Does Anyone Have Any Other Hobbies Other Than Falling Timber and Working on Saws?

[a. palmer jr.]

I bought my first one new in 1994.I paid 499 for it.I doubt that is ever gonna happen again.Lucky for you the 44 mags are cheaper than the 45 LCs.

I wish I bought a King Cobra too.those are nice.Hard to beat the actions on a Colt double action.

Troopers are nice too and reasonably priced if you look around.

When I was looking the Anacondas were going for $350..I paid around $320 for my King Cobra if I remember correctly. If I'd bought the Anaconda it probably would be worth in the neighborhood of $800 right now, maybe more. I'm not collecting guns any more, decided it's too expensive to pursue that hobby.

I wish I could collect them but my cash flow won't let me.

I love shooting and just handling the ones I have. Love reloading the bullets and tinkering with different loads. I figure I can just lay one away every now and then and pay a little on it at a time and one day it'll be mine. Then, on to the next one.

Talking about Ruger falling block actoins,this one is a custom .17 Ackley Hornet,witch i got put together years ago when the fox skins we worth big money.The scope mounts i made at work out of stainless (couldn't bye anything to fit) the barrel is 26 1/2'' long Shilen.

Gorgeous piece of wood on that one.

I'm sitting here scratching, thinking about the fleas coming off those bunnies.
Maybe they don't have 'em like they do here ? I only ever shot one once, with a bow and arrow.
I went to retrieve it and it was crawling with fleas. I unscrewed my broadhead and shook the rabbit off
and left it. No way was I bringing that home. I've since heard the fleas will be gone soon after the host is deceased,
but I think I'll just not shoot any bunnies unless in dire need of meat.

Stihlman:

That's a nice rifle. I bet it will drive nails eh?

The no.1 actions are pretty strong. They make a varmint variation from the factory also. But it don't have a Shilen barrel!

You have the gun collection I dream about.

Is that the wood that came original on the #1?

Yes I do, been a bit side tracked with it lately too...

I like the watches man.

I broke down and bought me a nice watch finally. I think everybody needs one awesomr watch to wear out and things.

I got a Citizen Eco Drive. It has the perpetual calander. Costed like 300 bucks on sale.

I had a friend who was in Iraq right after the 9/11 attack. He came back with a pile of jewelry, diamonds, gold, and 4 Rolex watches!

They had been moving thru different towns on a path toward Baghdad and he said they looted jewelry stores and anything else they could loot.

I think he sold them all but one and all the jewelry except a 1 1/2 carot ingagement ring of which he gave his ole lady, telling her he bought it.

The Rolex's were really nice. But two of them had broken bands. He said the got a price of over 100 bucks just to fix the band on one watch.:jawdrop:

Stihlman, nice walnut in your #1. The briar in my 1951 Beretta side-lock came from down your way.

My 45/70 is next.

Then my Sharps.

VERY sexy rifle you've got there!

[Stihlman441]

The wood work was done by Jeff Slee and the metal work except scope mounts by Peter Schwarz in Bannockburn.

Heres an old picture of me during hunting season. And no my finger is not on the trigger it is behind the guard.

 

[caotropheus]

Since I am happily married for about 1500 years and the children are getting bigger by the day, I have too many hobbies.

Running, cycling and dogs are sacred and regular, beside that I am bit of "Wall-E". Chainsaws, "mechanical hand operated everyday life machines" like watches and clocks, scales, sewing machines, type writers, clipper machines and such.

Why do you have to be so far away? I probably have a bunch of stuff you want....

Very nice! Is the Sharps an original. I've got a couple of Shiloh Sharps. Looks like you might be into Schutzen rifles as well.

 

[Eccentric]

Looks like he's a Black PowderCartridge Rifle Silhouette shooter. The Sharps looks like a Pedersoli to me. That's a nice Remington rolling block too. Dig the Ruger #1 as well. I'm guessing it and the rolling block are both chambered in .45/70. I passed up a mint .45/70 #1 for $400 on the used rack of the local shop about five years ago.......and have been kicking myself daily since...:censored:

 

[RandyMac]

A friend of mine made this for Annie, chambered for and proofed with the 357 Maximum, we shoot 38 Specials in it.
