As a symbol of respect/recognition I can see the guy's old gunbelt and hat, devoid of cartridges or gun, at a maximum...if the guy was a friend or other (presumbly!) good guy. Never any hardware.

92&94, I'm so sorry. That's rough. Yes they are special, more than words can adequately say.

gak

If I knew the guy(s) on good terms, I'm sure they would want me or mine to have their stuff...and if not, I wouldn't care

gak

...but still puzzling. I am wondering, in the "old west," did they really leave a deceased gunman's rig and gun on their grave cross--supposedly out of respect or recognition--if out in the boonies--as shown in old TV yarns? - or was it just liberties taken for TV dramatic effect? (They wo...

For years while he was still around I wore my dad's A2 leather bomber he wore in his B-17 days - 'til it disintegrated from use!...and just before then after he died wore his MA1 and L2B all-green pilot jackets (from before the orange liner days if anyone remembers those classic jackets). I wore tho...

Only $21,850.00 each. I'll take two. Or maybe three :mrgreen: A dream is an understatement, more like a fantasy to find such a treasure. Who here would violate them by loading them up and shooting them ..... :twisted: I Would, in a heartbeat! Joe All but one Joe! That one would be put in a temperat...

After smugly watching others with this problem the last few days, I got hit by the bug this morning - smartphone (Blackberry) - my 90% mode these days - that's normally immune to anything hitting the computers. Being locked out, then loading and posting taking forever and several tries only on this ...

Drool. Those would look great all in a rack, Matt Dillon style, in the den I also don't have! I've got a SRC ca 1917 that's in decent shape, but nothing like those!!

+1 some fine looking firearms there. I like that El Patron. Held a similar Uberti/Cim/Taylors at a Bass Pro Shop with the polished checkered grips - and was really taken by their current levels of apparent quality. Sure enjoy my Cim Model P .44.

gak

Yes, ++1 thank you all for all you do and have done and sacrificed.

Shivers! I'm Indiana Jones about the fanged ones. No thanks! Have run across many a coontail and a few Mohaves in my time. I don't go hunting for them but neither I do I leave 'em to be someone else's problem - especially around the little ones - kids 'n dogs. There's a You Tube clip of somebody goi...

Imagine, it wasn't that long ago some of us were proposing (fantasizing about) USFA building a proper US-sourced "92 or '73 'n such to augment their stellar SA line. Difficult market realities of the higher end SA world or not, the Zip certainly is looking to me like the answer to a question no...

I've got mixed feelings here, a three pronger - between not entirely disagreeing with those that've said "forged it" and move on to something more worthy of restoration, OR just making it into a reliable .30-30 truck gun with minimal investment--either as 16" trapper or a new 20"...

Congratulations!

We've got a fully operational one here at the Commemorative Air Force Museum, Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. I know (am acquainted with) one of the pilots. A sight to behold. Unlike Sentimental Journey, the B17G HQ'd here and parked right next to the B-25 on the tarmac, to date only walk-arounds for the ...

Add to the list, the often overlooked "annex" of the Smithsonian/National Air & Space Museum at Dulles - suburban DC. One of the Space Shuttles, Enola Gay, the first 707 prototype n etc. Huge facility. Also a full height mock tower where you can listen to/watch on screen (recorded IIRC...

Congratulations - nice gun! How about a full pic of it? Easy for me to say, I don't CAS, but use the heck out of it! I'd like to see them make a SRC. Ed.- With the extranneous "safety" add ons thankfully banished from the '73, would be interesting to hear what the justification for keeping...

That "removal" clause killed it for me...that and storage room...and the $50,000

. So why don't I/we view a single stack 9mm that has the same capacity as a 1911 and 1-3 rounds more than a .38 snub as "not enough"? Or is it just me? :? I think it might be playing a psychological game in your mind - the knowledge that double stack compact examples have been out there n...

First time in Crescent City was late 60s on family vacation going up the coast. The beach there was still lined with maybe five feet of driftwood - maybe a half mile of the stuff - the type folks give an arm and leg for nowdays...all left over from the tsunami from the 64 (?) Alaska quake. We should...

Congrats! I hope not inappropriate, but ay yi yi

lucky fellow indeed! Enjoy the wedding and many many years of happiness and health beyond!

gak

I forget every other day that trial stuff is going on not ten miles from me. I guess because of the OJ trial comparisons, it seems like such an "L.A." thing and not lil' old Arizona! But then again we've been getting an awful lot of publicity in recent years for the wrong things!

You want to see something that really doesn't look right

Seems like half the pics out there of ths scene have the image reversed like this.

Right handed - left eye dominant here. Have shot revolvers right handed (left eyed) and rifles (mostly RH rifles) left handed all my life. Can't shoot worth a darn with a rifle right handed. Also, maybe he's ambidextrous like Chuck Connors, especially with a rifle, but favoring his right for pistola...

Realizing in a survival situation you'll eat anything I wouldn"t have thought cat-anything would be all that tasty. Interesting esepcially the mountain lion comment. Outside of survival, I draw the line at most any reptile, certainly snake, rat, pigeon (rats of the sky an apt name for them) dog...

Can you say "steal"?! Outstanding. I've certainly enjoyed mine, but it's been awhile since I've seen a side-by-side comparison - and didn't recall the carbine wood actually being longer than the rifle's. As you say, the carbine's no lightweight itself.!

Coolest bird around. We have a fair number of them in Arizona. (I think NM beat us to the "state bird" honors, so ours is the cactus wren!) They are fun to watch and do seem to race along the highway with the cars. Years ago I saw a roadrunner take on a good sized rattler. No problem. Like...

Cheap, maybe, but nice little gun and certainly good taste in gauge - nothing like a 16!

Glad you are aboard!

All I can say is wow - and drool.

Nother for 86.

Nice revolver gak. How did You do the antiquing ? I have been thinking of something similar. Regards I'll PM you more later this week - but sorry to say don't know. The fine folks at Cimarron obliged me. They didn't have one of their already antiqued ("original finish" aka Uberti "ol...

Amongst the rifle types, another +1 for the M1 Carbine. I hve not trued the AO's as Steve has, but my GI has run pretty flawlessly for the 60+ years we've had them. Mine has seen modest but consistent duty over that time frame, but not coddled, and is still 95% condition, though I too wouldn't mind ...

Welcome from a former Texan - well, two years as an Air Force brat in San Antonio!

Another thing - I just read the "one piece" part regarding your current grips. Mine were too - we had to fashion (weld) a locating pin for the Colt grips, as the Uberti--at least my example--didnt have one, being set up for a one-piece only from the factory.

gak

What he ^ said. Ubertis, or many of them at least, are just enough off from the Colts.as to make it an iffy proposition - unless you're right there to personally try a whole bunch of sets with the chance of being lucky on one. My smith, a well known Colt specialist, fashioned a set of 3rd Gen Colt e...

Mattie and LeBeouf are improved in the new movie. Jeff Bridges really didn't have a chance - it was a good effort to push the Rooster character to the extreme, but most of the movie, he sounds like he's reciting John Wayne with marbles in his mouth. Good observations. I really like Jeff Bridges, an...

That's a "no" to the AE part for Rossis and "no" to scoping easily--as in traditional mount. I still prefer the Rossis/92 design. Newer Rossis (going back 6-8-10 yrs (?) ) have forward "scout" mounting holes beneath the standard sight, and some Rossi models come equippe...

Welcome aboard!

I enjoyed both for different reasons. The first for the Duke and scenery - my favorite neck of the woods, the San Juan range in Southern Colorado, and the souundtrack I thought the remake should have at least used an instrumental/orchestrated version to connect the two a little bit more...but if I w...

New war flick - to me - "In the Company of Heroes" - I think probably one of those straight to DVD things. Not to be confused with efforts like Private Ryan, Pacific and Band of Brothers, still not a bad yarn. A little short on story and character development, qnd too much shot in the dark...

Cool! I'm planning to go tour those two for the umpteenth time (this stuff never gets old) next weekend at Falcon. I hear the B-17, Sentimental Journey, is having a longer winter residence here than usual - I think normally gone by now on national summer tour, so - lucky us! You can climb around in ...

Don't think AuctionArms has had the following that Gunbroker enjoys . My observation as well, but also perhaps why some things might get overlooked (for awhile). I've gotten a few things over the years including a very nice older Rossi 92 that just sat there at a very decent price that might not ha...

I haven't read everyone's in detail but I saw a bunch of good ones. Some folks got away from absolute minimalist right off, which is pretty redundant when you think of it...but I'll play - different levels (and only what I've got)....and I see I too get away from (my) "absolute" criteria r...

Thanks, gentlemen. Must be a mobile link issue as that's what I use 99% of the time--with success including that site (yes, I did try both addresses, same nil result).

I may be late to this, but have others noticed www.auctionarms.com which I think became www.gunauction.com this past year is either down or gone? I get a blank page - nothing.
