Hello from Wisconsin USA

Post by buckstix » Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:52 am

Hello All,

I'm new to this forum in hopes of finding information about a Westley Richards Double Rifle that was shipped into India in 1927.
(see my recent posting in the "rifles" section)

I'm an avid rifle shooter with several double Rifles, and a dozen or so Schuetzen rifles. I also specialize in Antique Cartridge revolvers from 1861 to 1900. I have a couple hundred in my collection and will gladly help with research information when I can.

Drop me a note, anytime.

Buckstix, welcome to IFG! Your collection sounds quite comprehensive and, from my perspective, very interesting as well.

When you speak of antique cartridge revolvers, do you study weapons like the Belgian Galand or Swiss service revolvers?

The schützen rifles sound quite interesting as well! We are glad to have you aboard.

Welcome aboard Buckstix.
Looking forward to your contributions here.
I spent some time in your beautiful state and have very fond memories of Wisconsin.
