I started a new topic and stickied it. It's just for me to put everyone's pictures and showcase them. Please don't reply there, so it stays uncluttered and it's easy to look at the pictures. Thanks fellas.

Enjoy!

I agree Hawg! We could start a photo album of just his amazing guns!

I found this pic tonight in my Flickr storage. I then searched the forum to see if I had shared it. I went through every category I could think of and never came across it. So here it is. Sorry if it is a double up repeat.

I went and got one of my guns back from the pawn shop and they still have that original 92 Winchester in 32-20. I wrote down the serial number and it was made in 1921. I wish somebody would buy it so I'll quit trying to figure out what I can stand to let go of to get it.

Scooby, you're killing me with that Henry and those 86's. Both are high on my wish list.

I don't ever recall seeing those '86s before, Scoob. Absolutely outstanding. I keep telling myself I need one, and your picture is not helping me at all!

I just love the looks of the patina on that particular piece.

Yep...one of the things that attracted me to it the moment I saw it!
