    Speaking of muzzleloaders, here's my 20 gauge Virginia fowler. Yep, it's a southpaw gun.

    Yeah, I'll be getting one of those eventually. Also plan on acquiring a Berthier Mle. 1916, a Ross 1910/Mk III, an 1889 Belgian Mauser, and a Turkish Mauser in 7.65x53mm (which will probably be nigh impossible to find).

    Anyway, here's an updated photo of my collection I took a few hours ago, since I now have a new, better-looking Carcano (Terni 1897) and a proper cleaning rod for my Gew 98.

    Huzzah! My first semi-auto, and first modern firearm of any kind, in fact.
    mini14_zpsae678f55.jpg

    *Upon further investigation it appears that what I have is no ordinary Mini-14; rather, it seems to be a Frankenstein mix of Ranch Rifle and Tactical Rifle parts: The receiver is marked "Ranch Rifle" and it looks to have the longer 18.5" Ranch barrel, while it also has the Tactical Rifle black polymer stock and flash hider, as is obvious from the picture. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Perhaps someone with more knowledge on Minis could shed some light on this?
    **As of July 1st this rifle is no longer mine; sold it to a good friend. Hooray for UBC-less private sales!

    This came today from Samco Global... The "cracked stock" that they advertised is strictly cosmetic in the thin part of the wood by the receiver. Easy enough to glue and clamp. :) Haven't even cleaned it up yet... this is as it came out of the box. The bore is pristine!

    That looks beautiful! Is that the beech or walnut? I was gonna hold off on buying one for awhile. I'm not so sure anymore. Thanks for posting pix!

    Beech. I did spend the extra 20 bucks for the Special Select version. I'm really pretty happy with it. Their customer service was pretty good too. I called them a couple of times, and emailed once. When I emailed, they called me. I wasn't upset about anything... just anxious to get the rifle! :):

    Enfield No. 1 Mk. III

    Picked this up today at U.S. Defense Solutions in Greenwood (INGO Advertiser! :ingo:) No import marks, and the bore is outstanding. The rifle is in great shape, especially for being 95 years old, and got a great deal from the guys there as well.
