Steampunk Tactical?
No, I don't own this one (yet) but here's one for all you "black gun" enthusiasts out there. I just read about the Mossberg 464SPX in the latest American Rifleman magazine. I couldn't help but giggle a bit when I saw the picture, and the first thing that popped into my mind...
I picked up an Eddystone M-1917 earlier this year through the CMP, and it's a sweet shooter. I'm anxious to see the photos of yours.

The same day I got that little Winchester M1 Carbine I also picked up a second M1 Carbine (by National Postal Meter) that I traded to my brother for this Springfield M1 Garand. He didn't have an M1 Carbine yet and this Garand was virtually brand new. He still has two more M1 Garands, this...

I have my generator all primed and ready to go, two full gas cans...
Yes, IMA does sell online (www.IMA-USA.com), and it is possible to load ammunition for it (.577 Snider) using 24-gauge brass as the basis for custom loads. Here's a link to a thread on the British Militaria Forum about such a load...
Once again I pop in with another antique British rifle. This time it's a P-1864 Snider I picked up at the IMA Easton, PA showroom on 29 September. This was one of their "untouched" rifles from the Nepalese cache, in "as found" condition. First, the "before" pics:
Once the 130+ years...
Thanks, Deacon. I have a bit of a penchant for these Martini rifles, with seven different examples now in my collection. They're almost as addicting as M1 Garands.
Yet another Martini
Here's another auction find. It's an Egyptian Citadel Arsenal re-work in .303 British. The original markings were scrubbed when it went through arsenal refurbishment, but the "D" in Enfield and vestigial remains of the Victoria Crown are still slightly visible.
