    Ever Clean Out Your Safe...

    ...and find guns you forgot you have?

    Tucked way in the back were a Colt New Service with a S/N that dates it at 1925, and a no-dash S&W model 48 from 1959. The Colt is .45 LC and the S&W is 22 mag.

    Time to head to the range!

      I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.

        Only like 1x. I have over 300 guns so it was bound to happen. I had to sit down and think about where it came from. On most my guns I know approximately what year I bought them and what I paid and where I bought it.

        I have totally forgotten about some ammo purchases as well. I have found little stashes here and there I forgot about.

            Obviously you have too much stuff, let me come over and clean out a few.

            Good find(?) OP!

              I wish I had enough of a collection to lose track of a couple! Maybe some day!

                I wish my safe magically produced guns without my knowledge, like yours. Nice little find. Never found a mystery gone, but I did manage to find a can full of .22 ammo that I purchased back when you could walk into any Walmart and just buy the ammo.

                        That must be an extremely early model 48 as I think the 22mag cartridge was introduced the same year. Grips appear to be of a later vintage. Nice gun I rarely come across them I'd like a 4 or 6 inch one.

                              If anyone finds a mystery gun in their safe, it was probably stashed there by a robber and thus evidence in a case. You can send them to me for proper evidence tagging and storage
