Sorry Fozzy, I didn't scroll down the page far enough. Great trio, but your gun room is not an ideal storage area.

Mmm, I suppose they are a bit exposed mate.

When I started this thread I didn't imagine how many superb examples would turn up from members' collections. Not all were threesomes, but we can forgive you for going astray a bit. Great stuff!

I just realised that I had an unusual threesome in my collection that didn't fit into any obvious pattern. The only thing that they have in common is that they were patented by famous British gunmaking companies but never actually made it to the market place. So these are really cheats, not vintage pistols at all, but modern reproductions.

Hello John,
The Webley Whiting in particular would really have been something if it had made it into production.

If you built all 3 of those you are truly talented.

I missed this thread when it came around first time but picked it up this evening and was both astonished and delighted to see some of the 'items' on display. There are some wonderful collections out there.

Johnbaz's, in particular, I thought was extensive and consisted of some of the best rifles available. Slightly surprised not to see any FWBs, given how popular they are here.

Given the size of many collections, I am wondering how it is possible to shoot all these rifles/pistols. I suppose the answer is that many are never shot. My collection - which I am building since I discovered this site and have been learning something of the various models and makes and their characteristics - is still in single figures but I am, at least, using the constituents at various ranges and with various pellets and discovering their strengths and weaknesses.

I wonder what the various collectors regard as their favourite rifles/pistols and why?

Abasmajor and Binners, if you read this and you are ever are in these parts - I am not so far from both of you - do drop in and bring some of your favourite items. I have plenty of space here and the warmer weather encourages shooting outdoors.
