Someone has a definite talent for taking photos of old rifles. Some of the backdrops are very creative. The subject material is not bad either. I am envious.
How long have you been working on this collection? And I do realize that not all are still with you, but still... very nice.
Makes me wish I'd focuses a bit more when I started. My collection is all over the board. But, I guess I could sell and buy and convert my other types if I wanted to.
Great photographs ... very well laid out. But I have to ask ... where, sir, is your 32-40? As a big black powder shooter, aren't you obligated to own a 32-40?
... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

Beautiful picture's and winchester's. They are all nice but my favorite is the SRC 38-55. Boy that's a sweet carbine. Thank's for the pic's.

OSAK I've been working on my collection for about 5 years. As I said in another post, I have a total of 9 Winchesters, and I think I have enough. I've switched my focus from acquiring them to shooting them.
Rimfire 32-40? Well, there reaches a point when a fellow has to stop getting more and shooting what he has. I'm probably past that point.

Kirk,
You really made excellent pictures. That is a very nice collection.
I understand the less accumulating and more shooting idea, but then I look at the photos and I feel like I need to search out an old 1873 or a model 53 or, or, or...
As always, I love your pics, and choices of firearms. I have had several on my laptop since I joined this forum. The rest will join them as soon as I get the full size versions. VBG.

Kirk,
I NEED that pistol gripped deluxe '86. Very, very nice. You have some nice pieces there and I'm sure they keep a smile on your face. Your photos are outstanding and put me on the list for a calendar! Thanks pard.--------Sixgun

Glad I can share these old guns with you all. There is too much pleasure in them to be enjoyed by just one person.
