Picked this up today. A Burnside 3rd Model carbine .54. There were only 1500 of this particular model made. It took a very unique cone shaped cartridge. I have brass and bullets on order. The bore is very good and I will have this old war horse booming again.
An example of the cartridge.

That's a really cool find! I wonder how the reloading dies are set up to accomodate for the code shaped brass. Awesome!

My favorite 9mm gun I own. I have an Apex duty/carry kit installed and it shoots some mighty fine groups.
No pics yet, but picked up Mossberg 930 JM Pro on Friday, and a HK VP9 on Saturday.

VERY nice. Haven't gotten into carbines, but have 6 original long arms from 1812-1862.

Picked up these two items to add to the collection.

That shotgun makes me think its out of starship troopers...."lets go kill some bugs" i imagine rock yelling...
Early April gift to myself.
French MAS-36, according to the dealer was recently taken out of its original mummy-wrap, which seems to be accurate, thing is absolutely pristine, not a single scuff, ding, dent or any evidence of wear and the bore looks brand new.

I bought one of these today, completely on a whim, it intrigued me and I can't decide if it looks good or is butt ugly. Hopefully will get to see how good it shoots this weekend. It kind of looks like the offspring of a Ruger and Browning

Beautiful. Probably was never fired, but I think i can see a mark where they tied a white flag to the muzzle.

How do you like that TLR-6?
And the Czechlist grows longer...
The two smaller ones are the new ones, a CZ50 and a CZ82. Haven't had a chance to shoot either of them yet, have to find some .32 acp for the 50 first
