My first gun in Texas.

[Moonpie]

I dunno moonpie...I think those grips would be better on a stainless gun

Ok. We’ll do it your way.

Hey look! OP is still a slacker.

While looking at the unread posits, it showed you posted in this thread, so I came in here expecting to see photos of your 45-70.

*walks away in shame* no not yet

45-70's are fun. I didn't put this on in the least favorite gun thread because I like shooting it. It's light and full house loads hammer my shoulder but still fun.

Texas theme gun.
So simple a Moonpie can do it.

What addiction? I just happen to like to buy guns. Nice ones.

I thought I was bad. I raised 6 children and the 2 oldest boys think they need to buy at least 1 gun a month. But, they are taking good care of their families. I say go for it.

Since OP is a useless pilgrim perhaps he should be shown a weapon from Texas history.
This is a modern reproduction of what is known as a McNelly Sharps carbine.

In the mid-1870’s Capt. Leander McNelly was tasked to clean up the Nueces Strip. This is the area between the Rio Grande river and the Nueces River in south Texas.
Infested with bandits and rustlers McNelly and his troop of Rangers used some hard tactics and Sharps carbines to remedy the situation. The book in the pictures is one of the rangers story.

If you look closely at the picture on the cover of the book you can see a McNelly Ranger with his Sharps carbine and sling.
The original guns were modified 1863 percussion models rechambered in the powerful .50-70.
The originals were marked with a T*S on the barrel.

Since this is sort of a .45-70 and Texas gun thread Moonpie thought it would be fun to show OP wusscake what a real mans gun looks like.
Bowing to modern convenience the repro is in .45-70.

But she is a Sharps.

I am trying to get caught up on missed threads since I just got back to town last night. I saw activity on this thread and came running in thinking @Sam7sf had finally pulled the trigger, so to speak, and bought his 45-70. I guess it’s because he just don’t like me and my recommendations.

No it’s just your fault you couldn’t baby sit me while in a gun store. Totally on you dude.

In that case, we’ll need to find a gun store situated somewhere between us.

I'm glad all of the heat is on you, Sam. I'm going to continue to try to fly under the radar about not having acquired a .44 yet.

 

[Moonpie]

The floggings will continue.

 

[easy rider]

Those are big guns and can be intimidating to some.

You didn’t promise the whole forum your next gun would be what I picked.

 

[SQLGeek]

Well that's true....

 

[Sam7sf]

What can I say I’m the Tyrone biggums of guns. Lol

You would think I’d get more support here! You guys know what it’s like being a gun slut!?

You're small-time until you get up to Moonpie's 2-3 gun a week average.
