Well, the model 75 thread went over pretty well.
And……I was back in the safe this morning and I thought I’d snap a couple of pics of this whole group together. Now I know some members here have some enormous slide action collections. Let’s see ‘em…

OK, but there will be no droolin’. The 2nd from the top, ser#601805 I brung home from Ohio show. The little straight grip c.c.’d 2nd mod. ser#68850 just arrived in the mail today from Austin’s guns. There’s more coming next week, ser#277062, a minty plain pistol grip stock in w.r.f. and I’m hoping another nice 1st. model in .22long

I’m thinking it’s pretty safe to say that Henry has the market cornered on the model 1890!
Thanks for sharing, Hank!

Ok Hank,
Rumor has it you like to make trades. I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse….
I’ll take any one of those 1890s of your choosing….
In exchange you’ll get:
1. A 1968 model 94 (Real shiny..) .30-30 I call her Ol’ Pot Metal. The action rattles like an old windmill, but she’s good for a 5 MOA group at thirty seven yards all day long…
2. A couple of nice reproduction Winchester ammo crates…. Straight grain pine. Like new. Mice are gone….
3. One JC Higgins gun cleaning kit (all calibers) Looks hardly used as several of the brass bore brush bristles aren’t flat yet.
I’ll PM my mailing address for the 1890 😉

George, That pine ammo crate sounds interesting, but You’de need to find and put the original mice back in it, then get the appropriate wildlife export/import permits to get them out of the U.S. and in to Canada. Just like the firearms though, the paperwork’s a bi#$%
. I see there is a 1890 shipping crate on gun broker , item#1210037701, it’s pretty rough though and been on there for some time. It would be nice to have a decent one, even better, a full one.

Awww Henry, getting those original mice back won’t be much of a problem. I believe they’ve just moved a little ways and taken up residence in the air cleaner of my wife’s vehicle. Probably should get them out of there before they penetrate the firewall anyway. (what’s the exchange rate on mice?)
Now…..Getting across the Canadian border is another story. I’ve hunted up in Saskatchewan several times. When you roll up to that border with guns, those guys are all business, and rarely crack a smile…..not even during the cavity search. BUT……..on the way back down from Canada, all they want to do is see your big antlers and pat you on the back! Kinda confusing isn’t it????

Great guns fellas, thanks for showing them off!
I don’t have all my slide actions in one place, but here’s a cabinet with a few in it. Disregard the other “junk”.

Don’t have any slide action 22’s. But here is a family of 86’s. Only one missing from the group picture was the SRC. He showed up late as always. Thinks he is special because he a 45-90. Gonna have to take him out hunting this year and let him feel the cold, might straighten him out.

Glad the SRC showed up, Tom. Hopefully his taller siblings will be able to keep him in line. Cold weather hunt sounds like a good plan, too.
Nice Group!
