C&R Guns Never to be Had

[houserocker]

That one was probably turned into a fiddy rock, when our dear leader was mayor of Balt. and gave $50 to buy a rock for every gun they could find. Stolen? NO PROBLEM! We don't check no numbers, we just melt them down for you so there will never be any evidence!

As attractive as that conspiracy theory might be, it apparently went missing
long before MO'M was even a gleam in his ol' Father's eye-sometime in the early part of the 20th century.........(plus it was in FEDERAL custody).

If I had one to chose from, though, I'd want the FN Browning M1910 that Dr. Carl Weiss used to shoot that sumbich Gov. Huey P. Long, The Kingfish, in the Louisiana Governor's Office in 1935. Talk about controversy....

One of the pope's guns? Or more correctly the Swiss guard's guns. Like this, from the fire blog. Apparently they used K31s for awhile so that would be cool too.

Yeah, I would imagine that a stroll through the Swiss Guard's armory would be pretty impressive.

How about Sergeant York's '17 Enfield?

I'd trust my life with that one.

Too bad they didn't issue 6 round clips for it. The war would have been over October 9, when Sergeant York captured the Kaiser!

One heck of a mad minute could be run with them too!

Oswald's M1 s/n 4314215

I don't think anyone's claimed it, or at least isn't admitting to it. The information is from LHO's USMC Data Book, which apparently sold on Ebay a few years ago.

It's on my list of guns to look for when I make trips to the CMP, but so far, I haven't been lucky enough to find it.

I believe there's a guy in CT who has it, unless there's more than one with that s/n; bought it as surplus at the armory at MCRD in San Diego in 1963.

"May those who love us, love us,
And those who don't love us,

May God turn their hearts

And if their hearts cannot be turned,

May he turn their ankles,

So we'll know them by their limping."

This is a cool thread, very good read.

There is a revolver in my safe that my grandfather had for a number of years. It was SUPPOSEDLY used by Bonnie and Clyde to kill a Sheriff but I put no weight on that story at all. Wonder if there is any way to check

Here's the Zaitsev rifle too which resides on display in Russia.

Actually Zeitsev used a couple of different rifles -- one in the museum in Stalingrad, the other in the Central Armed Forces Museum in Moscow.

The Garand in this picture (since the Marine carrying it is my dad)

 

[JHE1956]

A few others I can think of:

Audie Murphy's Carbine
LT John Ross Chard's Webley RIC
Patton's General Officer's Colt 1908
An OSS-Issue Colt 1903 and/or High Standard Suppressed 22

I'd rather have York's 1911

How about Clyde Barrow's cut down BAR?

Contact the History Detectives television show. I think they've done a lot of research on B&C weapons for one of their shows.

Winston Churchill's Mauser C96 Broomhandle that he used as a Lieutenant

Obviously not C&R, but the M4 used by a SEAL to kill Bin Laden. I know the 30 round mag with 27 rounds left in it was given to the woman who tracked his courrier to the compound where he was killed.

For that matter, Bin Laden's AK.

I thought I read they had HK 416's
