The I LOVE THIS GUN Thread

Spanish,American war,yea coulda been.The Spanish like 7mm Mausers.


I wasn't mock'n him at all.Just thrown in my two cents.

The only thing I don't like is the top eject. It throws a shell up in you face if you keep the rifle shouldered and work the lever. That's why I sold my Winchester 94.

All new 94's have angle eject,cause there all tapped for scope mounts.
They haven't straight out top ejected in 10-12 years atleast.
Just say'n.

I got nothing. He bought. He died. I inherited it. There are no markings on the gun, but now I will have it evaluated.

And the AR stock, plastic, rails, muzzle brake, flash hider, etc... doesn't bother you?

A big fat plus uno!

You clearly missed the "Supposedly" part in the post. As I stated before, I have no idea when the rifle was made or of its origins since there isn't a single marking on the gun. I was with my father when he bought the gun (I was about 8 or 9 at the time and I'm 45 now) and remember what he was told. Was it true? Who knows... I don't even know if 7MM is the right cartridge for the gun. But as I stated before, I will have the gun evaluated by a professional and report back...

The Feds ordered a pile of them starting in March 1864, but they were never issued during the war, hostilities ceased by the time they took full delivery. They were bought back by Remington and sold to the French and used in the Frank-Prussian war.

Send me as many pics as you've got. I'll bounce it off my reference materials and see what we come up with.

While you are messing with the extractor be sure to remove the firing pin and clean the channel. Maybe you can put a little more bend in the extractor like a 1911.

Nice guns.

Amazing, needs more steam, less punk

Is it just me who finds this hideous?

What's next, AR-15's with wood furniture and brass fittings?

Mattel Buckle Gun and Western Belt Set w/ Box






Up for sale is a very unusual little buckle gun made by Mattel in the 60s. This gun was made to fire when stomach was pushed out, as shown on the back of the box. This set looks brand new and never played with, but is missing the two toy bullets. Clear plastic window, on box, has been torn from toy removal. Unique Remington Derringer toy gun from Mattel.

Yes, looks silly in a bad way. Not even an attempt to be period correct.

Time to mortgage my house

A set of $333,000.00 Perazzis :huh



The neighbors weren't too shabby either.... SHOT 2012

Nice rifle..308 is one of my favorite cartridges.

This calls for a new term to properly describe the gun in question. We have already had the term tacticool for those who want to dress up their 22 like a big bad ass battle rifle.

I think for situations where it has been taken to this extreme that the term "tactifool" is appropriate. It would describe the weapon and owner equally well. The process of turning an otherwise good gun into something like this should be called "tactifoolish".
