Long Gun Show and Tell

[tcecil88]

I love the 39A, awesome rifle. I've taken a lot of squirrels with a 39A.

Added a beautiful black & brass Skinner peep sight and barrel blank with aperature holder to the 39A

Winchester M1D porn anyone???

I arrived 30 minutes before the North Store in Port Clinton, Ohio opened and i was first in line when the doors opened.

Theodore Roosevelt was the father of Civilian Marksmanship. I scored one of these neat posters and framed it to hang in my man-cave.

There were bout 20 Service Grade Winchester M1D from which to choose. They ranged from a couple of six digit(...early production) to a couple of WIN-13s(...the last production run Winchester made. I quickly evaluated the two six digit rifles and chose the earliest based on barrel readings and smoothness of action.

When, I got home I ordered a reproduction M82 and mount from the CMP estore. While waiting for the scope, I hand rubbed several coats of raw linseed oil into the well sanded and very dry stock.

The lightly stamped heal markings were common with the early Winchester receivers. I didn't realize when I bought the rifle; but, Winchester started serial numbers at 100,001 making this only the 16,448th receiver Winchester made out of half a million. The serial number dates manufacture to August of 1941 which is 3 months before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Op Rod as well as most of the parts used in it's post-war rebuild are from Springfield Armory.

Here it is after the leather cheek pad was installed.

The Springfield Armory, M1D specific barrel is dated January of 1952.

The stock is a post war walnut with the DOD acceptance cartouche.

The barrel is "in the white".

It has a "circle serif P" proof mark.

At this point in my collecting, this rifle is the pinnacle of my collection.

When we were out this weekend I got a picture of the two rifles finally. Both are .22LR rifiles, the Winchester 190 was my dad's before he passed away. The Ruger 10/22 I purchased from a member a few weeks ago.

Aero Precision 308
Ballistic Advantage 18" barrel
KAK BCG
BCM large latch CH
SOPMOD stock
Geissele SSA-E
SLR Sentry 7 adjustable gas block
ADM recon 30 mount-probably will end up with SWFA SS 3-15 for the optic
Still need to put on the AAC 51t mount for my SD-N6

PTR 91 A3R (HK G3 Clone)

PTR 91 A3R (.308 Win / 7.62x51mm) with Redfield 2-7x33mm scope

I have always loved "the lines" of this classic.

I ordered my M1 Garand from the CMP A couple months ago after my cmp trip questions thread. It's a CMP Special Field grade and is exactly what I wanted a good shooter. It has a new barrel and stock. The receiver was made in 1953 by Springfield Armory and has been re-parkerized by the CMP. I've wanted a garand since I was a kid and I felt like a kid on Christmas when the FedEx guy showed up at the house.

This is a brand new 327 Federal Magnum Big Boy from Henry. It will be fired soon and then I will have to post a rage report!
Made here in the good ole US of A
I also threw in my Ruger Single Seven of the same caliber. It has been fired and it shoots great.

Just upgraded from iron sights to glass on my LMT LM308MWS. I almost sold it, but luckily nobody bit before I decided that I would regret selling it. So rather than selling, it got a new set of eyes!

This is what the LMT looked like with the factory iron sights that I just removed:

Here's what the LMT looks like now with it's new eyes, a Trijicon VCOG:

The VCOG offers a wide variety of reticle choices, here's the one I ended up going with. As Kirk mentioned, should look real nice with a black pig behind it!:

Because of the first focal plane design, the reticle is in focus right up to the muzzle. Good for home defense or hunting. Hoping to take this on a wild boar hunt next spring.

Just picked up a savage B22 FV 22lr today.
Has a cheaper tasco scope and an off brand bipod on it.
Cant wait to plink with this one.

Thinking about possibly making it my first suppressor host in the future as funds allow.

Picked this Remington 722 at an auction back in May. It's chambered in 300 Savage and is a good shooter. I emailed Remington the serial # and they replied back with a MFG date of 1953. The scope that was on it was a Simmons that is meant for a .22. Over the summer I found a deal on a Leupold VX1 3-9, picked up some new rings and it was good to go. This thing isn't clean but it's like an old car with some patina.

I found a pig sticker for the 1916 Lithgow Enfield

Finally added a Winchester 94 30-30 to the collection!
