Posting pictures became more difficult in 2017 when
http://www.photobucket.com/ initiated a fee for most subscribers for 3rd party hosting.
Google Chrome has a Photobucket Hotlink Fix

http://www.jpgbox.com http://postimages.org/ Hints on taking photographs:
Good barrel, receiver/action, and wood photographs are difficult to obtain. The closer you can get, the better. Cell phones now have a 2048X1152 (2.4 MP) setting which is adequate for images to be posted on forums. Use a tripod or rest to steady the camera. If using a digital camera, be sure to set it on "Macro" mode.
The best backgrounds are solid (not patterned) grey or dark blue. Consider suspending the gun 8-10" from the background so it appears to be "floating in space". Be sure the camera focuses on the GUN, not the background.
It's hard not to get a flash reflection when the photograph is taken inside, so photos are best when taken with filtered sun (just slightly overcast) outside. Orient the barrels horizontally rather than on a diagonal to make cropping easier. Center that part of the gun you wish to demonstrate.
Several close up shots are much better than showing the entire (out of focus) gun; toesies and carpet in the image, though appealing, are unlikely to be helpful
You might use white chalk or a white grease pencil to make the marks on the barrel or action flats stand out in the images
