I know this is not near as impressive as many of you alls collections, but Iâ€™m proud of it. Not near as many levers as I would like. Iâ€™m working on that. My wife has reached what we call the â€œC.G.M.â€

Impressive to me!

I have some catching up to do.

Nice collection. Tell me about your flinter, is it a Traditions Kentucky? How do you like it?

You hit it on the head. It shoots great as long as you use real black and not subs. You really have to keep the flash hole clean. I have some little brushes I found that work real well. If I run them through every couple of shots it will do great up to about 30 shots. Then I have to do a full clean.

Very nice....and a very good start on levers. Like the Ruger #1, what caliber?

Nice collection.

cutter · Post by **cutter** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 6:19 pm

Thanks for the info Dastook. I've the chance to buy one cheap, and haven't decided yet. The flash hole isn't located correctly on the ones I've seen, so I didn't know how well they would fire.

That's It? Just kidding,a nice collection.

That #1 is NICE!

I went through mine over the Christmas week (vacation) I found 53 in my safes.

Thing is, about a collection like this, the value on every one of them has most likely increased since you've held them. I bought a 3 1/2 inch S&W model 27-2 back in 1991 in Rapid City for 280.00. I see them on the Broker now for 600, 700, 800, for nice like mine. How can you go wrong with these excellent firearms you have, nice job!!!

That CGM thing is pretty common among wives! It seems their heads grow back, as mine has reached that point numerous times!

Well you should be proud I Envy your collection

Not impressive........
Thats great....Hope you have a large safe...

kimwcook · Post by **kimwcook** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:46 pm

If I had that collection I'd be a proud man. You're very lucky. My wife has hit CGM and I'm not near your saturation point.

Very nice. I like your diversity.

You are a lucky man to have such a collection as this!!!! Outstanding!!! Art

The Lewis · Post by **The Lewis** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 9:43 pm

Well I was looking at the first pic while reading your words thinking nice little group o' guns and than I scrolled down

Nice collection! You could start your own little gun shop with them in a pinch! Do you get to shoot them all enough? I mean, if you need some help...

CowboyTutt · Post by **CowboyTutt** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 9:43 pm

I agree with Art, nice diversity in your collection!

Many, many times over what I have. But I gunsmith each one to death. I think it's a personal problem.

Looks like the bases are well covered.

A very, very nice spread, for sure.

I always thought I took good care of my guns, but you letting yours sleep in their own bed takes it to a whole new level.

Awesome collection! Thanks for sharing!!!

Yup, us Yanks are spoiled but we have to keep alert & vigilant or we might as well become a colony again.

Amen to nice collection.

Nice guns!

bobbyjack · Post by **bobbyjack** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:11 am

I have 26 rifles and shot-guns,and ten pistols,you have 23 rifles and shot-guns,and many more pistols than me.

Looks like we have about the same number of weapons,I think i have more shot-guns than you(but what really sticks out is that Kentucky rifle)!

I would really like one of those.

When Big 5 was my friend and mausers kept comming home with me it was great because they more or less looked the same

but when space became a problem that little trick went away

Nice collection.

Jeeps · Post by **Jeeps** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:55 pm

Did they make those Kentucky flinters like that so you can tap the deer on
the shoulder to give 'em a sporting chance?

I would have to put a wheel on the buttstock so I could drag it through the
woods around my house

Very nice collection by the way

I'm using that same trick now, XDs, 10/22s and levers all look the same to the wife. Fortunately I haven't ran out of room yet.

JReed · Post by **JReed** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 11:44 pm

Very nice. I have 7 long guns in my safe with room for 3 more my wife says that is the limit. Unfortunately I already have 2 more at my dads house that I need to pick up from him the next time I go back and visit on leave

. She hasnt set a limit on hand guns yet though
