Can you guess which way I'm leaning? :bigsmile:


BUY. THE. 50.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

I hate the fact you are buying these when I've fought the urge for so long. It's making it harder to do. Well it would be harder if my wallet was open for buying guns.

Well, the Brunswick arrived a couple of days ago and it looks pretty much like the picture on the IMA website that I posted above.

Here's a pic and a movie showing mine:

There are two types, brass and steel:

This appears to be the steel one based on the handle shape . . . but at this point (uncleaned), brass and steel all look the same. :bigsmile:

Well . . . I'm a frickin' n00b here, without a clue. I'll certainly document some of what I do, right or wrong, but if you want to see something that will keep your interest check out these two restorations, both by the same guy:
