I thought it was genocide, slavery and unbridled capitalism that made America what it is.

Not all that. I kinda sit at the kids table, but they are better shooters. Windy day I got lucky with a 46 out of 50.
Covid screwed up last year. Why the buckles have 2020 on it. Waste not ...

Martini Henry in 577/450 .

Its quite accurate for what it is.It consistently shoots into 4" at 100m.

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming, cant you see thier spear points gleaming.....

My twins.....8 3/8 barrel 686 S&W 357 magnums...both have been ported, muzzles crowned and have a bead blast finish.
The scoped one is from a small factory production run..

Now that's a pair of effin' pistols.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Beautiful.

 

[lumberjack]

Indeed! I have one with a 6" barrel. Most accurate handgun I own, likely. I've killed a rabbit at over 90 yards with it.

I shot a turtle at 140 yards with a 460. Equal parts overkill and luck.

For lethal weapons they're beautiful.

Back in Basic Training (Ft. Lewis, Wa. 1966) When qualifying on the range they told us, "If you can't get a good bead on your target then aim for the ground in front of it and let the ricochets do the rest.

It snowed on Qualifying Day. A real flurry gawddammit! Made 'Sharpshooter' but up to that day I was shooting 'Expert'. M14, M16.

Wasn't overkill if it was one of them 2 ton turtles.

Dumbest breach for a firearm I’ve ever seen.

Dumbest breach for a firearm I’ve ever seen.

Why so?

 

[Mellow]

Yeah, apparently. It looked like only four threads were actually holding.

 

[BlackSmith]

And shooting questionable reloads. That “breach” looks like something a kid would design.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I believe older cannons used that method.

 

[Burnham]

Side arms as fashion accessory? Not my cup of tea, either.

But they sure do look well done, Scott. Your SIL has obvious talent.

 

[Tree09]

He surely is, on one of the hardest mediums out there. Gunsmiths have to master so many different trades all at once.

PSA

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Way better

Interesting how the 08 Luger influenced pistol design all over.
Not the way it worked ( Which was, truth be told, pretty mediocre) but the way it looked.

Just the ones I have shot: Finnish Lahti, Japanese Nambu and I would say the P-38 looks like it, too.

Ruger firearms offer alot of gun for your money.
I have a Ruger 77/22 cut back to a 10" Barrel with a Suppresor attached.I have had it since I was 17.Its one of my favourite firearms.
