Description
As is a trend on a few firearms forums I frequent, I decided it was time I got them all out for a group photo... and as a way to procrastinate on taking good individual pictures, which I'll eventually get to. However here they all are. Every one unique with it's own history.

Top to bottom;
------------------------------------------
J.C. Higgins 583.17, saved from neglect as just a barreled action, missing parts, crafted by my own hands their replacement. Slayer of clays, head-turner at the trap.
'58 Norinco SKS, never fired before my hands, my own little 'brand new' slice of russian minimalist design. Can be broken down with no tools, simplistic internals.
'43 Tula m19-30 w/ '43 PU optic, replica mount, bolt bent by a friend of mine. My mutt of a rifle, no matching numbers, who cares, fires true... as I can... at 500m.
AR-15, bought piece by piece, scavenging sales and clearances, blemished parts, whatever I could find. Assembled by me, for me. Any optic I buy will outstrip the guns cost.
Pietta 'New Army' 1858 replica, converted smooth bore cylinder for .45 Long Colt. All my own work, first firearm I owned, first one I could not stop tinkering with. Handloading Blackpowder shells is fun.
Remington Patn. 1858 'New Army' mfg. 1862 [accounted for by serial number]. Yeah... Still make it a point to put 6 down range every range trip with her.

Buster Sword for scale.
