Butter knife bolt handle to ???? (drooool !!!)

Awesome rifles. I have had the opportunity to handle a few and shoot them and they are smooth.

Nice gun until you break out the calculator and realize that you could have almost every one of the Kimber lineup!

the same sort of thing was not uncommon in the 17th-18th century.

Yep, it was very common in France, Italy and even Japan (google "samurai matchlocks"; that'll probably turn up some similar examples).

Not my cup of tea in terms of art, but the Steyr rifles are very nice, even "unadorned".

Yeah, that’s one European rifle that I do covet, along with the pre-WWII Oberndorf ‘98 Mauser Sporter (or Brit Rigby equivalent). I can at least build a clone of the latter, but the Mannlicher is totally unique.

I saw an unusual firearm in some museum long ago. It was tricked out to be more than a little erotic. The rear sight was a figure of a women on her back with her knees up. That was the V rear sight. Near the muzzle was a figure of a man also on his back with something else straight up. That front sight could be described as a front post.
