I'd love to have one of the AIR-RIFLES that the Austrian army fielded in 1814 against France. They were described as more accurate and longer ranged than anything else in service, and were used by a special unit of quasi-snipers for officer removal.

Venge-
What IS that? have you got a link or something? this is a new one to me...

The only ones I can think of off the top of my head is a really nice original M17 "enfield" and a Chattlerant and Remington M91. Oh yeah, and a Win 1895 Russian musket.

The one I'd really like is a .280 Ross! And a nice SVT 40 before they get too expensive.


I've got the Tikka M28 and the PSL scratched off my list.

AIM Surplus has one right now.

Winchester 1895 in 7.62x54r
Broomhandle Mauser of some sort
1887 Turk Mauser
Kar88

I wonder if this is similar to the air rifle that Lewis & Clark had with them on the Journey of discovery? It was described as extremely accurate, long range and far superior to the Black powder rifles they had. It impressed the heck out of Indians along the way.
I would like to add one of these to my collection!

Belle Star’s Revolvers!

This may be near impossible but here is why:

The pistols were in the family at one time and may still be with some distant relative.
My Great Uncle was a man by the name of James Robert “Bob” Hutchins. At age 15 he became a Deputy U.S. Marshal for the Indian Territories riding for “Hanging” Judge Parker out of Ft. Smith Arkansas along w/ Buck Garrett, Heck Thomas, Bud Ballew, Dutch Spencer, Bill Tilgham and others.
Some time after Belle Star was killed Bob tracked down her former husband Jim July Starr fatally shooting him. Uncle Bob took the revolvers from Jim July and had them in his collection until his own death in 1951.
The a pair of pearl handled revolvers are featured on the back cover of his Biography Gunman’s Territory printed in 1969.
