A new forum to form a permanent archive on 'Classic' Firearms. Single shots, combination rifles/shotguns, bolt actions, other designs.

'Classic' firearms could include: Wnchester pre-64's; old English bolt actions or single shots; new ones too; the famous Mannlichr Schoenauer bolt actions; Martini Henry singles; famous lever actions; the designs of combinations of rifle and shotguns so popular on the Continent of Europe; really anything extraordinary, ground breaking currently or in the past, vintage, or even ultra-modern.

Please post photos of your 'classic' firearms here, or those of friends if they are interested. If possible also post descriptions and any known histories.

In the title name the make, model (if any) and calibre(s).

Please use a new thread for each one.

I hope this forum forms a permanent useful, entertaining and educational archive on the various 'classic' firearms in existence.

I will see I can assist anyone with posting if they do not have the means. For this option please start your own thread and I will insert the photos. Email these photos to:

Photos AT NitroExpress.com (edit this address to add the @ and correct the email address)

Please only use this email address so my principal one is not filled up.

Threads and photos posted may be edited to place the photos on the NE.com server so they stay a permanent fixture in the threads. They will get up faster if you can load them up on the net somewhere in the first place however but I will get to them as soon as I can.
