3556What's the caliber of that lever on the right. Looks like a rimless cartridge.

3557It's in ought 6. They come in 30-40 Craig and .405. When I first spotted it in a group of 7 rifles I bought I was hoping it was in .405 "Big Medicine". This one is a Limited Edition and High Grade.CDFingers wrote: Sun May 28, 2023 11:15 am What's the caliber of that lever on the right. Looks like a rimless cartridge.

I'd almost trade the '94 Trapper for a blued High Grade in .405. I should prolly just order one. Then of course I need a pistol cartridge lever gun. It never stops.

3558It must be neat to watch bunches of rifles go by, then you get to snag the sweet ones.

I got all this;
- Winchester 1895 125th Anniversary Model and
- Lee-Enfield No. 5 jungle carbine
- REMINGTON/MODEL 03-A3
- a beat up Ruger 10/22
- a pristine Winchester Model 67 22 short
- a beat to heck Ariska short stock rifle you can't even read the stamp or caliber
and assorted ammunition some of which is AP '06 and lots of .22 sub sonic stuff and three scopes.
The guy just gave his son the M1 Garand. He is retired Army and marksman trainer. Just wanted pistols and no rifles. I almost felt guilty taking them all.

3561I love your western guns; but it really like that table - it’s a show stopper. I can’t have nice looking things (not counting things that get locked up in a safe) because of my small children.tonguengroover wrote:Western Wear

3562Speaking of Serbia - I have this guy on the way, Should be here Tuesday/Weds. Crown jewel in my Zastava collection for now … I’ve always wanted a limited edition gun with a fancy display box. Im still probably going to shoot it, but likely not carry it so it won’t get holster wear.

The table is mesquite from a shop in Tubac Az that just sells mesquite. Very western in itself with the live edge. We've waited forever to get one.

I bought a custom farmhouse dining table and had to wait a year. However, it’s marked up, dinged & has one of the legs chewed by our dog when she was a puppy; but solidly bombproof for our large family.

CZ 99 is the model number - it’s a Zastava (Serbia).
It’s a common point of confusion.
Owning both CZs and zastavas I’d say the fit & finish on CZs is definitely nicer. However I’ve never owned anything but 40 - 50 y/o surplus Zastavas so we’lol see once I get a new one …?

3569In honor of Memorial Day and the veterans out there who used this mighty weapon. She's a straight shooter too.
Here's the Rem 1903a3 I picked up in the rifle buy. She's in pretty good shape for being bred in '43

3571I was spurred to action by the impending signing of WA's HB 1240; and ended up purchasing a stripped lower with my background check clearing about three minutes before the bill was signed. I took it to the range last week with pleasing results. Upper is a BRN 180 in 7.62 x 39; Midwest Industries Side Folding Stock,
LaRue two stage trigger, Primary Arms SLX MD-25 red dot, Geissele's Standard Lower Parts Kit, and a magpul trigger guard.
I'll be adding a better grip and a sling down the road and maybe some magnification.

My cz999 arrived yesterday. Hopefully I’ll get it to the range next week. I like how the slide release/decocker is the same control.

I figured with the slide engraving, engraved grips and engraved wood box, I’d be well over that anyways on what is essentially a $400 gun - otherwise. Hard to find anything like this in a factory offering anywhere. Plus as a collector of Zastavas I couldn’t resist.
Small surplus shop called red star surplus - done a good amount of business with them.
ETA:
Zastava CZ999; are hard to find at all, much less in new condition. The last one I saw was $400 and was a rode hard surplus gun with only line 50% of its original finish. Even the polymer framed EZ 99s are hard to find.
