2352Sorry to hear about your friend. Good to know some of his items are safe with you. Beautiful firearms.

2353Thanks. So far the only bad thing for my wife and I reaching our late 70's is that so many of our friends are dying. For the many years I went to the KC gun show 30 of us would go out to eat on Saturday night. This year there were only 3 of us and I decide to no longer go to the show because its too depressing.

This next one is and equally rare .22 Steyr Zephyr.
Last is a Brno 7X57 Model 21 which came with a .22 adapter.

2358Since I'm 78, you'll have a shot at them when I die and my wife gives them to my friends at Kramer Auction.

Re: Gun Porn Thread
2361These are a couple of more from the same estate. This first one is a pre-war Colt Ace.
This is a rare very early Colt .380 with a barrel bushing.

2363So, I gussied up my Springfield Saint Victor AR-10 with a little stainless and the 50 round drum...why not?

Re: Gun Porn Thread
2364How do you like those grips? Do they add a lot of weight?

Re: Gun Porn Thread
2365I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, as it only just came home this weekend. I can tell you that the grips are stable as F__K. I will never go back to Plastic/Poly grips on a riffle. As for weight, not really a concern, the whole thing weighs a metric ton, especially when you add 50 round drum. The grips are a bit heavy, but they are skeletonized, so there's that.

2366My brand new CZ 457 Varmint, wearing a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x33 EFR. Crazy accurate bolt action .22, destroyer of squirrels.
Re: Gun Porn Thread
2369That almost makes me want to get a CZ! Beauty!

Re: Gun Porn Thread
2370Damn dude, that think looks awesome!
I take it it's accurate as can be, being a CZ and all.
Looks like they're actually not all that expensive either.

2371They are not that expensive. CZ rimfire rifles are a great deal.

2372They don't exactly, at least not on this model. The stock is stippled, not checkered. They laser etch the "random" stippling pattern, presumably to save money. Some of their other 457 models are checkered though, so I'm not sure why they don't do this one. In any case, it does its job providing grip, so I'm happy.senorgrand wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2019 11:51 pm Nice rifle! I didn't realize they "checked" the stock. Nice feature.

Re: Gun Porn Thread
2375I finally got the final 2 rifles from my friend's collection.
This first one is a 1906 vintage semi-deluxe Model 94 Winchester take down rifle in 38/55. As expected most of the charcoal blue finish on the receiver has flaked off.
This one is a Model 1905 Mannlicher Schoenaur in 9X56. It sports an old 4X Zeiss scope that still has great optics.
