Thread: What guns do you own?

I don't know how to add those pictures into the text block. So I'll just tell you about some of them.

I still own a DWM Luger Artillery with 32 shot snail drum magazine AND the loading tool for the magazine. I have the holster with cleaning rod and field stripping tool. I do not have the leather for the snail drum nor do I have the shoulder stock (which is now legal to own along with the gun).

My main target piece is a Colt .45 National Match with Eliason sights. Very nice low-profile sites and I carry with me in the desert as an anti-sidewinder tool.

For quick home defense I have a Stainless Steel Ruger double action Bi-Centennial revolver in .357 Magnum.

My wife uses a Winchester Model 97 12 gauge Riot gun. Gives her a bit of an edge as she can't shoot as well as either her sister or I can.

My biggie that I carry when I visit the land I own in Oregon is a Ruger Single Action Blackhawk with adjustable sights in .41 Magnum. That'll take care of any Black Bear that wants to argue who's name is on the deed. Don't know if it will stop a Big Foot though. Haven't seen one -- yet though I think one was watching me one day. Well, SOMETHING was watching me and I was thankful that the Ruger filled my hand very well.

In the cab of my truck, on that day, was my backup. An M-1 Garand made in April of 1941 with the milled trigger guard, first generation adjustable sights etc. by Springfield Armory. I have one more Garand that was made around the Korean War era with the stamped trigger guard and later issued "Battle Sights".

For big bore target shooting and hunting I used (and still have) an 03-A3 Springfield still in military built in 1943 by Remington.

For medium game I used a pre-64 model 94 Winchester in .30-30.

I still have my grandfather's first rifle which is a Stevens "Crack-Shot" .22 rolling block with SIDE LEVER instead of the more common trigger guard lever.

I also have the .22 Remington pump rifle my grandfather gave to my grandmother with their wedding date inscribed on the receiver.

There's a couple of others not really worth mentioning like the Iver Johnson .32 closed hammer my grandmother carried in her purse. She switched to that as she got into her 70's because recoil of .38s was a little hard on her arthritus. She always liked the .32 as she once used one to convince a home burglar that Norwalk, Wisconsin no longer appreciated his presence. She only fired a shotgun once. It was a 12 gauge double barrel and was tricked by some "friends" into pulling both triggers at once. After she crawled out of the mud puddle the recoil knocked her into, she grabbed that gun by the barrels and took off after her "friends" swinging it like a baseball bat.

Pay special attention to all the locks he has on his SKSs, yet most of his auto stuff are not locked.
