Welcome to the Gallery of Firearms and Devices

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 26, 2006, 2:59 PM
Here you will find displayed firearms and explosive, incendiary or screening devices of all sort from around the world.

This is a Stock Art image gallery devoted to Deviants and enthusiasts looking for technical or historic reference photos, either for modeling or to include in thier own artwork.

The gallery will strive to ensure any and all technical information included in descriptions will be as accurate as possibe, to include country of manufacture/origin, and caliber and capacity of weapon. In some cases, links to references will be provided.

Occasionally images will be posted with a common item next to the weapon or device for comparison, or modeled with the help of volunteers.

If you are looking for a particular weapon or pose, just give me your request and I will strive to help you as much as is possible.

On photo quality: Due to the locations and equipment I had on hand at the time, overall quality may be a bit lackluster in some photos, so please keep in mind that the collection is focused on bringing you the best images possible as conditions allowed.

On Section: Stock Images, but is it Technical, Object, or Household Items?

Add to your watchlist for further developments.

Rules of the Gallery:

1) Unless using images outside of DeviantArt, you do not need to ask permission to use.

2) Please credit us in your description and provide us with a link to your work.

Spam, in any form, will not be tolerated and will be reported as such.

I might have a lead on a few Barrett rifles, just a matter of talking with the owners into letting me photograph them.

I'm impressed with your arsenal, I'd be even more impressed if you had a Barrett M-107 :omfg:

I used your grenades here,[link] please have a look.

You have a wonderful gallery.

I would love to submit this to Applied Arts Magazine.

Get out to the range with either SKS, they're a lot of fun to shoot and you'll be surprised how acurate they are.
I stripped the varnish off of the original stock on mine since it was bubbling off the handguard and rubbed in some linseed oil. I keep the action in an aftermarket stock that fits me better.

Currently I'm in El Paso, nothing as "exotic" as at shows in your area. A lot of well worn sporting and military rifles from collections and the usual boxes of AK and M16/M4 clones usually.

My sks was slightly modified when I got it (scope mount, and recoil pad) but the seller included the origional stuff and I've restored it to factory. Also this one is different from the SKS I already have in my scraps, yup I somehow ended up with two Type 56s and have yet to try either of them out. Where are your gun shows out of, I go to ones in my home state of Ohio and they always have good stuff, the last one I was at I saw half a dozen Spas-12's and a transferable M240B.

Is your SKS factory, or have you made any modifications to it (stock, sights, hi-cap mag)? That's a very under appriciated rifle IMO, and a detachable magazine from the start of production could have extended it's life as a front line weapon.

I've been avoiding the gunshows in my area, not a very impressive showing and keeps me from adding to the collection.

Your LAW reminds me of one I had a chance to pick up for cheap, kind of regret passing it up.

I still have to photograph my mil issue chinese Type 56 SKS (first or second year production, import), and a very old 22 falling block rifle. Ive also got both M201A1 and M201T grenade fuses, an inert M84 flashbang, an M781 practice cart, and by monday I should have finished the turning and milling on three new M84 inert clones. By the time I photograph (not for at least another week or so) any of that I'll have gone to another gun show and will have even more goodies.

Hey I just noticed your fave on my CZ52, I've been a little slow figuring out all the DA controls. If you want any shots of my other guns feel free to ask, I've got a few new things not displayed on my page.
