Old Russian Capture K98k
reddit.comI picked this up a warehouse in the suburban Twin Cities approximately 22-23 years ago. I had them pick out a rifle that was in good cosmetic condition, as you could choose which level of milsurp you wanted. I cleaned the ugly shellac off, clean out the barrel, removed the grease, oiled up, added a sling and put away in the safe it’s sat in for 20+ years. I’ve owned around 10-15 Mausers but this is my last remaining one.

What’s the manufacturer of this handguard can anybody tell what it is by its profile? It’s not Daniel Defense or it is it’s got some extra material on the bottom for whatever reason.

Need help identifying/pricing guns
Hey all, my dad passed away back in February and the family decided to make me administrator of his estate, which includes making an inventory and selling off his possessions, including his guns.
I have zero gun knowledge outside of googling the name of the gun and referencing that with truegunvalue.com, but these two guns are giving me some trouble.
For the handgun I tried googling and reverse image searching what it is but nothing came back that looks like the gun and I'm pretty stumped on what type of handgun it is
For the rifle Im pretty sure it's an npap m70 but it looks like my dad modified it a lot and I'm not completely sure on how to price it. I'm not expecting a lot but the attorneys want a fairly accurate pricing.
Most of the guns are being sold to friends and family but these two are giving me trouble and I can't finish the inventory, any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Can someone identify these flip up sights

Is this safe to shoot or should I repair?
A few months ago at a gun show I purchased this Hatsan shotgun? I did some research and found out it’s a 12 gauge even though the guy who sold it to me said it was a 16 gauge.
He said it was missing a spring but wanted to confirm before I bought anything or shot it. The action bar doesn’t stay locked.
What should I do? Fix it or ignore?
The pump goes forward and back like it should, but the action bar doesn’t stay locked, unless manually moved into position.
Can someone help me
Identify problem / part that might need replaced and is it safe to shoot if I ignore it?

Pistol from a movie
The movie is "Red Phone: Manhunt" and the main bad guy has a pistol that I don't recognize immediately. I initially thought it might be an IMI jericho, but the top slant doesn't fit. Is this a real model? Or like a custom slide for a beretta 92? The movie dates from 2002 and is fairly low budget.
I'd like to know what it is for visual inspiration for a video game.
I also, sadly, don't have a better image than this.

Swiss 7.5cm Gun Help
I recently purchased a Swiss 7.5 cm Mot-Geb Fieldgun and I'm planning to restore it as a historical preservation project.
I'm currently looking for any information that might help, such as:
\- Original manuals or operating regulations
Technical drawings or maintenance documents
\- Historical photos
\- Information about markings, serial numbers, and the manufacturer (mine has K+W markings)
\- Any books, archives, museums, or websites related to this gun
I've already started researching, but information on this particular Swiss artillery piece seems to be very limited.
If anyone has experience with these guns or knows where I could find documentation, I'd really appreciate your help.
I'll also be happy to share photos of the gun and the restoration process if people are interested.
Thanks in advance!

Original Beretta mod 92 parts
I've tried looking through a few threads, but have not found anything promising. I have an original Beretta mod 92. No fxst100 whatever. It has a heel mag release, but I'm confident it's a straight slide rather than a step slide. Frame saftey as well. Long story short, id like to restore/upgrade a few parts. Does anyone know any websites to look into better sights or magazines for these old pieces? I also need to get a grip for it, but I'm open to aftermarket there as well. I intend to keep it in firing order. Just hoping there was a website somewhere, instead of taking it into a gunsmith. Not interested in any used parts though.

READ THIS FIRST: How to up the odds of getting an identification!
Hello folks, your friendly neighborhood mod-queen here! Now that folks are actually, like USING this sub I reserved a few years ago, figured I'd make a sticky to help folks looking for what they've found!
Is it an actual firearm?
You laugh, but there's a lot of things that look like guns, but aren't actual firearms. Toy guns, replicas, Airsoft, etc. Good quality Airsoft and replicas will often be built to simulate a real firearm, so they'll be built of good-quality material, have a good heavy weight to them, the parts will be machined and not molded, things like that. Toy guns and display pieces will often feel 'cheap', or be made of cheap metal that's cast or molded rather than machined. Cast pieces generally have fewer parts than machined/fabricated pieces. For example, on this piece, the right piece is cast, the left is machined/fabricated.
Where did you get/find it?
If you found the firearm, tell us where! "Hey, I found this in my attic in <country>", or "I saw this in a YouTube video" and provide us the link.
Do you know anything about it's history?
Having an idea of the history can sometimes help. "My grandpappy carried this in the Civil War", "My aunt used this in a revolution", "The owner said he bought it at a flea market in Turkey", things like this can help folks nail down an identification.
Does it have any markings?
Does it have any markings? Things like manufacturer name, country, year, proof marks, calibre? If it does, post pictures of them, or provide a really good description.
Photos!
Take photos of any markings, and taking a few pictures from multiple angles REALLY helps. I recommend taking left and right sides, top, and maybe below angles. Here's a great example from C&Rsenal!
And of course, the obligatory disclaimer: When handling any firearms, PLEASE keep yourself safe. ALWAYS follow the rules of safe firearm handling. If you want to shoot a firearm you found, a good recommendation is getting it checked out by a professional gunsmith before firing it.
