Description
Welcome to C&Rsenal, the old gun show.

Our mission is to document and describe historical military small arms from across the world. We hope to share our love for all the attention that went into the design, development, manufacture, and issuance of these pieces.

C&Rsenal German Mauser Karabiner 1898 The original carbine form of the 1898 Mauser infantry rifle wasn't adopted until June of 1902, though it was preceded by two very extended trials models which were similar but tailored for either artillery/machine gunners or cavalry. The barrel has been reduced to 44cm and it has its own smaller Lange vizier set for just 1,200 meters maximum. The muzzle terminates in a large cap and sight protector and it has an unusual, narrow extension of the forestock that passes through the H-band/bayonet lug. The handguard is only half length. To prevent prodding and snagging, the bolt handle has been turned down and flattened into a "spoon handle" shape. These carbines had a fairly short service life as the adoption of a spitzer cartridge made them a bit too flashy and loud for most soldiers. Most were shipped on to Africa where the older ammunition was still in play. Check out our gallery! We're adding to it every weekday. https://candrsenal.com/arms-gallery/ (2 hours ago)
 
 
C&Rsenal Belgian F.N. 1910 Pocket Pistol John Moses Browning's pistols were split between Colt's Patent Firearms in the U.S. and Fabrique Nationale in Belgium, initially by whether or not they were locked breach but soon by general market. F.N. had produced his Model 1900 pocket pistol, which introduced the slide operated, blowback handgun to much of the world. Colt caved to blowback with the very popular Model 1903 "Hammerless." The FN 1910 can be seen as taking the lessons that led to the 1903 and building on them. It features an enclosed slide that cannot be removed to the rear of the pistol, safer for the operator. It sports both an automatic grip safety and a manual thumb safety. Browning made the pistol more compact by wrapping the recoil spring around the barrel. The FN 1910 also in development when the .380 ACP cartridge was introduced. This allowed it to be chambered for either .32 or .380 by simply changing the barrel out.

C&Rsenal Danish Madsen 1905 Light Machine Gun Danish Artillery Officer Wilhelm Herman Oluf Madsen (1844-1917) partnered with gunsmith Julies Alexander Nicolej Rasmussen to develop a series of autoloading rifles which began being demonstrated in 1884. These designs would eventually evolve into one of the earliest light machine guns. The version here is considered the "Model 1905" thanks to specifics about it's cartridge interrupter and various fittings. Overall the Madsen works somewhat like a recoil operated, upside-down Spencer shotgun thanks to its tilting breechblock with built-in elevator. The magazine is arranged vertically, feeding through the bottom into the left side of the receiver. While pre-war sales were slow, during the early days of WWI the remaining available stock of Madsens like these were purchased in secret by Germany.

C&Rsenal U.S. Burgess Folding Gun Model 1895 Shotgun Burgess' wrist-pump shotgun had an extremely simple takedown as it had no action bar running alongside the tubular magazine. This same advantage provided the means to easily adapt the shotgun into a folding configuration. Burgess fitted up a cylinder bore, 20" barrel (standard riot length) and designed a large holster so that the shotgun might be kept on a lawman's hip. This folding riot gun was marketed to both cavalry and law enforcement and famously demonstrated for Theodore Roosevelt when he was serving as President of New York's board of Police Commissioners. He ordered 100. Learn More: https://youtu.be/sZZg4HQ18Rs Check out our gallery! We're adding to it every weekday. https://candrsenal.com/arms-gallery/ (5 days ago)
