    Show us your Guns!

    It followed me home from the last Austin show. After some digging I've determined it's a Gibbs No.7 - not really historically accurate in any sense as far as I can tell, but an offering I found intriguing nonetheless. I.e. - I walked by the table, a small voice in the back of my head said...

    Show us your Guns!

    A late acquisition. This one's a five-screw K-frame, on the market before there was such a thing as the Model 10. As best I can decipher, production was sometime in the early '20s. The nickel finish came somewhat later. I also happened to wander onto the Cabelas website, and since...

    Ack! Double post.

    Share your own art here :)

    Lately I've been dabbling in technical drawings (again) - mostly a mix of old airplanes and old guns. It's still an airplane kick at the moment. This is the latest. It goes to a small pulp-ish fictional project of mine. It's getting there, but not quite finished. I think it needs...

    G-Man action shooting

    Dunno what good it'd do be way down south here, but you have my attention. :D

    It occurs to me that I may need to post an update. Gainful employment seems to have swelled the collection somewhat. :D

    Thompson M1A1

    Cool. I was under the impression there was a six month delay. Perhaps that was for another animal. Anyway, I was considering sending mine to Paul Krogh and seeing what he could do. The springs need to be changed, as does the bolt handle (mine has the new one, which looks nothing like the...

    Thompson M1A1

    Isn't there a wait on those? I've been considering having mine SBR-ed, so I'd appreciate any insight you could provide on the matter.

    Bell UH-1 Huey

    If you can lay hands on a copy, read CW2. It's fiction and long out of print, but it's worth the time. I think the author was Layne Heath...or something along those lines. It's one of those books they'll have to pry from my dead fingers before I give it up.

    Bell UH-1 Huey

    Ooooh....Viet Nam-era low-level air warfare. Yet another of my favorite subjects and strange obsessions. :D

    Thompson M1A1

    It was a wonderful thing, seeing the ban go. Now if we could just be rid of all the leftovers that resulted. I mean, really - who wants a five-round mag for an M1 Carbine? Blasphemy, I say.

    Rate of fire mostly, but with a few aesthetic adjustments between models.

    Paramarines!

    I hear the Johnson is a fine rifle. The Reising, on the other hand....

    Thompson M1A1

    I think the 20-rd was about the only stick available until up around 1943 or so.

    Mmmm....Thompson goodness....:D

    Thompson M1A1

    I have a drum for mine. It's fun, but I can definitely see why it lost out to the stick mag. Not only the weight, but adding a drum makes the profile of the arm in question much wider, which tends to get in the way when you need quick handling. Plus, look at the construction. The drum has to...

    Thompson M1A1

    I believe it was senior non-coms and higher, if memory serves. Of course, depending on the breed of officer in charge, the relative position to rear echelon types, and the mission of the unit, just how strictly the distribution was watched might vary.

    I guess that makes me a Consolidated heathen. :D I do wish I remembered his name, though. :(

    A Rainy Afternoon

    Something I wrote for another site. Nonetheless, I figured it was worth posting here. The opening probably doesn't make much sense, but it should level off around the start of the second paragraph. *** I've been thinking a lot lately about a lot of things. Chief among them is the...

    NaNoWriMo

    Never done it myself, but my girlfriend's been at it for years. Last year, she decided it wasn't challenge enough and did NaNoWriWeek. Then not long after, she did NaNoWriDay. :eek:
