Arent those Charles Daly rifles made by Investarms?

I really couldn't say. I did a quick goggle search, and it has change hands a number of times. I didn't see anything about Investment?

In the ocean you need 10 good spot lights at night..

Old man didn't want to go out but his son was going so we went.

Were were on the rips at Nantucket sound. Pitch dark. Getting ready to head back the new spot light did a blink blink gone.

The old man was like yup I new this trip was going to kill us.

I had a sure fire tactical military light. I pull that out.. I turned that little pocket light. It lit the bouys right up. It was better than the spot light.

You know how bad that is out there.

the way back it was a lightly chewing out the son for being ready to go out there by himself like that.

The reason I asked is a friend of mine has a Hawken type rifle that is a Daly. He is not an avid black powder guy so I've only seen his rifle a couple times but, if memory serves correctly, last time I saw it there was an Investarms stamp on it. It's the only Charles Daly gun I've actually seen in person. But investarms makes a pretty good rifle if that's what it is.

Not sure why??? No plans to sell anything here.

I have a spreadsheet but she hasn't seen it.

Best follow the example of the monarchs of old and get a food taster!

Be careful as to what the boss (aka the bride or significant other) knows and doesn’t know, depending on the situation. Being as honest as possible probably the best, but pay attention to the noise in the room. I remember purchasing a handgun from a gentleman out of Freedom Wyoming named **** Casull after a number of conversations in the 1980s. Forget the exact price, but it was well north of $1000. The bride still remembers all the details and occasionally asks if that is another Casull when there is a new arrival, long or short (she was impressed a few years ago when we were in Alaska and someone asked where my bear spray was, and I showed them it right there on my hip next to ****’s gun). All she asks is that I keep a spreadsheet of current values. Not sure why??? No plans to sell anything here.

She wants a spreadsheet of current values in case of a divorce or your death. I have had a couple of friends experience that. The wife knew how much to demand for her half of the gun's values.

I'm not running a gun orphanage

Gun orphanage! Luv it. I gotta remember that.
Ive seen collections with 20 of the exact same revolvers. I always wonder why.

In case of divorce.. it's easy for the wife to watch you loose everything.
You don't know how careful to be there.. the girlfriends too. They can kill you.

That is why a very good lawyer comes into play. In my two divorces, I lost nothing. The first one I even set precedent by getting custody of my 2 boys. The judge even told me not to press my luck when I asked for child support.

Yea very good lawer. Not just expensive.

There lazy and don't do much.

And people who know me wonder why I'm not interested in "relationships" that last longer than 3 days.....

Not so in Australia, over here the Federal court works with Templates and the woman always gets 60% plus of any property settlement; its become an industry in its own right here down under.

Well we have been married since the late 1970s (the Disco era), so if she had a nefarious plan I would imagine it would be in play by now. In the case of my death (last I checked, we all die eventually), I doubt I’ll have much concern at that point.

A friend of mine. A Marine. One of his girls stole a Handgun from his closet.

He had to report it stolen.

They took everything from him gone. He didn't say but I think he got Felony. improper storage of large capacity hand gun.

When I was in court. There was a kid being charged with for crazy. Girl made him crazy.

When they asked him about where his guns are.. he started with there safe in my dad's safe..

His dad next to him. Looked like he wanted to slap the kid. He said all of the kids guns were turned over to the police already. I think he even had the paper

His son started to cry dad. That's when dad tossed him in front of the bus.

I agree. When you look at an "unattractive " firearm you have to wonder how they ever let it leave the factory? Eye appeal is a big part of the gun industry,

I absolutely agree with this. For me a gun has to be a work of art as well as a useful tool. Which is why I overwhelmingly have muzzleloaders. My two hawkens and my (new as of yesterday!) Zouave sit in my gun rack for all to admire, and my BP revolvers likewise in a glass cabinet, although I admit that some modern revolvers, e.g. Ruger Blackhawk, are aesthetically nice. My modern shot gun, as good a tool as any for home defense or small game for filling fridges, is a plain old thing and resides in a cupboard.

When I buy a firearm, I just know it's the right one for me. I spotted a used Charles Daly rifle at my local gun shop that had been sitting for a long time. The price was low, and the gun was in excellent condition, so I took a chance and bought it. The owner said no one wanted it because it was a Charles Daly rifle, and the company had a bad rep for rifles. That was 30 odd years ago and I still have it. Best shooting gun I ever owned. I don't have many guns but the ones I do own get taken out of the safe once a month and get cleaned. If I need it, it better shoot.

Is yours a muzzleloader or a modern? I must say, their Muzzleloaders look fine. EDIT: Of course its a ML. I should read all relevant posts before commenting! It seems they are made by Investarm. One of mine is an Investarm and it is both reliable and attractive to look at.
