Look what I found

Post by Scott Tschirhart »

An old friend was liquidating part of his collection and he asked me (and others) to pick through the guns privately before they were put out for the public.

This Browning 92 was engraved by my good friend Jim Riggs many years ago.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Jim's a great friend too. We have spent a few nights together around the fire at deer camps. I don't keep track of him like I should and this will be an opportunity to visit.

Any good Browning 92 is a rare find these days and that one is fantastic! Congratulations Scott.

I love factory engraved guns, and engraved guns done after the factory. But this one is an especially nice gun, with exquisite engraving! Very nicely done, and with your relationship to the owner, and engraver it's just that much better.
