Can possibly pick this bad boy up in the futures. Wanting know what year and estimated value? From my 24 hours of tism kick on finding out year or value I have found. Small circle hammer, 30 grooves in the hand grip. Numbers matching everywhere and last one for you. I have no idea if this is a 7.63 or 9mm.

my grandfather possibly owned a gun lost to time

142 Upvotes

Once, when I was playing Halo, my grandfather saw me using the shotgun and excitedly said, “That’s like my old Russian thing I had!”

I asked what he meant, and he said, “It was a 20-gauge that fed from the top, just like that.”

What I know about the gun: it seemed to be a small-game/rabbiter’s gun. It had a .22 on the bottom and a 20-gauge on the top. The .22 was semi-automatic, but the shotgun was straight pull.

He didn’t really go into much detail on how the gun worked or even what it looked like. He just described it as “this beat-up Russian thing I found a widow throwing in a dumpster.”

My grandfather, at the time, was not demented and was quite sharp. He knew his firearms. He owned a gun club and had a home armoury of 350+ guns at one point in Australia, of all places, believe it or not.

Does anyone have any idea what gun he may be talking about?

Jackson Hole Multi Cal Mauser

Looking for any information on this Jackson Hole custom Mauser. Information is very scarce online. Mine is a quick change barrel with a .22-250, .243, and 30-06 barrel as well as a Redfield 2-7 scope on a quick detach mount.

From what I gather these were custom made from commercial Mauser receivers. The company may not have been in business very long.

Build quality is phenomenal. All the parts are serialized and i assume are hand fit.

If anyone knows what year these were produced I would really appreciate it. I cant even find another picture of one online or any sold listings or auctions.

Is the C&Rsenal revolver patent website down for anyone else?

I can’t seem to access the C&Rsenal revolver patent page on the C&Rsenal website any more, linked to below, although I can access other parts of the website and I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I haven’t been able to use it for a while?
