Who was it said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"? Lovely collection! :D

[C.R.Sam]

Seems I remember you doin your gun pics with a scanner.

If you still doin em that way.....
I definately want your scanner.:D

And my Smiths want to meet your Smiths.:)

May not be able to do this pic too many more times...

...already need a stepladder.
That isn't the sort of Tamarism I like to hear.

Cushioned hooks + wall = problem solved

But can you carry them all?

[Schuey2002]

Now I really want a new wheelgun.. :o

[As I wipe slobber off my keyboard]

Nice collection, Tamara.

(I'm such an fool.. What was I thinking? Like I could really stop by this thread and not get the Joneses..) :o :o :uhoh:

[sm]

Tamara,
Very Nice Collection, thank you for sharing.

Time for a real ladder and bigger Towel methinks.

[Gewehr98]

That N-frame .38-44 found it's way into Tamara's collection after all.

Darn. Thought he was my buddy. :(

[SnWnMe]

Heya Miss Tamara, can you please point me to the source of your N frame Tyler Grip adapter? Maybe you have one you're willing to part with?

[Chip00]

I am counting 29 revolvers. And I saw your autoloader photo too.

I can see the Knoxville Sentinel headlines:

Small Arsenal Found in Home of Suspected Terrorist.
Story by Cas Walker and Reverend Mull

Authorities speculate on evil intentions.
"Why else would someone have such a collection?" asked
the un-named government official.
"She was pretending to be an EMT to gain access thru police
roadblocks" he said. "They all come here and get that
training without valid visas. I will bet she never goes in public
unarmed and probably carries an American made Springfield to
fool us".
To be continued....

:D :neener:

[BigG]

Do you face towards Springfield when you pray? :neener: Nice collection! However, you need a long tom in there, too. It's for the children. :)

[JPM70535]

I don't often comment on anyone's collection, however yours is without a doubt the finest I think I have seen outside of a firearms factory. My only questions are how do you find the time to wipe them down every day, and how many safes does it take to house them?

[Quantrill]

Where is that 44-40 from Texas?? Quantrill

[coop57]

I suffer from REVOVLER LUST. I feel so inadequate with only 3 revolvers in my tiny collection. Mine is so small.

[Kalindras]

I would SO hate you, Tamara...BUT I CAN'T...!!! <SOB!>

They're just so pretty...so very, very pretty...<sniff!>

We'll just sits us over here and admire its pictures...won't we, my Precioussssss?

:D

[ruger357]

All I can say is WOW.

[Tamara]

Where is that 44-40 from Texas?? Quantrill

Second from the top, far right; Model 544. :)

[Quantrill]

Ah hah! I remember that you posted a picture of that at the time (earlier this year?) and I thought that it was something neat that I would have bought. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. Very nice collection. I hope you shoot them all and enjoy heck out of it. Quantrill

[BigG]

How many calibers do you stock? ;)

[Standing Wolf]

Impressive!

[P95Carry]

A joy to behold ... thx Tams for the update pic ... i know you'd said the ''old one'' was outa date!

I have taken the liberty of tweaking that pic a bit - hope you'll excuse ... it had some rather dark corners and was a tad large ... scrolls off a lot ... anyways .. here it is again so all can be seen at once more easily.

Second from top on right column .... looks very much like a 5" M-27 .... yeah? Or just a 4".

[Tamara]

How many calibers do you stock? ;)

Thirty-three for guns I have; a few more for guns I don't. :cool:

[Tamara]

Sorry! :o

(Ever since I started running a 19" monitor @ 1280x960, I've been bad about remembering to keep piccie sizes reasonable. Thanx for the reminder! D'oh! :o My other computer is running a 17" tube @ 1024x768, which helps enforce more reasonable picture sizes; I should probably use it more... :uhoh: )

(Second from top on right is a Model 544; the "Texas Wagon Train Commemorative" N-frame in .44-40, aka the Model 544. :cool: )

[P95Carry]

[clin4580]

Impressive toys, when can I come over to play?:D

[Benjamin]

Is anyone else getting shades of The Matrix, with smiths taking over as far as the eye can see?

[Brian Williams]

[off screen Voice]
"what do you need Tamara"

[/off screen Voice]

"I need Smiths, lots of Smiths"



:D

[tex_n_cal]

What, no Schofeld replica?
:evil:

[Litlman]

Tamara , I have a couple J,N and K frames. One question. How do I get them to breed like that??? Also, on a different note. Any suggestions on how to multipy knives would be nice. Thanks and enjoy.

[BigG]

{I stock} Thirty-three {calibers} for guns I have; a few more for guns I don't. :cool:

You know, that's a common problem. I just found two boxes of 38 Super Plus P I didn't know I still had. Guess I've got to shop for another Colt. :rolleyes: :evil:

[AJ Dual]

As far as the pic is concerned, it looks like Tamara has room for at least 3 more revolvers...

[Brasso]

Will you marry me?:D

[Frohickey]

Couldn't you set up a gurney and pulley system? Hook up a gurney at the structural member of the ceiling on a pulley system. Have a few friends hoist you up while you take the picture. ;)

[P95Carry]

How do I get them to breed like that??? Tams ..... Litlman asked that .. and got me to thinkin ..... if I were to raise the temp in my safe .. do ya think that might get the breeding going??

Wondering too which gun oil they all like .. I mean, I want them to be attracted and .... well ..... get on with it.!:p

Damn ... it'd feel good to be a Dad again, even when this old!:D

[Tamara]

How do I get them to breed like that???

Keep the safe dimly lit, and play lots of Barry White tunes. ;)

[Hkmp5sd]

...already need a stepladder.
You can always lay them on the driveway and stand on the roof! :)

Of course, by next year you'll have to lay them on the driveway and rent a helicopter

[Skunkabilly]

That's it? I thought you had more :scrutiny:

[Schuey2002]

It looks like she could use new area rug as that towel seems to be getting smaller and smaller.. :uhoh:

[P95Carry]

Keep the safe dimly lit, and play lots of Barry White tunes. EUREKA!! That's it ... all this time and I have left them in the dark ... thinkin it would appeal to their sense of ''decorum''!!

Not so sure about the Barry White tho ... my pieces have more modern tastes I think. still ...... if it works for you Tams! ..........................:evil: :p

[Gewehr98]

Keep the safe dimly lit, and play lots of Barry White tunes.

Oooh.... Barry!

I got a couple Garands that have been somewhat bashful in their mating techniques. Wonder if the Swedish Mausers would appreciate the same mood lighting and music, too? :D

[joe4702]

Damn, the women I meet only collect shoes and clothes.
Please donate your DNA for cloning research.

Nice collection!

[Litlman]

Barry RULES!!!!

[rugerfreak]

Exess=success----or is it the other way around?????


Anyway---nice collection of the metalsmith's art.

[Preacherman]

Wonder if the Swedish Mausers would appreciate the same mood lighting and music, too?Darin, I'm afraid Swedish Mausers only respond to Abba and Roxette...

:what: :neener: :p :D

[sm]

Revolvers, IIRC all Tamara is interested in old smiths. She has an inmpressive collection that's for sure. I appreciate her sharing the pics and knowledge of said wheels.
Well I've tried Dean Martin...guess Barry works AEB her collection.

Word is for her entire gun collection...aerial photograghy gonna be req'd.

Again, Thanks Tamara .

[rollerdave]

WOW, you have a lovely family of smiths there.

I only have two smiths, a j-frame I inherited from my late father and a bigger one I bought off a friend. The bigger one seems to have originally been an Orange County Ca sheriff's dept issue sidearm.

I'm going looking for this auto picture I keep hearing about.

Have fun, stay safe!

Roller

[zpo]

Shoot them(pics) in reasonable groups and photoshop them together. Theres also alot of empty space in that pic, try some creative packing.

[twoblink]

Tamara + rooftop + wide angle lens = 100+ more guns easily into the pic.:neener:

[P95Carry]

Tams, or anyone ..... IF you could have a S&W collection, including every model and variant - ever made ....... what sorta total number might we be looking at?

I'm guessing ... exactly several!!:p
