Old Iron That May Have Seen Action

[echo1]

Hi NWF Crew,

I thought I'd share this with you guys. It's an old picture of one of my racks set up forinsurance documentation Like most of us here, I like shooting the old iron but it's gotten expensive as of late, and I really haven't been shooting much in quite a while. But I haven't stopped "aquiring". These are some of my mil-surp bolt guns, a few are unmolested (never arsenal refurbed or upgraded), as issued, parts assembled (mis-matched #s), or cloned (Santa FE). I like a good wall hanger and am not oposed to displaying them. Enjoy, PAX

We need to see notches on the stocks too...
...and that's blasphemous to have a Ruger logo in the background of those old workhorses..

I like the WW1 era pistols myself. Fascinating mechanisms. But I love the historical weaponry.

At least it isn't Glock or Bryco.

Thanks guys. I've got a number of pre-WWi guns too. The oldest is a 1865 (?) Styer Constabulary Carbine. I've also got Ruger pistols, bolts,and 10/22s. PAX

I've often wonder what stories these guns could tell....but then I'd be up all night listening to a pack of tall tales...

This one was used to shoot at Americans - Militia usage during the last Fenian Incursion into Canada.

...and this one was used to shoot at Brits, Canadians and Australians - Second Boer War capture May 10th 1901 -

Not a firearm , nor is it very "old"...but my Blackjack Model 5 knife.
I carried this knife on four combat tours...it has seen usage with both mundane chores and other not so mundane chores.
