briango’s nice saddle pic with his rifle got me going so here are a few of mine. I’m not sure if I’ve posted them here before or not, but if so, sorry.
First one was 38-56 from the factory but someone changed the barrel to a 40-65 so I had it re-bored to a 45-70 and I use it to kill wounded deer on the highway, etc. I like the way it looks:

This next one is a 40-82 and was found under a rail road trestle just out side of Malta, Montana in the early 1900s. The Wild Bunch did a robbery there. I know, I know, it's probably BS but that's what I was told. Another 100 years and it will be a fact, eh? 😛

This last one is a 45-90 with a 28" barrel. I bought it cheap at a gun show in Salt Lake back in the early 90s:

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!!!
I have an old Marlin in 38-55. Came from south Texas. It has 6 notches cut into the wrist area of the stock……..Was it owned by a Texas Ranger and these were the end of 6 bad guys? Or was it owned by a rancher and these notches represent deer? Only God knows……..But I know what I tell my grandsons…..And it weren’t deer!

Nice to see well used but well cared for rifles. Good back drops.

Thanks, Folks. I’m sorry that I don’t have 50 or 60 more Winchesters to show you.

Looks like you have some legit cowboy/western guns there. If they could only talk of course! Thanks for sharing. I need to get a western gun in the collection someday.

James . . . . nice guns and nice photos. I like the cartridge belts. Go well with the guns. 🙂
When I can’t afford to easy my addiction with "more guns" . . . . I take the "edge off" by buying more leather and old west costuming.
I need to get it all out and do a photo of the leather collection.
