This one has been bugging me for months. Been on the shelf of the LGS I part-time at, needing a good home. So I brought it home today. Ruger Old Model Vaquero in .45 Colt. Very crisp trigger, can't wait to get it to the range.

Very nice! I have a older Bisley Vaquero and a couple of Bisley Blackhawks in stainless, all in .45 LC. They are indestructible field guns, especially the Vaquero with its fixed sights.

Thanks fellas

The rifle is a .50 calibre English influenced, Virginia style rifle by GL Jones. Taken several deer and hogs. The pouch and southern banded horn were a little gift to myself made by Neal Brown, a maker from Mississippi.
I also have a pretty nice .62 calibre smooth rifle by Mr. Jones too! I’ll try to get a pic up.

Well, another mud puppy followed me home. A Swedish M38 Mauser with a horribly butchered stock. The receiver was drilled for a side mount scope that is long gone, but it does have a Redfield peep sight. I needed another project gun like a hole in the head....
Love those Swedes. My only M38 is a 1900 year model by Mauser Obendorf, with a 2 digit serial number. Research and info for the Swedish Mauser forum shows it was one of a special run of 5000 rifles that year. My stock has some light tiger stripe and shows lots of dings for 118 years of handling . It is obviously a cut down from a standard M96, but well done as one of the official arsenal conversions, the stock is still original to the gun, along with all other serial numbered parts.
