Gotta love old M12's (especially 16's) that show years of honest wear. I'd rather have an ols gun with honest wear than a new gun right out of the box. It's a respectability thing: the gun's been there and done that.
Well said. As a friend - Old Sarge and I know - on some gunboards writes, "Never hunt with a cartridge younger than you." I think can often be applied to your firearm as well (classic custom jobs and home project guns aside, I've put together a couple of flintlock kits and in the white guns that I'd exclude from this ruleI'd rather have an ols gun with honest wear than a new gun right out of the box. It's a respectability thing: the gun's been there and done that.).

Nice '03 's you have there Doublegun. My friend has one, I'll have to give it a closer look next time I'm over.
I usually hunt with my Marlin 336 (.30-30) or Mannlicher- Schoenauer (.243) but I recently aquired a Remington 700 ADL (.30-06) that will be seeing some field time soon.
Well, gave the Taurus 38 a little TLC. Still gotta do something with the grips, but that is okay. Some brass wool & oil, then cleaned and cold blued. I wouldn't do this to a collector's gun, but for a bedside piece it is a lot better.
The little mud puppy cleaned up okay.
Yes it did, well done sir!
I stopped by a local gun shop today and came home with another gun that was on my short list...sort of. I was interested in a GSG (German Sport Guns) M1911-22 or the new Colt Government 1911 in .22LR. What I came home with was a Sig Sauer M1911-22, and she's a beauty!
Tomorrow I'll be taking her to the range to see if she shoots as well as she looks.

Thought I'd add my 1911. A PARA-ORD. P-13 in stainless with a K.L. Null horsehide holster.
.45acp of course.

The P-13 slightly slicked out is one of my favorite carry guns. I have one just like yours with a very similar holster. Nice.
