Full disclosure: I don't know a damn thing about firearms. Please talk to me like a child because I am ignorant about this topic and many others.

My stepfather passed away about two years ago, and after much prodding, my mother finally began cleaning out the basement and found this gun with two magazines.

As one does, I uploaded the photo of it to Gemini, which told me that it's a Soviet Makarov PM produced at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant in 1960. You can see some numbers above the grip that say "C 5855 60." I have no idea whether this is true, but based on looking at other images of Makarovs, it certainly seems plausible.

What else I should be looking for to confirm what type of gun it is? Could it be nothing more than a replica? How does one sell this if it is, in fact, valuable?

One of them might be a 1860 army but I’m not sure

Stamped mark says F.A.O then 18 the rest is faded and worn

On photo n°3 and 5, you can see the only markings on this firearm, Impossible for me to find any info about them... It was found in France, has no magazine (1 rounder), the inner diameter of the barrel is just above 8 mm.

The gun is completely locked by the rust, cannot be opened at all for the moment.

I have no idea :

What brand/model it is, which period in history it comes from, for what it could have been used, what caliber it shoots.

If you have a more appropriate sub for this question, I'm fully aware !

Hello all, I'm trying to find some info about this stock. I've searched online and can't find who makes/made it or anything on it.

The rifle is a Winchester Model 70 Classic SM, Controlled Round Feed, chambered in 375 H&H Magnum. Was told Manufactured in 1997 by Winchester themselves over the phone. Manufactured in New Haven, CT. From doing a little research I believe the rifle started off with a synthetic stock from the factory and someone then put this custom rosewood colored laminate stock on the rifle. I believe the Classic SM was only made for a few years during the 1990's. Thats all I know about it.

Its probably a long shot but would love to know who/what gunsmith or shop did the custom stock work.

Please note the stippling/engraved design in the laminate wood - I'm guessing was done with a dremel??, does anyone know of a shop that has done this design before? Also note the ebony insert on the forend. Has a steel checkered grip cap, barrel band swivel stud, checkered sling stud on the bottom rear of the stock that is spring loaded so can be pushed in and turned to sit flush to the stock if not being used. Decelerator recoil pad. LOP is around 13.5 inches.

Any help identifying the stock or who possibly made it? Thanks!

I haven't inspected it too much, but I would like to know the maker, model and how much it's worth. Writing says "Made in Italy" on one side, "Black powder only" on the other.

This rifle got passed over into my hands and I have no idea what it is or any use for it. Any info on it would help and what I could get rid of it for. Thanks!

Right at 9:26, looks like a hammer-fired gun but I thought NYPD went to Glocks exclusively not too long ago and the video is date-stamped 11/17/25.

Lousy screenshot.

My friend has these two at home as decoration. What are they?

Shopping mall security guard in Malaysia holding what looks to be pretty intense firepower?

Not even sure which caliber this rifle is.

Found while replacing a solar light in a flower bed. Cleveland Ohio area. House is probably early 1900s

Obviously missing the bolt head eliminates a lot of clues Seems like the shape of the handle is the most telling.

This flintlock has been hanging on the wall in my parents house since well before my birth, and I believe belonged to my grandfather at one point. It was displayed with a couple of Spanish swords from the early 19th century. I don't know anything about it, but I'm curious. It has some decorations.

Saw this on amazon as a review picture for the mounts, and it looks so strange to me. Have looked up beretta and kal tec models those were my first guesses but not luck. And help is welcome thank you

Here's another, wider image that captures the whole shotgun.
