    Thumbs up Gun Day, Fun Day.

    Rainy and dreary today so thought perhaps we could have some gun fun and post some pics. Newest, best, worst, cheapest, best deal, etc., what ever you want to share.

    I’ll start off with some I haven’t got to shoot yet.

    Argentine Hi-Power, NIB from the 1980’s.




    S&W Model 38, 5 shot J frame (bottom) and a round butt Model 10-5, 6 shot K frame. Neither is mint but the price was right on both. I think they’ll make a nice CCW combo.



    Star PD in 45 ACP. This model has been on my bucket list for years and I finally found one locally that was priced well and wasn’t thrashed or neglected.



    Swiss pattern Luger (my first) in .30 Luger. Made by Mauser back in the 70’s if I recall correctly.

    We had a Marlin growing up. As I recall it was the shorter, carbine M39A?

    I know the 30A's came out a few years after the one I have
    Didn't know about the barrel length

    Here's one I'd like to have. I posted it a few years ago trying to get info for the guy that has it



    It was found in the river not far from me
    I doubt I'll ever see it again but it would be cool to have
    I'm just going through a few pic's I already have so here's a Wingmaster I came across at a pawn shop



    I believe it's a 28" barrel and runs really smooth hasn't been abused at all
    Just wish, as with all of mine, that I'd get a little more use out of it

    I know what you mean about getting more use out of them.


    I’m a huge fan of the 870 WM!

    My wife bought this one for Xmas probably 25 years ago from some ad in the Thrifty Nickle. It came with a 30” FC, VR barrel. I picked up this 18” barrel at an auction years later for $50. Last year I put it on along with the mag tube extension. Sine this photo was taken I’ve also added a bracket between the barrel and the mag extension. It supports the extension and provides a sling swivel.
