Reloading Room Pics: Zwei
Gentlemen,
Thought I would include a few pics I failed to post in the first lot. As you might of guessed I just figured out this whole picture posting bit... Didn't take but four years.... sad... very sad... [Wink]

Heres the safe. Picked it up from a bank for moving costs... Tricky part WAS moving the blessed thing... Door weighs 4500lbs and the whole thing weights just over 11,300 lbs... Should have been there the day I started to open the door and it starts to groan and tip forwards toward me... Door caught it, however, I know what fear is....(big grin)

A look inside. Interior was custom built from solid birch...
 -

The top two drawers are Pistols & Revolvers with the middle drawer being my Leica Shrine...(big grin)
 -

And here's my pegboard for storing hearing protection, cleaning rods, and what used to by my Mathews MQ-32...;-) That is heading to Stick early this coming week...
 -

RIFLE, HANDLOADER, SUCESSFUL HUNTER, VARMINT HUNTER. and ACCURATE RIFLE ONLY....(grin) Coffee table whittled out of a modest pile of Cherry some years ago by my older brother... Rescued, and refinished, from use as a Laundry Detergent Holder.

Regards, Matt.

Damn Dude-- That's way nice and cool. I see you have excellent taste in your pistolas. I also love my S&W's. The only Colts that I have on hand are a couple of 1911's and 3 1911A1's. Now, as for Colt revolvers, only 3-- one pristine New Service in 45 Colt and two non cataloged New Frontiers,both in 5 1/2" in 44 Sp and 45 Colt. All the rest of my stuff is FA's and Rugers. [Cool]

475Guy,
Thank you very much. Love those old Smiths...
Most of which were given to me by my older brother or father. I'm kind of a Custom 1911 Nut... Prefer to start with the ones with the little horsey on the side... [Big Grin]

I'm not much on revolvers, however, I lust after Freedom Arms... Will pick one up when the funds allow. Had a chance to buy a very early Premier Grade 7.5" with all three .45 cylinders(Colt, ACP, and Casull). Also included an early FA Holster as well as some of the early factory Tri-plex loads. Offered a friend of a friend $400 more than he paid, which was more than fair, and he choose to wait for a pidgeon... Never came.

Regards, Matt.

Matt--The market is saturated with FA 83's in 454 right now. If you don't mind buying a used one, you could get a pretty good deal. I've got one on hold right now until the guy gets back from the games in the desert. It comes w/45 Colt cyl, 45 ACP cyl which is all I need out this gun. Most FA's advertised seem to be in pristine condition but I've seen some dogs and they were loose as a goose. [Cool] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]
