Coming back after a long time

Post by baldabe » Thu Feb 27, 2014 7:57 am

I was away from this forum for a long time. Please check out my new gun room and collection at http://baldabe.imgur.com/
Thanks for looking and please let me know what you think.

Very true TC. I got rid of a lot of guns and bought a whole bunch more. Now with the support of my lovely wife, I have a 'gun room" where I can safely display my firearms.
I actually have a couple more that I have not displayed yet.
Thanks for the welcome back.

Waiting to see the unseen ones :D
Well, I am lucky too on the home front.... just that I have to seek permission to carry out day-long projects on Sundays. Sure, you know what I mean. 8)

Thanks Briha and TC.
I am waiting for some parts of the Henry 22 lever action to be refinished and I am refinishing the stock myself. The sights for it are already on hand, Skinner peep sights in Blue steel and brass. The other is a UTAS-15 shotgun, bullpup style, 12 gauge, 14+1 capacity. That is being shipped as we speak. Then have to work on the display pins and rearrange the firearms.
Regarding Sunday day long projects.... that is a sore point with my wife too. But overall its is all good.

What a Coincidence ! I am also working on a similar project ... and much much older than your Henry. Its supposed to be a surprise that I promised to some of the forum members. Just hope to finish in time and put up here.
The UTAS-15 sounds real action to me :D
Best wishes for both

TC

PS Skinner peep sights in blue and brass .... now that's a classy look :D

TC,
Looks like we have very similar tastes. The Skinner sights look very nice. I am looking forward to putting that together. I actually prefer the "cheap" Henry's feel to my much more expensive Browning BL22 which I sold.
Look forward to seeing pictures of your project.

Welcome back baldeb,

A gun room in TO - excellent idea! I especially like the brass that you have used as hand gun supports on the wianscotting. :D
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!

Yes Baldabe, I think we have very similar taste. Yes, the Henrys, especially the old ones look more period than the Browning lever actions, or the Marlins.
Looking forward to seeing the brass and blues all dressed up :)

Thanks for the comments and welcome CKKALYAN and PRASHANTSINGHJI,
I will take better pictures outdoors later when the weather is better. I am not a very imaginative person when coming to pictures. The brass casings I used as supports are actually 500 S&W empty cartridges.
