About MatchMyGun
A collector's reference for firearms history — what they are, when they were made, what the marks on them mean, and who kept the records. Written by one person, and held to one rule.
Why this site exists
This site was not built to promote the sale of firearms, or the idea that firearms should be unregulated. It was built to keep a historical memory of them.
No firearms are offered for sale here. Nothing on this site is for sale. There is no shop and no inventory behind any page you read here. What is here is a reference: 15609 firearms, 211 calibers and 136 researched guides, built to be checked rather than browsed.

Corrections are welcome and are acted on
Our Standards
Only what can be sourced
Every data point is traced to a published source, and the source is named on the page so you can check it yourself.
A stated gap beats a guess
Where a date cannot be traced to a published record, the page says so instead of filling the blank.
Published sources
Data cites SAAMI, CIP, manufacturer archives, or the published chart a result came from. No guesswork.
Fast corrections
Verified data errors fixed within 48 hours. Report issues via Contact.
