We need some C&R porn

Someone should suggest to her that she keep the rifle on her shoulder , when working the bolt on a bolt action rifle...

neat video with lots of interesting guns and good trigger finger discipline.

That is Mae from the C&R Arsenal channel on U-Tube.

1936 Sauer made K98,vet bringback.
Matching numbers except the bolt,which has matching numbers to itself.
Pretty typical of bringbacks..

This thread's been a little quiet. Time to stir the pot
Winchester .45-70. Seems to have lost it's lever....

1883 Winchester-Hotchkiss

This one is not a C&R as it is a modern repo, but it is a single-action, so perhaps it fits. I took this pic this morning.

 

[CountryGent]

This one likely fits too. It is an Enfield. No. 2. At some point the barrel was shortened.

 

[CountryGent]

Sort of a funny side story on those two: I shot both today on the home range. The Cimarron, after one shot, became unusable. I blasted through an entire box of factory ammo with the Enfield with nary a hiccup. When I hiked back down to the house I relayed the results to the Mrs said something like "the brand new wheelgun doesn't work and is headed back for repair. The 80+ year old, beat up, revolver that survived the Second World War, had its barrel shortened at some point and the sight rewelded, however, worked fine. Go figure."

My mod. 12 riot was made in 1961( EDIT:the guy that sold it to me was wrong... it's actually a 1949) so it's well over 50...and historically significant because it was an LE/security gun(It just followed me home from the gunshow today)
The M97(still under construction) wasn't always a trench gun, but its as C&R as I got...
The 1917 Bayo is most certainly a C&R accessory... it even has a Maxim first pattern scabbard... too bad it's the wrong scabbard for an M97.

 

[CountryGent]

@Mygrainman ... Wow! Those are some real scattergun beauties. 'gratz!

An assortment of lanyard rings with some interesting lanyard ring mounts
I like lanyard rings even though I've never bothered to use a lanyard. But IF I needed one...
Old War Horses

Starting top left, left to right:
Austrian 1912 Steyr Hahn, 9mm Steyr
USGI Colt 1911A1, .45ACP
1917 Erfurt Luger, 9mm Parabellum (brought home by my Great Uncle after his all expense paid tour of France in 1917-18 where he got to operate ambulances during fireworks displays and got to smell the savory mustard gas. Some fun I'll bet )

Second row:
Hungarian Frommer Stop, .32 ACP
Spanish Astra 600 made for Germany during WW2, 9mm Para
German Walther P38, 9mm Para.
Third row: Japanese Type 94, 8mm Nambu
Russian 1895 Mosin-Nagant 7.62x38R
Swedish 1940 Lahti (Husqvarna), 9mm Para.

Fourth row:
M1934 Beretta, 9mm Corto (.380ACP)
Webley MK VI dated 1918. Originally in .455 Webley, sadly, this one had the cylinder back faced off to allow .45ACP in half moon clips. Need to get some .45 AutoRim cases so I can down load for it without mixing up my standard .45 ACP loads. Not that I shoot it much.

A lot of history there. Hopefully, if any of them ever were, they'll never again be fired in anger.

Nice collection @Ownerus.

I really like this one... it's got character.

Todays score, and one that makes me really smile, a lot! An All original Shooter grade MK-4 Frontier Carbine Colt Revolving rifle! .44 B.P. with the longer cylinder and faster twist, shorter barrel. Came with all accessories as delivered in the factory kit, including 5 molds covering all .44 bullets used during this rifles time, and 4 extra cylinders for an old school speed load! Cant wait to shoot it and see how the grand old lady dances! Should be a hoot! Think .44 Magnum in a lever rifle, that's pretty close to what these can do!

These were pretty revolutionary in there day, the first practical repeating rifle that was light and handy, and pretty easy to use and to load in the field or in combat! VERY robust design, and tunable. These were the first true assault rifle in every sense and that makes for a pretty cool legacy. Col. Colt really was ahead of his time, and the craftsmanship and skill really shows in these. sadly, history bypassed these when the more modern repeaters came along with there fancy self contained cartridges and lightning fast lever actions. power and accuracy hadn't improved any over the older Colt, but they were faster and easier to load and care for, and were pretty low effort arms to keep and maintain! The MK-4 were truly Col. Colts finest rifle, and had many innovations that were meant to keep the rifles relevant long after the replacements came along. as good as these were in the hands of the Army, they really came into their own with the hunters and settlers as THE rifle to have. Accuracy is surprisingly quite good, and performance was better then many of the newer rifles that replaced it!

I sooooo need one of those...or at least shoot yours Ura-Ki....

[MountainBear]

Come south @AndyinEverson. Feels like a range day is in order...

 

[Ura-Ki]

YUP!

 

[Gaucho Gringo]

Just don't hold your hand in front of the cylinder, a chain fire will mess up your day, Nice looking rifle and I hope you have a great deal of fun with it. And give us a range report.

 

[Ownerus]

Nice collection @Ownerus.

Thanks. Slow and steady. It's been a long term, many years project. I have a fairly low threshold of "like" as in "ooh! that's ugly! (and interesting) I'll buy it!" More targets of opportunity that way and occasionally I get to hit something before it's cool and becomes expensive.

My Son's load data rifle with a few new/old manufacture dress-ups.
