Let's start the new forum with a Picture thread for fun...
Nice to see the staff set this forum up from Jeffenwulf's suggestion. I look forward to perusing this forum and learning and sharing.
Maybe we can build some enthusiasm by starting with a picture thread? Maybe, your favorite C&R firearm? Or your favorite two or three you have? Here's my newest, a very early Navy Victory from the spring of 1942: |

Started as Swedish army issue, did some time as a police weapon and still looks pretty good.

Colt M1903
The one on the bottom, made in 1905. The picture doesn't do it justice; it's among the nicest ones I've ever seen of that vintage.

Oh, and this one...
A WWII Remington Model 11 riot gun. I don't know why they have such a mystique, but there's just something about a combat shotgun...
I need to get the correct forearm for it someday. |

My 1903 Colt made in 1928. This thing never sees the light of day. There isnt a blemish visible anywhere on this 90 year old pistol.
I even have the perfect condition genuine mother-of-pearl grips that came with it. |

the ones I posted are brothers to the CZ-52... ( I also have one like pictured above, that USMC posted ), in the same case of old Cezch guns
BTW... that Colt is awesome... I have this baby... I had to replace the grips, as the factory hard rubber ( similar to yours ) was cracked... I still keep an eye out for a set of good original grips... think the white ones look a bit cheesy... even with the Colt medallion...

WildAlaska,
There's something wrong with a body that owns that many Nagants. It ain't natural, I tell you.

Thanks a lot, kamerer. I had never heard of the Navy Victory before, and know that I know it exists, and being a C&R nut, as well as having been in the Navy myself, now I have to get one. Thanks for costing me a bunch of money.
Very cool. I'll have to look into availability and cost. May be able to ge one as a "new job" celebration gun if all goes well next week with my interview.

Actually that would make a good sticky for this forum; maybe in a while I could compile tips about that and do that. |
