Made a new knife sheath and a new holster for my Colt Clone. They aren't perfect but they serve the purpose. Displayed with my Pedersoli Model 1874 Sharps Carbine, 45-70.

No Lever guns? That is tough. What are you able to own?
Portugal have a (very) restrict gun law.
I can own fire arms but I have to:
A) for sports -> I could "enlist" for sports but It's a lot of bureaucracy and I could only own a levergun 4 or 5 years after I started. Can only shoot shotguns during that time.
B) Hunting. -> I don't like hunting. I understand it but I don't like.

I have a shotgun, it's an italian Zoli 12", but I can't shoot it. I only own it because I enherited it from my father.

What I can own (and I own one) that is the closest thing to a levergun, is a Walther Umarex lever gun, a CO2 pellet gun. Fun to shoot but it's not the same thing.

I think I could own a real 1873 (not a repo, the real deal) without the bureaucracy, but I believe those are hard to appear in Portugal :)

That shotgun is a beauty! That Umarex is a nice looking little rifle. I like it. I feel for you not being able to do as you wish. Currently we are in another battle over firearms rights here in the States. Seems like it is a constant fight to preserve our rights.

I like it. My father shoot it a lot. He used to say it suffered in is hand and was amazed it didn't fall apart during the abuse years.

It doesn't have the kick to rip your shoulder nor the smell... but still fun to shoot :) The essence is there.

Yes I know. I've been reading the news.

Coyote medicine. An early ‘fifties, Iver Johnson Sealed Eight that I inherited from my father. Mom gave it to him as a Christmas gift a few years before I was born. I carry it on my evening walks around the farm, tucked into this reproduction M-3.

Its a fairly accurate little pistol, but I’ve never shot a coyote with it...probably because they’re smart enough to always be where I’m not.

It's an AR-15 made by PSA in Columbia, South Carolina. It has a 100 round dual drum magazine and a green laser site, flashlight, adjustable stock and the bipod. It also came with a 30 round magazine and a speed loader for the drum.
After you give a spin around the block I would be curious to know how the 100 round mag works. I have never used one, but have heard they sometimes are unreliable. I'm not being critical just curious. Sweet gun!

Very nice. Nice holster too. Coyotes are crafty aren't they.
