      From the back of the Gun safe, "It's a Sig! It's a Walther! it's a Hammerli?"

      So, I've been away for a while but I decided that now that we are starting to get some nicer weather, The moon covered the sun for a few minutes, and just because I felt like it it's time to start back with, "From the back of the gun safe," In these posts I reach into my safe and pull something...

      So, I'm a collector of oddities not just in guns, but in several areas, Car's, knives, whiskey, crazy ex girlfriends, etc. But guns have always been one of the biggest passions, I mean isn't that why we're all here? This one here though on this posting of, "From the back of the gun safe" Isn't...

      From the back of the.......... Knife Shelf?

      So, anyone who looks at my posts will see that I've got a trend going where every so often I'll pull something out and give a story behind it, Sometimes that story is personal to me, other times it may just be something interesting that I happen to find about some of the items in my collection...

      From the back of the gun safe. The one I'm sure nobody else has.

      So I wanted to keep this trend going for a bit. Tonights bit from the back of the gun safe is one variant of a gun that there are many of, but you would be hard pressed to find this exact version, And while I may sound like the Corvette collector here who nitpicks the slightest variant in their...

I picked this up while set up at a gun show in Sullivan a few years back and the vendor next to me had...

      Rimfire Bowling pin setup.

      So, I do a weekly club meet where me and some other fine gentleman meet up at our local range and do a rimfire bowling pin shoot. I'm sure a lot of you are asking, "Can a rimfire actually knock over a bowling pin?" Well, we cut the tops off and just shoot at those. Anyway I've been at this for...

      Bullseye range setup.

      It’s been years since I’ve participated in a bullseye event, but while I’ve been looking at adding whatever shooting gear I can especially when I find it cheap I always do. So this week while I was browsing a local auction an older Pachmayr Bullseye Box came up and I ended up becoming the owner...

      The prettiest revolvers out there.

      So lately as I've been building and enhancing my collection I've decided that my revolver game needed to be stepped up a little bit, While browsing my local shop here I managed to find my almost dream revolver. Granted it's newer production, and the barrel is about 2 inches too short, but in the...

      Another rare one in the collection.

      Picked this one up recently and it's one that there's not much information out there on it. A Beretta M85BB, in the elusive Nickel Finish. The gun appears to have had incredibly minimal rounds if any fired through it, I can't find much on how many in this finish were made but from what I've read...
