On the bottom is the classic Winchester Model 1894 chambered in 30-30. This is the rifle that, with the 30-30 cartridge ushered in the move to smokeless powder, it became the first rifle to sell over 1,000,000 units.
On top is a variant of a Modern classic, the AR-15 which, in it's M16 form, was adopted by the US Military in the Mid-60's. The one pictured, is my custom competition rifle built from DPMS and JP industries rifle components.
If you thought chasing 'L' glass was an expensive obsession, don't get into competitive shooting!

This feels dangerous...deadly even...as noted, a way cool and effective image that conveys a strong meaning. Best Wishes, Traveller
