**NEW ADDITION** SMOF5086 - PRE-SERIES 70 COLT NATIONAL MATCH GOLD CUP MODEL 1911A1 PISTOL SERIAL NUMBER 24565 NM. CALIBER 45 ACP. Colt’s Patented Firearm company entered into an arrangement with the firearms designer John M. Browning in the late 1800's for the design of automatic pistols. Between 1900 and 1910 Browning designed and Colt manufactured the Model 1900, 1901, 1903 Pocket, the 1903 hammerless, and 1905 and the 1908 pistols. Mr. Browning and Colt began to develop an automatic pistol for the U.S. Army, to replace the Colt double action revolvers then the Army’s standard side arm. The result was the Colt Model 1911 in 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) , the most widely recognized and copied pistol in the world. The Model 1911 (and its product improved offspring the 1911A1) equipped the U.S. Army till replaced by the Beretta M9 in the 1980's. Colt continued the manufacture of this pistol until a few years ago.

In the 1960’s Colt offered the shooting public and accurized version of this pistol, and called it the National Match Gold Cup. It was the same basic design but with much tighter fitting of the various critical parts. These pistols have always been favorites of the pistol shooter looking for the most accurate out of the box automatic pistol they can find.

This pistol was made about 1968 and comes with the original box and the factory test target. The finish would rate about 98% with just a hint of wear from the box. The bore is bright, the checkering on the grips sharp, and the action tight. The pistol came out of collection of gentleman who insisted on having two three of every pistol, but rarely shot any of the many guns he owned. The pistol has seen little use since it left the factory. $1995.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** SMOF5087 - SMITH & WESSON 38/44 OR HEAVY DUTY REVOLVER. SERIAL NUMBER 45075 CALIBER 38 SPECIAL (HEAVY DUTY LOAD) The Smith and Wesson Company have been the main supplier of revolvers to law enforcement agencies for more than 100 years. In the early 1930’s as the likes of John Dillinger and Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, robbed their way across the Midwest, police began asking for a more powerful cartridge capable of penetrating a car body, or cracking and engine block. Colt responded with the Colt 38 Super automatic. Smith & Wesson took their proven large frame revolver (the N frame made in 44 special), increased the muzzle velocity of the 38 special round, and called it 38/44 or the Heavy Duty. It was an immediate success with law enforcement officers and continued in production until the 1950’s. S&W used the same concept when they introduced the 357 magnum revolver in 1935. The 357 magnum was based the 38 special cartridge loaded to higher velocity. The Heavy Duty revolver was often referred to as the “poor man’s 357”.

This revolver was made sometime in the early 1930. It has seen some use but the action is tight. The bluing would rate about 90% with wear on the high edges and some fading on the right side plate. The bore is bright. The grips are replacements from the 1950’s. The Heavy Duty is an interesting collecting area for those interested in law enforcement. $900.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** SMOF5155 - COLT GOVERNMENT MODEL (COMMERCIAL VERSION OF THE MODEL 1911) SERIAL NUMBER C87373 CALIBER 45 ACP Colt’s Patented Firearm company entered into a collaborative design arrangement with the firearms designer John M. Browning in the late 1800's. Between 1900 and 1910 Browning designed and Colt manufactured the Models 1900, 1901, 1903 Pocket, the 1903 hammerless, and 1905 and the 1908. During this time Browning and Colt began to develop an automatic pistol for the U.S. Army, to replace the Colt revolvers that were the Army’s sidearm. The result was the Colt Model 1911 in 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), the most widely recognized and copied pistol in the world. The Model 1911 (and its product improved offspring the 1911A1) equipped the U.S. Army till replaced by the Beretta M9 in the 1980's. Colt began selling the pistol to the civilian population shortly after it was adopted by the military. The excellence of the design is shown by the large number of “clones” still in production such as Kimber, Wilson, etc.

This pistol was made sometime in 1916. It has all the correct parts for a pistol of this vintage including the magazine and barrel. It was restored to perfect factory new condition sometime in the past and the finish would rate about 99% with just a few scratches. Overall condition is excellent. $1495.00 (View Picture)

SMF3838 - FN BELGIUM / BROWNING BDA-380 IN 380 SERIAL NUMBER PR02081. The action is single/double semi-auto with a 3.82 inch barrel, alloy frame, steel slide and 13 shot staggered magazine.

**SOLD** SMF3582 - GLOCK MODEL 27 IN 40 CALIBER SERIAL NUMBER DLY458US. Glock pistols feature an excellent combination of reliability and accuracy. Their high-tech engineering and construction create a handgun that can stand up to the punishment of even the most unforgiving conditions. The Glock pistol's Safe Action trigger system offers distinct benefits over conventional trigger systems, with increased smoothness and consistency. Glocks have almost 50% fewer components than conventional handguns of the same caliber. Glock handgun frames are made of a virtually indestructible synthetic that is stronger than steel, yet 86% lighter. Glock pistols can withstand temperatures ranging from - 40 F to +158 F and still come out firing. Metal Glock components are finished with a unique surface treatment called Tenifer that makes those parts virtually as hard as a diamond and even more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. Glock handguns are designed with a natural grip angle that complements instinctive shooting. The ergonomic frame design features a bore axis and weight distribution that ensure a controlled shot, even under the most adverse conditions. The polymer frame gives a much softer recoil than that of conventional guns and the barrel has hammer-forged rifling for increased velocity and greater accuracy. The 27 is Glock's small .40 caliber designed for self-defense and concealed carry. Pistol is in excellent (like new) condition with a mirror bright bore. Comes with one Glock brand 9 round magazine. $465.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4791 - 10029 - DUMMY 9MM LUGER P08 PISTOL Serial number 7606 matching with crown over Erfurt on the toggle and 1918 date and 1920 reissue date on the chamber. Extremely detailed solid casting in a black plastic type material the exact size of the original. Displays very nicely as is or you can pick up some model maker paints at your local hobby shop and paint the grips a dark walnut brown color, and straw color on the springs and safety and aluminum base on the magazine to make it look even more realistic. The material used is somewhat brittle, so these are not playthings, but display dummies. Tip of trigger has been broken off but hard to tell unless you look carefully. Great for display where you don't want to take a valuable gun out and risk damage or theft. Sold as a collector display piece, not a toy. If there are goofy state or local prohibition against stuff like this without markings to identify them as toys, we cannot sell to you. Don't complain to us, complain to the politicians that got elected, or work to get rational people elected instead. $55.00 (View Picture)

SMF3010 - STAINLESS STEEL RUGER REDHAWK 7.5 INCH 44 MAG REVOLVER SERIAL NUMBER 502-90637. Except for the Super Redhawk, The Ruger Redhawk is one of (if not the) strongest 44 magnum revolver on the market today. Revolver comes with white outline rear and red ramp front, adjustable sights and custom Pachmayr grips. This revolver is in like new condition with a bright shiny bore and has the factory slots for Ruger scope mounts, it would be an excellent choice for the 44 Magnum enthusiast who wants Ruger's strength and quality of workmanship without the added weight of the Super Redhawk. $450.00 (View Picture)

SMOF3494 - STAINLESS STEEL COLT GOLD CUP MKI SERIES 80 NATIONAL MATCH IN 45 ACP SERIAL NUMBER SN22869. Colt introduced the Gold Cup National Match Automatic in 1957. The Gold Cup was designed to offered competitive shooters a pistol which was accurate enough to go straight from the dealer`s shelf to the match competition firing line. Every Gold Cup pistol came from the factory fitted with specially hand-fitted parts (every metal to metal contact part was hand honed, hand fitted and hand finished), reduced slack between barrel and slide, adjustable spring-fed trigger stop, wide grooved trigger, adjustable square notch rear sight, flat mainspring housing (arched optional), deeply serrated receiver face for firm grip, specially designed extractor to eliminate damage to empty cases, flat grooved slide rib, improved (enlarged) ejection port, more positive (larger) slide serrations and beautiful royal blue finish on sides with the remainder sand blasted to reduce glare.

Colt introduced the Gold Cup MKI/Series 70 National Match in 1970. Series 70 Colt Gold Cup pistols incorporated Colt`s "Accurizor" barrel and bushing which used a spring-steel, "finger collet" bushing that gripped the end of the barrel, which had also been slightly redesigned with a slight belled end to accommodate the collet bushing. The new "Accurizor" barrel and bushing was intended to improve the intrinsic accuracy without sacrificing reliability.

Colt introduced the Gold Cup MKI/Series 80 National Match in 1983. Series 80 Gold Cup pistols incorporated a new firing pin safety system that made use of a small plunger located inside the slide to block the firing pin against movement, thus preventing the pistol from discharging accidentally should the pistol be dropped or hit hard while fully loaded with a round in the chamber. Two small sheet-metal levers working alongside the trigger pushed aside the plunger, which would then free up the firing pin to fire the weapon once the trigger had been deliberately depressed. Around 1988 it was decided that the collet bushing wasn`t all it was cracked up to be, as there were a few reports of the bushing fingers breaking in use. In addition, it was felt that modern CNC manufacturing techniques had allowed tighter factory tolerances with the older solid bushing setup. As a result the original mil-spec barrel and bushing configuration was reinstated.

This Gold Cup was manufactured after 1983, it has the correct Elliason type adjustable sights series 80 type safety system and Colt diamond checkered black wood grips. The pistol is in like new condition, and comes with the original Colt brown wood grain box and papers. $1295.00 (View Picture)

SMF2032 - S&W MODEL 5906. S&W Model 5906. Smith and Wesson double action stainless steel 9 MM.

SMF3334 - STAINLESS STEEL RUGER GP-100 SIX INCH REVOLVER IN 357 MAG SERIAL NUMBER 172-71302. The GP-100 represents significant improvements over other double-action revolvers available today. Frame widths are increased in critical areas that support the barrel and both frame sidewalls are solid integral sections of the frame, offering additional strength and rigidity. Cylinder-locking notches are offset and cut into the thick part of the cylinder walls between the centers of the chambers rather than directly over them. In its firing position, the cylinder is securely locked to the frame in two places: at the rear by the traditional cylinder pin, and at the front of the crane by a large, unique spring-loaded latch. This helps ensure proper cylinder and barrel alignment for optimum accuracy. The GP-100 can be field stripped to it`s basic components in seconds for cleaning without the use of tools. This revolver is in excellent (like new) condition with an excellent bore. Comes with heavy barrel with full length lug, special Ruger rubber cushioned grips with polished Goncalo Alves wood inserts, adjustable white outlined rear and interchangeable red ramp front sights. $450.00 (View Picture)

Modern Long Guns

**NEW ADDITION** SMF4656 - TARUS MODEL 62 SLIDE - ACTION CARBINE IN 22 LR SERIAL NUMBER VL7938 The Taurus Model 62 slide-action .22 Long Rifle carbine is a faithful reproduction of the legendary design of the classic Winchester Model 62 that John Browning invented and American shooters fell in love with over 60 years ago. The Model 62 fires popular .22 LR ammunition and holds 10 rounds. This gun looks, feels and shoots like the original, with the addition of modern safety and manufacturing. The Model 62 features a manual safety, the Taurus Security System and stocks of the finest woods. The fully adjustable sights allow for accurate shooting. The rifle is in excellent condition with an excellent bore. $250.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** SMOF5067 - 17026 CUSTOM TARGET WINCHESTER MODEL 69 .22 RIMFIRE BOLT ACTION RIFLE Serial number (none) with 25 inch standard length barrel. The Model 69 was introduced in 1935 as an intermediate weight all purpose .22 rifle using a detachable magazine. This was a step up from the “beginner” single shots, and offered with various sight or scope mount combinations intended for hunting or target use. The Model 69 was a very successful design with over 355,000 sold between 1935 and 1963. This example is a very early one with the early style stock having a slimmer forend and the takedown screw protruding below the stock.

It has been nicely customized with checkering on the grip (handsomely executed heavy pattern), white line spacers and a black forend tip with white spacer. The little rifle has an adjustable rear Lyman #55 peep sight and target type front sight, as well as Unertl scope blocks on the barrel. Finish is about 90% with a little wear on the edges and some small areas of pitting on the outside of the barrel. Bore is excellent. This is a good example of the classic bolt action .22 that most every boy (outside of the big cities) had by his teen years. The nicely done customization make the rifle look like a high grade European sporter. We sell all guns as collector items only, but if approved by your gunsmith, it should be a fun rifle to shoot and it would make a good target gun, or a plinker. $295.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** SMOF5096 - WINCHESTER MODEL 63 .22 SEMI-AUTO RIFLE SERIAL NUMBER 18863A, MADE ABOUT 1937. The Model 63 was a very slightly modified version of the Winchester Model 1903 rifle, which had enjoyed only limited sales due to the needs for special .22 Winchester Automatic ammunition. The Model 63 used the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle ammunition, and became a popular gun right from its introduction in 1933. By the time sales ceased in the 1960s some 175,000 had been sold. This example is one that suffered from poor storage. The exterior finish had some surface rusting which was removed and then re- finished to make it more respectable looking. There is a crack in the butt extending back from the receiver, but it does not seem to effect function at all. Excellent bore. We sell all guns as collector items only, but if approved by your gunsmith, it should be a good a plinker. $325.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** SMOF5174 - 17538 - COLT AR-15 SP-1 SEMI-AUTO VERSION OF THE M16 (VIETNAM ERA STYLE) .223 caliber - Serial number SP1 83144 made around 1977 as far as we can figure. This is the civilian semi-auto only version of the Vietnam era M16 made before they added the forward assist to become the M16A1. This has the “bird cage” type flash hider, triangular handguard, trap in the butt for cleaning rod and triangular handguards. This has been fired little and cared for well. There is very minor finish wear on the tip of the flash hider, the front sight ears, and a couple of tiny scratches, and a few small scrapes on the plastic buttplate. At first glance this will pass for new, and the piddling defects noted require a close inspection to notice. Comes with one Colt 20 round magazine. This is an excellent representative substitute for a Vietnam era M16 rifle (which is basically unaffordable and unobtainable to most collectors). In an emergency, it could serve as a good home defense weapon as well, assuming your gunsmith approves it as safe to fire- we sell all guns as collector items only. $1200.00 (View Picture)

**SOLD** SMOF5116 - 17388- ISRAELI AIR FORCE MODIFIED ARMALITE AR-7 SURVIVAL RIFLE - Serial number B1335, .22 Long Rifle caliber semi auto. Eugene Stoner, the genius behind the AR-15 and M16 invented the Armalite AR-7 survival rifle and it was made by Armalite from 1959 to 1973. When originally made, it had a brown, then black and eventually multi-colored plastic (actually nylon similar to that used in the Remington Nylon 66 series) buttstock that the rest of the rifle would fit into, and it would float. The basic design has continued in production almost continuously, and after Armalite ceased production in 1973 it was made by Charter Arms 1973-1990, then Survival Arms for 7 years, then Henry Arms starting in 1997 and finally by AR-7 Industries. Armalite made a few with walnut stocks, another variation, so it would be a neat collecting niche to just build a collection of AR-7 variations.

This example is one of a small number made by Armalite sometime prior to 1973, and used by the Israeli Air Force. They modified it for use as a pilot's survival rifle, probably between the time of the “Six Day War” in 1967 and the “Yom Kippur War” or “October War” of 1973. The modifications included adding a FAL grip and K98 sight hood. They made their own retractable stock, replacing the plastic one, and shortened the barrel to 13.5 inches and added a sling swivel to the barrel. There is a rubber cap on the grip allowing the grip to be filled with loose shells. This rifle was imported by the Briklee Trading Company in 1996, and they added an extension on the barrel to meet minimum length requirements for sale in the U.S. It comes with an Israeli looking sling and three magazines- one that is probably 7 or 8 rounds and two that are probably 15 round capacity. Overall excellent condition with about 95+% black paint finish on the aluminum frame and barrel exterior (steel liner of course!) probably redone when imported and lengthened. About 95% of the parkerized finish on the retractable stock assembly, showing some wear from sliding back and forth. The barrel is numbered B1355, while the frame is B1335.

This is a really neat example of an interesting gun designed by one of the great firearms inventors, modified for use as an aircrew survival weapon, and used by one of the 20th Century’s most successful military forces. Of all the AR-7 variations, this is probably the scarcest, and the most interesting. This is the only one we have ever found on the market, and it has been in John’s collection for a number of years but he needs to make room for other treasures. $550.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4550 - 13959 WINCHESTER MODEL 95 SADDLE RING CARBINE, .30-40 KRAG CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914. Serial number 425022, among the last of these guns made. The superb example has all the standard features of this variation. Caliber is .30 Army (30-40 Krag) one of the most popular calibers of the Model 1895 rifles and carbines, and the type used by Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish American War.

The outstanding feature of this gun is its condition, retaining essentially ALL of the unmarked original wood and metal finish with only some minor "flaking" on the receiver sides and upper tang. (The flaking has not penetrated to the bare metal but has resulted only in a thinning of the effected areas. Bore is as nice as the outside. About 90% blue on the buttplate. Stock is free from all but a few tiny handling marks. About as nice as you will find one of these any more, and the Model 1895s are notorious for the flaking finish on the receivers, so it may be a futile quest looking for one any better. This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and deserves a good home where it will be appreciated. $3450.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4557 - 13967 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 RIFLE IN .22 LONG CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914. Serial number 569336 made circa 1903. Octagon barrel is 24 3/8” long with typical black powder .22 bore- worn and rough. Note the caliber is .22 LONG, not .22 LONG RIFLE. The immensely popular and long-lived Model 1873 reached a total production of about 720,000 rifles and carbines, but less than 20,000 were in .22 rimfire caliber, and according to George Madis these have a low survival rate, probably from people reworking them to more useful calibers than the .22 rimfire for such a heavy rifle. This one has seen some honest use, but not abuse, and retains about 85-90% original finish, thinning or dulling in places, but overall a very attractive Model 1873 rifle. It has the standard crescent buttplate shape found on most 1873 rifles, but specially made for the .22s without a butt trap. Good markings, screw heads not buggered, magazine is complete and working. Wood has the old oil finish with assorted minor dings and scratches of an honestly used gun. This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and deserves a good home where it will be appreciated. $4250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4551 - 13960 WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 SINGLE SHOT ''LOW WALL” RIFLE IN .22LR CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914. Serial number 119805 probably made circa 1915. A beautiful little gun with 24 3/8” octagon barrel and excellent bore. About 97-98% finish remains, just some honest wear causing brightness on the sharp edges, a bit of thinning on the bottom flat just ahead of the forend (resting on the window sill when shooting into the back yard?) and a couple of very minor scratches or scrapes. Stock retains nearly all the original varnish finish, with just a handful of very minor dings scattered around. John M. Browning’s famous Model 1885 single shot action is still regarded as one of the best ever made, and despite large production numbers, these were much loved, much used, and many were cobbled into home brewed varmint rifles, leaving excellent examples harder to find than one might expect. At one time, someone added a tang sight, and the ''footprint” shows in the finish on the tang, and in order to remember which way to turn the knobs for windage, they stamped L and R into the wood alongside the tang. It would be nicer without these blemishes, but is still a darn nice rifle. This great rifle is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and it is looking for a good home. $1995.00 (View Picture)

Modern Shotguns

**SOLD** SMOF5118 - WINCHESTER MODEL 12 TRENCH GUN WITH WASHINGTON STATE HIGHWAY PATROL MARKINGS SERIAL NUMBER 1769319 CALIBER 12 GAUGE The Winchester Model 12 is considered by many the finest pump action shotgun that Winchester ever made. They were also used by the U.S. Military during World War I and II and remained in the U.S. inventory right up to the Gulf War. The Washington State Highway Patrol armed itself with them in the 1950’s through the 1970’s. They were carried in a scabbard that was fitted on the front edge of the front seat with the butt to the driver’s side so they could be removed quickly if needed. Each gun was issued to an individual trooper and his personnel number was painted on the left side of the butt stock.

This gun has some dings near the butt where the scabbard did not provide much protection, but is otherwise in almost new condition. The high polish bluing would rate about 97% with just a little bit of war on the high points. Other than the dings on the butt the wood is in excellent condition. The bore is bright without any evidence of pitting. An excellent example of one of America’s finest shotguns with the added history of use by the Washington State Highway Patrol. $650.00 (View Picture)

**SOLD** SMOF4956 - 16166 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1911 S.L. SHOTGUN, 12 GA Semi-auto - Serial number 75890 made about 1924 with 28 inch full choke barrel. Only slightly less than 83,000 of this model were made between 1911 and 1925 with some late parts clean up guns assembled into 1928. This was a strange design where you had to jack the barrel back (by grasping the knurled section on the barrel) to load the first round into the chamber, but after that it would function as a semiautomatic. The recoil of the action was controlled by springs and friction rings, but easily got out of adjustment, causing vicious recoil felt by the shooter. This is an exceptionally nice example with about 98-99% original blue finish. One semi-ugly scratch near the back of the receiver on the top. The wood has only a few tiny handling or storage dings, but does have a hairline crack at the rear of the forend (one of the weaknesses of this model’s design). This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association who set a goal of getting one of every model Winchester made, and then put on a 14 table display to show them off. Very impressive! This is not a common model to find, and most are in rather bet up condition due to their unreliability, which led to careless storage. This one is great addition to a collection, but (like all of them) about useless as a shooter. But we sell all guns as collector items only and not to be shot unless approved by a competent gunsmith. $750.00 (View Picture)
