Let's talk guns

[RonRC]

I am afraid that the muzzle loader bug bit me hard late in life. I must have been 64 or 65 when I really started. Now, plains, Hawken, flintlocks rifles and Kentucky pistols can be seen on every available space in my home office/man's cave. Many newfangled, modern cartridge guns have left my house, being sold or traded to buy front stuffers. My primary physician says that there is no remedy or vaccine for this disease.



Since the long rifles don't fit in my safe, I put in a steel bar door at the top of the stairs at the entry to my downstairs office to help secure the firearm collection. I put in a steel frame attached to studs with 3 1/2 inch lag bolts. The door itself has 2 locks and an alarm.


A professional could get through, I am sure, but it would take time, something a thieving Goblin doesn't want to deal with.

Those are unique and really cool!

Nobody said anything about the ray gun sitting on the shelf to the right.
Also, the light colored flintlock the second one down from the top in the first photo and the 4th down from the top in the second photo is the same flintlock.

Okay, not a rifle but still a good, fun gun I enjoyed for a few years.  I think our "All Powerful Potentate", who uses a weasel as his display name, still has this little guy in his underground arsenal right next to his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.

How long are the barrels on that scattergun, Mr. Hanshi?
Ron

[Hanshi]

It's a Pedersoli "coach gun" and the barrels, IIRC, are 20" or 22".  I hated to let it go, by the way.

[Hanshi]

The only reason I let it go was to have a flint smoothbore built; it's the one under my signature and it's one good shooter.

I have been enjoying all of the eye candy in this thread!      

      One of my favorite rifle's is this 50 caliber oct to round barrel gun that I built several years ago. At first I planned to make a Germanic type hunting rifle but as the build progressed I did a bit of modifying to at least be a bit more "Americanized".   I also needed a good place to hang this Chambers large Siler lock.  All of the brass mounts came from Track of the Wolf and the barrel was made by Mark DeHass out of Missouri.  Triggers are Davis Germanic type.  I kept the sling swivel set up on the forestock and a button attachment in the lower butt and never regretted the convenience of the sling for hands free stompin' through the thick woods.
