Per requests from previous thread........sdk is going to add the pictures asap.........took some from standing on the boat (any water skiiers?? yes, 427 Chev!!!), you can make out 1939 Pateau in one also. Wifes work car included too!!!!!!!

 

[sdk1968]

and here they are!!

with a little narration of course.

my favorite pic(RORY needs to help clear the area around this)

from the "business" side:

"pay no attention to that artillery piece in the floor!!"

i call this one: the over the bigblock speedboat shot!

if i'd known that Heckinohio was gonna be taking pix of this, would have definitely made sure to take advantage of Rory's strong manly presence that day he was down and had him move some stuff for Heckinohio. LMFAO

 

[Rory]

think of my surprise... never meeting the guy before i show up to jeers about my poor little car (07 honda fit) then as i walk in the joint i am staring down both that fine artillery piece and the many barrels of the gatling... and looking at the speed boat.... it was definitely a mixture that i can get down with. not to mention the wall of ammo cans segregated by country of origin and caliber.


the place is seriously like candy land!

Heck, did you build the gun or is it an original vintage GG??

 

[Rory]

not to answer for him but i am pretty sure that it is an original. not sure that he owns anything that isn't

but really i seem to remember either he or sdk telling me that it was an original.

So Kewl,, Heck,,

Lobo.....This is a Rich Suchka gun (sorry, Rory, I have two repros, this is one!!!!). Best of my knowledge, his are the premier re-pros...........I would not even think of shooting an original, nor could I afford one. Recent sale & resale of a different version was over $300,000. Not even remotely possible for me.

This was a local newspaper bargain at $12,500., luckily with the 250 drum. Being a repro, it has modern steel barrels, bolts etc, giving the shooter full confidence in at least the quality and strength of the components that would otherwise be in much question in an original. And there are easily available repair parts, perish the thought!!!

Barry can do lots of stuff but we have not tackled a biggy job like this. Another local has stared a .22 half size gun but never finished it......will look into relieving him of it if I can calk Barry into us (him!!!) finishing it.

Another local shooter has turned up a transferrable GE .308 gun this past year. Fingered it recently. Luck dawg!!!!!!!!

Rory,

did you notice he said he only had 2 repro's in his collection......???? lmao

wonder what the other one is?

 

[Rory]

you know i am sifting through my head to figure out what the other repro is. i love how barry gets nominated for all building stuff and you seem to keep nominating me to move all heavy stuff. damn you sdk!

but really i will help lug this beast around for a chance to turn the crank a time or two!

and heck, what is the other repro?

rory

 

[heckinohio]

Other repro gun........One of the turn-of-the-century 'Broom carbines that they only made a handful of.....cant afford an original.

brooms

Hey there Heckinohio........ about Brooms ....my Uncle Paul was the Kaiser's gunsmith on his last safari to africa, the kaiser liked the the broom carbine 'cause of his bad arm....... I think you'd like my broomhandle(the one that didn't get stolen!) its a .45acp not a .30 or 9mm.

Brooms

Wow..........I am impressed......German??? .....didnt know of even a 'backyard' .45 ACP broom. Sound like shades of John Martz!!!!! I do have a Chinese .45 but..........that is not equal to anything German!!!! Top gun in picture....most of these are FAs........

I am alway grieved by stolen. I lost a French Luger (biggy $$$$) now adays) to a car burgurlary in 1986. We have a nice, vigilant, concerned, watchful gal who lives in a close by rental who has several real biggy boy friends that come and go all hours of the day and night. Some times they visit 2-3 at a time. They have always been watchful, quiet, helpful and friendly to me (landlord!!) but I wouldnt want to annoy one of them............have known them for 9-10 years now. Kinda my unoffical watchmen!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this picture is old hat to several here but thought you might enjoy it...........top gun is .45

 

[sdk1968]

HEckinohio,

for the members here: unless you've had the luxury of a trip to "the dungeon", pictures just dont do it justice. only thing he needs is more space.

45 broom

So .... my .45 broom is a shensci from china, made in '29. I had a nice 1930 mauser that got stole, at least the retard left the EXPENSIVE one in it's little woolen bag. I have a 1917 artillry luger that came from my uncle tonythat was in the cia in asia for 30+ yrs.how it got to tibet or laos is anybody's guess! I still have a springfield that uncle Paul customized for my dad.......uncle paul wolf was a cool guy, but he passed a longtime ago when I was little( reallyy !! I was short once! like when I was 4 or 5 )
shensci arsenal was a huge place. they had almost 4,000 machine tools. they made every thing from steam locos to ammo for .30 brooms, it was almost the size of the krupworks.
