Photos Knives & Guns

Sunday was gun day .... my loaded M1a was the last rifle to be checked / recalibrated after the move.

With 6x42 first (that Bassett scope-mount comes with a cute little torque wrench and holds zero when removed/re-attached):

Then with Irons, after fixing a loose front sight:

Note to self: need bigger targets; front sight almost covers these at 100 yards .... being a little far sighted helps though

Very nice

I like to use a paddle holster, occasionally. So easy to put on/off.

This is the first paddle, leather holster I have seen.

This is the first paddle, leather holster I have seen.

Came from Turkey - nice and thick leather. I swapped the paddle though, the original was rotating.

This was US made, photo from a couple of months ago.

Nice. Holster looks sturdy.

I got reminded of this thread by a comment from @norcain another thread.

This is my dad's 1873 Winchester that according to the serial number lookup was manufactured in 1876 and was purchased new by my ancestor and handed down every generation. There's a rolled up paper in the stock with the cleaning rod that lists every owner.

The rear sight spring broke off and there is a small crack on the underside of the stock but it's as functional as ever. Has an awesome patina.

Wow, lucky dog! Gotta love it when a classic gets handed down in the same family for almost 150 years!

The 1873 might be my favorite lever action purely based on looks. That's a beauty!
