M66 Pontiac Mauser
Well, it was a toss up.
A numbers matching Mauser 98K or give the antique car its due; and chose the antique. We took care of the rust and Bondo (quarters and fenders) with sheet metal and a great paint job (urethane and clear coat) in the original color, code "T", Martinique Bronze. $2300 well spent.
Next year I'll look for that special Mauser, unless I get lucky on our anniversary next month.

Nice lookin' majspud!! Thanks for the pics!!
Uberti 1860 Henry rifle in .45 Colt. Man, this is one fun shooter. I put a couple of hundred rounds through it and it fucntioned smoothly and without incident. It holds 13 rounds and while not a tack driver by any means I was able to hit static clay pigeons at 50 - 60 yards. Another childhood dream fulfilled. The photo is a stock photo.
Excellent! I was just looking at those online the other night.

It looks just as nice up close.
Maaco in Brockton.

I'd have never guessed Maaco! They have such a bad rep for being hacks.
The car does look great though.
If you do all the prep and bring it to them to be sprayed, the paint will look great, their fault lies incopetence when it comes to paint prep.
Should be known though that they are using cheap paints and clears. Anyone going to them should get a written warranty on the finish.

The DUF is my all time favorite AK. Great pick up.

Joe, is that the one I think it is?
As for me, I bought one of these from Eastern Security today. It's a Winchester Tradition 15. The price was a little more than a typical Sentry but the quality is a lot better.

LOL, I dunno...I got it off of Gunjoker...I didn't convert your old one if that's what you were wondering...can't even bring myself to shoot yours, nevermind mod it. Something about cosmoline still in the guts keeps me from pulling the trigger so to speak.
