It was an all day job, but it feels good to get it done. Now I can sleep well knowing they all are protected against Mr. Rust. I do this once a year and haven't had a spot of rust on any gun in 20 years.

Holy crap, thats alot of gats to clean in one sitting!
I just finished cleaning my CZ-75B after taking it out for a run of 500 rounds today. Took me 1.5 hours to clean. |
|
And a 1911 fetish too. :)
The guns I shoot most all of the time are the Wilson Protector, the Sig P220ST and the P229S. |
|
now you need a big bore revolver like a .454 casull or the new .460. full power loads rock and you can always switch to .45LC for plinking.

Nice collection.........BUT, Why do you have to clean them all once a year? If I take a rifle or handgun to the range, I come home and clean it, period. That way I know it is spotless and has a fresh coating of oil except when in actual use.

"Holy crap, thats alot of gats to clean in one sitting!"
Most were already clean. They just needed disassembly and oiling. Now I'm starting to worry about my mags rusting. Most of them haven't been cleaned on the inside in 5-20 years. I'd bet I have 120+ pistol mags and 250+ rifle mags. How in the fook do you clean 370 mags? I'm thinking of just filling a big bucket full of kerosene and dumping all the mags in there and let em soak overnight. Y'all think that would work OK?? Any ideas?? |

That's a sweet collection. I know a few LE agencies that don't even have that many pistols!

Thank you! I mainly only shoot 3 guns on a regular basis and I clean those after I shoot. The others only get shot every few years. |

Thanks guys for the complements. This represents about 25 years of scraping together any extra money I had and buying the guns I love. Most of you guys are probably pretty young compared to me, so you'll get there one day and own all of your dream guns.

Haaahaaaa! I'm an old guy. I can't take those hard recoiling guns anymore. When I was in my 20's, I shot a Model 29 44 mag (full power loads) everytime I went to the range. It would break my hand now. :) |
|
Thanks for the pic. I showed it to my wife and now she doesn't think my "Collection" is that bad.
|
|
Damn, Agent.
That is a very impressive line-up you have there. Very nice indeed. |
|
im waiting for steyr aug to post and put you in your place
just out of curiosity though are you using a wide angle lens? |
|
Thanks man!! I have just a few more that I really desire and I think I'll be done: Mint 1903 Colt Pocket Auto in .380 Mint Older S&W Model 41 Mint 1930's Colt Commercial 1911A1 I'm hoping if I'm patient enough, I'll find these one day at a decent price. |
|
|
Does it still work after you put it back together? |
|
|
Impressive collection....I can only imagine how long it would take me to clean all that....you arent kidding about an all day job
|
|
I'm using a Canon G3 in auto-mode. I can't wait to see Steyer's collection. Please post pics. I love to see people's collections. |
|

+1 No Glocks
+2 Lots of 1911s -1 No USP -1 Not enough wheel guns |
|
Sweet....Heavens....
Yeah I guess being in the OSS means whatever part of "Old Europe" you liked got shipped back to the states. |
|
Food for thought.
Beware of the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it. |
|
Those are my car guns. They are worth less than most of the other autos. If they get stolen, I'd be less upset about those than the other autos. I'd tried to sell them a few times. You're lucky to get $400 for them. For that price, I'll just keep em in my cars. |
|
|
I found myself saying, out loud, "Got one, got one, want one ..." nice work!
|
|
I bought one of the those in the mid-80s, oh man, best the $400 I ever spent, it is one of my fav guns. I've shot more than 10,000 rounds of 22LR thru it. Unfortunately according to S&W's website, the MSRP on those guns is $1,000. |
|
|
Damn that's a lot of guns. Now I really feel small.
Nice collection. |
|
Agent7,
In the early 80's my father took me to visit the Colonel's house and saw that collection too. Amazing just really amazing. If I remember he also had a couple older Rolls and Bentleys in the garage. He had stuff everywhere. Nice pics of his stuff and yours too. |
|
Oh man!!! He had a Rolls that was armor plated and bullet proof. I think the story was it belonged to the Queen of England and she had shipped to the US when she visited in the 70's. They actioned it off and Farley bought it. I rode in that Rolls to Farley's Country Club for lunch the day we toured his house. Did he fire blanks out of the secret agent guns when you visited? He loved doing that. |
|
|
I would sell them all....but 2 and buy an M16 or MP5.
Just a thought! ASO |
