Misfire

 

[plainsdrifter]

My last purchase, Took me a couple months to put it all together because an SFAR deserves great glass, best I could afford. Bipods need some black paint. It's all I could get at the time b4 last Christmas. I did build the last AR up against the safe in my last post.

We need a trapdoor carbine picture !!!

A couple of fun shooters

Left to right: Cadet Martini 218 Bee, Stevens Tip Up 32 S&W long,
Remington model 25 in 25-20

 

[KnightHawk]

That Stevens Tip Up 32 S&W Long is a gas to shoot.
Premier soda can and golf ball rolling rifle. Carries great at about 4 pounds

This is a picture of my favorite carbine but it is not mine as it is too plain. Winchester 1907 .351 Self Loading.

Two of the three are carbines in my book. Three Remingtons, two 660’s and one 600.


Top is a rifle with a 24” rebarreled and chambered in 260 Remington.
The middle rifle even though it has a 22 inch barrel. The reason I consider it a carbine is I built this rifle to replace my custom 458 Winchester magnum which was 46” over all and 11 pounds with the mag full. Very unwieldy in tight brush. I was on a Brown Bear hunt guiding my Father and a tight situation presented itself, fortunately things turned out good, but, could as I was having lots of trouble bringing my rifle to where I could possibly use it.
I made the decision to sell this unwieldy rifle and build something that would be a good Bear Stopper in a reasonable size package.
So middle rifle was rebarreled from a Remington 660 in 6.5 magnum to a 458 X 2
39” 7pounds 9 oz with the scope. First scope was a 1x4 Leupold which has been changed out for a Leupold VX 6 - 1x6 30mm tube. Look at it as a hot belted 45-70.
Bottom carbine is a Remington 600 in 308 with a compact Leupold 3x9. I think the barrel is 16” but might be 18. It’s a shorty for sure.

An ancient Quik-Pic of my Favorite since I built it 20 years ago. I chopped & re-crowned (11°) the barrel and then opened the gas port, a little at a time, until I found the sweet spot.

A solid, accurate hard-hitting little rifle.

One of my favorites as well, but she gets mighty heavy after a bit. Looking at an African safari with my oldest brother and this was my first choice. However, my old achy body is needing a shorter, lighter rifle. The Ruger American Ranch looks promising.

I have loved the gaudy little 600 for decades! But they aren't within my price range, sort of like the Ruger .44 carbine.

Oh, yeah!

I must confess that most of my walkabout rifles are initially selected to provide me with a workout rather than as a shooter.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Hey Pat, what is that bright metal (and the muzzle extension as well) on the front of your PC?
What caliber is it, and where might I find a ?muzzle brake? like that?

Two for now.
AIA 7.62 x 39 carbine, with and without the add on cheek piece and scope.

Wow, never heard of he AIA M10 before this. Great, now another rare and expensive oddball that I want......

 

[Reloadron]

The upper a Ruger 44 Mag and the lower a 444 Marlin.

We need a trapdoor carbine picture !!!

Your wish is granted.

Here’s a couple of my favorite carbines. The first one is a Spanish M1895 cavalry carbine. You can barely make out the saddle ring on the bottom, not the best photo I ever took. This one has been rebarreled for .308 (stamped as such underneath the top wood) at some point in its life. A pity since its otherwise original, but with 7.62x51 it’s a fun shooter.

The second one is an original Trapdoor Carbine, one of 501 produced in 1881. This one was a happy surprise. The bore looked rough, I mean, really rough, so I lowballed (it’s not like these grow on trees, I still wanted it) and the shop took my offer. When I got it home I decided to see if anything could be done, and to my wonder, what I was seeing wasn’t rust, but old grease and dust. She’s clean as a whistle! There are a few dings and nicks in the wood and the rear sight spring is broken but other than that she’s ready for her next campaign.

A pair of bolt action carbines, both are 6.5's

Is the top rifle an RSI?

 

[CapnMac]

Hmm, Carbines (Inland '44)

Carbine (Saginaw '45) & bayonet

And Colt

I ought get the Marlin Camp45 out, as it for sure is a PCC

 

[JFrame]

Sadly, at the moment, I only have two -- but I am really hot to get a semiauto PCC...

Winchester '94 Trapper chambered in .357 (shown with some compatible handguns)


T/C Contender with .44 WMR barrel (because the chamber counts as part of the barrel length, it gives the carbine an extremely short OAL)

 

[forward observer]

Here's my present favorite carbine. It's a 5th model Burnside with a serial number among a group issued to a Yankee Texas cavalry regiment.

I bet it's the only carbine posted that shoots ice creme cone shaped cartridges.

Cheers

 

[PistoleroWadcutterGANG]

Fantastic pics F.O. ty for posting

 

[plainsdrifter]

Ok then. How about my Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB 30-06 Nitro with mannlicher stock. Does it qualify as a carbine? Maybe not but it is the perfect size and lightweight barrel.

 

[tws3b2]

The Winchester is my favorite.
