SIG P320 Custom Works AXG Scorpion + Hogue/SIG Emperor Scorpion Auto + a bug
 
I guess I should explain that I am autistic/Aspergers. We tend to specialize/collect. One of my "fetishes" is knives and guns-they gotta match. That being said: here's a few more.

Ruger Bisley and the #23 before it became porcupine chow!


1895 Winchester, Colt New Service and a Buck


Wife's "Bear gun" 41 mag and another Stapel's knife. (We both know Chuck from our time with Quail Unlimited in SoCal)


Sorry if this was kinda over-bearing.

This is NOT overbearing. Keep 'am coming!
 
My new Custom Buck 110 Knife pictured alongside my trusty PPK/S.

This Buck 110 was ordered by my brother months ago as a Birthday Present for me, but didn't arrive until today, which is just shy of two months late, but it was certainly worth the weight. It came from Buck's Custom Shop with an engraved S30V Stainless Steel blade and Cherrywood grips. (For Reference: Standard 110s have 420HC blades and Ebonywood grips.)

Back in about '57 or so, at my Boy Scout troop meeting place on the Newport RI naval base, was rummaging around in some of the back cabinets, and found this M1 1943 bayonet. I asked my scoutmaster if I could keep it and he told me I could take it home.

About 15 years ago my now deceased father-in-law sold me his 1943 Springfield M1 for $300. He had gotten it from another American Legion member long years before, and had proudly carried it in the parades in his small Nebraska town. It is mint, all original, and far too nice to have ever been overseas. I suspect it was a DCM rifle from long ago. I reload for it, and it shoots like a dream.

Not long ago, since the bayonet would not "click" onto my M1 or 1903A3, I filed the groove on the bayonet's hilt and got the inner grip lever for the push lock from SARCO, and now it clicks perfectly onto both of my rifles.

The pistol is an AO I bought about 15 years ago, and I sent it to Cylinder & Slide for their magic, and Novak sights. I carried a similar 1911 in Vietnam and Desert Storm.

All the best,,, SF VET

Maybe 25 years ago, back when Gun Shows were really worth walking thru, happened to pick up this Randall knife. Never have worn it, or actually used it, it just seemed like a really handsome knife. I can't recall what I paid for it, and have given it to my son like most of my other blades. I also can't recall what the "name" of this particular knife is.

About a decade ago, was at a LGS, and a good friend, an IDPA shooting buddy, suggested I look over a TRP newly placed in their used gun case. I happen to like 1911 pistols, and speaking with the counter chap, also a friend for years, he told that someone had bought it, but "...didn't have the tools to shoot it." Came home with me, with case and manual and such.

Springfields are/were sighted to shoot at the 6 o'clock on the bull, and I like my pistols to shoot precisely to my point of aim. So sent it to Dawson for a new front sight. Then took the pistol about north 50 miles north of Charlotte to a respected "race gun" builder, who disassembled the TRP on his workbench, and then picked up his tools and files and in about an hour put it all back together and handed it to me and said "...lets go out back and shoot it."

It already was a smooth, silky pistol, but after his work bench, it was just a new pistol. It handles all my reloads perfectly, and when I sometimes think about a full-on custom 1911, I just remind myself that my TRP really is just that now. TRP's are just big, heavy, beastly guns.

So, a pic of the two on a rock in my back yard.

All the best.... NAM VET
