Rifles & handguns you own and have owned

I have quite a few guns and rifles, but don't want to list them here. I am particularly fond of high quality shotguns - English, Scottish, Italian, American, or German.

The only pistols I own are a S&W 629 Mtn Gun, a S&W 651 Special, and a Colt 1911 Series 80 Officer's Model .45 ACP.
 
Hmmm, can't remember all I have owned. However, first one was a black powder smoothbore flintlock that I had as a pre-teen. I used to load it with shot to shoot birds with it. Fond memories. The last one is a Ruglin Trapper in .45-70 that I bought last week that is being shipped to my FFL.
 
When i was a boy i was employed by the Government and had a 2 year holiday in Vietnam i had a L1A1 rifle & a Browning HI Power pistol, that i slept with eat with & went to the toilet with, & all the ammo i could shoot, used a M60GPMG , M16, CAR 15, 50 BMG, M79 & used a lot of the other teams guns as well , AK47, SKS, RPD ect & fired them when we had a ammo for them . shot a Thompson 45 sub machine gun, M1 grease gun, M14, 30 M1 carbine, M1911 pistol, M1 Garand, & a old French Lebel rifle & 9MM sub machine gun, we had a lot of fun at the range in the camp with those other guns. i do not have any of these now but would love to have a M14 rifle.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
