Flash from the past. Check you recognization skills (or guesswork)
« on: July 14, 2009, 09:09:41 PM »
Rummaging around in my gun stash the other day and came upon this.  What is it? ;)  Hint--it is a single shot 44 mag.

When I was younger and had gonads the size of grapefruits I about blew myself up with this thing.  Story to follow in a day or so.

It is a shame I can't sell a gun.  I could retire in style but then I wouldn't have anything to do.  I still have my first from 51 years ago.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

well i belive the first is a handmade 44 mag made form some sort of steel piping while the flintlock muzzle loader looks like an old 50 cal and the shinny one looks like some sort of short barrel rotary mag shotgun with a manual firing pin
