    Well that's because when you wear camo, no one can see you so you feel safe!:p

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    Yano, I really like that. After I've lived in Oregon long enough to acquire a CCW (just 'cause) I'm going to go looking for a saddle maker who can make me one, devoted wheelgun fella that I am.

    Finch Hatton was Isaak Dineson's lover for a long time so that rifle has literary and romantic/erotic connections as well as historic. I'll bet the current owner takes out and fondles it lovingly every now and again.

    Actually the .450 needs restocking. All I did was file and sand down the hogback stock for the conversion and though it's marvelously functional, the old girl is a bit on the homely side. It's one of three 'African' rifles I own and since I haven't been to Africa in some years :( I really...

    I used a Brno ZKK square bridge magnum action in (and this is silly!) .458 Win to build the first .450 Rigby Rimless on the west coast. You want something for dinosaur and small armored cars? Dat's der bunny! Though I must admit, I consider the .505 Gibbs to be the king of Class III dangerous...

    I once had the opportunity to take a day's lesson at the H&H shooting grounds north of London. It left me with a profound respect for the coaches and an honest affection for the company, even if their product is far beyond my means.

    That is true. However, from early adolescence my real love has been and continues to be shotguns and clay bird ranges Portland has. Not to mention that venerable pistol club in Milwaukie!

    Getting hold of a solid M12 and upgrading it to the max is one of my fantasies. Burl walnut, gold wire inlay . . . the works.

    I didn't have the money at the time but if I had been able to get a Norinco M14 (M1A) clone I'd possibly be a big bore competitor today. Those were some serious pieces of machinery.

    Oregon is a 'shall issue' state. I can't personally imagine having any need to carry in this upscale neighborhood but I will probably get a CCW 'just 'cause'. First, though, I have to get a local drivers' license! Then we'll talk about other things.
