Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Boji,
I know as a pawnbroker that you are extremely knowledgeable but they only made about 500 of them in the mid ‘90s. They are totally obscure ! Highly doubtful that one ever came into the pawnshop.
They were poorly made and company folded.
Stumping you may be futile !
But I’m persistent and VERY impressed !!

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
That was the easiest one. I’d let you in on my research secrets but that would spoil my fun!
Here’s another, I owned this a one time but sold it.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
This is the sound of me crying uncle. I give up.
I have absolutely NO IDEA what this one is and I lack your research secret. I concede !!!!!!
Maybe Treefarmer will recognize it.

I would guess the single shot pistol is a Stevens.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I’m Sittin’ this one out. Trying to think up the ultimate head scratcher to post.
I thought I had it when I posted the Musgrave.
Good luck on this one …….

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Obviously, I need to make this a bit more difficult and complicated. To achieve that goal I have cropped the photo some. Also, it’s a weird one. Here we go …..

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Correct…
Im beyond being impressed. It was a pistol. I’ve never seen one with a stock. Don’t know if it’s factory or a DIY thing.
I’ll still wager an answer on one but I’m done with posting any. I’ve more than met my match. My compliments to the expert.

Don’t remember the model but I think I know that one. It’s fairly recognizable.
22 cal Calico ?? I can’t remember the last time I saw one so I’ll guess it’s no longer made.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I will but I’ll need to find something that presents the Ultimate Challenge !!!!
Trouble is I thought I already found it with the
Musgrave. I’ll keep thinking of something else. And of course you can jump in if you know.
Wouldn’t be fair to exclude anyone.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I had one of these. I Sold it decades ago and regretted it ever since. One I had was in much better condition than the one in the picture.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
This is not related to the preceding Mystery Firearm Posts. I took this photo today and just wanted to share it and mention Smith and Wesson revolvers. All I’ve had time with were nicely made and accurate. This fairly recent rimfire example has been no exception. Back in 1975 I was fortunate to tour their factory in Springfield and it was a memorable experience. For what it’s worth I’ve had no issues with the internal lock on this Model 63 but would prefer it not have it at all. For me 8 shooter makes sense for these .22s. My old Model 17, 5-screw was a lot of steel to pack for 6 rimfires. My Model 34 was sweet piece but again only 6 to go. At the time seemed alright but now I’ll take 8 as it is not appreciably larger for a .22 cal. For their centerfire wheelguns I prefer those model’s designed for 5 or 6 rounds in total. For example if I was after another .44 I’d probably go with their L-frame 5 shot, Model 69.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Correct again ! I’ve heard that Miroku makes excellent high end. shotguns. If I’m not mistaken, the company is Japanese but owned by FN of Belgium.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Most of Browning's shotguns are made by Miroku. As FN is the parent company of Browning.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I’ve visited the John Browning Museum in Ogden Utah a long time ago. I’d like to see it again but it’s not possible. Can’t leave my dog and cats alone and I won’t put them in a kennel. They will never be left in pet prison so that I can travel.
