In 1963 I was an 18 year old with the cowboy bug. Bought a Hy Hunter revolver and practiced fast-draw in front of a mirror. Last week, at a local gun show, I found this jewel. Hawes, as new in the...

I have showed it to several people without telling them. I just say "take a look at this". Most don't even notice 'till I point out to them that it's funny money. Great conversion piece...

Thank You! And Thank You to all the vets out there!

My ride for 3 1/2 years...

Bought this Sig P238 at a local gun show. It's like a mini 1911.

Does the lower indicate any caliber? Or does it just say "Multi Cal"?

RIA 1911A1. The holster came to me from the estate of a WWII B-26 pilot. I don't think it is GI.

I have a Gras and used fire formed .348 Win brass. Came out a little short but worked fine.

Here's another one from the gun show last weekend.

Colt 1917 Army, US Property marked, made in 1919. What caught my eye was the blued cylinder. Sometime in its life
someone replaced the 45acp...

My very first selfie. Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead...

Found this Llama "Extra" at a local gun show this weekend. 9MM Largo / 38acp. Seems very well built and an exact copy of a Colt 1911 except the slide is 3/8" longer and the barrel is 5 1/2".

Here's my new acquisition. 5 1/2" Secret Service Special. SN 25296, 38S&W. Functions good and bore is excellent. Going to load up some BP ammo for it.

So True. But, there's the insurance problem. It's kind of a gamble.

This has been discussed at length on one of the muzzleloader forums. Apparently there is a fairly new USPS policy that all
antique and/or muzzleloader handguns must be sent to a FFL or C&R license...

Thank you, gentlemen...

Not long ago I bought a 1995 Mazda B2300 beater for dump runs and such. Last week I went to check the oil and when I pulled the hood latch, under the dash, nothing... Feels like the cable is either...

Early in the 20th century there were several Spanish companies making all sorts of knock-off firearms. Because this example has a grip safety it looks to be a copy of a Smith & Wesson "Lemon...

My hard-corps Lutheran Grand mother called it the "Pope's Nose". It was her favorite.

I found this one at a gun show several years ago, $3.00. Pulled a lot of 8mm surplus ammo bullets. Even did some 7.62X39
steel case bullets. It worked okay till arthritis started to make it too hard...

I have a propane stove and water heater. If I'm careful about hot water use I can go 12-14 days with a 20lb
(5gal) tank. If I bake something in the oven the gas goes fast. Less than a week.

Well, it is a handgun. 1777 Charleville .69 smoothbore. Purchased from a fellow forum member. Italian made replica.
