I've been waiting for about 4 months IIRC.

Funny you posted this. I just got a call from them.

Got a couple of Colts. Both 1860 Army.

First, a well worn 1861 manufacture, all matching with minor inspector stamps and faint cartouche on the grip. It needs a few screws and main spring to be whole.

Next, a 2nd gen with case, flask, mold and balls. Need to get the wrench for it.

Those colts are some really nice historic guns. Very cool Congratulations on those acquisitions.

Well, it was my boyfriends and I claimed it. Don't know a lot about it other than its built on an Essex frame, it shoots good though.

Picked up an S&W 442. Here's a pic of it with it's brothers... I was trying to get them acquainted so there's no jealousy.

How do u like the grips . Are they grippy enough?

 

[ski patrol]

They work well
I was a little worried when I got them
But they look and function great!

 

[DJF3864]

Picked up a P238 at Four Seasons on Saturday, with the fiber optic front /rear night sight and hogue grips.

My first all matching rifle; a diamond in the rough that needs a little TLC, but a rare one. The unit mark is of the Bavarian 2nd Chevauleger Squadron, 2nd Troop, 54th Rifle. The Chevauleger units were only used by Bavaria. Unit marked on both sides of the muzzle.

100% matching 1893 Erfurt M1888 Commission Karabiner. It has period updates with the 'neus material', reamed throat, reinforced chamber, and a heavy S barrel so I can still shoot modern 8mm loads with an original Gew88 style clip. 17" barrel and 8mm should sound like a M44 and 7.62x54r!

Thanks for looking,

T

Very nice rifle sir! You'll give her the tlc she needs!

Mine is from the 3rd Cheveaulegers, 3rd Squadron, weapon no. 104 "B.3.Ch.3.104"

Whered you get the grips?

 

[not new guy]

Tanfoglio FAB 92 - essentially a compact 9mm CZ clone.

 

[Win]

majspud - Awesome historical acquisition

wolo - great gun. I owned a P239 in 9 for a couple of years. Shot it quite a bit and never had any type of failure with it. The only reason I don't still own that gun is because I traded it in for P239 in 357sig.

 

[Glockguy19]

Great looking rifle Zappa!

The semi-auto is the new acquisition.
Got it today at Collectors in Stoneham.
It's a Winchester Model 290 Deluxe which went out of production in the 80's.
This one has the fancy wood with the rare oak leaf and basket weave checkering.
The vast majority of the ones I've seen have either plain uncheckered wood or traditional cross hatch type checkering.
The other is a model 250 which I've owned for decades, also with the rare checkering.
The 290 is basically the semi-auto brother to the lever action 250.
Now I have a pair with matching wood!

CZ 452 Special Military Trainer in .22lr

 

[Tiktock]

Here is something i've wanted for a long time!

Pedersoli "Howdah" percussion pistol. Its side by side 20Ga smoothbore. Shoots a .610 round ball or I can do buckshot, etc. Its a percussion black powder, double triggers and hammers. Its a gorgeous gun and it is a BLAST to shoot. Amazing power, smoke and crowd appeal!

 

[beaker]

Cool. Looks ready to repel borders!
