The Song of the Pipe

When the night air is shading ’round you,
And the lake is lying still;
When you hear the evening tuning,
Of the lonely whippoorwill;
When the woods are big and silent,
And the world seems all at rest;
And the cheerful fire is blazing,
Then your good old pipe is best.

When you are tired out from tramping,
Through the winding forest ways;
And you’ve had your trout and coffee,
And you dream of future days;
When you sit close to the fire,
Then the time is surely ripe;
With the owl’s bark resounding,
To fill up the good old pipe.

When the dreary rain is falling,
And the world is wet and gray;
When the loon’s long, dismal holler,
Rolls out clear and dies away;
When the woods are all adripping,
From the alder to the oak;
Then just lay back in your chair,
And hit good old pipe, and smoke.

-Earle P. Stafford

Hakim

An 8mm Mauser chambered semi-auto rifle fed with a 10 round magazine, although it’s loaded with stripper clips. The Egyptians replaced their FN49 rifles with the Hakim and had a smaller counterpart called the Rasheed.

This rifle is notorious for smashing fingers when loading, which gave rise to the term “Hakim Thumb”. Usually they’re in rough shape but this one is in really good condition. I would have bought one a while ago but the supply of surplus 8mm is pretty much dried up.

Colt “Buntline Special”

A long barreled revolver based on the venerable Single Action Army. It has an extreme barrel length of 16”, although 10” models were available. The name is based off of a Western writer who claimed to have given these long barreled revolvers to several well known figures such as Wyatt Earp.

Note the detachable metal stock. Since there is a 16” barreled version, if the stock were fixed and non-removable, it would be a carbine/rifle. Since it is removable and not a curio and relic/antique, it would be classified as an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle). The BATFE does have certain exemptions for pistols with removable stocks but I don’t think the Buntline is one of the lucky few.

Model 1858

This is a modern day reproduction of the Remington design. One major difference is the barrel length, measuring in at 12” versus the original length of 8”. It’s a single action, black powder revolver in .44 caliber. A few companies made or still make these reproductions but the long barreled ones seem to mostly be from a Texas based manufacturer.
