We need some C&R porn

I lucked into that K31, bought it from an owner who originally got it from Big 5. Still has the CAI tag and original receipt for $179! (Definitely not what I ended up paying for it).

Some pictures of the George C. Schoyen Ballard #6 I was fortunate to buy at the CGCA show last weekend.









.32-40 heavy 32" barrel, with the Schoyen browned finish. Stocks and receiver are factory original, but the forearm was done by Henry Simmons, Schoyen's stock maker, to fit the Schoyen barrel and match the buttstock.
I'll have to build a palm rest to fit the dovetail base built into the barrel.

A crappy shot of my Arisakas, 2 T38s are Mummed, the bottom rifle is a Siamese T46 in original 8X50R. PAX

Post-war P38. It's a misconception that post-war models with aluminum alloy frames were all designated P1's, some were still in fact designated P38.

Ive owned 4 all marked P38. The 60's aluminum police service guns were marked P38. The Bundeswehr guns were marked P1.

I picked up 4 P38's, a couple of Lugers and 3 CZ 75's while I was in Germany in the Army. Managed to get them all back stateside . Don't ask how. Had form 6's for the P38's and the CZ's and they all brought good money later on. We won't discuss the method of importation of the Lugers.

Agree. People overreact a lot. Somewhere out in the garage, I have an armband just like flag, that I picked up as a kid in the late-60s in Italy, when you could still find that stuff just lyin' around. I thought it was pretty cool to get a hold of, so I did. And kept it. It's in an ammo box somewhere, full of other WWII memorabilia. Just can't find it anymore...

Hard to argue it's inherently any different from eastern bloc artifacts.

It should be seen...for what it was/represented, and never be forgotten.

Martini-Henry Mk.4

577-450 caliber... Shown next to 45-70 and 5.56. for comparison.

Been wanting one of these since I watched "Zulu" as a kid.


Ammo and components are a challenge... loaded rounds are rare and can cost $20/rnd

Argentine Ballester-Molina .45acp

Winchester model 74 semi-auto .22LR 1939 - 1955
I like the heavy stocks and longer barrels. The one with the vintage 3/4" scope is in mint condition its just to bad someone drilled and tapped the receiver. The other one is a little dinged up 25% blue loss, both rifles are great shooters and quite accurate

I inherited my father's 74, he claims it never failed him and used to shoot hundreds of rounds per day. Circa 1948 and still fires like a champ. Thank you for sharing.
