[spencer rifle]

How about a Spencer rifle?

 

[repeter1977]

I have an M9 Berretta and a M11 Sig P228.
Also an M1 Garand since I'll have my 1903 Springfield there.

How about a Spencer rifle?

Sir,

You already offered the following: (These are in the OP.)

Revolutionary War
Pennsylvania Rifle (Spencer Rifle)

Civil War (1861 - 1865)
Spencer Rifle, 1861 (Spencer Rifle)
Sharps & Hankins Navy Carbine (SR)
Sharps Rifle, 1859 (SR)
Smith Carbine, 1860 (SR)

Colt Navy Revolver, 1851 (SR)
Remington Army Revolver, 1863 (SR)

I would be thrilled if you could bring those for the folks to learn from!

Thanks,

Doug

The pistols will be GREAT as they are the only modern firearms I have down, save for my semi-auto version of the M16.

I have an M1903 Springfield I am bringing already along with a Garand. My Springfield is not an a1 or other model but the original. Is yours the original design or a later model?

----

I will try to come up with some basic tags with strings for each of these display pieces so that folks can get some basic information on the weapons themselves.

Regards,

Doug

My Springfield 1903 is an A3 version.
And glad to bring the pistols. The Sig P228 is actually my EDC. I'd carried a similar one for three years, the rest of the time I carried the M9.
Hope that helps.

I will also bring a wooden stand that holds all mine with room for a few more.

How's your knee?

 

[actaeon277]

I also have 2 wooden stands that Lonehoosier built for INGO.

 

[repeter1977]

I have an M4 version as well that I can bring out, with a Red Dot on it, same as the issued one. At least in 2008.

This is great. We'll have two (2) Springfields to show the evolution of the rifle.

The pistols will be a good example of modern military sidearms.

Stand is good. I will have a few tables as well.

Stands are good.

This rocks. This will be the most modern military rifle we have to display. It will also be great to again show my M16 semi-auto version of the Vietnam era rifle to what it has become today.


I would also like to display a round of each of these to show what they shoot. I'll bring some .30 - 06 in an enbloc clip along with a round for the .30 carbine and 5.56 x 45mm round. Can ya'll bring some of the black powder projectiles to show what our ancestors would have been hit with?

Thanks,

Doug

Improving. I might be limping a little but should be OK for the day.

ETA:
I will be bringing some bullpups for those who wish to try them out - IWI X95, Steyr AUG and KelTec RFB.
