The Entire Collection
 
Figured I'd start a new threat rather than clutter up the old one. A few people asked earlier about a picture of my rifle collection - that is way too difficult, so here's 15 pictures of everything I have on hand right now.

And, once again, the pistols.

I like how you categorized them by where there from. Very nice collection, impressive indeed.

You should try for more US WWII weaponry, like a Springfield M1903 of some type, or maybe a Johnson rifle. But that's just me.

Hope you never have an unexpected liquidation sale though. Lots of guys I know end up selling their big collections of vintage guns to pay of debt or something. So knock on hard wood. ;)

Shame on you for putting the 1911 at the bottom of the picture!

Love very much. :)

Saving the best for last, of course. ;)

The wood on most of those rifles look to be in pretty bad condition. Probably from old age.

Gunmaster45 08-04-2009 08:23 PM

They're service rifles. Even with chips and wearing, with gloss like that those stocks are in great shape.

Nyles 08-04-2009 11:09 PM

Excuse me? The only one with wood in remotely bad condition is the Carcano. What exactly do you expect a 60-140 year old to look like?

Ace Oliveira 08-04-2009 11:29 PM

It's just that the wood is so dark.
