tennessee was confused too. we held 2 referenda to decide what to do. the first, in february, failed to approve secession 2/1, but the second in june approved it 2/1. east tennessee was unionist, west tennessee was secesh, and middle tn, well, we changed sides. shelbyville, the town i live near, was called "little boston", a unionist island in a secesh county, and considered itself invaded when bragg was here, and again when wheeler passed thru. the federal spy Pauline Cushman was captured nearby and narrowly avoided hanging here, and Andrew's Raiders, of "the great locomotive chase" started in shelbyville. we did a living history event last year for the sesquicentennial (obligatory big word) of the Tullahoma Campaign which went right through town.

ok, now for the purty picture.

A belated welcome. I saw M1 Garand in your post. Triple extra bonus points between that and the Krag.
No picture of the M1?

it's a korean blue sky re-import. it's a mutt-gun, likely lovingly cobbled together by a succession of armorers over the years. the rcvr is december '42, SA, as are barrel and trigger group. oprod is NM, bolt is HRA, stock is aftermarket birch. it's a good shooter.

top break H&R .38 s&w(short) revolver. this was my grandmother's gun. i never met her, as she died about 1930. the story goes like this: during WW1 she served in the US Navy and handled payroll, so was told to carry a gun, so this is what she got. it's in poor shape, not shootable when i got it from my mom. i had a gunsmith try to repair it but he said he couldn't get parts. it appears to need a mainspring and cylinder. :( nevertheless, it's family.

You have a lot of nice pieces in your collection.

Excellent. Nothing wrong with a mixmaster; they're all like that. I have a couple of them, which can be seen over on the 'gun porn' thread: http://www.theliberalgunclub.com/phpBB3 ... start=1050.

m1861.JPG
bad crop, sorry. euroarms US 1861 springfield replica, .58 caliber percussion-fired rifled musket. i used this last weekend at a 152nd anniversary fort donelson reenactment. federal both days. kind of a sad little event, only about 40-50 reenactors on each side, field was muddy, food and facilities poor.

one of my most recent additions:
j. stevens single shot tip-up in .22 short, apparently made between 1880 and 1915. haven't live fired it yet. bore is clean with clear rifling. finish is rough.
and here's the other, phoenix arms hp22. nice, cheap little pistol.
