Random Gun Pics...let’s see how random we can make it

[Captcurt]

Had couple of nice ones come through this week. A pretty slick Model 70 from 1952 chambered for 257 Roberts. I drooled a little on it. Then there is a Remmy 81 in 300 Savage. I get to see some nice stuff.

Nothing unusual about this one. Just an older S&W model 10, but it was my step dads sidearm when he was an Airforce Pilot during the Korean War, so it is pretty special in my book.

Makarov in 9x18. Is this an appealing, random gun? I've owned five: two Bulgys, two "EG" and a commercial "R" in .380.

I was hoping that to add context: that a bearded, sweaty dude had posed with one.
Alas, had to settle for her photo.... ...Somebody would have read this only 'at face value'. They require emojis.

Actress/model Paulina Andreeva as apprentice detective in "The Method" (---Netflix series--). To be crystal clear about "timing" , I watched all of this series plus Paula in "Better Than Human" a year ago.

So I rooted through my TC Contender collection today and found this rather unique one.

The previous owner did a decent job of fitting the Disney World medallion to the but of the Contenders grip.
Do you think Mickey would approve?

My FFL had a couple of WWII guns today.

First was a 1943-manufactured 1911A1, serial 1123xxx range. Its most likely an arsenal rebuild with a Colt frame, Remington-Rand slide. Parkerizing is pretty good and consistent all over, barrel bore was shiny and perfect. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was rebuilt and refinished a time or two and then stashed in an armory somewhere after the last refurbishment.





He also had a Rock-Ola M1 Carbine, serial 4616xxx range. This was being broken down for a good cleaning, and was in need of a stock because the one that came with it was thrashed . This gun wasn’t as pristine on the outside as the 1911A1, but it had more original metal parts.





A couple of old warriors, I just wish they could tell their stories.

Stay safe.

Riomouse911:

Although I've always preferred the compact size guns, those original-vintage 1911s are Very cool.

Maybe IMFDB (movies/tv guns database) lists episodes of the 1960's Combat series where they were used a bit? Might search for that.

I don’t know, could be. I was told these were bought from a family of a Korean War- era vet via an estate sale, they could be CMP buys, “duffle bag” guns he acquired from his service or ones just bought by the original owner here and there.

Stay safe.

Curious as to what they were asking for them, if you know.

I think they are hanging onto them, they've built a pretty neat collection of stuff over the past few years.

Ill ask though when I go back in 10 days or so to pick up a newly bought S&W.

Stay safe.

Looks like the business end of a Nock Volley Gun!

I immediately thought of Patrick Harper's volley gun (Sharpe's Rifles).

How about my Savage Axis II XP in 6.5 Creedmoor...

 

[Captcurt]

I got a new H&K SL8 to list today. My LGS lets me list guns that we don't have a market for locally. I get to see some nice stuff. Got a 1894 Marlin 357 too.

627 with a 6 inch blue barrel that I found on the internet. It was a 5 inch gun and I wanted a longer sight radius.

I also added a Millet rear sight which I found better than the stock sight from S&W.

I used this gun for ICORE, USPSA and Steel Challenge Competitons and shot Master Class.

That is a zillion dollar piece of wood. Absolutely Gorgeous!

Yeah I would say that too... +1000!

Just taking in all of that beautiful grain pattern, it's truly amazing! Love the Purple Heart wood on the pistol grip cap and on the forend; a nice custom touch!

Did you do the stock yourself? If so you did a fantastic job of it!

I had an S&W Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman. I sold it to a friend because he is a good friend and he really wanted it. I missed it, so I replaced it. I also replaced the factory original Magna grips with these finger groove target grips which are a better fit for my gnarled fingers. This one stays.

Revolvers…

“Be not afraid of any man
That walks beneath the skies,
The big he be or small you be
for I will equalize.”

Right?

Cool.
