That's a lotta glass for a .22. Whatcha gonna do with that?

Some reasonably serious target shooting. A lot more enjoyable with the cost of 22LR ammo

Reasonably serious I bet! I keep a large quantity of 22 on hand for fun.

Just purchased 2500 rounds @ $0.085 per the other day. This batch was CCI quiet rounds.

New Pistols Day.

Uberti 1872 Open Tops 4 3/4", 45 Colt.
They will be paired with the short rifle in post #272.

Nice!
I love anything that's been color case hardened.

 

[Colin1230]

I didn't get this for Christmas or my BD.
I guess some things you just have to do yourself.

Colt 1861 Navy by Uberti.

I needed it to pare with the 51 Navy.

Don't you just love the smell of FFFg.

 

[mr_whipple]

Sweet!

 

[Brokenhandle]

I agree! Beautiful guns!

I've got another one incoming. A Colt 1849 Pocket revolver, also Uberti made. Midway USA has dropped the prices on a number of their percussion revolvers. The 1849 Pocket included.

Uberti 1849 Pocket Black Powder Revolver 31 Cal 4 Barrel Steel Frame

One of the most popular compact revolvers of its time. This authentic reproduction is in 31 Caliber with a 4" octagon barrel, steel frame, brass...

Yes, but we used 4F back years ago. Used for parades and needed the better burn in the cannon and pistols. Blanks of course. Finally got the powder burn tattoo out of my forehead.

I use the sugar based smokeless in the hunting rifle.

I bought a Stevens 12g 320 pump yesterday. Good for critters out back.

Good choice Rick. That will be a great back door gun. What will you be loading it with, bird or buck shot?

Those ghost ring sights make for super fast target acquisition with both eyes open.
Nice choice.

Oh yeah I got all kinds of shells from when my hunting days with the boys. game loads, 00, sabots and I can hunt on my own property and the guy down the rd gave me permission to hunt and fish on his 600 acres...how awesome is that

 

[Colin1230]

Here is that 1849 Pocket pistol that I mentioned. It was pretty rough inside but I got it smoothed out and ready to shoot round balls.

Here it is with the 1861 Navy to show how much smaller it is.

One more to go and I'll be done buying percussion revolvers. An 1862 Police is next on the list. I really enjoy working on and shooting these Colt reproduction guns and Uberti makes some nice ones.

My old Game bit the dust.

So

Big fire on your houseboat, which then sank in 100 fathoms

It is amazing how many boating accidents involve firearms. I've lost a number of them myself
