I may have mentioned it here once or twice years ago, but I was fortunate enough to inherit a rather substantial gun collection from my grandfather years ago. He was a big Colt nut, but had some other non-Colts as well. When I took possession of them, I became more intrigued and began adding to it a little at a time when the funds would allow. Well, that only lasted so long, with mortgages, more and more bills, medical costs, etc. I sold some of my Colts off, but have kept the entire inherited collection together. Although technically they are mine, they are family heirlooms and belong to the family. I am just their custodian and cannot/would not sell any of them.

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be bringing all of them out to inspect, possibly clean, and catalog for insurance purposes. I wasn't smart enough to do it years ago when I got them, but it's high time I get it done now. I'm also going to be going through my own personal collection of small & weird guns that I've pieced together over the years.

I thought it'd be fun to share some photos with you all. I found an old directory on my backup computer that contained photos I'd taken years ago of some of the guns in the collection.

Enjoy!

Boberg XR9-S Platinum - original Boberg - not Bond Arms. These are a head trip because you load the magazines backwards, projectile first, and the round is pulled rearward from the magazine due to the pistol being a bullpup.

There are photos of others, but they are all stuff everyone sees all the time. I just wanted to post of photos of some of the rare or odd ducks. I hope you enjoyed them.
