Very unique buttstock!

35 Rem doesn't get much love these days, but it's an awesome short range deer cartridge.

Dropped many-a-deer with my 70's Marlin 336 lever .35cal.
Great brush/swamp gun !!

Nowadays if it ain't pushing mach 4, and you can't hit something 2 miles away with it, nobody wants it.

A few years ago a company in the Philippines started to manufacture a 1911 clone. The name brand of the pistols it Rock Island. Their US corporate office is in Pharump, Nevada. Rumors abounded about the source of the tooling they used to make the guns; a common rumor was they were using old Colt Tooling. Who knows? Rock Island has never answered the question!

This is a compact .45; the shop I bought it from is in Las Vegas - I probably have bought 6 Rock Islands from them so they surprised me with the custom laser engraved stocks! They were a stocking dealer and would take RIA Pistols to gun shows and after 3-4 gun shows they would put the firing pins back in them and sell them for a good discounted price. RIA treats them as a "new" gun so they are covered by the factory warranty.

Rocks are good for the money!

Traveling yesterday so I didn’t post anything.

Here’s a Colt 1901 in .38 Colt aka .38 Long Colt, a rather anemic round. It was instrumental in helping to usher in the .45 acp. The ammo is period correct from the Frankfort Arsenal.
