Come in Les Strat

[Bawanna]

Les, why don't ya go down into the basement and find the wierdest weapon you got in the museum and take some photos of it and post em so we got something to talk about around here beside the state of the countries affairs.

Been so long since we talked about what we like to talk about I'm getting burned out and need a recharge.

How about helping me out here? Please

Pretty please with a case of 223 on top?

[les strat]

Sorry B. Haven't been following every thread as closely lately. I will sure do that ASAP. What you want? Weird? Classic? We got em all. Gatling? Sure thing. Parascope trench gun. Yup.

BTW, I been throwing your name out a lot to folks looking for custom grips. Hope some contact you.

[Bawanna]

I might bring down my Dutch Beaumont Vitali rifle and take some pics of it. It's a weird beast. Don't see many of them around. I've never seen a cartridge for one and doubt I'll ever be able to find one.

Very large bore like 11mm or larger but po dunk little case. Giant hollow bolt.

A lot like me a lot different. It's at the top of the rack so Ill have to have somebody get it down for me.

[yqtszhj]

Good idea Colonel. That's why you're the leader.

[les strat]

Shot the pics yesterday. Took lots of shots of whole cases of weapons from WWI & II, old west, spy weapons, etc. Lots of weapon displays from Germany, USA, Japan, Soviet Union from that era. Nothing artsy fartsy.

I used the museum camera, but do not have the specialized USB cable for this camera. If I locate it, I will get them up today.

[Bawanna]

You da man Les. I'm just gonna set here and have no ability and wait for ya. What a joy it would be to route around in your treasure chest.

[les strat]

OK, these are no pro shots... mainly display cases using the museum old POS camera.

[Bawanna]

Dude you totally rock! I so want to come down there for a few months and soak up each of those pieces. I was only hoping for one or two to lighten things up a bit, you gave us 6 months worth of conversation in one shot.

Some incredible stuff there. Since you got several 3 and 4 barrel guns, how bout sending me one, don't matter if it's 3 or 4, either would be sweet.

I gotta get down there man. I thought the Cody Museum was cool and it is but you got major cool there too.

[BEARDOG]

Very cool Les! Thanks for the show.

This just scratched the surface. I didn;t even make it to the basement or in the vault. I wish I had used my camera and they weren't behind glass.

I told you, grand tour, behind the scenes. You just let me know.


Very cool Les! Thanks for the show.

Thanks. Wish I had time for every weapon close up.

[Bawanna]

Maybe you need a janitor to help keep all them beauties all cleaned and oiled up. I do windows, long as they ain't too high, and sweep too.

You didn't respond to my 3/4 barrel question, I'll take that as a NO.

And that's ok.

[TheTman]

Thanks for the pics! I enjoyed them all.

[MW surveyor]

Les - Thanks for the interesting afternoon. Your posting skills are very good!

LMAO, if I could, I would. We have multiples of lots of things, like blunderbusses (blunderbi?) Haha. :19:

[les strat]

I swear I can actually take decent pictures! Here's a few I took last year

Oh sure, a 4 barrel for last. This thread is working good, I haven't thought about politics and stoopid people in over 10 minutes.

I like that knife / bayonet gun too, heck I like em all. That polished up Colt makes my heart sing which is far better than my vocal cords singing.

[tv_racin_fan]

I so want a Nock Volley Gun.
