That’s a seldom seen rare over-under, break open, pump action , blind magazine-fed with disappearing ramrod. Had one in the seventies I traded for a dodge challenger .

That model of Lambo is named after the Miura bloodline of fighting bulls of Spain.
Cunning and ferocious, some matadors demanded more money or refused to fight a Miura bull altogether.

Oh to have a time machine...
Back when you did everything by mail order... no FFL required. Sends your check or money order or wire and you get some beautiful guns!

Still healthier than 90 percent of what is being sold at your average grocery store these days...

Hope those DEI-hire riggers aren't packing the chutes for our airborne troops. They're not, right? Right?
Right?

Was in a Cabelas "Library" the other day. 2 1903's, $1400 each.
Paid $25.00 for my 1917 Enfield in .30-06. Wanted to sporterize it, However, being a teenager, earning at best $7.50 a week after school, and total lack of gunsmiths, qualified to do that level of work in North Louisiana at that time, meant, that a couple years later I gave up. I traded it off for a 20ga, Remington 11-48. Think I got about what I paid for it. I would probably still have that old Remington, except it was stolen.
My Single Six convertible probably did not cost much more than $63 plus change. Probably cost me tons more as my hearing is totally shot, due in no small part to great afternoons, after school when I could get away from work to go plinking at tin cans with my Ruger Single Six. Lots of good tales, about those days, including the very first day I shot it.
Man, those were the days. Insulated wolf fur parka for $16.99. I was always partial to the baby fur seal lined overcoat for $19.99 available in their Spring catalog. That faux fur shit used nowadays just can't compare!

Amazed that the helicopter has the power to lift those gigantic balls!

Holy shit. The 4-blade rotor in the background must have helped.
The Cobra was the escort...
I'll leave Cliff Clavin out of this...
Main helicopter doing the lift is a Sea King, I think. Not sure the USAF was flying those in the '60s.

The Sea King was not familiar to me. The Queen has the biggest of balls of all!
2 engines makes that an H-53.
And yes, the USAF was flying them during Vietnam.
In 1984, tail #796 still had patches on its skin. Those patches covered bullet holes encountered during a rescue mission like the one above.
All six of our HH-53s served in theater. Between 86 and 87 they were reconfigured to MH-53 Pav-Lo.
5 blades actually.
Thanks for the correction!
I remember seeing the 53J/Pave Low's down at Hurlburt in the late 1980's. Impressive machines!

I SPIE rigged out of a CH-46, it’s a hell of a way to travel lol
Never had the privilege to fly in one, but my favorite all time helicopter was the Cobra, what I saw them do to NVA would get me kicked off of Facebook permanently if I was to describe it in detail. (Let’s just say a mini gun at full song can really make a mess of a fella’s day.). Mess is the key word.
I don’t remember seeing you.
