What do I win?

:D
 
What is that? Random old parts cobbled together?
:D

A guy we built a house for had a bunch of obscure old guns,including a little .22 Short pepperbox. This thing was freakin' tiny.
 
Ian, pretty much.

Actually a SKS is simply a scaled down version of the PTRS-41.
 
We had a collection of walking stick/cane guns,they became illegal years back.My father in law cut them into pieces in front of the police when they came to collect them...English history lost...
 
What peculiar

One of those K-tek folding carbines.It was a .40 cal, I put a scope on it with a bi-pod,and different stock,it looked like something from Star Wars. And then one day at the range it broke in two at the receiver:,---no kidding:barf:. Got rid of it and got a Ruger PC4, -----much better.
 
Davera posted: I will potentially get a Winchester Model 99 Thumb Trigger .22 rifle...

I suspect that may have been what my maternal Grandfather had, but all I know for sure is that it was a thumb trigger .22rf.

I also have a friend that has a single shot .22rf pistol that looks like a single action revolver, including mock bullets in the faux cylinder but the make and model escapes me.
 
Not that rare but my buddy has a Iver Johnson revolver in .38sw short. Its an odd caliber I have never seen. He hates finding ammo for it.
 
I have a Savage 101 single-shot pistol. It looks like a Ruger Bearcat, but the barrel and "cylinder" swing out to the right so that the single chamber can be loaded/unloaded. Not too many made.
 
Well, earlier in the thread I promised pics as soon as I got her, so here they are:

SteyrAUG, I have two questions:

1) Where did you find that? Dig it out of a field in Belarus?

2) Does it still fire?


Can't imagine the cost of 14.5x114mm ammo. Even if you reloaded, the cost of the brass and bullets must be staggering. Bet that thing shuts everyone else up at the range. Wow.
 
My father got a Dutch revolver in a trade. It was supposedly 10.4 mm.
We found one shell for it. Eventually, he horse traded it for something else.

You'd be surpsrised at some of the stuff that comes up for sale from time to time.

It fires. Ammo isn't cheap.
 
The closest thing to unique would be my Costa Mesa AR18

I do believe that there were only 1400 of these made.
