Buck-n-Guns

[mill428]

Here is my Dad's 870 that I mentioned in my last post. He bought it primarily for duck and goose hunting so it has a 30" barrel and a full choke. He only had a few firearms in his life but the ones he had, he took meticulous care of. You can see that in this shotgun. His cleaning ritual is where I, at a young age, developed my love for the smell of Hoppes #9. He bought it in 1972 and there isn't a scratch or a ding on it. And it's not because he didn't use it. If you look close, you'll see the stock is cracked up by the receiver. It happened from him shooting too many 3 inch mags.

Here it is with a 110 of the same vintage. Too bad Remington didn't maintain the same craftsmanship that Buck has all these years. The wood on this 870 is beautiful and the steel is deep shiny blue. Now, not so much.

This little non-ported Taurus 451 in 45 Long Colt spent its life in my dad’s bed stand drawer. After he passed in 2013 it wound up in my possession. It kinda likes the Underwood 225 gr hard cast wadcutters at 1050 fps. I used that load when my dog and I go for a walk in the woods. You kinda want to have a good grip on the gun when you pull the trigger. The Buck 110 speaks for itself.

Took the night stand gun out for a cleaning, figured I would get the BCCI 117/102 out for some air also. Enjoy Pete

Very nice combo! Buck and Ruger go together like gravy and biscuits.

I am so glad you revived this thread! It combines my two favorite subjects.

Mine are a little less tactical. At least today. This is a smoothed over Smith M10-3 from 1962 wearing some old "messaged" stocks that fit my hand perfectly. It's paired with - of course - one of my favorite 110 users. These carry well around our property.

When I bought it, it came with this old Brauer Bros. holster it had lived in for decades. If only it could talk.

Alright, I'll go a little more tactical. My HK45 with the most tactical 110 I have.

I need to post a warmer picture to finish out the evening. That last one left me a little cold. The revolver is an old M&P 38 Special I call "grandpa" because it was made in 1915 - the year my grandpa was born. In the middle is the Winchester 97 my great-grandfather bought new a year later. The 118 is the oldest Buck I own. It's only as old as I am. All are still very capable tools.
