My collection was mostly long arms and military surplus. I cant find any complete pics other than what i saved to PB.

Handguns...S&W) Pre mod. 17 K22, Mod. 19, Mod. 36, Mod. 5903, Mod. 629
SA 1911A1 "loaded"
Colt Custom shop Python

Long guns....too many to list I think the count was at 28 or 30 but included

US: M1903, M1917, M1 Navy Match, M1 Carbine.
USSR: Mosin Nagant short and long rifles of many year and styles, 2 SKS.
Germany: Mausers, from 88's to K98's
Various other Mauser's of different histories and capture.

Here's a few pics...

Brazilian Obendorf Mauser M1908...this is my favorite shooter. 7mm Mauser (7x57)


A few of my others, including the Garand, the Python, the M1903 and the weapon I went to

 

My FAL, this is an Israeli FAL (.308 NATO) heavy barrel. Kind of boring really but drew great looks at the range!






By far my favorite shooter, fun fun fun and fairly accurate too! The M1 Carbine!





I was proud of this one, kind of unusual in that it was an American rifle of Brit heritage. The M1917. Sgt. York of WWI was famous for this rifle.







This was a small percentage of the safe crammed full of bolt action rifles but alas, no more. I did get my dollar back and then some so as a collector I did well, I think.

 

could you elaborate on the python, im assuming its the large revolver.

what caliber and it is available to the civilian public?

 

Yes, I think they still make a Python but only special order.The older ones are sought after by collectors. It was Colt's answer, or slap in the face to S&W's model 19. .357 Magnum, a most beautiful trigger. Unless you have handled AND fired an original Python, blue or nickel, you have missed out. This was my second one. I sold this beauty for ~$1400.
The downside to the fine workmanship of the Colt is that they do need to be maintained and are infamous for needing adjustments but point and shoot and it hits where you want it to.

 

Gun ****

Starting over....

The 3 Smith's (I just like S&W) the Remmington and the Obendorf





I still love my M1908 Mauser, it was the only long gun I could not sell. Look at that wood, almost makes me ....well, nevermind

 

Nice collection, congrats on the new additions

 

Mark, after talking to Rick today I think youyr going to need a harness and cage to run your truck on the street

 

Damn Bill,
I was about to tell you I was coming up tomorrow night and am dropping my truck off at Synergy tomorrow but now I'm not so sure I should tell you!!
Great looking collection...and some of those pics were sweet, did you take those or were they promotional pics by the guns companies?
Poker run?? Need a cash cow?? Well I can't guarantee I'll be a cash cow but I'll split my winnings with you! I'm a bit of a poker *****!

 

All the pics were taken by me, thank you.
I thought you were coming up in Oct?

 

Change of plan, I might be shipping out on Monday to china for a month. Talked to Rick to see if he was interested in wrenching on my truck while I was gone for the next 5 weeks and he said bring her on up. Hopefully he can take care of the Big Bugs that are in the truck and when I come back up for the gtg I can win a Synergy girl. Those are the prizes right?
