Yeah, I recall reading once upon a time that real pistol fights take place at knife range. Anything farther away you're better off with a long gun.

Took one of my favorite long guns out this A.M. Made in 1929 by Brno in Chechosolvakia for the Iranian army 8mm mauser G98

Bigshoe, that is one fine 98. Here's a pic of the Glockster twins. The 19 is on top and my duty gun on the bottom:

Some nice Gen 3's you got there Deacon. Those are two of my favorite Glocks. There size makes them both ideal for duty cary as well as concealed or plain clothes cary. Are those TruGlos on the 19?

I don't know! They came on the gun and I cannot find any like them in either Brownell's or MidwayUSA's catalogs or websites. A very good sight picture, I will see how they work at the range this week, if they are good, I'll keep them, but if not, it will get a set of Trijicons.

Are they tritium and fiber optic or just fiber optic?

Nice. One of my favorites is a 1929 Husqvarna Mod 46 sporter in 9.3x57

I did not know they had a lot of moose in Texas.

Real handy with the occasional polar bear as well

DeaconKC · Dec 1, 2014

Kirk, just a straight red fiber optic.

DeaconKC · Dec 1, 2014

I hate useless gadgets but had a nice surprise a couple weeks ago. Picked up a Wilson Combat checkered front strap cover for a 1911 and it really works well and looks good. Then I started looking at my Sig P220 and it will fit that too with a little trimming.

Oldsarge · Dec 2, 2014

and it looks sharp as well.

Smelly

Here's a pretty nice SMLE that's currently living Chez Moi:

John Jovino import mark

optimistic rear sight

Lithgow 1936 - of course some Aussie had to paint all over it!

Renault · Dec 6, 2014

Well, now that's nice Mike! Just the way I like things of this nature. Wood and steel! Very fitting and proper! Good for you!

MikePotts · Dec 6, 2014

It belongs to a friend of mine who wants to sell it - he just can't come up with a price :whistling - all matching numbers though.

Renault · Dec 6, 2014

Well I'm currently nursing the Model 1895 Winchester bug. I've decided that .303 would be one of the cartridges I'd consider. Had a really nice 95 in .303 come thru the shop about 10 years ago. Just didn't have the fever then.

I'd also consider .35 WCF and .405 WCF cartridges. I'm in no hurry. One will show its face!

MikePotts · Dec 7, 2014

Yeah, I'm giving serious consideration to .303" that I can 'scope up - probably a Ruger No.1 but they do bring a premium!

Renault · Dec 7, 2014

Young son is currently working on his rendition of a Lee-Speed/ BSA Sporter based on an old #1 Mk III. If he could ever to get a chance to be at home and work on it. He's been doing lots of field work (archaeologist). As soon as he's got it ready, I'll post a pic!

MikePotts · Dec 7, 2014

That'd be great, I had a "Long Lee" sporter a la "The Ghost & The Darkness" for a while but at the time couldn't afford the "Purdey mounts & rings" to go with it..........probably still can't!

DeaconKC · Dec 7, 2014

If you are ever in Chicago, the Field Museum has the two lions from "Maneaters of Tsavo" there.

I would really like a Double Rifle in .303! They are not all that expensive, but, when they come up for sale, they go lightning fast.
