The Garbage man's last stop

Snowwolfe asked to see more pictures of my 500NE
La Armeria De Madrid. Rather than hijack Cal's trash, I'll start my own.

Here's the 500NE. Please take note of the Woodleigh softs loaded for both rifles pictured, the only DR bullet!

And my vintage 1892 Charles Osborne 450-.400 3-1/4"

I love that bolino engraving on your .500 and your Osborne is quite lovely too.However they are most likely both complete trash. You should send them to me for disposal.

That still is a beautiful rifle Steve! The Osborne is still is my favorite one of your garbage though.

The most beautiful asset a rifle can have is how it shoots-I have smartened up in life.From now on if the rifle can shoot it will get a nice case and if it can do everything else it will be engraved.

When it comes to rifles I am not shopping for jewelery.I have spent many cold lonely days at a shooting range to be able to appreciated a rifle that can shoot.If it cant shoot and keep on shooting for a long time without issue then it is garbage to me.I may have done things wrong in the past but I have smartened up in life.

I'm a bit jealous here. You have commented on Nygana's thread but not mine. I'm hurt. I even posted a rifle of yours!

Thorns in fingers and hands, cuts in arms and legs, blisters in feets, happiness in me.
