We need some C&R porn

Thank you all for posting your pics! I love looking at old guns. Here are some of mine:

A Webley Mark IV in .38/200. No import marks. It's a fun one to shoot and reload for.


Some of the markings:


A 1944 Inglis No 2 Mk I. Originally made for the Chinese during WWII, was instead sent to Britain. It has a slot in the backstrap to accommodate a shoulder stock as per the Chinese specifications. I found the second magazine for it for sale online in New Zealand. Importing it to the US was an interesting process.



And my Lee Enfields. Left to right:

1916 No I Mk III* from Lithgow, OZ wearing a somewhat scarce Vickers bayonet made in 7/17
1929 No I Mk VI in all its butchered glory
1946 No 5 Mk 1 wearing a Poole bayo also from 1946
1953 No 4 Mk 2 from the Irish contract.



Thanks again for sharing your pics!

Man, I liked so many posts here. Some very cool and nice C&R's guys!! Here's a model 71 (long tang made in '37) that I really cherished. I ended up selling to a buddy that has better eyesight than I do. I didn't want to alter it, so now it's in a better place:



Here's an old A.H Fox sterlingworth that was made in 1910. My great grandfather was the original owner. He also shot left handed. One shotgun I'll never give up. Unless I end up having a left handed grandson one of these days....:

I MISSED ITS FIRST SALE BUT GOT THE SECOND TIME OFFERED. WHEN THROUGH TWO NWF MEMBER HANDS ....I HAVE SINCE CHAINED IT TO MYSELF. FIRST GUY REFINISHED STOCK...PRETTY....SECOND GUY RATTLE CANNED IT....CAN BE REMOVED.....
THIRD GUY SHOOTS AND LOVES IT.
BEEN SHOOTING DAG PLASTIC RDS TO MAKE THE ACTION LAST. STILL A BIT SCARRRED TO PUMP VERY MANY NATO DOWN ITS THROAT. DAMN THE 308 CETME CROWD

Is that a FR7 or FR8?
The FR8's on built on a Mauser 98 action ... I had one and shot many a .308WIN. and 7.62 Nato through it with nary a problem.

This is my Type A BGS FAL. Matching serial numbers and custom upper receiver serialized to the kit. The furniture is modern Bastogne Walnut. Have the originals in the garage. 1955 or 1956.

Last time we met he was prez of the Arisaka Collectors Association of America. Used to live off I84 just down the Gorge. His dad collects Lee-Enfields - got a couple of hundred last count.

Edit - Gunnar called me up late last week to advise me that his dad had passed away from a short illness with cancer. The world of gun collecting has lost a bright light.

Nice, really nice, collection of Arasakas! Especially the carbines!

Just what date cut-off are we using in here?

C&R is usually 50 years. Some of the first M16s are C&R now.

 

[Medic!]

Great.

This old broken down body achieves C&R status this year.

I became C&R last year. Not posting a selfie though.

I would post a picture.

But there is this whole ''Best looking man on NWFA'' thing.
And I don't want to burst any bubbles.

Pal John turned up this morning with this beautiful 16gauge SXS flintlock from the middle 1850s, by Thos. Gardner of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He didn't shoot it today, but will do so when he can find some .60cal ball....

It felt like a breath in the hands....
