Nice Colt. I picked this up last night.

I've got a bug for antiques made locally.

Mike, Did that baby come with a razor? You can use that baby to shave with.

No razor. Hell, I'm afraid to even breath near it! White gloves when I do handle it.

That Colt just might be the finest looking revolver I've ever seen.

Very jealous.

Let's see it's 47 years old (looks good for her age, no?) if you'd like to shoot it you'd have to buy it from me.

Oh come on my grubby greasy cheeseburger hands won't scuff it up...lol
Seriously though I love the gun and don't blame you for keeping her a 40+ year old virgin.

My Walther wants a can, I told her she had to wait till I move to NH. In the mean time, I got her a threaded barrel to keep her happy. A really good deal just dropped on my lap...

Full size barrel, the original (shorter) for comparison

Earl's at Tewksbury imported these:

Mike, that Colt is beautiful.

I went a little old school too (but more utilitarian). S&W Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman.

Now, that is NICE!

 

[The Goose]

A bit of an unusual one for me. I picked this up at Blue Northern yesterday for short money. Bersa 383A .380 ACP. On the one hand it has little to recommend it. It is big and heavy for the caliber, not something I will ever carry and appears to be well used. However, it feels really good in the hand. Very nice balance and points naturally. It should be fun to shoot.

 

[ChargingCharlie]

Finally picked her up today!

 

[The Goose]

Finally picked her up today!

Sweet!

 

[raddo]

My first gallery post and first Beretta. Got delivered to the shop today, picked her up and cleaned of the old greened factory grease. Based on the import stamp it looks like shes a '92 production . Came in original box with two 15rnd mags.

[jkeeley1]

Nothing special. WASR 10/63. Picked her up last weekend. decent specimen; mags dont wiggle, front sight isn't canted, shoots well. Surplus sling is on it's way

 

[meth0d]

Got a few more pieces to my AR build puzzle, pics to follow.

White Oak Armament 18" SPR barrel
Rainier Arms low pro gas block
LMT Charging handle with tacticool latch
Young MFG Chrome BCG, bolt matched to barrel

I had ordered a rifle length gas tube too, but they forgot to pack it, I have such terrible luck ordering parts online... I spoke with a woman at Rainier Arms and she said she'd ship one out today.

** UPDATE ** They had sent one out to my street address via postal mail, so it wouldn't have gotten to me as I have a PO Box. I sent an email in and Paul quickly got back to me stating they'd send out another one to my PO box! Rainier Arms has been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for AR parts.
