OK, not exactly the last thing I bought, but I have been trying to get time to put this together forever. I have been hesitant too as I rarely put out a list of what I own. A little while back, I helped a member nail down prices on some guns he needed to sell. I will let him chime in if he wants to be definitely identified. The more I looked, the more I decided I wanted several of them. I let one slip through my fingers, but in the end though, we came to a package deal for everything he had left. Taken a lot of side jobs to cover my outlay, but I think it was worth it. I got some good guns at a reasonable price and he got to not sit on them forever to get them to move. I am very grateful to him because he worked with me to get all this shipped. The distance and my schedule was just too much to meet FTF. The 1st item not pictured was a H&R 10GA single shot shotgun with rifle sights. That went to a coworker of mine. He wanted it even before I made a package deal. I like my shoulder too much for that. LOL First are a Winchester Model 1200 in 12GA and a Remington Model 11-48 in 16GA. Second is a Emperor Firearms Guardian Tactical 12GA. In the same pic is as extra barrel for the 1200 Third is a Winchester Model 70 in .30-06 with a Bushnell scope and bi-pod. Fourth is a SKS in a composite folding stock with a red dot scope, bi-pod and a 75 round drum (not pictured). Below it is a Stevens model 94 .410 shotgun. Fifth is a Marlin 39 Carbine Lastly, is a Mosin/Nagant M44 and Mosin/Nagant 91/30. Bayonets came with both. I have not had a ton of time to completely go over these, but the M44 may have all matching numbers. It is missing the piece that snaps in to lock the bayonet forward. On top of this was a good bit of ammo for all the guns including 24 boxes of 16GA. He also tossed in a few items that he needed to clean out that included a range finder. That has already come in very handy. So there you have it, my largest single buy in my life (so far lol).

Just as an example, so is this the way you see the 2 digit year that you talk about? This one looks to end in -16 I am afraid that I am probably going to be online shopping to get one. I don't see them come up for sale locally much. Well not at competitive prices. I will have to look around at some stores too though.

@Dolomite Thanks for the info. Somehow I thought I replied to your post the other day. Any specific ones that you can recommend that are moderately priced? I am just wanting to add one to the stable, but I don't need anything collectible, just reliable. I have been toying with picking this up and picking up a 9mm Glock mag AR pistol.

Sorry. I did not remember seeing that one.

There are a bunch of email to fax services that give you a couple free pages. You send an email and they fax it then email you a report. That might be an option. Gov't is kinda odd about fax vs. email.

Personally, I don't have any stickers on mine. I used to have a couple small ones that were not brands. I just feel that anything can end up being a negative. Same reason I don't wear logo clothing. Avoiding attention works for me.

I'm sure the Glock enjoyed it too. Better not let your G3 find out. You know how they can get about it.

I know it is popular to decorate your vehicle with your favorite gun or gun accessories manufacturer stickers. What are your guys' thoughts? I avoid it. First it says, there might be a gun to steal in my car. Second, it makes my car more identifiable.

Last man on Earth

LMOE mentality all the way. There would be no winning side in a new Civil War.

Any idea on that gun? Not sure what is rotated up on the receiver

Every time I shoot this my waist gets thinner...

I saw that awesome over the fence catch by that kid in the one game. lol

Been looking at picking up an AK and Century Arms is doing a $100 rebate on several models. I know they are not top shelf, but has anyone owned one? What are you opinions on it if you have. Thanks

Microsoft Movie Maker is still free I think. It is not Pro level, but you can crop, combine, and set music/vocal overlay to common video formatted files.

Yep, I am calling ####post too

For the bracket to stay on the tree, you could simply go with a section of tube at front an back with all-thread running through holes on each side to allow you to tighten it down. I did that with a site camera on a pole. Advantages would be that it is dirt cheap, weatherproof, could be positioned in any direction, and you could loosen it some as the tree grew if it was to be there long term. Also slightly bending the tube into an arch would help fit the tree better. Really basic image of the idea:

Not me. Mom kept me in a bowl cut...

So what kind of gun do you put a $1k scope on?

You can call me whatever you want to call me if I get to shoot and blow up things.

Would a hand crank apple peeler do instead of a press?

That got the science geek in me all excited. Never heard of it before.

The penguin uprising is here......

Funny you should mention that. My doc and I were talking about my ideal weight the other day. I told him.... I am not as touchy about my weight as women are.

This is a picture of the guns I was talking about. Looks right, right?
