A pair of Swiss rifles. Top one is a 1911, the bottom is a K11. (Actually a 00/11). Both made not long after Orville and Wilbur Wright flew at Kitty Hawk. Amazing firearms and incredibly accurate. The long rifle will ding 8” steel plates all day long at 350yds using diopter sights and GP11 ammo.
Working diligently to enlarge my group size.
Added a couple of long guns to the stable over the weekend:
Glenfield/Marlin.30-30 for $375, which I can live with, seeing as anything else in this caliber local to VA seems to be $1G or better.
Sharps 1863 .52 caliber percussion rifle. $175, and some trade items.
You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.
