Nice looking wood on those guns pictured, I really like the Martini.
One way for a company to clean up is take a lot of deposits for a popular item then file bankruptcy. The deposits are carefully figured to be high enough to be profitable but lower than legal...
A 1905 Hand Ejector Target Model made in 1940. It has British proofs and it was bought by the British Purchasing Comission in a lot from S&W when they were buying anything that shot after Dunkirk.

Nice rifle, a great example of why the 1892 SRC was popular world wide.
I'll have to try this caliber out, I have a 32 H&R cylinder for my SA modern Lightning that I've never used.
Bought the flintlock pocket pistol in the center, of French origins and late 1700s, 50 caliber, it reminded me of the one used by Charles Andre Meda to shoot Robespierre in this painting. The...

Good buck, sounds like you had a productive season.

Excellent rifles, I put a tang peep sight on mine and a white dot front. Load with 5744 powder behind an Accurate bullet that I can't remember the number of.

I do get a little "crunch" when closing the bolt, but the accuracy is great with the loads I use so I've never changed. I'm looking at a similar profile bullet for 30 caliber as I want to get similar...

It's been my go to mold for any 32-40 or 32 SP I own with good results.

You bought a good rifle, I really like my old 1895 30-40.
We all tend to see things in the past through today's or more recent history's lens. Early Colt autos like the 1902 and Pocket Hammer had no safety at all other than a half cock notch. It's just the...
I had one and sold it, like others have said, while it was fun to shoot it wasn't quite as accurate as either my Ruger or Smith. On the other had I bought earlier, and still own one of the first DE...
An old commercial 1911 from 1916. Back story sees it going to El Paso then probably over the border where it was nickel plated and picked up it's ivory. Back across the border to El Paso sometime...
Always good to see old pocket guns get out to the range.
I'm inclined to used pure lead bullets and BP for that revolver.

Shot 36 cartridges out of the 405 today, with the glove on it was an exhilarating experience rather than a painful one.

I just run the 30-30 brass through the 32 special size die and then load it up. As far as shooting 30-30 ammo in the 32 special, my only close experience has been shooting 32-40 in a Winchester that...

The 405 just beats the knuckle on my middle finger. Years ago when I shot silhouette I use golf gloves for the Model 29. At 65 I don't have the tolerance for beatings like I did in my 20s.

I've always been amused by the logic behind zinc wheel weights as being in some way more environmentally sound. All of the yellow on all of the highways is mandated by the same government to be made...
