Barbecue guns.

Let's see 'em!

I use firearms mostly as tools, but I do appreciate a finely crafted work of art and have a few guns almost too pretty to take into the woods.

A Browning 12ga once owned by Jack O'Connor...

 

Jim Zahm built Winchester Model 70.

 

My pretty 1911...

 

My Dan Wesson CBOB. Matte stainless slide, frame that has been blackened, pins recessed, barrel end blackened and chamfered, front grip checkered, mag well chamfered, internals tuned and polished, grips added and shaved.

 

Makes me feel sad. I don’t really own any classically pretty firearms. This is about as close as I’ve got:



Freedom Arms M83 Premier Grade in .454 Casull. It’s had an action job, overtravel stop, and auxiliary .45 ACP cylinder fitted all by Freedom Arms.

I have 6 different front sights of two different heights. The stock serrated ramps, which I despise, two factory fiber optic sights (pretty good), and two under cut partridge style sights by Ken O’Neill that are excellent.

 

recently bought these from my grandma. Gold plated '69 colt .22 california bicentenial & bandolier belt.

now i need spurs & a fancy hat.

 

I have one of them as well I bought new in 2011 although I had a .45 Colt cylinder fitted to mine. I wish I had known about the action job at the time, I would have had that done to mine as well. Excellent trigger as stock though, much better than my other big single actions (all Rugers).

I do consider my Model 83 Premier to be the "Rolex" of my single actions, the rest are more like a "Timex". All good and plenty fun and accurate to shoot though.

This DW CBOB was my BBQ gun until I recently sold it…I don’t know why i sell any of my guns because i regret every single one that i’ve let go

 

Very nice! I've never owned a Dan Wesson, but hear great things about them.

 

Ohh, I love my SA cheapo 22LR/22WMR revolver. I have plenty of modern firearms, but it's just, a fun gun to go relax and shoot for a while at the range. It's certainly nothing nice or expensive, but if you just like to shoot, there it is. No speed loader necessary!

 

I hope you've got a permit for public display of those toes.
