My old collection

[GSequoia]

Well so far the newest gun I have was built in 1939 (Technically I own a brand spanking new Ruger .22 but I won't get that 'til Sunday). Figured I'd post up some pictures and descriptions for you all.

All of these guns came from my grandfather. There should be two more as well but we haven't been able to find them.

Colt 1903.

.32 Caliber Pocket Pistol
Very nice shape and shoots well, just not too accurately (3.75" barrel)
Built in 1922


Wards Western Field 47a (Mossberg 45A rebranded)
.22 tube fed bolt action rifle with 4x optical scope
Beautiful aftermarket wooden stock.
Built in 1937 or 1938.


Winchester Model 94
.30-30 tube fed lever action rifle with closed sights.
Built in 1939.


Remington Model 33
.22 single shot bolt action rifle.
Built in 1934 or 1935


So... That's them.

OOOOOOh, YUM! This is what I look like when I am envious! Better still that they are functional.

Is it just me, or are bolt-action .22 a serious bit of fun?

Thanks for posting

I have a Colt 1903 -DOB 1917. There is a Smith in San Fernado Valley that does custom work on them. PM me if you want his contact info.

As opposed to.... ?

I'll probably take the .22's and .32 down to the range tomorrow if I get time, got them cleaned up (internally) and ready to fire.

All I gotta do now is figure out just what I want to do with these, particularly the 94 (meaning just how much I want to clean them up, etc).

What kind of custom work are you referring to? At this point the only thing I can think of that I need is a minor barrel crowning job on the original barrel (right now I'm using a secondary barrel, while it works fine the original fits better).
