Don't say it too loud or Molot will hear you, they could make stuff like this if they wanted to, and there are people even here on this board that would know how to age it But we ain't tellin!
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
I was going through my old posts and saw this one. I realized there are no 07 carbines in the showcase. I hope you dont mind Bill but I would like to nominate yours for inclusion.

Wow, good call Dave. We definitely need one in the showcase! Gets my vote without question. Thanks for bumping the post either way as it gave me a chance to look at it again.racerguy00 wrote:I was going through my old posts and saw this one.

Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
I get very negligent in thinking about stuff like this to be altogether honest about it I just think about what is next and if I want to shoot certain things and really getting ready for I guess another cold winter I have been travelling a bit here lately too. I believe Racer told me I should write something up on the RV27 too but as usual I am forgetting to do that too. Sorry Guys but as I get older and try to remember to do things and stay caught up I just do a crappy and slipshod job. 2,000 miles in 10 days just isn't as easy as it used to be I need time to recuperate more now I guess too. Sorry maybe next week after I clean and shoot the 4 new ones I bought. More to come on that too! Bill
Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
Bill, I know you are getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, and probably have a hard time shooting carbine length rifles, so I am going to do you a favor. I have a beautiful, and newer, 1943 Izhevsk M-91/30, refurbished at the arsenal to "collector grade" that I will swap with you. It comes with the rare ammo pouches, cleaning kit carrying belt, and front sight hood that I will throw in at no extra charge.
PM me and we will swap addresses.

Ah zeebill's gunroom. Full of many rifles I have never heard of but i have seen! It's like a museum with Zeebill as the tour guide
RIP Kevin Carney. Your always in our hearts.
Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
I have a bunch of pics I took at Bills a year or so ago, and some for the life of me can't remember what they arejoe7170 wrote:Ah zeebill's gunroom. Full of many rifles I have never heard of but i have seen! It's like a museum with Zeebill as the tour guide

Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
Wow... I've seen pics (one or two I think a year or so ago when Racer visited you). This is like the ultimate for me. Perfect in every way. Amazing...

Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
The only reason Bill doesn't already have this rifle in the showcase is because of a lack of pictures. He doesn't take pictures. Fortunately we have enough from racerguy to prove it exists. Just think how many more showcase specimens he owns!

Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
Due to the fact this is rare as Hens teeth it should be on the Showcase IMHO. Working on it & it will be up in the coming days....

Re: zeebill's 1907 carbine
Well, Racerguy was good enough to nominate, take photos of & convince zeebill & myself this belongs on the Showcase as a real representative of what a Three-Line-Carbine, Model of the Year 1907 looks like in the wild.
So here it is!
NOW ON THE SHOWCASE!!!
