All About Pocket Knives

here are a pair of cowboy guns...out of payson area...pioneer family.
a 25-35 and a auto loader .22

I like the looks of them Gringo

My dad had one of those 22 autoloaders. Model 63. In his cabin up in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Early 50s??

Model '63 Winchester.

There was an earlier version, the Model 1903, that was chambered for the 22 Winchester Auto. The guns look and function exactly alike but the ammo is not interchangeable.

I had a Model '63 many years back. It was tack driving SOB and about 98% it had a spot of bluing about a quarter inch square missing off the forend cap, other than that it was flawless. Still kicking myself in the ass for selling it.

this .22 is the older model, i thought a 1907...but o3 could be it...the rifle takes special ammo...looks like a 22 short...but not...which is why it is now a wall hanger...it is still a functional rifle.

Gonna enjoy my time off this week. The Ruger on the left is new (to me)

Check out these unusual old guns!

Great day at the range with my favorite daughter.
61 degrees and sunshine.

M.B. that is a great link. Some of those really speak to me, like the pocketknife gun.
Others, I just wonder "what the heck?"

Does a 1946 K22 qualify for admission to this party?

Ricky, I agree

Make sure you check out page 2, there are some more interesting ones on that page also

Sure does! You have some nice stuff on that table, I really like that Ruana

another new toy to play with

Hey Ranger, nice pistols and I really like the 26. If only Glock would add a manual safety it would be the perfect gun. There's a video of a Glock set up to fire auto and the guy runs 500 rounds through it, one mag after another, with no failures. Pretty impresive.

Thanks Murph, I've resisted the Glock urge for 25 years, but the HK gets too bulky for EDC sometimes.
I guess Glock is the AK-47 of the pistol world.

Blue - Have you ever considered a Sig Sauer? They're expensive but hell, they're all expensive these days.

Hey Jerry,
Yep, "considered" only. I am a bit of a tightwad, but they are excellent guns. The P220 and P250 compacts speak to me.
someday, maybe someday.... when my ship comes in.

My father in law gave me a M1 Garand (Springfield) for Christmas. He's had it since the 1990s or so. The receiver serial number (6 digits) dates it to April 1941 - pre-war - does that make it rare? This is a Blue Sky- Virginia import (stamped on barrel) that was evidently sent to South Korea sometime in the 50s or 60s and shot to hell. The barrel looks nice but swallows a .30.06 shell up the the brass (and can even wallow around a little bit). The stock looks brand new - probably replaced by Blue Sky when they brought it back from Korea in the 80s / 90s.

I called Springfield and they will replace the barrel for $209.....so I think I will do that.

Unk, The age of your M1 adds to the value, but unfortunately the Koreans didn't take very good care of our M1's. That fact can negatively affect the value. Rebarreling is a good idea, in my opinion, if the rest of the gun is good.

I finally got around to taking a few pics of the Garand.....this has to be one of my all-time favorite Christmas presents.

Hey Ricky or any of you gun experts***___I bought this older, Model 5904 S&W,9mm, at the gun show,last Saturday and just got to the range today*** Wow !!! what a difference from, my model #19, 357 Revolver ____ my first experience,with an auto***buTTTTT !!!!!!! another auto,is now in my future ____and now for the ""dumb question"" of the day

If you load the clip,with 14 rounds,and ""leave it loaded"" for a period of time--seems it would ""weaken the spring""????? ____I plan to use one of my pistols,as a "companion",in my travels (not on person carry)____ the model #19,has been in my night stand drawer,for 30 years___can you load the clip,and put in a drawer for ""thirty years"' and expect it to shoot,when needed ????

ALWAYS change out the clip on January 1 and also on July 4th. Unload the one that has been 'on duty' and let it rest for 6 months.

That's good advice Ray.
Nice pistola there Big Monk!
