Lefever Optimus has Damacus Barrels, which hurts but being 10 GA helps...beautiful SXS no matter how ya wana cut the cheese. Classic American Double..

The Swede being 6.5MM is a flat shootin accurate lil muther...it was the BESTEST Mauser sniper ever made . only Q is who made and what year is the scope...AJACK or AGA 42 or 44?

I wish I would have bought a few back when the cmp had them for $550

I just didn't want to need to stock another size round at the time

On my wish list... ;)

That is so beautiful, it almost brings a tear to my eye.

Tabs the Optimus is the holy grail of American shotguns. I have never seen one in person. I have had quite a few LeFevers but never an Optimus. They ARE fine guns. Every one is different. Parts? You need parts? hahahahhahahahahahahah.......

Last Christmas the owner of the gun shop I work at gave us a $500.00 gift certificate to the store. Last year I ordered a winchester M 70 in 22-250. This year I'm ready...I want this.....1858 Remington Conversion .38Sp(7-3/8") Blue Finish, Walnut Grips, Model 1010

Winchester Model 61?

I forgot. I got that gun for free and knew at one time what it was. It's a .22 if that helps.

Couple hand held units, the Glock is gone. it was a 32. 357 Sig, kicked like mule. I like the 1911 much better.

I have one of those. I bought it for $75 at an antique store when I was 10. Got it for my dad for father's day. We put it on lay away so it wouldn't be in the house for him to find. Finally, my mom told me to go pick it up and I did. I walked and carried it about a mile down the main street of our town to the church where my mom's car was parked. No one said a word to me about it. Those were the days.

Great gun, very quiet, accurate and cheap to shoot.

My buddy carries a Glock 32 in .357 sig. It's the only Glock I have ever shot. Was wondering if they all kick like that one does. I thought it was ridiculous. I prefer my 1911 as well.

Christmas present for my Son.

Paul,
Wow! Nice Christmas gift!

My kind of girl.

.357SIG is a hot round and it will kick a lot more in a tupperware gun. I have a SIG P226 with a .357SIG barrel and, while it's very stable and consistent, it has a serious crack and bark to it and it always makes me wince a little when I fire carry rounds. That's why I carry a Glock in .40. It's enough power without being too much for the lighter gun.

One nice thing about the 32 model Glock is, it can be converted to .40 very easily and still uses the same magazines.

I think most guns in one of those calibers take interchangeable barrels. At least you can definitely go from .357SIG to .40; not sure about the reverse. I'm going to range later today and swapping in my .40 barrel because .357SIG ammo is much more expensive and I only have a few boxes of JHPs for it, which are too good for range work.

.357SIG is just a necked-down .40S&W.

Same rim dimensions, same case diameter (except the neck, of course) and cartridge OAL is very similar.

.40S&W -> .357SIG should be a non-issue, though I can't think of a good reason to do so. I would rather have a spoon dedicated to .38 Super.

Very cool Jim. I wonder when that was. And what a awesome weapon.

I don't know how that Stg can be made legal. If it wasn't registered during the '68 amnesty, I don't see how it's transferable. It belongs in a museum. I've heard of some cases around here where some old man died and his widow went to sell his guns and found unregistered MG's that, well, let's just say, remained unregistered and went underground for very little money. The problem with those is like stealing a piece of well-known art. You can't sell it for what it's really worth because there's no legal way to own it. I can't imagine someone using a Stg in a crime. The ammo is hard to find and the gun is worth more (if legal) than you'd likely net in a bank robbery.

it wasn't chicago. the cops would have arrested the old woman, confiscated to gun, and shot a puppy with it.

I got to shoot a full auto one of these a while back at an event sponsored by SIG. Sure was nice to not pay for that ammo.

On my bench.

One day I'll do an 80% 1911

The STG looks like it's in the property room. I guess their giving her a month or so to find paper and if not off to a museum. and dewalt.

a few years back a M14 showed up at a gunstore via a widow here in Socal. That gun got removed from circulation.

I've been offered non papered guns no thanks.

Also there was a widow turn in of a couple hundred WWI rifles and other fun items in Socal. The cops shut down the road in front of the station.
