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.

S&W Gunsite model off to the range today.

RJR, I like that! Please tell me it has a regular recoil plug and spring, not a full length guide rod!

Not a gun, but gun oil, that was given to me.
I thought other gun owners may enjoy it.

You're correct;Gunsite mantra says everything you need,nothing that you don't.

Antique or modern made, Caliber ?? It looks like a southern mountain rifle in style, rather simple. I have a similar flintlock in 36 cal, strictly a squirrel or rabbit gun. All the fittings on mine are iron vs your brass. Flinters are fun, really teach you the art of the follow through.

Renault...That is beautiful!!

Pure, pure elegance! A lovely rifle Renault!

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.

Mine is a Carl Gustav marked 1898, still has it's crest, and thankfully a really nice bore. Someone also did a nice job on a new bolt handle. I will get some pics later today.

I'm not sure whether to try to fill and smooth the wood and then just paint it, or order a replacement sporter stock for it. I am going to bead blast and then Moly the barreled action, so it will be a useful rifle once again.
