    Thumbs up Some recent additions to the armory

    Finally got my photo hosting situation straightened out so thought I'd post a few pics of some of my more recent additions.

    Winchester Model 1895 takedown in 30.06.








    Sig M11-A1 9x19





    Sig 556 Classic

    I see your photos came from photobucket. I thought they started charging a pretty hefty fee to belong now.... I haven't gone back since I heard this.

    What's the status there now?

    They came to their senses. You can sign up for $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year.

    Thanks. I haven't done a lot of research on the 1895 so I don't know if all of the ones they made in this run were case hardened or not? Pretty sure they did my rifle in 30.06, another rifle in .405 and a carbine in 30-40 but don't know if their were different versions of them all?

    Nice rifle!!! Love that 1895, and looks like you got an extra nice one.

    Ditto to the 1895 comments. The Case color Hardening is my favorite finish on a classic rifle.

    Cool pictures! I may have to spring for the photobucket money. Can you retrieve your old pictures?

    I will have to do that. Thank you Richard. Some nice looking new additions you have there! I too recently stumbled into some things. Not much to brag about. But would be nice to be able to post pictures again.
