New acquisitions for March 2008

[SKS Ray]

Looks like I get to kick it off this month.

I picked this up from Zero Hour today. Had it sent in from an online dealer. Its a police trade in Ruger PC4 that came with mag pouch, 2 mags, and sling.

Now I just need to find a source for more mags.

 

[FITH]

nice

 

[BLAM]

Nice score! Like that rifle better than my Mini-14!

1916 Mark VI Webley all matching. 'Adjusted' for .45acp

 

[hminsky]

I really wish Ruger had made that line of carbines in .45 ACP...

 

[SKS Ray]

I've thought of getting one of these for a while and its perfect because my carry gun is in 40.
I'm thinking of getting a set of Ruger rings and putting a sleek red dot or compact scope on it.

Never go to a gun show with a pocket full of cash...you always spend it!!

Star BM 9mm, something I've wanted for a long time and just never found one in good enough shape to bother.

I do like the older 1911 style pistols. Now to find some nice wooden grips and a decent carry holster!

That Star is sweet!

I doubt you would have much trouble finding a holster for it.

Check out my new Cochise Defender holsters from K&D in the Equipment forum. The wait is long (~20 weeks) but worth it. If I were you I'd place an order with Kevin right now and buy a Don Hume or something like that to tidy you over in the meantime.

I agree, great looking....

Nice one, Dennis !
Was the original cal .455 Webley ?

Next Saturday I'll help to put a value on approx. 50 handguns of an oldtimer
now suffering Alzheimer.
I'll try my best for him to obtain fair prices for the pieces he squirreled away
in about 40 years.
For myself I'll try to get my hands on a Red 9 and possibly an Artillery P.08,
depending on "how much".

yup, it seems that a great many were converted to 45acp and moonclips so the more common ammo could be used.

I think many were actually changed in service since the 45acp was the 'standard' .45 during both Wars.

 

[JuergenG]

Not my 2nd Model Hand Ejector, it's still .455
Haven't shot it yet, but got some old Kynoch ammo to try
when I find time to.

That looks like a fun toy. Let us know how that thing shoots.

Latest and Greatest

My Latest and Greatest from North Shore Firearms. Having that shop near work is going to break me

I plan to "Larue it up" over the next couple weeks.

Thanks again Mike and Mike!!

Ruger Charger Pistol - picture incoming

Picked it up at State Line Firearms in Mason, NH. Had the barrel threaded for my Outback and it shoots like a dream.

 

[z0mbi]

Picked this up used on Feb 29th, but didn't take any pics until a few minutes ago. I don't know anything, really, about revolvers. I think this is a 'K' frame? Not really sure... if anybody knows anything more about this pistol please feel free to tell me about it.

 

[ranger4-7]

Looks like a Model 67. Manufactured from 1972 to the present

I love revolvers - I have the greatest time with mine, and hopefully you will, too. Thanks for posting the pics - enjoyed!

That's pretty good, I paid $350 for it.

 

[Pilgrim]

open up the cylinder and the model number is probably stamped on the frame under the crane...with the serial number.

Looks like I'll be adding to the Ruger love in this thread.

I picked up the Redhawk yesterday and the 10/22 today. The 44 Carbine is from last month.

Awesome! I'm glad there's another Webley fan around here. I recently picked up a Mark IV .380 and it's a fun gun to shoot, though it took me a while to find the correct .380/200 ammo for it. I've been on the look out for a nice Mark VI, but I'm holding out for one in the original .455. Not too many left.

I think many were actually changed in service since the 45acp was the 'standard' .45 during both Wars.

I'm pretty sure all the conversions were done after WWII, when the guns found their way over to the states. Remember, the Brits ordered a bunch of Colts in the same .455 cal during the war.
