Installed with a Halcon compensator[1]

Please remove the photo of the M1A1’s “Hollywood” edition.

[edit]

The firearm never used a cylindrical barrel. Please change the photo to something more historically accurate. 174.165.213.3 (talk) 03:00, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Thompson submachine gun

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Thompson submachine gun's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "jones2009":

  • From M3 submachine gun: Jones, Richard D.; Ness, Leland S., eds. (January 27, 2009). Jane's Infantry Weapons 2009/2010 (35th ed.). Coulsdon: Jane's Information Group. ISBN 978-0-7106-2869-5.
  • From SKS: Jones, Richard D. Jane's Infantry Weapons 2009/2010. Jane's Information Group; 35th edition (27 January 2009). ISBN 978-0-7106-2869-5.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT 12:54, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No action needs to be taken here. This ref was mass-inserted by an IP in a copy-paste action, across multiple articles, without regard for whether it was accurate, or reflective of the information in the article; I've reverted all instances of it's addition by that IP.

Citations for collector's value from COI

[edit]

Placing this here since I have a COI with the cited source: Speaking to the value on the collector's market, there are 2 listings in this list from GunBroker.com: https://www.gunbroker.com/c/article/21-most-expensive-guns-sold-on-gunbroker-in-april-2024/ Item #16: Sold for $24,075.00 USD on 7 April 2024, and item #2 sold for $46,125.00 (also on 7 April 2024). I will add more to this list as they come up to give a clearer picture of average value in the current market. LoVeloDogs (talk) 22:57, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing this. But it's not clear what change to the article text you're asking for (if any)? I'm assuming there's either a text change you're looking for, or adding an additional citation, into the Collector Value section?

Thank you for your reply! I've been adding these to various gun model pages in case it was of any interest to other editors who felt it may add to the article.
In this case, there are values listed under ==Collector interest== that align with what I provided, but they are not cited:
"An original Colt Model 1921 A or AC, Model 1927 A or AC, Model 1928 Navy A or AC, properly registered in working condition with original components can easily fetch from US$25,000 to $45,000+ depending on condition and accessories." LoVeloDogs (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, added. SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 04:48, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
