Just bought a Springfield M1A with wood stock and SS barrel.
Picked this 1913 vintage 1886 in 45-70 up a while back. great bore!

A scary one, AR10 from PSA with a 20" barrel. Had the dirtiest new barrel I ever purchased.

“You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.
He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

Not a whole "new gun" per say - but just bought a few items that are as close to a new handgun as I can get up here North of the border.
- Purchased a 40 slide for my M&P9 (previous owner took it off gun new when they upgraded to an optic ready model), as a bonus this came with a 357 SIG barrel.
- While many handgun parts are getting scarce in Canada, I did also manage to find an importer for a factory M&P 40 barrel to shoot in this rig as well, expecting delivery in next few weeks.
So kinda sorta two new handguns, lol
At least it will allow me to shoot Major down the road for IPSC if I decide to.
My last gun is a Winchester Model 70 fwt 3.00 WSM and it hurts to shoot it more than I thought it would. It is a beautiful rifle but I guess I am having a hard time realizing that my magnum days are behind me. The 150 gr factory ammo @ 3252 fps bite a bit on a prosthetic shoulder joint! It may be time to join the 6.5 Creedmoor crowd.

IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
Murf;
You're doing it wrong. That short case and more efficient powder burn eliminated all recoil!
My featherweight is a 257 Roberts, but at least that is what I read about the short magnum craze years ago...

yeah, right! I think somebody was selling snake oil then, LOL

Taurus Raging Hunter. in 44 Mag. I'm Warming up to it... Certainly Gentle Recoil!
Well Cap & Ball Pietta 1851 in .44 I know I know of those whom "Claim" non-existence of, Well I found their truth told by them, I let them own it. As for me I found out COLT had 4 made, NOW only one of those remain, as many as 9 are rumored but 4 claimed by COLT via a letter bearing Colts signature. Somewhere in the mid 1860s these were headed out for testing and recalled, Why? well simple answer is greed, COLT was set up on the 1851 Navy .36 realized Civil War is more Profitable running what he was set up on rather than retooling to the .44

Been trying to score one of these for a long time at a reasonable price. No box or paper...... i don't care... hopefully its a shooter.... I love 44 special.
Ordered Springfield Echelon recently, confirmed everything. Should arrive in a week or so!
I remember when those came out. Cover of Guns&Ammo. I had the wants for it bad.

I kick myself for not buying the Rossi version of it (mod 720) when Walmart sold them for $260.

6 inch model 29 Smith to go with the Ruger Marlin 44 mag that I recently purchased
Ruger .45 ACP LC carbine. It devours cast loads for 1911s. It uses Glock 21 mags. Now that I have five of them, I feel the need for Glock 21 to fit down over these mags. I am going to load up some Arsenal 230 gr. RN cast at +P velocities.
I have a friend who is shooting 200 gr. XTPs out of his at 1,400 fps over an insane load of Blue Dot.
