Show us your Guns!

Thanks for the tips, guys. I like the ones from dixie guns but they seem a tad to expensive for a gift to someone who only want it as a decorative piece...

Hi, I only caught replica. Look up Non-Firing Flintlock Pistol. I found a LOT of links, but I can't see some of then at work, too many viruses.

Well lads, yesterday afternoon we got in two CASED Holland & Holland double guns. Both 12 gauge. I wouldn't say they were the best of guns but they were Holland & Hollands. The newer gun (prolly fron the teens or twenties, didn't get much chance to look it over) with the Anson and Deely style action left this morning an hour after the shop opened. The other gun is a back-action, hammerless, side lock gun prolly from around the turn of the century. Some dolt had both bbls reamed out to skeet & skeet... And they put on a old solid Pachmayr pad. BUT it looked like the pad was an add on so the LOP was prolly original. One of my co-workers was going to call Holland & Holland tomorrow (tonight) to verify all the other stuff with this gun. I think he'll end up with it. May even go back across the pond for a refurb knowing him!!!

So that's the exciting stuff this week at our shop. Who knows what next week will bring...

Does this look cheap?

Yes. There are several importers (at least two in Canada) who import Indian-made muzzleloaders, which for your purposes are worth a look.

A back action? Oh, be still my heart! What a treasure. And you can get beautiful quality work for a lot less than H&H will charge from Dale Tate in Ione, California. No, I have no financial connection. Yes, I've met him and seen his work. Good man. London trained. By Purdy, I believe.

Thank you, Story.

Da nada. Loyalist Arms was one of the Canadian companies I was trying to remember (Heritage Arms (?) is the other). Loyalist ships their reproductions with the touchholes undrilled, which makes them technically not weapons and thus mail-able to the US w/o issues.

They just email out their specials til September 15th ($75 of select muskets).

What do you guys think of this? This might be the one...

 

[Oldsarge]

Ah! A hand blunderbuss, the flintlock version of the sawed off shotgun. And it's cute, too.

how much was that tompson 30's sliphorn

how much was that tompson 30's sliphorn

I bought it about 6 years ago for $1,000. I think new they are around $1,300 - $1,500 from Auto Ordnance, depending upon the options you go with.

If it bothers you that much, you can just give it to me I like the look of the Thompson with the long barrel. I'd put a vertical foregrip and a drum mag on it though. cliche, I know.....

William Helmer wrote a book about them called The Gun That Made the Twenties Roar. It was his doctoral dissertation!

Hah! Well, maybe it doesn't bother me THAT much.... One thing about that long barrel though, it is very accurate at 100 yards, something the originals probably weren't. I do have the vertical foregrip and drum magazine, just hadn't put them on for the photo. That REALLY makes the barrel look long!

Absolutely beautiful Hi-Power! And for that price?!? Those kind of deals never come my way. I got to start hanging out in the pubs more frequently.
