Sage Creek Gus SASS #64320 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 An Asperly Aimless. There was a very interesting article on this firearm many years ago in either "Rifle" or "Handloader" magazine. Sage Creek Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball #7709 Life Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 After a Gatling gun (or three, caliber would be a tough choice) I'd say a Stainless Thompson, followed closely by a stainless 87 shotgun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Hooker Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Competition- Cimarron Lightnings with trigger and guard more like the original- I have to curl my trigger finger 'way 'round, and I think it's makin' me "push" my shots left. Barbeque guns- true DA Lightnings with updated mechanism. Hideouts-2" barrel DA as above. All in .41 Colt, unfluted cylinders so I can have proper full scenes engraved, not just scrolls to fit in between. Ivory stocks. Stainless, so I can FINALLY try BP. Cut down coin front sight. Lever gun- stocked up to look like an Indian trade Hawken. Mag tube held in "ramrod thimbles". Shotguns- "Martha, did ya happen to think of my Greeners?". In 16. With hammers. Edit: Just reminded by a post below- Hangun pairs in left/right hand. And barrel sets for the shotgun in coach gun, birding, and waterfowling lengths. Rifle, .41 also, lever to look like fancy trigger guards of old Kentucky/Hawken/et c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Fantasy gun? How about a 30mm Gatling gun...with an A-10 attached! Or, how about 9 ea. 16" naval rifles, with the U.S.S. Missouri attached? I wouldn't mind a Merwin Hulbert .44-40 pocket army. But could really use a sxs hammer double 12 ga. with 28-inch barrels. Also would like to have my OM Vaqueros fitted with XR-3 gripframes and hammers with profiles exactly matching a Colt's SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I like the idea of scrimshawed ivory stocked blue Schofields, full engraving in 44 special with the original gas ring on them with an US made 1873 also in 44 special octagonal-round barrel 22" with full engraving with top grade walnut for the wood with some tasteful carving. A nice pair of Colt 1960s engraved with ivory and since money is no object a pair of 1873 Colts also in 44 Special. A nice little Purdy would go well with these. No nickle on mine, thank you. 'Course I would still take my 1860 Piettas, Uberti 1866 and Baikal to the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowCatcher Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Here's some fun for the hot stove. You have just come into a huge pile of money. You can now afford to have some guns custom made for you. What would you get? Remember, money is no object, so it doesn't have to just be a fancy version of something commercially available. It can be anything you want. Just, since of the forum we are in, "keep it cowboy." Me, there are 3 things I would go out and aquire. 1. A Volcanic pistol 2. A Volcanic rifle 3. A Left Handed Spencer carbine All three guns would be slightly modified from their original design to function with modern .38 S&W ammunition. Any other wishful thinking out there? First thing I'd have built, and using a local Gunsmith I respect, is a Winchester Model 70 featherweight. I'd start with a controlled feed version, have the action true'd and made perfect, along with a 3 pound icicle trigger. Iron peep sights, with a hooded front sight, in caliber .308. I go back and forth on a mag disconnector - I think I'd leave that out - but would want a stripper clip feed machined in. Stock in claro walnut, ultra figured, with fine checkering in the grip and on the fore stock. Ebony grip cap with ivory spacer. Fore-end needes ebony tip to match. Slim recoil pad, but length of pull, rise, comb and over all fit adjusted to my body shape. Want a barrel with crowning that will deliver three shot accuracy of sub-one-inch at 100yds using a 168 - 175 gr spitzer. I want a six to six and half pound rifle that will do everything I need to do on this continent. This one will. Shadow Catcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josey Kidd Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 first off, I'd like a set of perfectly tuned and matching .38 special (not .357) Ruger Vaqueros, with all the liability wording removed, as well as any other stampings on the frame. then blued like the early Colt Pythons were, and the frames casehardened by Doug Turnbull. aged ivory grips , of course. next, a deluxe '73 , custom made by Ruger (durability + USA manufactured), super tuned by Jimmy Spurs, and finished by Turnbull as well. also a '66, also by Ruger, Spurs and Turnbull. lets not forget a new Browning BSS coach gun, with Turnbull treatment. while we are at it, a model '97 , race ready and Turnbull finished. might as well have a trio of gatlings made,...45.70, 30 carbine, and .22LR Festus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backshootin beauford mcgee Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 An Ohio Armory BAR in 30-06 selective fire, with the bipod and a bunch of magazines.

Also, a manufactured in 1958 smith and wesson 44 magnum (pre-29) nickel finshed 4 inch barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just for grins, here's my list if money was no object, not necessarily custom made, but... pair of each of the following ROAs, SS open tops Schofields Original Colts Modern colts Complete cowboy guns in 45 LC, 44-40, already have the .357s Original Winchester 1873 Sharps Gold cup national match Ruger SR1911 Bond derrenger with barrels for 45LC/410, .357, .22LR I guess the only custom I'd get built would be a tricked out left handed AR, while I'm at it might as well have one in .223 and one in .308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
