Makes sense... wouldn't want you to rob a liquor store with it. Everyone knows 90 pound crew-served weapons make you turn psychotic and become a gun toting meth dealer... :rolleyes:Quote:

Do reproductions count? If so, then this one is my most unique rifle.

I'd say that counts.:thup: After all, a repro's all that us peons can own of that rifle.
My own taste runs to the 19th Century, and while my various Snider-Enfield and Martini-Henry rifles and such might not be collected by the majority frequenting this forum, they cannot really be said to be uncommon or "unusual".
On the other hand, I think this recent acquisition qualifies - one of 5000 .50-60 rimfire Peabody rifles acquired by Canada in 1866 to meet the threat of invasion by Irish Republican Army (the original IRA) of the Fenian Brotherhood in the United States. The "CM" stamp on the buttstock denotes "Canada Militia" - and this was the Province of Canada, don't forget (i.e Crown Colony consisting of Upper and Lower Canada) ... not the Dominion of Canada!
