Gather Up a Posse

[EdInk]

That is the style grip I want but like double the price. Over $1100.00 is bit steep for me.

[Hawg]

The Uberti 1873 Special Sporting Rifle has a pistol-grip stock.

It's more of a semi pistol grip. The top of the grip is flat and only a little curve on the bottom. The lever is even straight.

[Hawg]

And ya ain't a real cowboy til ya gets a pair of these.

[pohill]

dlon21, that is quite a collection of originals. Colts Dragoon, Army, a few Remingtons...is that a Rogers & Spencer? Any more you didn't show?
Do you shoot them or just admire them?
That's quite a shotgun. Is it a "coach gun"?

[dlon21]

Sure, I shoot them occasionally. Especially the 1858 that's not as pristine as the other one. I think the 1858 type is my favorite. I also have a little Remington Police, that's all the revolvers I have, if I haven't forgotten one. The Dragoon, I've tried out two times. Hits right on target , with the 30 gr charger on my powder flask. A little on the heavy side though.

The Rogers&Spencer seems nice, but only tried it once. Don't like it as much because it's a lot of work taking it apart I think.

The shotgun is a cut-down coach gun, yes. Barrels are 20 inches, in about 12gauge, and it has very nice engraving on it with a lot of the gold wash left. Also have a 10 ga. with full length barrels that seems to pack some punch

And lastly I have a rebuilt springfield 1861, or 1860-something, .58 cal minie rifle. Haven't shot that very much though. Used to have a 4-inch Colt police, but traded it away. Also looking for a Sharps, but money is my limit here in life :barf:

I never thought of this as a cowboy gun, but I guess that there was a sodbuster or two who had one of these over the mantle...just in case!









It belonged to this stalwart feller, a proud member of the 27th Michigan Volunteer Infantry. My great great grandfather, Sgt. George Henry Dunn, late of Atchison, Kansas.

[Hawg]

Nice Springfield. I have an original Enfield dated 1861. Don't have any good pics of it tho.

[Forklift]

I've posted this already, but heck... when in cowboy country, do as the cowboys!

[Fingers McGee]

On the rare occasion that I'm not shooting C&B psitols in a SASS match, I sometimes shoot these - pair of Uberti Cattlemen in 44-40.


Shotgun could be a TTN, Liberty II or this original 1889 Remington with 20" and 30" barrels.



And last but not the least, here are a couple of my CAS rifles. '66 Carbine, '73 short rifle and Lightning all in 44-40. H&R Officers model Springfield in 45-70.

[Hardcase]

And a pair of turn-of-the-century 1897s that my great granddad traded for some plumbing work. If you're smarter than me, you can see that the bottom gun in the second picture has a new(er) slide. "Baba" was pretty good at making Frankenguns!





My dad's first shotgun - late 1800's Janssen, Sons & Co. 12 gauge with the dreaded Belgian Laminated Steel barrels. Shoots black powder like a dream!

[SainthoodDenied]

Here's a few of mine.

Hardcase - you might look into reducing the size of your photos for posting. It would help in reading your messages.

Oopsie, sorry about that - they looked fine on my embarrassingly large monitor, but not so much on my notebook. Thanks for the head's up.

[Nite Ryder]

Here are some of my single actions. A couple Ruger 22 semi auto's are in the background.

Here is a photo of some of my leather.

[Hawg]

Cool. Nice to see somebody else likes jingle bobs.

My leather.

[Fingers McGee]

Those Santa Barbaras are beautimous guns there SG

[Smokin_Gun]

Thanks Fingers, I do like them thangs...steels hard bluing is hard they reall don't ding up any. Yessir them E.N. Santa barbaras are cool.:
I've only got two left...when I did my last clean out of the safe jus' for a "few dollars more" that's one I ... the one with less engraving(dang thinkin' a gettin' it back). But hell I have a prestine unfired non engraved one too so either way I got a pair.

[RemTim]

Smokin_Gun, those Santa Barbaras are gorgeous. Wow!

[Smokin_Gun]

They will give you a Superman's thumb as they carry a heavy mainspring...I like um heavy and besides I don't have the heart to change these SBs any.
Jus' cause they shoot just as good as the looks
I like my Colts with a lighter mainspring jus' cause they seem to work better that way ... and I shoot um straighter. I dunno I'm just a Rem man that has alot a Colts(and likes um too)
I think if I had a 1/4 the Colt collection that Fingers has I'd be a Colt man that deep down was a Rem man.
