Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rare Factory Guns.

Funny. I though this thread would generate more fine examples of nostalgic eye candy. I'll try to do my part This first one is a Savage 99K. Not so rare you say. I think this one is. It's a solid frame gun instead of a T/D. It was returned to the factory 6 months after shipment for unspecified work. The Savage historian's opinion is that it was converted at that time. The K was only catalogued as a T/D.



This is another that makes me very happy.
This is an 1895 Savage. It's a tough one to find let alone in this configuration. It is a barrel band saddle ring carbine.



And before I completely bore everyone. I have this 99H barrel band carbine that I bought from a close friend I met through the campfire. It is rare in that it is in .300 Sav. made only in 1940. The last year of the 99H production.

Here is a kind of rare handgun,its a Merwin-Hulbert in calibre winchester 1873, in other words 44-40 !

That is a beauty. I had forgotten you got that. "bout as good as it gets.

Thanks for sharing...

I had the IPSC Commemorative S&W 745 for awhile (think single-action M645 with a blued slide and Novak sights). I think they only made 2500 or so of them.

I shot the heck out of it.

Ya think......he hit a "walk" off. Nice stuff Shrap!

Heres one more a early deluxe model 1895 in 405 winchester with factory lettered pad, maybe not super rare but a nice rifle.

Reminds me of my latest project, a rare 7x57 CZ 550 FS, grey metal finish, butter knife handle.

Manufrance "Lunette" SxS. Rare 10 gauge configuration with reinforced wrist area typically only seen on the SxS rifles they produced at the time.

Roger, ive never seen one of those, interesting looking shotgun for sure.

Damn! I wish I had a model 12 in 28 gauge, numbers matching. I have two pre 64' Model 12's.

Oh man you are killing me.... I would love to have a 1895 in 405.....

Loggah, that 10 carries like a light 12, I've used it for grouse with RST shells and carried it for doe with buckshot but never bloodied it. It is a new pickup for me this year. I hope to use it some more.

here is a kind of rare marlin model 1894 in 38-40 with a 32 inch barrel,and 30 inch magazine the longest special order barrel and magazine marlin offered. I never loaded it up but im sure it holds a bunch of 38-40 ammo !! its actually the top rifle in the top 2 pictures.

I had this Winchester 1885 in 32-40 that I sold to finance a guided elk trip 5 years ago.

Loggah has some nice guns, and he not afraid to shoot them! I have shot his win 1895 Delux 405 fell hard for it! and his brothers Bullard 50-115 talk about too cool guns!

1971 Weatherby Mark V 5 panel Lazermark LH .257 WBY Mag
It's not that old but the LH Lazermark is pretty rare.

How do I post the picture instead of the link from photobucket?

One of Bill Grover's sixguns, a 44 Magnum. I spent an afternoon with him at his shop touring and chatting of what his expansion plans were. This in 1994. I ordered it on the visit and received it four months later. Serial number is my date of birth with my name engraved on the backstrap.

George Daw back action round body, underlever, side lock. This is an early G. H. Daw gun, as he started in the 1870's with cartridge firing shotguns, this one from the late 1870's...
