I like little pistols too..

Ron Smith · 09-23-2006, 10:45 AM

A few "Pocket" models...

Ron Wood · 09-23-2006, 11:12 AM

Nice collection! I like those little guys too. I have three that I have held on to for years...a 1900 Browning with the early pistol logo grips, a JÃ?Â¤ger and a very early 1907 Dreyse. Just can't bring myself to part with them.

Jack Lawman · 09-23-2006, 11:28 AM

Why don't you close the left door so we can get a better look at the web slung Garand?

Ron,

Excellent use of your old video tape cabinet.
Could you provide a guide to what is displayed for the clueless (namely me)?

Brent B. · 09-23-2006, 02:59 PM

Very nice Ron. I enjoy the little ones I have also. Brent B.

Edward Tinker · 09-23-2006, 03:11 PM

Ron, went to a local auction here in NH, I saw a number of 1910, 1914 and 1934's, I bid on several, but not being knowledgable enough, did not extend my bidding too high. Another p38 member bought a couple. I was interested in the 1920 / police marked ones, they went from $325-$550? I was being careful of money, as I kinda picked up this little one;

Ed

Ron Wood · 09-23-2006, 04:32 PM

Nice pocket pistol Ed. That ought to put a bulge in your overalls. (No wisecracks guys...this is a family forum)

Edward Tinker · 09-23-2006, 04:35 PM

Thanks Ron, if it is older than 1945, its fair game. I have been looking for a 1911 for a while, so when I saw this one....

Ron Smith · 09-23-2006, 06:27 PM

Ed,
Nice Elephant gun.

Russell,

I'll do that tonight when I get home.

Ron Smith · 09-23-2006, 10:22 PM

Russell,

Jack,

The M-1 behind the door is the top one in the photo. A Fulton Armory / Charley Malony custom Tanker Garand in .308. Built with all National Match parts on a Winchester action. Extremely accurate.

Ron

Aaron · 09-24-2006, 01:51 AM

Surely you don't store them just in that flimsy box. Here in the People's Republic they'd be gone from your house in a matter of days. Either people in OR are honest to a fault, or that box gets put in a sturdy safe?

Parabellus · 09-24-2006, 02:38 AM

Wow Ron!

You have gone for these 'little pistols' in a big way.
After a little brousing this evening I came across your batch of Mausers which are clearly part of the group pictured in your VHS cabinet.

I like the M-1s too. Remind me of my trusty M-14 nearly 40 years ago.
Thanks for the displays.

Russell

Ron Smith · 09-24-2006, 09:34 AM

Aaron,

They do get locked in an 5/8" Armor plate ship's safe when unattended.

It also helps to have an Aussie mix with an attitude, and a 90lb Lab mix. Pretty secure "Meth freak" insurance.

Russell,

I do like Mausers. Almost as much as Lugers.

Ron

John Sabato · 09-24-2006, 03:03 PM

Russell, You need a Springfield Armory M1A if you fondly remember your M14... It is a GREAT rifle. (But of course I also love my Garand!)...

Nice pistols too Ron!

Steve Richards · 09-26-2006, 08:22 PM

Ron,

I like your Astra. I have sevral in the "pocket gun" catagory a 300, 3000 and 4000. Right now I am in the process of reblueing a trashed Condor.

The next time I am in Springfield I can bring them by your shop.

Steve

Ron Smith · 09-26-2006, 09:49 PM

Hi Steve,

I would like to see them. I really like the 300s. I have only seen one Condor in the last several years. Not too many around.

Ron

Parabellus · 09-27-2006, 12:36 AM

John,

You are absolutely right (as usual).
I checked the wall at KrausewerK today while I was waiting to start the paperwork on my Mauser C96. Besides a few Garands, Mike has one M1A. The biggest difference between it and a standard M14 is a non-standard flash suppressor and the winged front sight is missing. I have seen others on G-A with correct flash suppressor and sight. Of course there is no selector for full-auto and has only a ten-round magazine as per Kalifornia law. Everything else seems to be GI standard.

Russell
