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

I really want to try my hand at putting together a black powder kit.

I have wanted to do a small bore flintlock but that blunderbuss is pretty darn cool!


Thanks, it was pretty straightforward. Minimal carving and fitting, everything else was artistic interpretation. Definitely a satisfying project. I highly recommend giving it a go.

I keep looking at your pics :), this thing "speaks to me" for some reason.

Did you use a torch to darken the wood before staining?
 
Then and now.

Russian Makarov: the classic military version.

Don't be distracted by Paulina Andreeva - I don't know How to exclude her in this photo.

She was exploited so that people might notice possibly the most reliable semi-auto handgun ever manufactured.

My brother has an East German Makarov and it's overall fit and finish at that time, rivaled that of contemporary U.S. manufacturers, like S&W and Ruger.
 
jar : No Way! o_O How Schlimm are the odds?!

I also have the Sauer 38H, but the decocking spring can’t be kept working (by a seasoned gunsmith here). .. otherwise 100 percent reliable.

Very nifty gun and so appealing.:cool:

If we exclude the muzzle energy, and my sprang issue (well, 77 year-old Gun), it would be my Namba Wan handgun.:)

the coffee has kicked in…my other “Zig- Zire” is the true commercial P225, proofed near the Kiel U-Boat ‘pens’.

Take a look yourself at that spring. Buy a handful of them, they're cheap and I bet YOU can get it right.

I also have one that had a really short service life. It was made in 1942 and captured in North Africa or Italy in '44.
