Featured Gun Posts

My first Featured Gun article wasn't really that, it was more of a story about how the guns were made and how their construction affected the refinishing of them. It was based on the Winchester Model 94 rifles, see it here

I followed that up with the story of the Colt Lightning Rifle in March of 2014, see that post here

The next one wasn't about a particular model of gun, but rather a cartridge: The .44 Magnum. See it here

Another story of a gun, but not quite a Featured Gun article was about the Ruger "Six" line of double action revolvers, see that post here

As the posts evolved I started adding more info and history, this is the story of the Ruger Bearcat from June 2014 

A story about the history and reality of the "Saturday Night Special" 

I covered the story of the Dan Wesson Revolvers, see it here

That same month I covered the history of the H&R 999 Sportsman 

A short post about the Ruger .32 caliber Single Six mini Vaquero, known as the "Vaquerito" 

February 19th, 2015 was my first named Featured Gun article, written about the Ranger model 101.2 Shotgun, see it here 

I followed it up with a story on the WesternField 45 .22 rifle, which I mis-identified as a Mossberg, it was actually a Savage, see the post here 

I did an interesting write up on the history and legend of the Buntline Special in which I may have solved the mystery on where the legend came from, see it here 

The S&W 629 Classic 44 Magnum

This was a bit of a Featured Gun and a gun review on the IWI Tavor

Thanks
