Show us your Guns!

[DesertDan]

Kinda like potato chips aren't they?

 

[Renault]

Presactly!!!! Funny thing is I actually use the model 12's I have! Instead of staring in front of the gun safe before the next elk/deer hunt going,,,,,, what to use? What to use???
They are sweet shotguns. Wish a nice 20 would come thru.

 

[DeaconKC]

I share your weakness for the Model 12. What a beautifully designed and engineered shotgun.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice Shotty Renault.

1921 was a good year.....

That model 12 was born the same year my Mom was. Gotta love those m12s. A friend of mine has a few and like you he actually shoots. In fact this past opening day he was using one in 16 ga. to get his limit of dove. Nice guns....

 

[Landman]

Beautiful wood on that Model 12!

 

[Renault]

Thanks , gang!!!! I think this new one will accompany the boys and I on our next pheasant outing!

If I can get a moment, I will try to get my meagre pile of Model 12's out of the safe for a photo op. Gotta do a bunch of re-arranging to get to a couple. I know I've promised before.

 

[pompier]

Please do!

The more the merrier.

For years I coveted a M12 Heavy Duck with hopes of taking it after geese. Alas, my joints now require more cushioning than any pump gun delivers and a 3" mag hammering a limit of snows or speckle bellies on day one would leave me incapable of getting up on day two. But there never was built a more elegant slide action than the M12.

Just picked this up. A S&W 642 that had ONE round through it. It has the Performance Center Action Job and feels as good as some of my well worn K frames!

Speaking of 1921 long guns, how about the Fabulous Model 14? Remington, that is. I have a .30 Remington made in 1914. There's just something about cartridge guns from about 1870 to 1965. They just have... soul.

 

[DesertDan]

Nice 642 Deacon. A 442 has been my daily carry for years.

Very Nice Deacon!!!!

Deacon!

Well done! Very nice revolver!!

Those firearms you mention are just my style. As a rule of thumb I will not even look at a firearms (to purchase) unless it's at lease 40 years old, prefer 60 years. But I'm in a position where I can cherry pick. I am at a point where I have a difficulty finding time to shoot the ones I have.

Teaser!!!! . Model 54 Winchester. Circa 1935. 30/Govt. 1906

 

[pompier]

Wow!!!!!

Man, that model 54 is beautiful! That sir, is my kind of rifle! :eusa_clap

 

[DeaconKC]

Renault, gorgeous rifle. What kind of peep sight is that? A Christie?

 

[Renault]

Just an old Lyman #57 peep.

I had the opportunity to stick one on my oldest son's Whitworth 30/06 too. He found an old 57 SME on eBay.

 

[Renault]

Pompier. Haven't forgot the Model 12 pics. Just been busy. If you like the 54 I'll stick a photo of my Oberndorf Mauser sporter too! May be a week or so.

 

[Horace Debussy Jones]

Beautiful wood on that one Renault. Nothing like a nice wood stock on a fine old rifle. The new fangled polymer stuff just leaves me cold. I always opt for wood on a firearm if it's available.

 

[Renault]

Well there does exists Renault's theory of relative firearm tackiness.

Which states, "the tackiness of a firearm is directly proportional to the amount of polymers and non-ferrous metals used in the production of the finished product."

Doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the overall quality and performance of said firearm. Just the tackiness!

All in fun, friends! . All in fun!!!


And it is just a theory!
