removable ridged vertical foregrip Laser sight Picatinny optics rail Fiber optic front sight Bottom Picatinny accessory rail Sling loop Overall length: 21.9" to 24.9" Width: 17.5" Overall height: 8.6" (includes foregrip) Weight: 2.56 lbs.

Remington 870 Super-Mag 12 Gauge 3.5 Inch Fieldmaster Synthetic
Howdy Townpost. I am selling this Remington 3.5inch Super-Mag that I picked up from BassPro in Calgary. I never got around to shooting it but I got a deal on it so I'm willing to let it go for cheaper than usual. This was a store demo gun, which essentially means it was dry cyled and shown to customers a few times. It's more or less a brand new shotgun. There's hardly any wear on it with the exception of some cosmetic blemishes from some small patches of surface rust that formed on the parkerized receiver. I suspect they never oiled it and peoples hands or just some moisture caused it. I cleaned it off and oiled the whole gun. It's pretty smooth even though it's a new gun and hasn't been broken in. The rubber recoil pad is still nice and soft The date code looks like AJ so it's a 2015 production. It was kicking around BassPro for almost 11 years! These regularly retail for $750+tax but occasionally go on sale for $650+tax. So I think $630 with no tax is not a bad deal for an essentially brand new shotgun. The shotgun is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide on the buyer's dime. It's pretty short when broken down, and is light so it should be relatively inexpensive to ship. If you live in Alberta I do get around the province a fair bit throughout the year, so if I happen to be heading to your area maybe we can do a meet up along the way on my travels to save you the shipping costs. PAL will be verified as per C-71.

$38000
Brass Casing Processing and Ammunition Reloading Business
For Sale $38,000 obo Willing to Part Out Brass Casing Processing and Ammunition Reloading Business I have for sale my brass casing processing and ammunition reloading business venture. Due to sudden health changes, I can no longer do this and have to sell quickly. Make me an offer. I have acquired all the equipment and raw materials to get the business up and running. There is enough brass casings to provide a return of approximately 25% to 40% of capital investment, at new prices. I have purchased all this equipment new, most of it imported from the USA, from Dillion Precision and Mark 7 to name a few, paying for all shipping and import duties. Due to these sudden health changes, I am no longer able to proceed with my home based business, and I have to sell it all immediately. My plan was to do this as a hobby, and take the processed brass to gun shows, farmers markets and other local and provincial events that I could attend. Processed brass does not require a PAL to possess and/or sell/purchase. Process brass that is unloaded does require a PAL to possess and/or sell/purchase. I am an avid hunter, sport shooter, and into long range accuracy as well. I was also going to reload my own ammunition with the same equipment, so I purchased the best possible for the most accurate and reliable brass and ammunition possible. I am not selling any gun powder, primers, bullets or completed ammunition. I would like to sell this as a package to an interested party. Breaking it up may make it less enticing to an interested party, but I may sell equipment individually if there is no interest in the whole package. Most of the equipment is unused, so it is in new condition. The rest of the equipment has limited use, to verify setup parameters and test end product for SAMMI specs and accuracy, so it is in near new condition. The brass is government issued, once fired, purchased through GCSurplus auction site. If you are skilled at brass processing and ammunition reloading, and are looking to expand your hobby into a small home based business that can turn a profit quickly, with reliable top quality equipment, this is what you are looking for. I have taken most of the guess work out of sourcing the proper equipment, providing all the operating and maintenance manuals to go along with equipment, with some resource books to help perfect your product. If you are part of a gun club that likes to process brass and reload their own ammunition, this is ideal for you. Please call me to view equipment, and I can answer any questions you may have. Please be aware, this is all high end processing and reloading equipment and it is not cheap to buy new. Yes, I am looking to sell, and yes I am will to negotiate, but be aware my price is still high, but not near the price you would pay to buy new today. I am asking $38,000 or best offer. Delivery and loading assistance can be arranged. Mike Logan 587-984-5851 mikelogan33833@yahoo.ca Edmonton, Alberta area
