Projects Update

 I have been promising some new restoration projects and am finally working on guns again. The shop is finished, the work loft is ready, and I have one gun on the bench about to blued.

Uncle Mikes Winchester model 94 is ready to be blued and probably will have been finished by the time you read this

My Ruger 50th Anniversary Mark II is complete and ready for restoration

My Winchester model 74 project has already been started, the stock is done, I will focus on the metal parts next

And I have added a bunch more projects, I was gifted some firearms from a retired and deceased gunsmith. These guns were not able to be returned to their owners. The list includes:

Reminton model 6 Rolling Block in 22 LR

Connecticut Valley Arms .50 Cal muzzle loader

Remington model 10-T 12-gauge shotgun

Three (3) .22 autoloaders that I have not yet identified

One (1) bolt action .22 that I have not yet identified (looks like a Marlin)

One (1) single shot, shotgun not yet identified

Best of Theme Guns: Luxury Brands #1

 Versace, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Supreme, you name it, people want the best and most expensive items....the most coveted.... or at least be seen with those brands...Conspicuous consumption I think is how one scholar put it.

Many of these items are so ridiculously expensive that there is a massive black market in counterfeit items.

None of these companies have made or commissioned guns, but there are plenty of guns modified with these brand names.
