Thread: Tasters' Choice: Fine Firearms

Gents,
here is a little of my own gear, the 40 cal lancaster style rifle, 44'' swamped collerain barrel and jim chambers lock. The henry I often carry on horseback, and is a real good shooter.
The knife is damascus steel by a local custom knife maker, expat sth African police armourer, does lovely work. He also made a lovely throwing 'hawk for me with a heart cut out in the blade.
You blokes in the previous posts have some real nice gear.


cheers

Here's one I'm keeping. US Rifle, Caliber .30 M-1 made by Winchester, circa 1942. WB cartouched stock.



The poncho it's laying on is WW II USMC, dated 1944.

Yeah Tiger,

That's what I'm talkin' about. A real oldschool tool. I have wanted to get one through the NRA surplus program for a long time. I'd bet it will still drive tacks. You're smart to hold onto it.

Best,
Jimbo

W0w!!

I want a flintlock so bad!!! I love the simplicity of it! The history! If only I was close to an outdoor range. A drawback to living in the burbs.....

I also lust after the 1858 remington new army. Still a great pistol after all these years.
