Huvius, thank you for sharing your collection. It's simply outstanding. I'd be thrilled beyond words to have just any one of your pieces. Congratulations -- and if you want to add details on caliber, weight, rifling, etc., that would be icing on the cake. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Not revealing the chamberings (at least!) is cruel and inhuman punishment. Plumb mean!  | |||

Just changed the original post. The little A.H. was originally a 360 but is now a .22 Hornet so not a BPE rifle anymore but does look good with the Dickson.  | |||

Omigosh, a .461 Gibbs!   There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Oh yes! I knew you would like that one Bill! That one is IMO, the very last 461 Gibbs ever made and a super nice gun. My dream rifle is a 461 with Selous plates. I am trying to remedy that though... | |||
