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.

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.

I love the climbin' Lyman'

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.

After looking at all of.these pictures, I think I'll go and throw all my guns in the dumpster!

Nice customized Fox XE in 16 gauge.

Consecutive serial numbered custom Brownings in 16 gauge.

Something you don't see everyday. A pre-war Walther presentation grade 22 Semi auto bolt. If you lift the bolt it operates as a semi.

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.

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.
