Show your guns!

[Member 38805]

Not sure my guns are along the lines of what I see posted, but I'll give this a try anyway. I'm into 1800's single shot rifles, especially schuetzen rifles. But I like almost any single shot rifles from the pre WWI era back.

This one is an early first year 1875 Marlin Ballard #7 Long Range rifle in .44-100 Ballard caliber. The scope is a French made 60x long range rifle spotting scope. Both designed for Creedmoor style matches.





Another Marlin Ballard, and also a 1875 mfg. gun. It was reworked into a 3 barrel set by famous gunsmith and barrel maker HM Pope. The 3 barrels are .32-40, .28 Pope Special, and .22WCF. The tools in this set are Pope false muzzle starter, Pope lube pump, Pope re-decapping tool, Winchester scope, and Winchester loading tools for the .32-40 and .22 WCF. The takedown system was patented by HM Pope in 1882, and this is the only known 3 barrel set. This gun was owned by LG Pridy who was a member of the 1919 Denver Rifle Club team that set the World indoor record that year.









A Ballard Schuetzen custom rifle built by George C Schoyen Denver, Co. in the late 1800's. It is in caliber .32-40 Ballard. Equipped with a Fecker 12x target scope, and midrange sights. Bird's eye maple stocked. Pope style grip adapter to the Ballard lever.



Cased in an old Hereford hide case, with loading tools and accessories.

Sometimes a guy just has to show off his new toys...
Try not to get too jealous. Work hard... set goals... save your pennies, and one day you too can own a HiPoint 995.
But for now you can drool over mine

It was more a rhetorical question, I knew they were.

I'd LOVE to add an M-14 to the safe!!

Gotta say the JRA for 1500 is a worth it buy. Ran flawless out the *hardcase*. the finish is actually black instead of the greyish. The walnut is nice.
Just dont buy pro mags for it like i did

 

[Kruel J]

I tossed the few pro mags I had laying around for AR's in the trash. Absolute garbage products.

The mag catch on the m14 promags is like a quarter of a centimeter too long vertically. Wasnt able to get an RMA so im just going to dremel them, if they dont work after that hey! Steel targets
