Now to the OP's question: Some things are best kept private. Not answering for the same reason I don't post responses to threads like: what do you look like, what do you drive, what pets do you have, post pictures of your _______ (fill in the blank). Does your house have an alarm system? LOL
What I look like: A real bad MF'r you wouldn't want to meet if you kicked at my dog.

What do you drive: A regular looking, not new and no stickers on it vehicle.

What pets do you have: At least one bad a$$ Pit Bull.

Do you have an alarm system: I'm a low voltage Electrician with access to wholesale parts and have installed thousands of them, so yea I have a system and cameras.

Oh, and almost all of my neighbors are conservative with guns and half of them stay home all the time.

I don't have any guns but I have a repeating crossbow that will skewer a bull so there are definitely better places to rob then mine.


But I actually agree with you Jim ;)
 
Well, after this weekend I will have just a few. I am passing them on early to my son. I just had a health scare that indicates I won't be here much longer. I almost died yesterday and it doesn't look good. But it's been going this way for years.

The medication that they were treating me with almost killed me. They also suspect that I have had a series of TIA's. CT shows some evidence. They let me come home and I have tests scheduled for Monday at the VA. Some of the other problems I am having are just too embarrassing to talk about.

I am only keeping the 4 Ruger P Series pistols that I recently bought from a fellow forum member. They are the only guns that brought me any joy in the longest time. I am not buying anymore other than the parts kit I already agreed to buy from the guy who sold me the pistols. My son will possibly need them at some point.

They didn't want me to go home, but I told them if I'm gonna die this weekend, I would rather it be at home in my own bed with my dog. The bubblegumed up part is that I had to figure out what was happening for my damn VA doctor. Yes I'm a medical person, but not an MD. I had just saw the doc at the VA the day before. I told him all the symptoms I was having, and he never made the connection.

I asked him for hydrocodone for the pain, and he dismissed me as drug seeking and said the VA wouldn't let him. I guess that my slurred speech made him think I was on drugs already. Even though my UA from 3 days earlier was clean. So Monday is more blood tests, another EKG (my QT is quite long) X rays and god knows what else.

So yeah, I am hoping to make it out to the range at least one more time, but it's doubtful.
DAMMM IT!!! I'm at a loss of words to console you. I'm just hoping that you, like I want to, go out with our boots on. Give it hell till you can't and bless you for having the courage to share this news with us. :s0005:Cheers brother.

No words brother, may Dad be merciful and let you make the transition in your time and on your terms. Prayers and blessings to you and your loved ones.

That is a Spanish Miquelet locked Escopeta....circa late 1830's - 1840's,
.65 caliber ...roughly 16 gauge.
The stock is of the Catalonia styling of Spain.
Below are some close up pictures of it.

Was that pattern (not the flower) on the barrel man made or some natural process in the metal over the years?
