I wouldn't want a machine gun or submachine gun. My wave are lever action rifles.
OK. for once I thought you had a gun shop or a pawn shop.
Gorgeous, Mike. I love the Colts.An older lady I have known for many years had this wrapped up in an old towel. It belonged to her father and was still loaded. It is a Colt 38 Super manufactured in the 1940's right after WWII. This is an old, low resolution photo and does not do it justice. The pistol has that beautiful old Colt blueing and some honest holster wear.
Here's a project I was working on for a while. It's a floor lamp made from a Nepalese M1878 Francotte Pattern Martini.
I'm generally not in favor of drilling holes in a perfectly good rifle. But fortunately, I started with a perfectly bad rifle.
It was/is a Nepalese Francotte parts rifle I bought at IMA in Easton during a "cabin fever" visit in January or February of 2013. In addition to having had several usable parts already stripped off the rifle before I bought it (such as the trigger, trigger screw, forward receiver screw, buttplate and upper sling swivel), the action was heavily rusted, especially internally. Several months of soaking it in various penetrating oils did nothing to loosen up the immovable ferrous lump it had become, but it did allow me to effectively clean the rust off the outside. The lever would not budge, and it looks like someone had taken a hammer to the breech block to try to get it to move. Chunks were missing from the buttstock and the cleaning rod had taken on a tortured appearance, not even coming close to being remotely straight. Once I got the fore stock off, the underside of the barrel looked like a lunar landscape with heavy pitting... nay, craters! Some were far deeper than a typical dovetail slot. So this was a certain candidate to be fixed up enough cosmetically to become my new floor lamp.
It's not vintage, but a Remington 870 Supermag, I have a weakness for these brutally rugged and reliable shotguns.
