Cowboy Carbine
The Smith and Wes repeating Arms Carbine was Manufactured and Marketed For that “Good Guy” cowboy . Saving the wagon train with sustained fire and running out of ammo only when there was one guy left, who is than taken out with a fist fight . In those days bad guys would usually pick flat open ground to hide in with a river to charge through at time of attack . The preferred attack plan was to ride up shooting a gun in the air while yipping and maybe shooting a extra . The guns of that day fired a very lightly charged round with no recoil and left a small red dot of blood . Rules where in place that requiring shoulder wounds, which could only come from the back if it was arrow . All ammo was of the semi-painless kind that put you asleep in about 30 seconds , maybe just enough for some last word of encouragement for the hero . The Attacker didn’t have it as easy because the cheap Chinese made saddles issued to them had a stirrup recall , which resulted in their foot getting entangled in his saddle after being shot ,which was a drag because it was very painful . there was a about 100 RD magazine depending on the scene. Target sights could be used to shoot the guns out of the hands of the bad guys if a longer dialog was needed. There was a special ammo for shooting up on cliffs ,that would make the bad guy stand up and dive off when shot . The rifle was in service with the U.S. Cavalry and used in most of the skirmishes in the Native American wars . In the case of the Little Big Horn battle , it was found that the wrong ammo was packed after a pre campaign party left the troops hung over . This rifle is thought to be that very rifle ,but has not been Documented . The valve is estimated in the millions if George Armstrong Custer’s DNA can be found on this weapon. This may not be able to be proven as Sitting Bull was know to take the rifle down from his mantle of his fireplace and pass it around at parties .
Trusty old Thompson
Rare Lever Action
the Collectible Sub Machine Gun
I have always loved the colors of rust, the slower the rust forms the finer the rust is. In the desert the sun, wind and very low amount of humidity makes the best patina (rust) . The desert also fades the paint to great muted colors contrasting the vivid colors of nature.
