Here’s a .300 Blackout Carbine I assembled. Upper is a suppressor ready AAC and the lower uses an Anderson Arms receiver.

Here's a No. 1 Mk III British SMLE made by the London Small Arms Company in 1915. The stock disc could be a fake or it could mean the 56 Infantry Brigade, aka London's Own. It has been through the Factory Trough Repair Program (FTR) twice by Lithgow, the Australian SMLE manufacturer and repair facility. the Upward Arrow and the letter D indicates it eventually became Australian Military Property; the various date codes on the gun indicate this gun was in WWI, WWII, and possibly the Korean War. I have surplus WWII .303 Enfield Ammo; all corrosive, some of it is made with "Cordite". Shooting cordite ammo, surplus from WWII is rather interesting. Pulling the trigger one can hear the pop of the primer and then the sizzle of the cordite burning until it reaches critical mass and launches the round down range! A good lesson in trigger control and remaining on target until the round is fired! There was an Australian dime in the butt of the gun....

Yesterday I had surgery to implant a Spinal Cord Stimulator that should have been implanted a year ago.

The top picture is of my Model 1878 Swiss Vetterli, photo of the actions are the Vetterli on top and the bottom, an 1884 Springfield Trapdoor. The Swiss Vetterii is chambered in .41 Swiss rimfire; the Springfield, .45-70 centerfire. Both rounds are ballistically similar but the Vetterli has a 12 round capacity; the Springfield 1 round!

First thanks for the well wishes. So far so good. In two weeks I will get the stimulator turned on so it can work it's magic!

Shotguns. One of my favorite type of gun! Here's a pair of High Standard Riot Shotguns. I think I'm into both of these for under $300.00. One with a brass bead front sight; the other, adjustable rifle style sights. That one is also marked below the muzzle CPD No. 5 for the Chesterfield Township, MI Police Department.

I love those old broomhandle pumps. I even bought a Winchester 1300 Youth for my son which has the broomhandle forend. I really prefer that forend on a pump.
