Anyone got pictures of interesting firearms?

[Biff Quizler]

Here's a few from LE museum in AK in case anyone stumbles up to Anchorage....small but cool .... Eye candy is ATF approved as they are in captivity

A couple unique ones and but included the case to show how AK was won.... some of AK LE arsenal over the years. Can't believe there's a .40 in front of the case

(Don't know if cool gun pix thread is a dupe...quick search yielded none so...)

 

[Biff Quizler]

Not a gun but this is simply brilliant......

Probably where they got the wonderful idea for car tires.........

Man - I would just flip if someone stuck that boot on me. Can't even bear to wear a wristwatch.

Very cool! And a great thread topic.

What they have labelled as an 1858 Remington looks a lot more like an 1860 Colt:

My bugout bag is coming together nicely.

These aren’t really unusual, but they are very cool. Actual weapons still in new condition from The Revolution. On display in Fredericksburg, VA at the old colony.

And this was a revolutionary war period concealed double shoulder holster. How sweet is that.

Man, anything from the Revolution is almost sacred.

I have a nice Pomeroy percussion rifle that probably saw use in the War of Northern Aggression

I bet Ethan Allen didn’t even have to worry about SBR’ing ($$) anything to the king.

I got to go to the French Army museum in 2017. They had a cool collection, a lot of WWI and WWII stuff.

Don't have the picture(s) for upload, as I tool them on film in 1974, but I took 3 consecutive pix of a punt gun in the Tower of London.

This was with a 126mm instamatic camera, back in the day. I connected them for a panoramic image.

1947 Bren Gun kit I brought back to life as a semi-auto.

I wish @Boris would come back. Can you imagine his interesting firearms?

 

[Lefty38-55]

The ‘pearl’ of my antiques …

Loaded with Mother of Pearl inlays, an 1800s Afghan rifle, likely used to fire down on the Brits as they marched in formation, with their Brown Bess muskets, through the valleys of Afghanistan hundreds of years ago. Oh yeah, they were slaughtered!

 

[Blackmore]

I still wish I'd bought one of these when they first came in the country. They were maybe $600 and Century and Sarco had them. Now they're 5x that if you can find someone willing to sell.

 

[PATRON]

MG34

 

[Hoover]

I have one of these, made in Worcester circa 1865. Swings sideways to load. Neat to see the manufacturing ability 150 years ago
