What gun did you buy today?

[Txdweeb]

I've been waiting for at least 2 years for Beretta to tell me mine is finally in and ready for me. I've given up on them. Congrats, that's the one to get.

Thank you, hope you don’t have to wait much longer.

I picked up this Walther OSP in .22 short yesterday.
Paul Dinant was a marksman back in the 60's to 80's in California.
He once held a national rifle record for many years.
The "engraved" name on the grip is actually gold lettering protected by a clear coat.

I picked up this Walther OSP in .22 short yesterday.

When the ISSF Men's Rapid Fire Pistol rules changed making all those .22 short pistols useless, I expected prices to drop. They did in Europe, though not as far as fast as I thought they would since some clubs kept using the old rules.

I never saw one in the USA offered for sale at a price reflective of their usefulness for any purpose, i.e. nothing. Everybody wanted to sell bit everybody also wanted to get their money out of their pistol.

These days I have to wonder how many of that type of pistol are sitting in the backs of closets, waiting to be disposed of in estate sales.

The whole situation is sad and frustrating.

I hope you got a good price but even if you overpaid, that's one of those guns that thrills you with it's craftsmanship and design every time you pick it up. Congratulations.

BTW - Is that one of the pistols for which a practice string trigger group was available? If it was, did you get it? That would be so, so neat.

870 trade in. Will have about $340 in it total

I bought the gun bare. Just pistol and magazine.
Yes I got it for a great price.

Had the high bid on a CZ 457 Royal this morning. It is new in the box. It is a bolt action in 22 LR.

It’s interesting when they milled the forend that they got the slots off center. I guess everyone has a bad day at work even pre 1960s

Another .45, of course.....

Local guy selling it....belonged to his grandfather - said he didn't like it, so I gave him the "I don't like it" price.

Some people are just lucky, nice find.

Keltec Sub2000 gen II 9mm pcc (pistol caliber carbine)
Light, folding, packable that has higher velocity than handgun and better accuracy. Something to hangup locked inside the tornado shelter!

Nice! My favorite hog gun for south texas.

 

[10-96inTexas]

Picked up this Colt Trooper. It's in pretty good shape for it's age but does have some rust? and minor pitting ? in several spots. Any idea what's the best way to clean it up without harming the finish?

 

[edub]

Copper penny, copper brushes, copper point made out of copper pipe. Different tools for different spots.

Would Renaissance wax work?
