Hmm, that reminds me that I want a blunderbuss, and a Colt Root style revolver.

Winchester 1895s in .30 Government and 7.62 Russian.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Have been arguing with myself, how one determines, rational, verses irrational. I'd like to shoot (and possibly own) a 229, as well as one of the new Colt revolvers. Shoot a PS90 as well as a Calico, as I figured it would be hard to screw up gravity for feeding a gun, but I heard Calico did just that.
None of that, seems irrational.
What seems irrational to me, would be to be just like Beto, and want all of them.

Ooooh, yeah..The Russians ordered around 250,000 of them in 7.62..I’ve often wondered where they all went. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few crates of them in storage over there somewhere.. I had a M95 repro that Winchester was selling for awhile, but it was in .270.. I got in a tight spot and traded in to pay a debt.. but, a M95 in.270 just wasn’t right..if it had been in 30-06, I would’ve had a much more difficult time parting with it..
I’ve seen a few of those, LGS I used to go to (shop’s been closed for a few years, as the owner died) one time a local came in with a ‘76 Winchester, in I think 44-40, and a ‘95 in 30-40,both in decent shape, and wanted to sell them both, The owner bought them, and the ‘95 went into his personal collection, the ‘76 he sold.. I think the person who sold them had basically inherited his grandmothers house, and found these in a closet, and like an idiot foolishly sold them.. It always stunned me what kind of firearms would come into this guys shop, that people would want to sell, a lot of times it was junk, and a lot of other times people didn’t have a clue what they had..All they knew it was grandpappys old gun, and they figured it was worth something...
Well some others came to me as I perused this thread:
Remington models 8 & 14.
