My fave-o-rite .22 rifle, a BRNO #5. It's actually a lot more beat up than this picture shows:

My favorite in the safe, A Swedish CG63. The Swedes took some of their old M94 and M96 Mausers, rebarreled and reworked them into a fantastic target rifle for the Swedish shooting clubs in the 60s and 70s. This one was converted in 1965 by the Carl Gustaf armory using an 1895 Mauser Oberndorf M94 receiver. It has a very low serial number and might well be the oldest receiver used for a conversion. It has also been confirmed by a well known collector in Sweden that Alvar Holmgren, a top shooter and one of the legendary Swedish gunsmiths, did indeed work on this rifle. I know the trigger on it was done by someone that knew what they were doing, it's perfect.
It's kind of accurate too, no glass, diopter rear sight, an aperture front sight and your eyeball.
At 100 yards, the black square measures one inch. Shooting commercial Prvi, 6.5X55 139 grain SP. I figure it will tighten up some when the perfect handload is found.

I got this little gem a few years back. I traded a dirt bike that I had 40 dollars in. It had belonged to a young guy's grand mother in law and she had given it to him before she passed away. He is one of those guys that don't really like guns like that. Hard to use for deer hunting or rabbits. It was manufactured in 1922. It shoots fine but does not like those blazers with the aluminum, or whatever that stuff is, cases.
I sometimes take it with us for snakes when my grand daughter and I go for a walk out here in the boonies.
Peace,
Gordon

Ok its not old , and its still making it's history but of all the pistols I've owned or tried this one is my favourite .
I ordered it soon as I heard they were being made ,I added the Ahrends stocks the SDM gold bead and am still undecided about whether to do a trigger job or not, it's pretty darn smooth as it is
I like to shoot 240 grain lswc loaded down to about 900 fps ,very accurate and i can hold a bead during rapid fire.

Colt 1929 Police Positive special
Found this in a wall in Grandads closet years ago, It was a rusty crowbar with no front sight I had it re-blued and added a sight also found the Original issue colt grips for it (they were hard to find). I will take this one to the grave with me.

I don't know which one to post a picture of. So I'll just post the latest pic. Although about 8 or 10 new additions are missing.

Why do you have eleven in that one row when there are ten in each of the others? Throws the symmetry off.

Hey...have you thought about getting a 1911?
Gramps #65 Remington Derringer.
Nice old gun with real character from what looks like decades of use. Being a gun collector and antique knife collector, I feel more than myself would like to see a complete photo of the bone stag handled pocket knife you teased us with.
Colt Model 1903 32ACP. Colt lettered to the OSS in September of 1944.
Inland M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine with original sling. BBL dated 6/44. Came out of an armory in Italy at the end of the war. The Captain in charge sent it home where it sat in his closet for better than 50 years. It still had cosmoline in it when I acquired it.

Because it wouldn't have mattered. Taking pics of rows of 10 and having 61 total would still end up with 1 being in a row all by itself. Still thrown off the group lol. So u just tried sneaking it in and it maybe go unnoticed. Fail lol

I bought this from a 90 year old retired army colonel. All parts match except for the mag. The bore looks new and this is one of the best that I have seen.
This is a Lee-Enfield No. 5 Mk. I "Jungle Carbine" made in 8/47. I was 2 when it was made.

The obvious solution would be to box up the extra one and ship it to me.
Once I figger out which of those is the extra one, I'll send you my shipping information.
edit: I believe the extra is the second row from the top, all the way to the left.
