The 1st is a Marlin 1895 Cowboy that I restocked. Real nice shooting gun in 45/70. This was my 1st attempt at this kind of work. I started with a stock blank that was 90% inletted. I spent many hours behind the file and sandpaper. I removed much wood from the forend to give it a more classic appearance

The 2nd is a Ruger No 1 that was completely reworked by my brother. Originally a 45/70 also the new barrel is chambered in 30 wcf. The stock was refit and refinished. The action smoothed out and color case hardened. He made a new rib to fit the contour of the bigger barrel. He also did all the engraving and gold work.

Thanks for looking,

Mitch

Love that color case hardening on long guns.

I'm crazy about the Marlin. Let me know if it needs a caretaker ;)

I had a Ruger no. 3 in 45-70 for a long time. That caliber is a lot of fun to shoot, but I guess I didn't find it all that practical in daily life, except for the Jeremiah Johnson fantasies.

To tell you the truth I've been slowing looking for a winchester 1906 (take down) for plinking. For many yrs. I shot .22 after school twice a week and in boy scouts had access to a 1906. What an awesome fun gun.

A Winchester 62A is a fun plinker take-down rifle. I still have mine that was given to me on my twelfth birthday (about a 100 years ago!)

I also really like the case colors on the Ruger. Who did the restoration?

Last week I purchased a shotgun from a dealer in Texas; it should be to my gunsmith this Thursday.

While my hands didn't make it, lots of handwork went into it at a smallscale Italian production facility (Vincenzo Bernardelli). Here's a bad picture of the action to suffice until I can take a better one later this week.

Neat. Think I'd be happy with that? I might change directions. I was raised by peaceniks, no guns allowed in the house!

I have one of the Browning 22 semi-auto rifles. It has fancy scrollwork, it's tiny and accurate, and takes down small enough to pack in small panniers for plinking/training rides, ha ha, which I've actually been stupid enough to do a couple of times.

That Ruger is beautiful! I have a No. 1B in 7 mag that is my one and only for deer and elk. Takes a lot of love to keep it nice in the Oregon fall and winter. Heres a picture of an ad that hangs by my desk. Its from a 1967 magazine.

Both of those Rifles are lovely.

I love case hardened guns, both the #1 Ruger and the SxS are really good looking.

I recently became caretaker of a Marlin 1895 in 45/70. A 405 grain bullet is a lot of how ya doin.

I have a .22 waiting for me in Dad's gun case, and a wife that wants no guns in the house. Is "I just want to go to the range once in a while" going to work?

[Too Tall]

Haha, that prob. won't fly. When I was growing up there was a strict no tolerance policy in the house...no guns dot period. I had to borrow a rifle from whatever club I was competing at and if they had nothing to loan I had to arrange for an friend to meet me with a rifle. Some folks can't get comfortable with a gun in the house no matter what. I respect that and we both know there is no price to high to pay for peace in the house ;)

I didn't know what it was, so I look it up. I bet you would find it too small to hold comfortably.

I learned how to shoot with a Winchester 52, which is a single shot bolt action. Pretty big and heavy for a .22, but super accurate. Look for one of those if you want to shoot .22.

Good call. I was a sponsored shooter for the (gulp) NRA when I was a kid and the downtown DC club had a rack of those and ancient anschutz. I recall those monsters were alot to hold for a young spindly arm kid. We used a heavy leather strap and I'd wear my dads blue jeans jacket to beef up my skinny body!!! My arms would go numb regardless. hahaha that's a neat rifle but I really would get bored plinking one shot at a time.

.....but I really would get bored plinking one shot at a time.

Then here you go....14 shot tubular mag in the stock. It was a "revolutionary" gun in the 60's and waaaay fun to shoot. A collectors gun today but enough shooters out there to play with.

I'm not a collector type and all my guns are battered 'working' types but I do own a new/unfired Nylon 666, black with chrome receiver and barrel like this one.

Look into a Ruger 10/22 if you want to pull the loud switch a little more often. Relatively inexpensive and very customizable. You may have to experiment with ammo to get something that feeds consistently, though.
