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

An Interarms Virginian Dragoon .45 LC that I bought in the mid 70's.

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.

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.

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.

That is, well, super.

I also have a Rossi M68, 5 shot , that has to be from the 60s or 70s......

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!

decent little revolvers too,

Taurus owns them now, and they still make a decent little revolver

That 1911 at the top of this page is amazing.

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.

That makes three SF members who have one of those!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
