How about a Colt's 1911 made in 1913? This one is about 105 years old now...  I like the old gun a log... but it doesn't get shot... V/r Chuck Hoist on High the Bonny Blue Flag that Bears the Single Star!!! Certified SIG Armorer Certified Glock Armorer | |||

On the good end of things: Colt Officer's Model, .22LR with target sights, 1930 build date.  On the odd end of things: A Baby Hammerless in .22 short - early 20th century, probably...  And one gratuitous rifle: 1936 Winchester Mod. 70 originally in .257 Roberts, re-chambered to .25 Gibbs.

How about the one that got away. An original Paris Theodore Cutdown Hi-Power. I was still in school and just couldn’t swing it. I bid $3500 but it went for $5+. It came in a Seventrees briefcase that had a secret compartment cut out for the gun.  _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Have not seen any Lahtis yet. Top and bottom are WW II-era Husqvarna m/40s. Middle is the rare one, 1 of the 100 made by Valmet in 1985 for the 50-year commemoration.  NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

I cant afford rare guns so I have to make my own Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter, worked over by Gary Reeder and Jim Stroh.    ________________________________ | |||

I have a 2011, a P220, and a Glock. While not particularly rare, they are all .38 Super.  | |||

They were popular imports during the late '70's and early '80's, which is when I bought mine. See my pic on page 1 of this thread of my blued M-68 purchased new in the very late '70's from my LGS when they were most popular and selling for around $130.00 or so... definitely don't see them very often any more! _____________________________ Bill R.

I have two. Neither are super rare or valuable but I don't see a lot of either. the first and more rare is a Colt 22 .22lr that my dad bought me for my 16th birthday.  And the second is one of the original 3" barrel Ruger SP101 in .327 Fed Mag. I also have an orginal 4" .22lr SP101, the one with the full lug but I can't find my pictures of that one.  “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

I'm kind of interested in the serial # or at least the general range. Only because I have #201 Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

I knew someone else did around here. I didn't know two had them. Though with over 84k members I am sure there are a few more owners floating around. Are you one of the other owners? If so I don't know if you know this but Beretta Neos mags work in the Colt. I only had the two factory mags until I figured that out a few years ago. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

I am.  Excam_Man mentioned on page 4 that the Neos mags work in this Colt... I'm thinking now I need to find a couple of those. Edit: Looks like Midway has them on sale right now. God bless America. | |||

I missed all of that  . But reading it I do recall the conversation Bruce and Exam_man had regarding that. I personally have never had any problems with mine and it still rides to the range with me almost every time.“Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

Mine doesn't go out with me often, but it's great fun when it does. In a strange way, it's like the Ruger P89 I had: It never hiccups. God bless America. | |||
