Anybody got any new acquisitions?

Uh huh, sure you are, Skeet.

I am severely jealous over the 32-20 Skeet. It is a cartridge that has always had a special place in my heart.

God bless and One Love

Honest Injun... I am almost done buying guns. Haven't bought a rifle or a shotgun in ages 3 or 4 months...serious. I did buy a S&W M-60 3 inch gun..Adj sights and SS of course and it IS a 357. And I found a new Anderson Lower in my truck....I didn't remember buying it. Guess I will have to buy the stuff to make a complete rifle now. I might not even go to the auction this weekend that has about 60 guns in it

GOB the 32-20 is ok...but not any great shakes in a handgun. I had a Marlin 1894 in 32-20 for a while and it was a fun gun...but you really do have to reload for it and the cases don't last any time at all. My Marlin 1894 in 41 mag is much more fun

skeet,

At my age, I just want to live long enough to wear out all the guns I already own. Our big, annual gun show was nearby on March 10-11, 2018. I saw no bargains there in guns, but I did find a few parts, slings and accoutrements I needed for my stash.

Went to another auction and and bought a PPC revolver...unfired. Got all the original parts so am putting it back to original. Gun was made in 1971 and never fired. And a fellow had a S&W model 67 I just had to buy...and a fellow gave me a Smolt or Smithon revolver the other day...told me to shoot it and give him a reasonable amount for it. It is a Smith & Wesson model 19 with a Python barrel .Pretty gun

I picked up a fairly matched set of Ruger American Ranch Rifles. One in 7.62x39, the other in 5.56x45. Both are very accurate and I am loading for them both.

Found a nice late-Fifties Ithaca 37 in 16 gauge for the wife. Had to have the stock cut down to an 11.5" pull for her little short arms though.

Adam, you know I flip some of the guns etc that I buy. Fellow gave me a 98 Mauser that was slightly ruined shall we say...as far as military collectible wise. I gave it to a friend with some ammo. He has had some wolf problems lately. So now he has a rifle if they come killing his sheep and goats again. . Yes we really do have a problem or 3 with those wolves all those people from the east and left coasts made us live with. They killed one of a neighbors pregnant cows this spring....on my place though. Looks as though some judge from somewhere else has decided to stop the grizzly bear hunt here and Idaho. The grizzlies continue to hunt humans though.LOL
Ward those ol 37s are nice guns. 16s for some reason are coming back in vogue somewhat.
Since July I have mainly been to yard/garage sales and have found some stuff. Bought a few things at a gun show in Bozeman Mt. Rem 552 22 semi auto for the grand sum of 55 dollars. Yeah it were ugly kinda. And from the same fellow I found a kinda rare 38 cal bullet mold. Single cavity 358 93 Spire point bullet. 15 bucks. New in box. got some other bullet molds for 15-20 bucks each. 5 cans of IMR 4350 powder and 3 H4350. Same lot number in respective brands. Paid 15 dollars for them also. Cleaned that ol Remington up and took a small dent out of the mag tube and it shoots just fine. Friend is refinishing the stock for me now. Grandson will get the gun. Yesterday yard sales 10 boxes of Magtech 9mm 115 FMJ ammo for 7 bucks a box 2 hundred rounds once fired 327 Fed brass for a nickle a piece a box of 32 S&W L Rem ammo for 12 bucks and 2 Burris handgun scopes one was a 3-12 Variable with AO and the other 2-7 Variable AO. Both in the boxes for a killer price. Another garage sale i got a folding bipod for rifles for 50 cents and an ol Iver Johnson single shot 410 shotgun for 50 bucks. The best buy though was a like new Benelli Super Black Eagle camo shotgun with case 5 chokes no manual though for 700 bucks. Like I need another shotgun. Sold the 410 an hour later for 150 bucks. People just want old single shot 410s

[Darkwolf]

Don’t know if “new” describes it but I got an Erma Werk .22 cal M1 carbine

[skeet]

Just got a moldy oldie...traded for an old Winchester M-54 Bolt gun in the late great 30WCF. Don't see toomany 30-30 bolt actions. This one has been drilled and tapped for a scope mount so I can shoot pointy bullets out of a 30-30 with a scope on it.
