I start off by saying I will post pics soon.
I am currently working on a Winchester 1873 in .22 short. They only made 19,000 over a 20 year span in .22 (1882 to 1902) and I would guess very few in the short configuration.
It has the same size octagonal barrel as the larger calibers but with...
Massive auction coming up online. I am not a fan of online auctions or the premiums but this one gets a look. Happy hunting!

I picked up one of the Washington DC assembled D 380's for the wife the other day. She wanted something she could manage around the property that was more than her fathers High Standard Double 9. For those that aren't aware of these pocket pistols, the Gun Control Act of 1968 stopped the...
Came across one of these the other day. Neat little guns that shoot well. I can't say I am crazy about the short grip but it doesn't effect it's ability to shoot.
It is a survivor in the fact it has lived out the entirety of it's life in a holster. Usually that means one side is a rusted mess...
I started off the morning sitting at the computer and drinking coffee with the door open. The squirrels, crickets and birds were all talking. I was feeling sorry for all the city people out there. I sit in the middle of my 60 acres of hilly unglaciated land in the southern part of the state and...
a Mossberg 42T with the attached target thrower? Believe it or not one came in to my LGS last week. It was sold before I saw it but those are kind of neat.
This is a pic off the internet but it looks the same. Load and cock the thrower and release, point with the rat shot and have all kinds of...
Mossberg .22 S,L,LR made only in 1935, 36, 37. Adjustable trigger, tube mag, tapped for scope or peep. Beautiful bore, slick action. The front sight is dove tailed so you can add what ever sight your pocket book can afford. A good classic shooter. Can be seen in "long guns" forum under "rifle...

What do you do when you come across a stock, that had everything you tell others to never try, already done to it? Run the other way?
I had bought a Mossberg number 46 from a friend a while back. The finish to the stock was done with a circular sander, it might as well have been an angle...
Every now and then I go through GunBroker to see what is out there, mostly looking for parts and such as I have more projects that the law allows. Just happened to be searching the Winchester section, actually looking at Model 12 parts, and came across a Model 24 that the time was running out on...
SOLD Sears Ted Williams Model 100 in 30-30 was made by Winchester. This is a rifle not a carbine model. Has cosmetic issues but mechanically great. Get it now and be ready when deer season gets here, it is just around the corner. I would like to get $450 for this one.

This is a rescue gun from an old man who kept it under his bed on shag carpeting for years. It has a 30in barrel that was open bore that he had professionally rolled to .690. It has a 2.75 in chamber and is a solid tight locking gun. I removed the rust and blued what was there, pits...
A client gave me a Winchester 1892 made in 1904 to conserve that is the exception to the rule. The exception? This one has a bore!
The last pic is to show where it looks like someone over the years took an ax to drift the rear sight. I can forgive him because he took good care of the...
I just scored a 1914 DWM P08 Luger from an Amishman. It was in a trade rather that bought outright but it is in good shootable condition.
It had been reblued in the past and is almost in the white again but it will clean up great. I will post pics as soon as I get it stripped down and out of...
I picked up another Winnie Model 12 today. The six digit serial number starts of with "666". It was a modified choke but someone rolled it down to about .650.
They did a good job and all, it doesn't look pinched like some do but I do wish it was still the modified.
I also grabbed a Browning...
I have a buddy that will be at the New Albany Gun Show this weekend that has a preban Springfield M1A and a real US Navy 7.62x51 conversion M1 with CMP papers for sale. Your choice $1800. Sounds steep until you look at what they are selling for now-a-days.
He also will have some Garand food...
This one takes place pretty much in my back yard so it is almost mandatory that I will be there. Anyone else planning on being there?
Mauser Mike has offered me a chair so I will be spending a lot of time at his spot, so stop by and lets get acquainted...
($6 to get in)
Now that I am back on blood thinners for life I feel like sharing with everyone how I got through it the last time (2 years).
Below is a picture of the neatest stuff I have come across. It gives you the blast, the smell, the excitement but no recoil. It has a 10gr plastic projectile that leaves...
