Title: Great resource for gun pictures.
Post by: Justin Urbantas on February 20, 2019, 07:31:53 AM

I have been using Lewis Drake for a while now as a source for excellent quality gun pictures. They are especially valuable for high end British guns, with a few others thrown in.

An example of one picture from the site:

I found it, just didn't go far enough down earlier. I like that rifle but some things about it would make me want to examine it in hand before paying a 10th of the asking price. Just call me cynical.

That Bean rifle looks about the same age as the Jud Brennan rifle rifle they have for sale. I'm like Dennis, I'd like to have a closer look at that one before I'd pay the money they're asking.
