Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

[joeradza]

The knives are gone but the Bersa remains one of my favorites. The Colt is my all time favorite. This one was a gift to replace a user.

I have had the Winchester 69 since 1959.

Very nice assemblage of firearms and knives! What about the top rifle, is it a Shiloh Sharps? What caliber?

Yes; Shiloh in .40-65

Unusual caliber. My great grampa's Winchester 1886 octagon half magazine was a .40-65.

I thought that trigger guard looked familiar. A Winchester model 67 (single shot .22 short, long, long rifle) from 1934-1964 (no serial #).

I think the safety flipped from side to side?

Yes, the safety is PULL type at rear of receiver and the locking "ears"on it flip side to side.

That caliber was popular a few years ago (still?) for silhouette.

I remember that. I don't hear much about metallic silhouette shooting these days, but I'm not exactly in the loop.

That model 22 is the one I first learned to shoot rimfire. My Dad got his Win 67 in the late 30's. Was a trade with an older brother (or was it a cousin?), for working their gas station shift for a day or two. It has stayed in the family. Although I was the one to put the most rounds through it in the 15 years that it was in my possession, my brother ended up with it. Though he hasn't shot it since he was a teen, he refinished the stock for a school woodshop project. So has always dubbed it his. About 20 years ago I made him pull it out of his closet so I could oil it. But doubt it's been out of the soft zipper case since. Too bad it couldn't rest next to my Dad's Golden Eagle BB Gun in my safe where it belongs.

At least you've got warm memories of your dad and that rifle, and you don't have to oil those.

A buddy of mine has a cabin on the Ohio river directly above smithland lock. I wanted to swap out my house gun to this 38spl and was checking out the point of aim and point of impact (retro cqb).
It was made in 1956 so theoretically it is a modern firearm (?). No +p ammo.
My buddy and a gentleman that is selling red rock( to reinforce the bank) negotiating over price
Between the river, bon fire and shooting my single action a big shot of morale river is right at half mile wide at this location

Gerber Mark I combat dagger (1976-1980) in L6 tool steel and Armorhide clad aluminum handle and a Ruger Mark I Target (1979) in .22 LR. That's not a fancy new extended magazine; I just promised Miss Norma that I'd be safe on the back deck, so I didn't ram the loaded magazine home.
