A strong showing from the cap & ball crowd! Cool.
Mine is a stock stainless New Vaquero. I'm looking to put some nicer grips on it. I'm thinking about stag ones. Nice balance of texture and style. I'd love to see some more leverguns and coachguns. Pistols are always welcome too.

The top gun in my group, the Savage & North, is actually lever action. The ring under the trigger cocks the hammer and rotates the cylinder.

In the pic of the doubles the second from top is an Elsie made in 1909. It has a homemade forearm in that pic. I have since found an original splinter forearm that looks much better. Now if I could just find an original stock reasonably priced(cheap).

Lookin' good fellas!
Quick question. Does anyone make a (SASS legal) lever rifle with a more "pistol-style" gripped stock like you see on some Marlin 1895's or stoeger Coach Guns, BUT in .38/.357? I find the straighter "English" stock awkward by comparision. Great pics! Keep 'em Comin'

OK, you all chase the bad guys into that gully, and I'll lob in the grenades -
We'll divvy up the reward money, equal shares... |

Yeah, it's basically a 1/2 scale repro of the English Coehorn mortar.... one of my books indicates that mortars of this size may have actually been used for launching grenades on the battlefield.
I read that Montana vigilantes used a small howitzer to blast a bandit's cabin in 1864.... so maybe artillery pieces can be counted as "cowboy guns"? I know, it's a stretch Last edited by ofitg; May 20, 2010 at 03:44 PM. |

I'm really sorry for veering this off into no-man's land, but I can't help myself...
