Cool cap gun pardner!

Here's another one I picked up from Dad. It's a Remington model 1908 12g take down in standard grade. I know the model 10's are inexpensive and pretty common, but I have no idea about this earlier version.

Those older Remingtons are supposed to be indestructible.

Supposedly it's hard to get a hold of a good quality older Remington shotgun for a good price.

I'm a big Remington fan as far as rifles go....but I'm a Benelli shotgunner.

That would be nice although the stock has some hairline cracks which it seems is typical. It must have a hell of a kick. I'll pick up the last two rifles in a week or so. One is a Krag 30-40 that's sporterized and the other is a Remington 30 06 of some type. Both are scoped and the 30 06 was Grandpa's deer rifle.

These are my toys from top to bottom
1) K43 scoped (4x Optikotechna) infantry rifle factory code ac44.
2) Remington M870 12ga, which I just picked up for the wife. She's really good with it.
3) Old Soviet TT33 I think from 1941
4) Ruger .177 pellet break barrel air rifle with a 4x32 scope which I use to control the over abundant TreeRat population in my backyard. Helluva good rifle for under $100.

Also in my inventory is an old Colt Navy Black Powder and an almost pristine Fabrique Nationale Model 1949 (FN49) 7mm. Though they are at my brothers house.

^A man w/o his Colt's cap and ball...is not a man!

I'll have a Hamm's on that Barkeep! PS: I'm still out there with an old Sears-Roebuck .16 gauge pump that refuses to die....just to back up my Uberti and Lyman Colt Navy's .36's

carried properly in their reverse flap holsters!

A rebranded XS25. Good platform. A good tune and a 3x9x40 AO Center Point scope will have you taking bottle necks at 75 yards.

I've always kinda wanted one of those. Never fired one...but I've got to get one to pair up with the Mosin.

My dad has got an FN49. They're great rifles....especially for deer. The only thing about ours is that the sight hood/shroud/etc is missing. Other than that, good condition. I like it.

Never known anybody else who had one.

That's what I am still looking for. Unfortunately they do not come cheap from what I have seen so far.

Rockstar · 01-22-15, 10:20 PM

oooo that looks like a CMP hardcase.

Lucky you. That rifle was once #1 on my list of things to get, then I got married.

August · 01-22-15, 10:47 PM

Yep I got a CMP special grade. The receiver is an H&R 1953-54 vintage.

This is a completely refurbished rifle consisting of an original M1 Garand Springfield or HRA receiver, new production Criterion barrel, new production American Walnut stock and handguards, and new web sling.

Beautiful rifle.

I've handled them but never managed to get behind one. I'd love to one of these days.

X -Caliber® is designed for use in any condition and with any ammunition available.

Originally designed with two calibers, a rifled .22 LR and a smooth bore .12 GA -, this rifle can fire up to 12 different calibers thanks to the 8 steel adapters supplied.

In addition to the two original gauges, adapters allow you to shoot 8 pistol calibers ( .380 , 9 mm , .357Mag/.38SP , .40 S & W, .44 Mag, .45 ACP , .410/.45colt ) and two shotgun calibers (410 ga, 20ga), combining the flexibility of a shotgun and the power of a rifled gun.

It really is! The stock is lovely grained and the parkerizing is well done too.

CCIP · 03-12-15, 09:52 PM

The finish on that is fantastic! They really did a fantastic job with that refurb, without spoiling the authentic Garand feel of it one bit
