Currently mine is a 16 ga bolt action - one of the old catalog guns sold by Sears Roebuck.

I know some of you must have some pretty interesting ones. Watcha' got?

After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box.

Is the bolt action smoothbore or rifled?

A side by side double barreled shotgun from about 1900 there is only what looks like a Y on the whole firearm. Very plain wood and steel. My grandfather and father hunted with it pre 1940.

Nice. Firearms with some history to them are the best.

I like the tacticool types just as much as the next guy, but there is something about an older, wood-stocked long gun that gets my attention.

Israeli Mauser chambered in 7.62NATO. It's not the most intriguing firearm on the planet but the history of it is chilling.

An old 22LR bolt action rifle made for sears that came with a vintage small tube weaver scope.

Not really very obscure, but it's a hoot to shoot: Egyptian Hakim

Just looked that one up; 10 rounds of 8mm sounds like fun!

Probably the softest shooting 8mm out there... I don't know why people looking for muzzle brakes don't try this design out.
