Not being a 100% collector anymore I have learned however not to pass up a chance to buy a rare gun when someone is waving something at my nose.
Here is a nice highnumbered 1892 trapper in .44WCF with a 14" barrel.
The owner lives here in Denmark and is familiar that these guns are very very...
My friend Leo & I went some funshooting here yesterday in his plantation where he had set up a little range.

Nice short rifle for the woodsman. Very rare caliber. Never seen/heard of a Mauser model 66 in that caliber before(normally it is the Remington 66 Mohawk it is found). The seller does ship international in case anyone might be interested.

My Lilja barreled M70 is over-the-hill. Barrel no good any more. I have had a new barrel made up in .270weatherby again and now have second thoughts. The barrel is reamed already in .270wea and I am thinking to have it "cleaned out" with a .27Nosler reamer in that frail hope the .27Nosler case...

I have handled many Mauser66 in time but never fired one. I have had the itch for a 6,5x68Schüler for many years but never could find the platform for this cartridge. The Mauser66 was...
Hey Guys.
I am of to SouthAfrica tomorrow in the small hope to hunt a female Buffalo...with perhaps eland & Kudu in kalahari. I haven´t yet seen the conditions the female Buffalo can be hunted in but if the conditions are good where the terrain is difficult and the animals are wild I will take...

A nice highnumbered 1Gen Colt SA in .45cal.
I know it´s not a pre-custer period blackpowder gun with a lot of history...more or less a new gun. I do get soft in my knee when they pop up here and there. I had a few of them from time to...
