You sir are a sick, sick man. So sick as a matter of fact that I have called the wife over to show her that not only do I not have a "problem"...but what indeed a true "problem" actually looks like :eek:.

'K, she's gone, thanks for posting Bud I'm good for at least 2 more purchases this year thanks to you :).

{just kidding :p}
 
Interesting locker you have Griaguns.

If you feel inclined I would really like to see individual photos of your Starr and Sharps carbine.

P.S.

This sounds rather interesting.

'Star Carbine Issued to the 1st Arkansas 1861 martially and regimentally marked.'
 
Individuals and close-ups of most or all would be greatly appreciated by those of us less fortunate.

It would be a lot o work, no doubt, but anything you care to do WILL be appreciated.

MOST impressive line-up!

They would be Stateside, but not here. Friggin' shame it is too.
"manufactured before 1898 that can discharge centre-fire cartridges (whether with a smooth or rifled bore), have a bore diameter of 8.3 mm or greater, measured from land to land in the case of a rifled bore, with the exception of a repeating firearm fed by any type of cartridge magazine;"

The only one that doesn't meet that standard is the 7mm Rolling Block. All others are CDN. antique.
 
Wow that is a great collection!

I would really love to one day find a nice solid shootable sharps rifle in my price range.

All you need is a snider and a martini then I believe you will have near everything covered ;)
