I traded for this BAR. The metal was perfect, the wood was showing wear. I refinished the wood, sent it to Errol Case in MO to restore the fancy checkering and carving. I then traded it at considerably higher value than what I had in it. Fancy, engraved hunting rifles aren't my cup of tea. I've had a few BAR's. They're OK, just don't have any currently. DF

This is one of my favorite firearms. The pistol was my Grandfathers' and is just like he left it. Steel knucks are from the same period as the pistol and are the inspiration for the push dagger my brother and I made. This photo was used as an ad for the Push Dagger.

Where are you guys getting all these guns??? Holy fugg!! Excellent collections!!!! I'm tapping..... I'm outta firearms now.... Their is no way ta keep up with some of you guys At least until I build an M4 clone. Out of all you guys with extensive and expensive collections Who has a presafety marlin 444 or presafety 336A in .35 that has been sitting in gun safe for a decade or so. That is boring to you and in 90% or better shape you would consider selling. I can guarantee it will be hunted and well cared for. Pm me if ya got one ya can bear to part with Keep this thread rolling guys I'm tapped outta guns Hahaha!!!! Fugg......

I met an older gentleman in the early 90,s from Benton Kentucky Had a 60' x 40' enviormentlly controlled bldg Long guns galore Dealer/ collecter type of guy. Bought a 95% 1962 win mod 100 .308 from him and an extra mag For 400 1992 dollars. Said he bought it off an older neighbor in 1966 that gave up deer hunting. Sent it in to Winchester in mid 80,s for the recall work. He had never fired it Ran 10 shells thru it behind his bldg Sold it like a fool in 2001. Offered him 900 for a pristine pre 64 .308 fwt w/alum bottom metal. Said he wanted ta keep it and pass it on to a nephew Didn't push it , understood what he said.
In 2005 I called him up and inquired if he had any Garands for sale Told him who i was, he remembered me. Drove out to Benton, he had to be in his mid to late 80,s but was very physically active and able. Caught up on events from us both.
Got a Winchester Garand off him for 800.
Still had that fwt, he let me oogle it again. Didn't even ask about selling it again.

Major Charles Askin, Sr. personal 1932 Superposed. The Major was Col. Charley Askins' Dad, one of the most renouned gun writers of the early to mid 1900's. He was a shotgun guru. Here's a link to how I obtained this gun. I've posted it before. www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=124719 It is entitled 1933 Superposed, but the gun, as we find out, was delivered to then Capt. Askins in 1932. DF

DF I am not big on engraving on receivers in the "white" but that is one pretty BAR....

I think it has a satin chrome or such finish. It is pretty. I traded it for a Dakota .270, later traded that one for my Ed Brown Damara, 300 WM, which is a keeper. DF

Wow, 16 ga. Supers are rare as hens teeth. I learned a good bit about that, studying the Askins clan as I researched the 1932 Super posted above. I guess you know the story of ole Charley getting a 16 ga. Super built for his wife. What's the scoop on that fine pair? DF

A Ruger Gold Label that has spent some time with an engraver... And a Westley Richards that didn't.
