A few friends and I play a game where we send each other a close up picture of a part of a gun to see if we can accurately identify it. It is a useful exercise in that it encourages us to pay attention to details.

Can you identify these guns?

Either you guys are very smart, or it was too easy? Ill go with the former, since most of my friends don't get as many right! Here are the answers:
  1. BRNO vz. 24 Mauser
  2. Webley Mark VI (1941)
  3. Ruger No. 1 (1985)
  4. Colt Python 6” (1971)
  5. German Nazi Mauser K98 (1940)
  6. Colt 1911 (pre A-1) (1916)
  7. AyA No. 2 (1968)
  8. Luger Artillery (1917)
  9. Webley & Scott Model 700
  10. Freedom Arms Pre-Model 83 Premier Grade
  11. Rigby Highland Stalker (2017)
The only ones that stumped you gentlemen were numbers 9 and 10!
 
Yeah. #10 I did not think the rear sight matched Ruger but I had nothing else to suggest. What year is the VZ24? I forgot to call it that. After the war, the refurbished ones were just called model 98 I think unless they still had the VZ24 stampings.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
