Because I promised you better photos…

I did promise better photos when the daylight came, and so here without further drama is a little gun pron for you.

    Nice! I would like to get with a few of those lovely ladies! My collection is getting better… I’ll be sure to send some gun porn your way later in the week.

    Hey Mon,

    Nice collection! The Springfield is a beauty - especially with that pig sticker on the front of it.

    Just got my Winchester M94 Trapper Carbine last week and to top it off, Connie surprised me with a Marlin “Papoose” .22 Takedown Rifle for our 10th. anniversary so I got two new toys in the space of a week.

    Side by side, they’re almost the same length as each other. I’ll send you a few pics through e-mail.

    I’m finally adding some “Brand-name” toys to my collection! Enough with that Norinco stuff — then again, I actually only have 2 Norinco’s (.45 & SKS). With all the modifications I’m sending the .45 in for, it’ll soon be only a Norinco by frame.

    Lever has added a bunch of new stuff to their inventory and they seem to have a deal now with Dlask to market some of their stuff such as all the aftermarket stuff for AR-15/M-4 items.

    Actually, all the “toy” stores are adding to their inventory.

    Reliable Gun & Tackle have expanded their handgun line as has Lever. Italian Sporting Goods is now in a bigger store over on Renfrew Street and carry quite a bit more than they used to.

    Let me know when the next mail-in Carbine Contest is. Can’t wait to get out and see how my .30-30 lever-gun works. The Marlin is, of course, just nifty and definitely does not compare to a kick in the teeth with a frozen Mukluk! *GRIN*

    Nice additions to the collection Patrick, send along some pics as soon as you get a chance.

    Hardly think it’s fair that the gun stores are expanding their inventory, I’m still sitting here in a relative gunstore void, relying on CGN for my new bits and bobs.

    I fondly remember just going to Lever to wander around and admire the gun bits…

    I don’t really have a convenient substitute here, no where to gun loiter.

    -sigh-

    Nothing wrong with the Norincos, My M14s and SKS-D are two of my favorite rifles, and the prices are hard to beat.
