I like that carbine, Jedman. I hope it's a good one for you. As for meself, I traded for my second Remington 510 Targetmaster. I just plunked a bit with it and it shoots like I knew it would. This one is d&t correctly as a bonus. The patina is sweet.

I bought a new 1911 Kimber Eclipse in 45acp to replace one I sold to a buddy years ago. It was the only 1911 I ever owned. I made him promise to let me have first dibs on buying it back but he forgot about that and sold it to someone else. So I found a won an auction for a new one on GB for $850 which is cheaper than used ones are selling for locally.
I hadn't forgotten how well I shoot a 1911 compared to the plastic guns. In the last few years, I've sold off my Glocks and have been going back to revolvers and was missing the all steel 1911. I shot it 2 weeks ago, bought a mold for it from the S&S here and have enjoyed it so far. Now I want to buy a Dan Wesson Commander and its been all I can do to NOT buy it this week.
I bought a Lipsey's Ruger Blackhawk 45 convertible. Should be here if a few days.

Unfired Marlin 336CS from 1994. It is pristine. Now to find brass and a mold.
Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39. Mounted a Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 in Nikon low rings and have yet to get to the range...hopefully today.
A fun little shooter; a Zastava M70 in .32 ACP as imported by Navy Arms. They basically polished it up and reblued it. It has some minor rust pitting everywhere. But the barrel is really nice. Thus it is a shooter and not really much of a collectors item. With the 4 inch barrel and somewhat decent sights it might make for a fair rabbit gun too. But it was inexpensive.

NIB RIA parkerized 1911. Now to get the parkerizing to turn green.

A Beretta 92G Elite LTT! Butter smooth double action and single action better than a lot of rifles I've fired, and just a great shooter!

An E.Arthur Brown BF hunting pistol.... in 7mm BRM.
That looks goodddddddddddd!
I'm in Australia and 99.9% of the handguns imported here are in SS. I have a pair of 45 Vaqueros like yours in SS and wold swap them for blued ones in a heartbeat.

Attachment 258803I just sold 2 rifles and a shotgun and guess some of the money had to go back in to my guns.
I bought 2 Star BM pistols from J&G just to keep when the surplus dries up.
Funny in over 50 years of buying, selling and trading several hundred guns that I have owned these are the first 9mm's I have ever owned. I don't see me shooting them much but they are nicely made very similar to a 1911 and @ $ 179 thought I would get a couple.

Just picked up a 7.62X25 Romanian Tokarev from Classic Firearms. Looks to me that this pistol has been no more than test fired. The bluing is perfect and not even rub marks on the rails. These are worth a look @ $199 Very happy with the condition of mine. Barrel slugs .312 and dummy rounds plunk test at the same. .313 bullets can be loaded in S&B brass and pushed into the chamber but they're tight. Gp
By all means don't shoot those Stars, Jedman- because then you will want to keep them.

I got another S&W m41 excellent condition from 1968. Working on another Hi-Standard HD Military. S&W big bore Ns in P&R have dried up. Everybody trying to dump new stuff and break even, ain’t gonna happen.
Just to get this back to the top page! Just before the guano hit the blades.The local shop had a CZ 457 - 22lr on the shelf. This gun showed up in mid January first and vanished quickly.(the owner took for himself) It was a thing of beauty! Great wood and nice bluing. The first week in March(maybe the last week in Feb.) it was back on the rack again. Unfired, the owner had decided he wanted something else more. Happy me! After checking it over again it joined my herd! Mounted a Nikon scope and it is ready to head for the range when this thing settles down some. I could go now but this part of Wyoming is a little windy in the Spring and I have decided to wait. Happy Trails to all and Stay Safe, Binky
It was a Marlin 1894 CL in 25-20. unfired til I got my hands on it. it really likes the 257420 bullet. shoots nice.

Now that's NICE......I bought a Lipsey's Ruger Blackhawk 45 convertible. Should be here if a few days.
Last gun I bought is a bit of an odd ball Comanche .357Mag Revolver.
Sporterized O3-A3 Springfield with a heavy barrel chambered in 30 Br and a nice set of Redfield match sights
