Not a gun but thought this was cool. I guess Sam himself was handing these out in London back in 1851 at the Crystal Palace - what would be the first world's fair. The Colt booth was apparently the star of the show.

That's really fascinating! Schwag from 1851, the Crystal Palace, Sam Colt, it's like a movie!
 
pix817184359.jpgFinally found a Marlin Camp .45 to go with my Marlin Camp 9. Won it on Gunbroker, should be here in a day or 2. I have a cowbell metal target that's just waiting for this to ring it! These truck guns are a lot of fun for just plain old Saturday afternoon plinking. ********* Just a quick update the .45 arrived and I picked it up and did the transfer at 4 Seasons on Thursday. I hope to get to the range today or Sunday and give it a try out!

I picked up this 03 tacoma today for a project/dog hauler, i was originally looking for an FJ or a newer tacoma but this one was tastefully modded and meticulously cared for by its previous owner. its pretty much setup exactly how i want it, but im going to fab a mount for my tepui sky 3 roof top tent over the bed. I drove it up Mount Ord north of phoenix today, tons of fun, I cant wait to spend more time in this buggy.

Picked up a used (basically new, not many rounds fired by my eye) M&P15-22 for my wife for her first Mother's Day. We came across this one a few weeks ago and decided go back this past weekend to take it home with us. She's wanted one for a while so what better present to get her for Mother's Day than a .22 rifle?

For myself, I added a No. 4 Mk. 1 to go with my SMLE. I've wanted an example for a while however it hasn't been something I've been actively seeking out. 1944 Maltby that went through the FTR process in 1948 at Fazakerley. She's in really nice shape with a mint bore....might not be the most collectible Lee Enfield out there but she should be a good shooter.

Technically not a new acquisition, but I just got it back from being hard chromed which gave it a new lease on life so I'm counting it.

Before:

After:
634949d1558543360-ds-sideplate-help-0-3-.jpg


And yes, I put an orange plastic insert in the front sight of my Colt, S&W-style. What are you going to do about it? [laugh] If Colt could put them on Pythons I figured what the hell.

Nice! Love me some hard chrome. My HC'd 1911 has been holding up well to holster wear.
 
Picked this guy up today. I’ve been reading good reviews about these and decided to try it out. Hopefully I can do some plinking with it at some point this weekend or next.

Broke my shoulder in with a this thing yesterday
(my first shottie). That, and sighted in a new PrimaryArms 1-6X on another black scary gun. Happy birthday to me?
Need to work on my shotgun form as I’m a bit black and blue. Well worth it though. God what a thump!

TANDEMKROSS
I looked at a Holosun dot over the weekend and am seriously thinking of getting that. I need some range time with the 22/45 first though.
Already looking at Tandemkross for items though. Especially to make the trigger nicer.

I got my hands on a Vortex Venom for $180 via GovX. As soon as the new mount comes in, I'll trade it out with the OuterImpact mount I put on. I haven't really felt the need to change out the trigger yet. I may feel differently after another 500 rounds.....
