Pictures later in the week but late February early Mach has been productive WRT acquiring new guns. I was in Argentina in January so I had some time to make up!
I've acquired an FN 1900, Colt Officers Model Target Heavy Barrel (1936 vintage), Colt 1877 Lightning .38 LC (1895) Storekeeper (3" barrel, nickel), a US Customs marked Colt Police Positive Special .38 Special (1936), a S&W Pre-Model 17 .22 (1950), and am waiting for delivery of a Colt Tier III 100th Anniversary 1911-2011, and a Colt Series 70 Gold Cup with Seecamp conversion to Double/Single Action.
I'll post photos of all of them when I receive the two 1911s.

Sometimes you just gotta, even if there's no good reason.
Once CDNN dropped the price to a stupid $269, I just had to...
This is surprisingly well-built, with serious heft. And it's a serious shitload of fun. "Pew, pew, pew!"
I already submitted the Form 1 to SBR it, as God intended it to be.
I just picked up the pistol version myself, you aren't kidding about the heft, it weighs as much as the 9mm version from the 80's. For under $250 it was too good a deal to pass up.
Colt 1903 from 1923. Came with the original box and an added bonus: the original owner's CCW permit from 1934.
Beautiful!
A carry permit from LA, probably worth more than the pistol! ;-)
Drool!!! This is on my short list!

That's nice.....great to have the history. I tried like bell to by a neighbors collection.
Not much but everything was pre 1960 back to about 1918. Had everything ,receipts,boxes, everything mint.

Here's the special Colt I was waiting for...
Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match .45 acp modified to Seecamp's Double/Single Action by TSW of Paramus, NJ (a Seecamp authorized distributor). I took a close look at the gun; that thing that looks like a single action trigger - is exactly that! I had read that you could remove the DA trigger and it would still work; now I know why! Pretty ingenious!

Looked for a while and finally got it
Got myself a S&W 627 Pro Series Revolver and a used Mathews Switchback Bow this week.... pics as soon as I can get off the couch (I also got the flu)
Edit: looks like I've got the beginning of a "walking dead" starter kit. ( lol )

Got another March acquisition, one that surprised me. Didn't expect it for a while.
First, I got this:
Holy shit. 88 days.
And it was attached to this:
Which yielded this:
And we pull out a Silencerco Spectre II:
And then we put it where it belongs:
88 days for a Form 4 to a Trust is terrific. Not quite a 5 minute NICS, but much better than it had been running.
March is turning into a helluva great month.

Very nice! Now get Pearce +0 mag extensions and have an undercut and night sights added. (Lou at Business End Customs did mine)
May I ask what date they cashed your check? I have a couple suppressors waiting and I have been following NFA tracker pretty closely. It looks like they are trending under 90 days for a F4 approval, which is exciting. My checks were cashed 2/17 and 2/22 I think so I have 2-3 more months at least I think.
My new G34 , I took it out cleaned it ,removed the stock sights and installed Dawson Precision sights before I even shot it. Broke it in today and I like it.
