Show us your Guns!

[1961MJS]

Hi

There at least used to be a whole thread on things everyone had shot with the recoil plug on a 1911. PERSONALLY, I had one go up, and then not come down. I carry extras now. They make a plug that screws on the end of the recoil spring now, I have them on all of my 1911's except the newest. I need to order a few more. One guy mentioned that his dog wouldn't stay in the room when he was cleaning guns.

Sounds like one smart dog!

If you have worked on guns long enough to have encountered the anti-gravity parts that go up and never come down, you have also probably had experience with the "China-syndrome" parts that you drop and which go right through the floor and the earth and wind up in China. (They must, since they are NOWHERE to be found where I dropped them.)
I have always wondered how the people over there deal with the little metal bits that come flying up out of the ground.

There's a corner of the shop here that has to be ankle deep in those little plungers that hold the adjustment ring in place on the barrel of a Browning 22 auto rifle.

Snagged another old Winchester today! Model 1894.



Mfg in 1909. Traded an old trapdoor Springfield for it. 1/2round 1/2 octogon, 22" barrel. 30 WCF. Bore is nice and crisp. Mechanically sound. Not too wild about the wood refinish. But I wanted a good user I wasn't afraid to get down and dirty with if need arises!

Gremlins, are known to still parts also. I have dropped many parts, watched exactly where they have landed, then when I go to retreive them, they are gone!

Nice 94! Hard to beat the feel of the old actions. I would not be surprised if their is some nice figuring under that finish.

Nice one!

I love those. Great firearm. Nice score!

I wish I could have one. My country gun laws are very restrictive. I have to give a explanation why I need it and can only buy ammunition with the approval of public safety police.
That is why I have a lever action co2 gun.

Sadly, I think we are headed that way. Give it another 25 years or so. :laser: Anti-firearm

Harve, that's why we vote the right people in and present our case in an educated way to prevent that from happening.

Beautiful piece. I've been trying to find a nice one of these in .44-40 or .45 LC for a long time. I have a Winchester '97 in .30-30, but there's nothing like a pistol round in one of these lever guns.

Max, wasn't the '97 a shotgun? I once almost bought one from a friend, but I didn't like the way it came to my shoulder. Odd, because I've loved every other Browning design I've ever shot.

AF,

I had a mental lapse on two counts. Yes, the '97 is the pump action, smokeless shotgun like you said. I have one that I have found to be pretty comfortable to shoot, however the barrel was cut down by a police department and is no longer a field gun unfortunately.

In any case I meant to say the 1894, in .30-30 which is the same as this pictured rifle, which he mentioned is chambered for .30 WCF. I was thinking about the Winchester 1892, which is chambered for pistol rounds. I would love to get my hands on one of those in 44-40, or a repro in .45 LC.

Right you are, sir!

Hope not.

Here they even restrict airsoft guns. Airsoft enthusiasts are trying to change it but it's very very difficult to change some people minds.

Unfortunately, that is true, my friend.

Yup! The 97 is the only gun that completely "guts" itself every time you work the action. Complete disassembly and reassembly is not for the faint of heart. I prefer my old model 12's. Whi h reminds me I think it was deacon that requested I post a pic of them (about 3 months ago). I'll try to fish em all out of the gun safe!

Was the original 1892, ever chambered in .45LC? I thought, 44-40 was the biggest cartridge.
