I have Collectibles for guns and a collection of cut glass. Have had 2 claims for glass (darned earthquakes). You fill out the claim form, send it, along with the valuation (receipt, comparables, etc.) and pictures to them. In a couple weeks they send a check. Good folks.

I'm OK with manual tools: hammer, punch, file, etc. Give a power tool (any sort) and my wife considers me a weapon of mass destruction.

Ammo would be nice.

Here is one my Dad and I made back in the 1980s (not a kit).

Well let's see here. Old School HD firearms we keep ready: Me Win 94 in 30 WCF 1911 in .45 ACP Wife 20 ga Stoeger Coach Gun with #3 Buckshot (don't mess with her...) S&W Model 36 in .38 Special

That's what makes it the Evergreen State - the green isn't trees, it's moss and mildew. It does rain here - but almost none since June this year...

Flintlock - definitely.

My Henry Frontier shoots very well. Have fun. Only suggestion is not to work the action slowly. They work best when cycled smartly.

My wife says, 'Maybe next year.'

Here's my old flinter: And a Ruger No. 1

45 ACP - gone...

Yes, I've shot it and it's fun, but finding ammo (#5 Rook) is difficult.

I have a Holland and Holland Rook Rifle #5 (think .360 plinker) that was my father's, living in my gunsafe. Not one of their awsome shotguns or double rifles, but the workmanship is incredible. He picked it up in a pawnshop in the '70s for $100.

Ruger No. 1 from 1976 in 7mm Rem Mag for $200 about 6 months ago.

Because they are pretty, they are good practice in place of larger caliber snub, they are fun, they are inexpensive to shoot... S&W M34-1 .22 LR S&W M36 .38 Special
