You're right. I forgot the LeMat. And I even helped write rules for it for a boardgame I worked on with a friend!

The same friend collects older weapons. He owns a Sharps, a rolling-block Remington, an 1870s-era pisotl he got from a guy carrying it around a gun show in a box ("Grandpa died, and we found it in his attic. We don't want the damned thing in the house!"). He also has a big bunch of Uberti replicas, including a .58 caliber Civil War-style muzzle-loading rifle, which is a hoot to shoot.

I love buying things from people who don't know what they have.

Is that a smooth bore pistol? If so, it falls into the AOW category of the NFA, and is regulated.

Nah, they're rifled.

Especially when you say "I'll give you fifty bucks for it" and they say "Okay, sure."

Well I thank the law that every handgun in the UK is regulated because I've been involved with one or two of the consequences when it wasn't but I do recognise the difference in the law between our two countries and the attitudes/principles/laws of our population.

My collection isn't as big as it once was, had to sell some, mostly Civil War rifles, some have decent value, some are POS I dug out of the groud metal detecting.

Best gun is a Confed. Richmond rifle musket, last value around 7K, but others selling lower these days. Economy keep going to hell, I'll probably have it auctioned off.

I hunt with a Winchester 3006. I have a nice shooting German 7MM mauser with the original sniper adjustable sites. The site giving it value, but only worth about $1300.

Have about 100 other worthless guns I've bought on construction sites.

TarJak · 12-01-10, 05:35 PM

Do these count as a collection?

Or is it just the one item?

krashkart · 12-01-10, 05:37 PM

I have some memories of a Marlin .30-30 rifle I got for my thirteenth birthday.

Rockstar · 12-01-10, 06:00 PM

The Mosin Nagnat scoped rifle at 850 yards. Not bad for a 60 plus year old shootin iron. Wish I had a play ground like shooter has too.

Unfortunately I don't get out much anymore the TT33 was used mostly to punch paper sillouettes at 25 yards. Been about four years or more since I last fired it.

I don't have pics of mine but here's someone else with their G/K43 in action. Must admit it is an awkward design trying to managing the bolt when I have the scope and mount attached. Also when ejecting brass it absolutely mauls them, making it impossible for reloads.

Looking at the video.

Call of Duty really captured the sound of that rifle well

Platapus · 12-01-10, 06:37 PM

Back when I shot USPSA I used my venerable SIG 226.

Nice weapon

TarJak wins.

You really can't appreciate the report of a Nagant until you're sitting behind it. Let me tell you, it's....sinus-clearing.

@Jim....yeah, I'm of the belief that complete handgun registration would be damn near impossible here in The States. Too many guns already in the system.
