Random Gun Pics...let’s see how random we can make it

Not only a “random gun” pic, but one I thought was pretty neat. Found this in a box of my grandpas stuff from when he passed, the man kneeling in the middle is my great grandfather. If anyone can ID the guns, let me know!View attachment 1031449View attachment 1031449
The rifle is tough, but If I had to guess, Id say a Model 1906 Winchester pump .22.

The handgun is almost certainly a Smith and Wesson large-frame top-break.

Great pic, love the guy chugging and the shaggy chaps.

Sorry, no idea as to the guns.

Any idea where it was taken?

Como Bluff, between Rock River and Medicine Bow in Wyoming. My great grandpa homesteaded there, ran one of the largest sheep operations in the west from there, and in his later years (1930’s), he built the Fossil Cabin. Look it up on google if you’ve never heard of it, it’s pretty interesting.

Thanks, looked it up, very interesting.

Also be interesting to know what was in the barrel your relative was pouring from.
 
I went to my regular FFL to pick up a Gen 3 Glock 17 frame Cerakoted in FDE when they pulled yet another classic out. They were able to pick up recently…an all original AR-17 12 gauge in the “golden gun” color scheme.

I’ve read they only made 1,200 or so in the mid 1960’s and this one is almost pristine. No real scratches or visible wear on any metal or plastic parts, the stock and forend are not cracked or dinged, the original full choke stil screws on and off with little effort.

I have no idea how these two find the stuff they do, but it’s really cool when I drop by and they’ve got something else I’ll appreciate seeing! :thumbup:

Stay safe.
 
I always thought they'd be a great pheasant gun. Surprisingly, for as few as were made, they aren't that expensive.
I believe they picked this up for under 800 bucks from another retailer who had it on consignment. The other shop was so unfamiliar with it they couldn’t find the serial number (it takes unscrewing the forend nut and sliding the forend forward a couple of inches to reveal the number).

It is a bit like swinging a big fishing pole because there was zero weight in this guns stock and overall it weighs five and a half pounds or so. Sudden birds would be fun to track, and that light weight means you could carry this all day afield, but even with its long recoil type action delaying some of the impulse I bet it kicks pretty well with stout loads :eek:.

Another cool gun they pulled out of the woodwork. :thumbup:

Stay safe.
