It's a Martin saber. Got it used for a great deal. I've never used a bow to hunt so I figured I'd start cheap before I drop a ton of cash. But with how hard ammo prices are raping my wallet I may do a lot more bow shooting

Well I see that it is a rifle chassis, I was asking for what. Like what is it going to be.
It looks quite...interesting.
Looks like an SKS stock to me. But external mag?
Its a Mcree folder in FDE for my Savage build. I have all the parts but need an action wrench to install my barrel. Should be arriving Thursday so will post full pics/specs on Thursday.
2 new automatics delivered to the house today, hopefully the third by the weekend
a custom built out the front from a guy in Oklahoma won on gunbroker.
very nicely made, strong spring, good blade, and very smooth action both in and out. but heavier than i would prefer so i may just sell this one.
and my latest Microtech, a ultratech. also an out the front won on gunbroker.
it's a Microtech, nothing else really needs to be said.

Just picked myself up a Lady Lilac Ruger SR22! Nothing like a purple and black pistol!
Hits almost $2700 enough to almost cause a divorce. More than I was expecting and I thought I would have a tax refund to help out which was actually a tax payment.
But have a action wrench in there and a barrel wrench and I need to get it headspaced which I might have to pay for today if Four Seasons has that ability today.
ouch
though i was looking at an armalite ar-30 in 308 last night though, and if i go ahead with it, once scoped, it will be right around there

Well, today is my birthday and a few folks have asked what have I gotten for myself. This is slightly premature as I will not have it in hand for a week or so, but this is my birthday present to myself. It is a commercial Martini sporting rifle sold by Isaac Hollis & Sons of Birmingham, England. I. Hollis & Sons was a major British distributer and manufacturer throughout the 19th century. Although they made a lot of firearms they were also known for buying from local gunsmiths and "prettying up" those guns with checkering, engraving etc. I don't know yet if they made this rifle or just sold it. They were known for their shotguns, but also did a big market in sporting rifles destined for the South African market (Martinis, Sniders, Cape Guns). Early on there was an importation requirement to South Africa that all rifles imported into the country had to have long range sights capable of volley fire, even sporting rifles. At the time civlians were called upon to stand with the military to defend against the native peoples (Zulus) and the strategy was often long range volley fire. This lead to a particular sight system that became known as African or Express sights. A series of fold up leafs coupled with a ladder sight. This style lingered on even after the requirement was lifted. My rifle was probably made in the late 1880's or early 1890's, I will find out eventually. The currrent owner purchased it in South Africa. It is chambered for the .577/450 round and has Henry rifling. The bore is excellent. The caps on the pistol grip and forend are made of horn. A few nicks in the stock, but overall quite good condition. The upper lever on the receiver is a safety which works, but I understand is not to be trusted. Below are a few photos and a copy of a page from an 1893 I. Hollis catalog that I found on line.
Luckily I already shoot .577/450 so getting this old dog barking again will not be hard.
