Her name is Betsy - Colt Combat Commander (Series 70) complements of Marc and Zero Hour Arms. It's my first 1911. The UGLY grips need to go, and it needs some gunsmithing, but she's my new baby!

On a side note, I believe it actually came from the same estate as edin508's beautiful shotguns.

 

[BillO]

Okay, Who's going to be the first to post a pic of a Mass Legal M&P?

 

[Jose]

Jose,

Keep an eye out for a model 15 or 19. Those are as good as it gets in a K frame.

TBP

The 15 and 19 have target sights, right? Wouldn't fixed sights be a bit more sturdy?

 

[JonJ]

That is awsome. How does it shoot?

Sad to say that I don't know yet but Milsurps4Me and a few other have and love them.

When you do shoot it make sure you have a lot of ammo because you'll blast through it quick.

Boy howdy, damn ugly grips.

 

[Twigg]

The UGLY grips need to go...

Never seen Camo grips before. Camo stocks on long arms can look nice but I'll agree they are u-g-l-y.

'Course half the fun of a new gun is tweakin !

I just picked this up today. I can't wait to get to the range to try it out.

LNIB Sig Sauer P239 SAS .40 S&W

 

[Jose]

TW, nice looking piece. Looks like it will carry very well, with all the soft edges.

All, look what followed me home:

A Model 65-8 in 357 Mag.

Very gently used, traded even for a shotgun that I hardly used anymore.

Nice! Better than an unused shotgun any day!

Finnish 1896 Tula that I picked up yesterday:

 

[The Goose]

Nice photo. The wood looks very good on it. How is the bore? I look forward to a range report.

Thanks Goose. The bore looks good, but it is counterbored. The trigger on this one is really nice. I beleive it is a Finn replacement trigger. This will definitely be going on my next trip to the range.

Did that come from Strickland's?

 

[Soxfan9]

Yep, I saw it a while ago, and after not buying it twice I grabbed it.

I know exactly what you mean. It whispered to me a few times when I was in there but I had to ignore it. It was tough but there were others speaking louder at the time.

 

[OAR348]

1946 Izzy M44, one of the lower production years (iirc ~185000 for 1946 versus like 3+ million for 1945 + 1944 alone) Hope to have one fom every year by the end of the summer(Already have a 1944).

Smart collecting sticking to one rifle type and acquiring diferent years. There are a broad range of Mosins to get them all between the diferent countries that produced them, arsenals, dates, types, etc.

Nice M44, that stock looks cool.

New .22 Lever Gun

I picked up a beautiful lever action .22 rifle last Friday:

It's an early 70's Winchester Model 9422. I paid $236 OTD and got a really good deal.

My boy and I took it to the range today. You can read a range report here.

 

[Jay G]

My February acquisition, courtesy of The Goose:

This makes my {thinking} fifth six-shot .38 special revolver. I *think* I have a slight preference...

 

[OAR348]

Nice M44, that stock looks cool.

Thanks, it doesn't appear to ever have been rearsenaled, no such markings on the stock, and the finish is unlike any I've seen. Only marking that I can't figure out is there is a diamond, with what appears to be either "cc" in it. Which appears on the stock as well as the receiver.

EC that looks like a sweet plinker, always wanted a lever gun sadly it keeps geting pushed down my wish list for more modern looking shinier pieces. Anyway nice pick-up and I also enjoyed the range report, good luck with it.

I love it--- beautiful.
I also hope to add a lever action to my collection.

 

[The Goose]

The wood on that 9422 is gorgeous!!

 

[Wakeman]

91/30 PU Sniper Repro.

I just made the February cut on this one:

91/30 PU Sniper Repro

This one is a 1942 Izzy with all matching stamped #'s. Bore looks pristine. Can't wait to sight it in!

 

[Soxfan9]

Nice sniper Wakeman, they are a blast to shoot. Bring extra ammo, you will use it!

 

[Joe R.]

And a screwdriver ( tool, not the drink! ) and some patience. It is a very adjustable mount and getting it to go just right will take some time.

Joe R. ( owns one also and still getting it set - make sure the action screws are tight.! Gun seems to like the Hung. heavy ball.)
