S&W Long Gun Photos

Post them here, be they Swedish, Japanese, American or Turkish.
I've often longed for the Husqvarna made models A, B, C, D and E but alas there are none in my collection.

Here are some of my "Made in Japan to S&W Specs." (Howa) rifles.

Nice. If you want to take pics of S&W long arms, come to the S&WCA annual meeting in Tucson, AZ in July. I am helping put together a display of approx. 50 shotguns & rifles, starting with a D.B.Wesson made (circa 1849) percussion muzzle loading target rifle up to the latest M&P15s and Elite shotguns, etc. All models made in the intervening years will be on display. This is the only time such a display has ever been presented at the annual meeting, or any where else. Ed #15

I may be old fashioned but I still like the looks of those scoped bolt action rifles with wooden stocks. A work of art in my opinion.

I bought this 1500 circa 1985. Restocked in 1992. Rebarreled to 250 Savage Improved Ackley circa 2000. English walnut.

Thanks for posting all the photos, I have a 1500 deluxe in 30-06. The 1500's are pretty nice rifles.

I know that 90% of this site is about pistols and revolvers but there are a few of use that shoot a scatter gun.

My father brought me up to hunt, quail, upland and water fowl, since he enjoyed it and he also had dogs to retrieve, making it really sweet.

Today in my Silver years I am just getting over neck surgery where they had to fuse four vertebrae and I am almost back to 95%.

Have a new young neighbor that shoots clay birds and it looks like I might
pick it up again after a four year lay off.
I have been going over my loaded trap loads and what chokes and type loads that I used in ATA and local trap teams.

Just hope that I am strong enough and in good enough shape to hold and swing the old O/U for two rounds of Trap, for starters.

Otherwise the old gas auto might have to come into play.....
or the older Winchester .410 pump !!

Great pictures and post, by the way.

Great Pictures!

Here's a picture of two real ones.

On the top, A 1982 vintage Mod 1500 .223 Deluxe Heavy Barrel Varmint. With factory swivels. Factory drilled,tapped for scope mounts. The stock is flawless and so is the deep deep finish.
Never scoped, or fired.

On the bottom, A 1982 vintage Mod 3000 Police Slug 12 GA. 20 in BBL with rifle sights (Adj rear sight)
Ordered with the 3 inch mag extension kit 128030000 with the
Cap and swivel kit 128090000.
Flawless Walnut Stock, so flawless that S&W forgot to install the swivel and it never came with the weapon.
No scratches even on the slide rail.
So pretty it's a shame to shoot it so it's also never been fired.

If there are some of you out there that are original owners of one of these weapons I would like to compare prices paid in 1982.
