After a multi-month restocking hiatus, we are again taking orders at Elk Creek Company. Here are our updated inventory counts:
- Pre-1899 Antique Rifles: 24 (We have deeply restocked 7×57 and 6.5×55 Mauser rifles.)
- Pre-1899 Antique Shotguns: 9 (Most are 12 gauge and most of them have fluid steel barrels!)
- Pre-1899 Antique Pistols and Revolvers: 21 (Mostly S&W top break revolvers.)
- Blackpowder Revolvers: 23 (Most are .44 caliber, with modern cartridge conversion cylinders available. We have deeply restocked the much-in-demand Ruger Old Army revolvers.)
- Blackpowder Rifles: 7 (Most of them are .50 Caliber deer/elk hunting rifles.)
- Knives and Bayonets: 24 (Edged weapons and tools from the 1870s to the 2010s.)
- Magazines and Other Accessories: 7 types (These include some scarce original Rhodesian camouflage-painted FAL magazines!)
No paperwork is required for buyers in most states! (Consult your state and local laws before ordering.)
We accept payment by USPS PMO, check, or pre-1965 U.S; silver coinage at a divisor that changes often. That divisor is presently at an all-time high of 58-to-one! (Just take the total for your order and divide by 58. For example, say that you are ordering an antique rifle priced at $750 plus $45 postage. (A total of $795.) You would pay just $13.70 face value in U.S. silver in any mixture of 1964 or earlier dimes, quarters, and half dollars.

We need a few more entries for Round 123 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest. More than $981,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. Round 123 ends on March 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail us your entry. Remember that there is a 1,500-word minimum, and that articles on practical “how-to” skills for survival have an advantage in the judging. In 2023, we polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics. Please refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic.
