While digging around in the dark back corner of my safe a few minutes ago I found a pair of old Winchester model 67 single shots. Nothing too strange about that, except that I only remember owning one.
I don’t recognize the extra one and have no idea where it came from. I will admit to being an old man with a failing memory, but this is ridiculous…..
I loaned you that second model 67, please pack it up and ship to me!
They reproduced "Spontanous generation" as the Darwinians say
I Need your safe, I have a Pre64 Winchester 70 I sure would like to have 2nd one....
Model 67 was one of the most accurate guns I ever owned. I still own the gun, but haven't shot it in years. I musta killed a couple hundred squirrels with that gun when I was a teenager.

If you have (2) .22 rifles make sure you are not missing a .44 somewhere. It could be dividing instead of reproducing. My brother was looking for a rifle that he could not remember if he bought it or not.
See if you have a spare flintlock in there.
45nut has misplaced his.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
My elder brother once totally forgot where he hid his Mauser .25 1910 when he went on vacation and didn't want to take a chance on the pistol being stolen by a burglar while he was gone.
He found it again about two years later in a glass jar full of pinto beans in the pantry.
I have a model 67 that I've had since I was young. I still shoot it regularly and it's about the only open sighted rifle I can still hit well with at 100 yards. I think I've been shooting it for so long that my mind was able to adapt to the deteriorating sight picture as my eyes got progressively worse.
On another note; I once found a real nice Luger in our back porch freezer. Turns out a friend of mine forgot it was under his seat on the way into Canada and hid it there before getting to the border. I thought I'd gotten real lucky for a couple of days until he called.

I think your ******* with us as I have known every gun that I have ever owned.
A gun is like a parachute: If you need one and don't have one, you won't be needing one again.
You forgot rule # 1 about safes. when you start putting stuff in there it tends to pro-create! Twins are not unusual especially in guns we really like!Originally Posted by XBT
I have just the opposite problem. Today I was looking for a brand new Whetherby rifle I bougfht in 308 Winchester. I knew I had put it in my safe but I could not find it. I looked all through it and found rifles I have not lseen in years but no 308 Whetherby. I could not imagine where it went to so I started looking in other locations for it and finally broke down and asked my wife if she had seen it. Her answer floored me. She had lent it to her cousin so he could kill a dog that was sick and needed to be put down but the cousin did not have the money for the vet to do it. So my wife opened my safe and pulled the first rifle she could reach that there was ammo for on my shelf and gave it to her cousin. I called the cousin and he had it but had not used it yet as he did not have the guts to shoot his dog. So I went over and recovered my new rifle and shot his dog for him but I let him bury the critter.
Ouch, they sure are quick with the "Honey Do's" but tend to leave out the "Oh BTW's" sheesh!
On a similar note, woke up one night to the trash can being moved and went for my Taurus 850, only to find it gone! The 1911 was were I left it but untill I figgered out the coast was clear I was one worried puppy! Turns out she had loaned it to her mother.

I'm still looking for a Marlin lever in 35 rem I bought three years ago.

You, my man, need a locksmith.
XBT, if you find any of my Swensen, Kelsey, or Novak 1911s please return them. Same goes for the Fox SBS, S&W Registered .357s, and pre-64 M70s (especially the .220 and .375) you were storing for me.

If only I could get my Model 12's and target rifles to reproduce like your m67

Big +1 on that!
Akajun send them over we'll see what happens.
