It is, or rather hoepfully it someday will be, a Vans Aircraft RV-10. A four-place, fixed gear plane with a Lycoming IO-540 engine. Vans Aircraft is the manufacturer of the most popular line of kit aircraft in the world, with currently over 10k flying examples. Here's a pic or two of some finished RV-10's ...

Some of us still like building airplanes ...

You're probably right, but given the sheer volume of what amounts to embezzlement of funds I suspect that New York will pull their charitable org credentials. If that happens then their tax-exempt status is gone. It may take something drastic like that to get them to finally clean up their act a bit. I'm with the crowd that says many officials of the NRA should go to prison ...

Isn't it amazing how many folks who would normally champion free enterprise don't really understand how capitalism works ...

Welcome. There seemingly aren't all that many of us here from the good end of the state ... Why would you drive to Paducah to get to Union City from there? Hit I-40, get off either at exit 108, Parker's Crossroads and head north on 22, or take the Hwy 45 exit in Jackson to 45W straight into UC ...

There's a guy on ebay who sells one that's supposed to be good for up to 44 magnum, as long as you don't fire steel core ammo into it. Bullet trap

The first 5 rifles aren't 91/30's either, but rather SVT's. However, the Russian PU scope, which was originally mounted on SVT's, has a normal eye relief of about 3". A lot of folks define a standard eye relief as 1.5", making the PU a "longer" eye relief than standard ...

Yes ...

Swiss rifles were certainly well-made, and generally the individuals who were issued these guns maintained them well. However one factor to remember, none of them were ever used in combat, thus the percentage of "nice" rifles is correspondingly higher among Swiss rifles than those of other nations from the same era who were busily involved using their issued rifles to attempt to wipe out their neighbors ...

From what I can find in a cursory search, all of these rifles were made for either sporting use or for target competitions, the Swiss apparently never used a .22 trainer. Despite that, these rifles are commonly called "trainers" in various places around the net ...

Ann Margaret, "The Train Robbers", 1973. WAG on the gun, I agree with Colt SAA ...

Southwestern Shooters Supply was one of Interarms main retail distributors during the late 50's through the 60's and the GCA. Sam Cummings started providing a lot of his WWII surplus to them during the 50's, and continued to use them as his primary west coast distributor for many years. IIRC, Interarms eventually bought their operation out, effectively converting Southwestern into one of its own retail outlets ...

It would be even more impressive if the ad wasn't almost certainly a scam ...
