And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A collection is guns of varying calibres. If you have fifty guns and need fifty different kinds of ammunition, it is a collection. An arsenal is a bunch of the same guns with the same calibre. Pictured is a beautiful collection.
My pop left me his original Model 1982 in 38-40, not a spec of factory blue left on it used so well and long, bbl was shot out pretty good. What to do? Started checking things, really handy carbine, got a bbl blank from Douglas Barrel in .44 mag, which shares case rim sizes with 38-40, got the original barrel off, it was really on there, duplicated the factory threading and tenon, cut the chamber with a boring bar using the .44 mag SAMMI b/p, got the headspace right at .003, 11 degree muzzle crown, shoots like a dream, only rifle I use for deer hunting, in memory to my grandpop. Added a receiver mounted rear peep sight. Thinking the Steve McQueen style lever loop, better fit my big mitt.
I'll have the third from the bottom Thank You very much.
ReplyDeleteI see they have a Josh Randall 'Mare's Leg' model.
ReplyDeleteAll Henry's.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the 3rd from the top.
I'll take..... none. If it ain't magazine fed, it is a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteAll of them have tube magazines except for the top one that has some sort of box magazine.
DeleteThe top one looks like a Browning BLR
DeleteHenry fixed the Jap junk Browning BLR.

Lever heaven! I'm simple guy- color case hardened will do.

ReplyDeletePictured is a beautiful collection.
To get really pedantic, its an armory not an arsenal. An arsenal is the manufacturer of weapons, an armory is the storage of them.
DeleteWhat? No Winchesters, Marlins or Savages?
