Yeah, two of my dogs photo-bombed me. One is a Cocker, the other a Springer. In the second pic, the 1874 (top) was laying at a wonky angle so it doesn't look right. Here's a better shot of the 1874.- KilroyCD

My latest addition, a replica 1863 Sharps Sporting Rifle with vintage-style 4x scope. Now here it is with the rest of my Sharps "family". However, one of those is not as it seems...- KilroyCD

Deacon, this won't be my first firearms themed piece of furniture. Not quite a year and a half ago I posted about my new floor lamp: Show us your Guns!- KilroyCD

Here's something I picked up in September during a visit to International Military Antiques (IMA). I was on a bit of a tight budget so I had to put my first choice aside for another visit - a Brunswick rifle . So I went there to look over the P1853 parts guns to see if there were any...- KilroyCD

I don't know, Deacon. I haven't fired it yet. I suspect they should be similar, as the weights are close. But the Mauser's bore axis is lower, so the Rolling Block might have a different feel to it.- KilroyCD

Here's one of my latest, and it's one that I haven't seen all that many of. It's an H&R 155 Shikari in .45-70 with a 28" barrel and a Creedmoor tang sight.- KilroyCD

Here's one of my recent additions. Got it at a local auction where it was described as an Enfield 1876 Martini Henry, but it's not quite as it seems. It's actually an Afghan-made Martini (and not a Kabul Arsenal Martini) that had its original markings scrubbed and spurious British markings...- KilroyCD

Here's one that followed me home from the shop recently. It's a 1916 Smith & Wesson .455 Hand Ejector Second Model that had been altered to shoot .45ACP using half-moon clips. At some point in its life it also had target sights and grips installed. I'm looking for a set of original grips, but...- KilroyCD

I'm not aware of anyone reproducing any British single shot rifles, but Pedersoli makes a nice double, very reminiscent of the Express rifles: http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/tipologia-prodotti.asp/l_en/idt_61/rifles-kodiak-mark-iv.html- KilroyCD

My latest addition This is one I've wanted for a long time, and I just got it on Friday. It's a Taylor & Co. Model 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle in .45-70. I'll be ordering a tang sight and front globe sight for it shortly.- KilroyCD

My latest antique Here's my latest antique rifle, a Nepalese P1864 Snider-Enfield. This was part of the cache brought out of Nepal in 2003 by International Military Antiques and Atlanta Cutlery in 2003. I bought this at an auction, looking rather forlorn and in need of some tlc...- KilroyCD

I recently snagged this mystery rifle at an auction for just $70. It is apparently a home brew, as it's a percussion rifle using a boxy action with a horizontal sliding hammer and a cut down barrel from a .45-70 Trapdoor. Notice that it has a Buffington rear sight (which is definitely worth a...- KilroyCD

It's been a little while since I've posted, but I haven't been completely inactive either. I've been on a little kick lately adding some vintage Stevens .22 rifles to my collection. Here's a later production Model 1894 Favorite I picked up for the princely sum of $40 at an auction. Since the...- KilroyCD

It has been a month of ups and downs. Three weeks ago I adopted this sweet boy from the Mid Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue (MAESSR). His name is Bandit, he's ten years old (and acts like he's three) and he is blind in the left eye but that doesn't seem to affect him. Pardon the...- KilroyCD
