Looks like either today or Monday; might as well celebrate both!

No time to shoot but I'll have to get into the safes and fondle some of his work. Let see...

1911
Hi-Power
Woodsman
1890
1892
1894
Remington Model 8
Ithaca 37

Might have to hit the gun shop and see if Ivan find a '97 or model 12 to cut down...

My favirites in no special order are:

by Josh Maloley, Saturday, January 21, 2012, 13:40 (4638 days ago) @ Rob Leahy

1911
1917 water cooled 30
1919 air cooled 30
Browning A5
Rem 8 & 81
High Power 9
and many others...every time I take apart a JMB designed gun, I can tell it was one of his designs, even if I didn't know.

He would be one of the top 5 historical figures that I would like to sit down for dinner with sometime. - JM

I don't care for the "What's a decocker" word bubble on this pic.

It's not that he didn't know what a decocker was...it was that he knew better. :-P
