Show us your Guns!

[DeaconKC]

Oh ho! Commander with stag grips and rich leather. Hard to improve on it!

I didn't think anything unusual would happen today. I went to the coffee shop this morning, just like normal. But when I walked in, I saw an old flame there. And as soon as I laid my eyes on her, something deep inside told me things would never be the same. She's classic beauty with a wasp-thin waist and gently rounded shoulders. She's light as a feather and fits into my arms like she was always meant to be there. And she used to break my heart every time I saw her...because she used to belong to my best friend.

We had coffee together and laughed and chatted about old times. There were clearly still feelings between us. Then, without even asking ourselves if it would be a good idea, she followed me over to my office. As I write this, she's perched on my desk beside me...pretty as a picture. In fact, I've been admiring her beauty all morning. So I've made a decision. I can't live without her. I don't care about the consequences and I don't care who knows. At five o'clock this afternoon, she's coming home to live with me. Forever.

One of my best friends found this old A.H. Fox Sterlingworth almost two years ago and bought it for a song. I was green with envy when he showed it to me. I've always wanted a real Fox since I was a kid reading De Shootinest Gent'man and Nash Buckingham's other stories. Over the years I've owned a couple of Savage Fox double guns, but never a pure-bred Fox like Buckingham's Bo-Whoop.

Well, that changed this morning. Today my friend offered this old girl to me. Seems that he recently found another one to replace her...one with fewer blemishes on her skin and less wear around her cheeks. Well he can have his new high-maintenance strumpet. Heck yes, I want the A.H. Fox.

I bought her...no questions asked...right on the spot.

Very nice....not bad for a mid life crisis

Here's a new belt/holster/mag.carrier combo for my current fave...

from UBG holsters, great price & quality.

Love the grips too!

 

[Renault]

Well done Atticus!!!! Outstanding double!

Mike, those grips are skookum!!! What a rig!

Keep em coming!

 

[MikePotts]

Renault's great Uncle with his record pterodactyl.

Unfortunately it turned out to be the last one in existence - but it WAS a record!

That's him second from the left , front row, with the Win '94?

 

[Atticus Finch]

While I'm posting about early 20th century long guns, here's two I inherited from my father. The top one is a rolling block Remington model 4 with an octagon barrel. The other is a Remington model 6. Both were known as "boy's rifles" which makes sense...Dad had both of them when he was a boy.

I remember grandmas sayin' they tasted just like archaeopteryx!

 

[MikePotts]

Yup,
I still have the boots!

 

[gtdean48]

My new holster/mag holder/belt rig for 1911...

With buckle set...

 

[MikePotts]

Excellent GTD! - when's the BBQ?

 

[DeaconKC]

GTD, that is a fine rig! Who was the maker?

 

[gtdean48]

GTD, that is a fine rig! Who was the maker?

Thanks guys. Maker is Larry Sullivan, Picketwire1881 on Etsy = https://www.etsy.com/listing/93889542/made-to-order-custom-1911-pouch-type?ref=shop_home_active_5
Belt was mine already but Larry did the holster & mag holder to my asking.

 

[Landman]

Nice looking rig Tom!

So is yours Mike! Did you get the rear sight changed on your Commander or is that another Commander?

I found a 'high' GI style rear and beat it in there, seems to match the front pretty well !

 

[DeaconKC]

Mike, that new sight looks "right" I didn't even catch it until Landman pointed it out!

 

[MikePotts]

Yeah, thanks, I'm much happier with it now.

I wish I'd aligned those grip screws, for the photo at least, ......(it's a shotgunner thing)

 

[Landman]

The new sight and Stag grips looks great. I noticed you put a flat mainspring housing in it too. The whole package is very classy!

 

[Picard1138]

Great find! I found my Sterlingworth sitting in the corner of a modern gun shop about 30 minutes from my home, unwanted by those that come to buy Glocks and AR-15s. She's now back in her home city of Philadelphia, and happily shooting clay pigeons on occasion.

Picked up another Pre Model 10 snubby. Everything, but the T-grip is original to the revolver. Judging from the serial number it is from late 1946 to early 1947.
