Partial House Cleaning

[MoA]

A couple of pics...

Had to check the contents of one of the safes, since the trigger guard of the Cz-452 was showing a little rust..


Here is a part of my collection of random ammo I have collected over the years..


The 9mm stuff is mostly found walking around in the woods and is mostly from WWII of German, British, US origin. The Mauser ammo is the last bit of a semi full can I found. The rest of it went downrange..
The first .50 is interesting because I found both the bullet and the case in seperate fields.

And no I do not own guns in all these calibers, and no I do not own 13 guns. I have more, but couldnt get everything together, plus there are duplicates in models and calibers. .

The silencer on P-22 is very effective, and that is how it stays by my bed. No point in making noise.

MoA,

Congratulations, an excellent collection this is . It seems to me that you prefer long guns over handguns. A silenced P-22 by the bedside ? Hhmmm ....... interesting !

best,

A nice tidy arsenal there,MOA. If it is not too much to ask, could you please post a few more pics of the guns?Care to tell us what those chubby rimmed cartridges are in the middle? Thank you.

Best-
Vikram

[MoA]

The chubby cartridges are 45-70 Govt, and 45-50 Govt, the ones next to the various .22 cartridges are 44 Mag and 44-40

I do prefer long guns. In my books a pistol is useful to get to your rifle

Moa,

Good thing to have a silencer.Most people don't realize that a firing a gun,even a .22 pistol,in an enclosed area like a room can be deafening.

MoA,
Thats a pretty amazing collection....just about covers everything a person would wanna own....didnt know that laws in Europe were so liberal...

[cottage cheese]

...er...before the local police raid my humble home on the assumption that I own the arsenal displayed above...a little pointer...please refer to MoA as MoA and not MOA or Moa or moa....

Thanks!

I have to find the keys to the second safe, seem to have kept them a little too safely..
Both my savages are switch barrels, so I do change calibers on them very frequently, currently between the 6 mm NBR, .260 Rem, .22-250 and .260 AI, also am waiting on another 6 BR and 6.5x47 Lapua barrel and contemplating a 6 PPC. It takes me about 10-20 mins to change calibers.

In terms of additional guns, there is the SHR 970 currently for sale at the armourers,a couple of handguns, and a couple of rifles, nothing fancy though.
I do not own drillings, H&H shotguns (I do have a BP Muzzle loading 12 GA lying around somewhere though not by anyone famous), or exotic heavy caliber guns. Simple stuff mainly for tactical LR or BR.

Plus with my current schedule I cant shoot very often, and I am having a difficult time justifying everything to the Finance Minister, since each additional acquisition means the gun, dies, brass, powders, primers etc. And complaints that there is too much gun stuff at home. To give you an idea, across calibers I have about 7-10K rounds of ammo, with about half of that being .22 LR of various types.

Here is an old picture of the FMR RS-1

Completely impractical as a gun, wieghs in at 25 lbs, and is for sale as well. The rifle is not very accurate with subsonic ammo, and not very quiet with supersonic.
Another pic, with the mauser and a shooting event I won last year.. With the Mauser, off hand shooting at100 meters. no slings or peep sights allowed.


This is about the best group I have shot

It is .350 inches edge to edge or .107 (about 2mm) center to center @100 meters. Too bad wasnt in competition, and too bad I cant do it consistently
Will take some more pics and post soon.

HO! Nice ! VERY Nice! and here i am lusting after my first F class... Those BP revolvers are pretty interesting.

[MoA]

The BP revolvers are all Uberti replica's.
Colt 1860, Remmie 1858, and the Colt Walker. The Walker was reputedly the most powerful handgun until the .357 Mag came out. An original one sold last year for about USD 500K

I typically shoot 47 odd grains of Swiss BP with a .454 ball or a .452 Conical with a lube wad in my Walker. (The typical load for the other two is roughly half the amount of powder) Will obscure the firing lanes with a couple of shots, and always draws a crowd. Too bad its accurate to minute of barn, but with sufficient kentucky windage I can hit 4x4 Target once every 10 or so shots at 100 meters. Most often shot at 25 meters... lot of fun though.
