Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

Do you use the musket's .45-70-500
The Carbine's .45-70-405
Or the "modern" never issued .45-70-350
cartridge for your Deer, Elk/Moose and Bear hunting?
(When three numbers are used in a black powder cartridge name/designation the last number is bullet weight in grains.)
Have you ever hand loaded a .458 round ball for small game hunting, using black powder or Pyrodex?

A great combination you have there. :)

Thank you, those rounds are 500 grains with 65 grains 2F blackpowder, I actually prefer to use the 405 grain hollow base bullets in the trapdoor. I don't hunt with this rifle, it's a ramrod bayonet model and just too long and heavy, pretty much just bang steel with it. Never tried 405 round ball.

Here’s a simple, favorite combination, a Rock Island GI, a S&W 640, and traditional folders:

My two favorite guns with beautiful traditional knives. Bought a 640 when it came out 1995 or 1996. It's a handful! Traded for a 642 .38 Special rated for +p and put on very concealable rosewood Craig Spegal grips. My remaining .357s are larger: a K-frame snubby and a Dan Wesson 8-inch barrel.
Love that almost mil-spec .45 too, with the old grip safety and hammer spur. I hate the beavertail safeties and skeletonized hammers they put on most of them nowadays.
Nice pic!

My Grandfather carried this 1911 in WWII. It is a Remington Rand (Not Remington Arms). They made sewing machines before and after the war.
I have posted it before, but because you have asked for military weapons, I will post again.

Even though the sights were minimal, I love the old mil-spec 1911s. They looked so much better than all the fancy tricked out guns of today, with beavertail grip safeties (I've NEVER had the hammer bite me with the old safety) and skeletonized triggers and bobbed hammers.
Great pairing!
