Like Guns?

I figured since I did the watch one; and enjoyed it so much, my other obsession, beside the wife is guns. Nothing I have is too special overall but to me are the first none living items I'd try to save in a fire, well except pictures and documents.

I don't know which is my favorite...I have two of almost each type I own.

i got a model 70 300 win mag. pretty darn nice, its like a mini artillery gun going off.

but if i ever did hunt, i would find more joy and a challenge using my open sight enfield. though i would probably get tired of lugging it around all day.

I started out with open sights but now the places I hunt most of the shots are long shots and I don't want to wound anything.

Guns are a blast! (Bad pun) But seriously... I'm doing everything in my power to create a mighty fine collection in the People's Republic of Crapachusetts just to **** more liberal gun grabbers off. Plus, they're oodles of fun!

LOVE GUNS!!!!!

















Not a fan of s&w since the brady sell out but I still have a couple presell out revolvers. Colt,glock,ed brown,kimber,taurus,naa,savage,bennelli,mossburg, walther(original),marlin,bushmaster,pheonix arms,"not so"-high point.

I own at least one of all the brands above, some I wouldn't part with and others.................I'd leave in the dead criminals hands after an altercation.

But, we don't think about stuff like that..........there for outdoor enjoyment

Double post, how did that happen?

I'll add a couple more irons:

Evans New Model Carbine .44 Evans CF, lever action 28 round magazine in the butt...only firearm ever made in Maine.

Oury Galand pocket pistol, barrel comes off to load.

In this order, here are my passions:

My kids.
My wife.
My guns.

I have a pretty respectable collection. Nothing truly 'collectable' except for my M1 Garand, my K98k Mauser(s), my AR-HBAR (pre-ban) and my M1A (pre-ban).
These are worth a LOT to ME.
Oh, there are others, but, I'm not saying other than the Gold Cup National Match and the S&W mdl 41.
