Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 45LC. Had the dies, bunch of brass, and a couple bullet molds I had aquired through a sale so why not.
Oops....another 1911 has found a new home with me.

Thanks Yall!
For 22 years I have been buying broken 22s to fix them.
I got 7 more cheap guns today.
Just ordered a 22 TCM bolt action , does that count
Either a beautiful Model 60-14 or the Ruger American Ranch in .300blk, I don't remember which came second on the receipt.
Old Savage 340C 222 Remington! Not a fancy rifle, BUT - aftermarket piece of wood with a TON of figure in it - prob $500 range these days - AND been fully glassed bedded. Came w/o mount/rings. And thought the last 1 1/2" bbl was a sewer pipe. Nope. Perfect little holes at 100 yds. So... Now, all set to reload, Weaver side mount/rings (about only option with this one) and a shiny new Leupold VX1 3x9. Just gotta find the time to load and test! Can't wait!
I just brought home a new Savage FCP-SR 308 Win. It has a 24" 1 in 10 Heavy fluted and threaded barrel. AccuStock and AccuTrigger and a ten round detachable magazine. Sat a nice Vortex scope on the rail. I haven't made it out to the range yet but it sure looks like it should shoot bug holes. lol I'll let ya all know. Gp
My gun purchases overlap, because they are not always purchased as "a gun." One gun doesn't always arrive on a given date. Sometimes it comes in pieces, and it may take a year or two to find all the parts.
There was the su-weet little custom underhammer stock and action, a Chas Daly Damascus double with one blown barrel, a Martini International MkIII that needs a stock. Then came a very nice "chunk" barrel for the underhammer, a donor damascus barrel to be grafted into the left side of the Daly, and I'm still looking for wood for the Martini. I'm not a purist. I do love anything that goes "Bang!"
There's no such thing as a bad gun. There are bad designs, and bad executions of those designs. There are bad workmanship, and bad materials. And I suppose I could come up with a host of other "bad'. But none of those are the gun's fault. Just because it was hammered out as a Pakistani blacksmith's or an Ohio youngster's first project, just because it looks like it is a piece of cra-ap, doesn't mean the gun itself is "bad." Good and bad infer a moral imperative. I look at that gun a kid butchered into a trap-line gun with a half damascened or case-hardened nail, or a drill-press turned and filed grade-8 bolt, annealed, filed, and tempered for a firing pin, and I love it. The stories behind them are fascinating.
But I'd sure like to know the story behind how that little Daly blew its barrel!
Henry "Big Boy", in 45 Long colt.
20" Octagon barrel, and unreal wood!
I am Absolutely amazed at the wood/l to metal fit! Some serious talent working at that factory!
I applyed some linseed oil to the wood, and hand rubbed the wood till it nearly burnt the skin on my hands for an after noon. Now the wood just glows and looks like you can see deep into the grain now!
Frontier Armory carbine in 9mm. These are a slightly scaled lower that uses Glock magazines. You have no idea how fast these fat little fingers can empty a 31 round magazine...
Glock 17A Gen4 with a few extra mags and a extra barrel (Wolff). All my Semi Auto pistols are 1911s, all but one Colts.
The A on the model number is an Australia only model, it comes with a slightly longer barrel with thread protector as we have a minimum 120mm barrel length for semi auto sporting pistols.
Photos coming up tomorrow.
Edit: Got the gun, shot it, went ok apart from rubbing my big trigger finger badly (Dremel will be used shortly), but my back was so bad I was almost beside myself and forgot the photos.

Life is so much better with dogs!
A nice Remington 1100 LT20, well used but runs like a watch after a good cleaning. Now on the lookout for a set of 20GA tools for my Pacific 360.
Ruger 77/357. Worked up a couple loads to try out in it whenever I can get to the range. Hopefully this week!
