I always think it odd that '68 is the same year Seat belts were required in cars. Thanks. I figured it did not have one.

Over the holiday I got to look over some of my grandfather's guns that my Dad has. He wanted me to look this one up. It is a Western Arms Corp. Long Range Double. The last image is from the 2010 Standard Catalog of Firearms. I wondered if anyone had anymore info. I could not find a serial number on any of the surfaces without disassembling it. I told him I would bring it with me for better inspection, but he declined. Lol Thanks

One Idea a friend was looking into was the large plastic tanks like they use for gas stations under ground. I think they can be 8 ft in diameter and are made to be buried. Plus is definetly water proof. Lay in some boards for a flat floor. Look here for ideas. http://www.atlassurvivalshelters.com They have lots of pics of their round bunkers. The use go overboard on the luxury features

Just like everything else, the older ones are better.

Remember what brand it was?

Maybe I should start stockpiling Playboy and Huster mags as trade items. lol

Glad to meet you.

A while back I traded some work for a 1974 '94, but then I saw a slightly newer, rougher one with a scope mount. I got it because it was a great deal (the guy swore he fired it, but the mag spring was TOTALLY missing lol). Now I can leave my nicer one is as is. I plan to use the other one when I need a brush gun. Money aside, having multiples makes life easier. Same parts, same function, and familiarity.

When you stop using them to hunt supplies, they could be repurposed for T.P. lol

In one way I am thinking of the yellow pages amd maps more for supply runs. No matter how much you have, if you can get more without negative interaction, might as well. If everything goes totally south, no one issling anything new for a long time.

I have one in each of my bags. Lol But the maps I have are road maps. Not that I would travel the roads, but following them makes sense. Roads are traditionally in routes that take advantage if the geography. I live in an area that is a little too populated for my liking, so moving to a more remote family members location would make sense for me.

I think you left a 1 off that 1911

I bought a Rand McNally laminated book for TN and a few surrounding states I travel in. They cover all but the smallest roads and are easy to mark up and wipe off with a dry erase marker. Those stay in my car, but are easy to grab.

Is the gun registered to begin with?

I am not a "prepper", but I think having an emergency plan in place is important. There are always lists floating around of items you need to keep or at least find if something happens. One thing I think people miss is the good old yellow pages. If things happen, this is a buffet of info as to where to look for items outside you immediate knowledge.And if things are really bad quick, Google might not be an option. What are some odd things you guys think of?

Thought it would be interesting to share. My Dad is almost 70, retired, but still runs a full time landscaping company. He and Mom still only use wood heat, so he has to cut, split and haul a bunch of wood. I am 2 hours away, so helping out is limited by family and work hours. So I decided the best gift for him was to have a guy deliver and stack 2 ricks of firewood right to his basement door. I told him to use the free time hunting and fishing

Yeah, even regular guns on sites go for crazy. Let alone the real rare stuff. I can only dream about those.

Hey guys, What is your favorite gun auction site and why? Does it have great prices, hard to find items, lots of selection? I have never bought from any and just wondered. Starting to look around them.

Yesh and even now building one is legal, you just need the right papers and a serial number before assembling. If the paperwork goes out the window, I will build one asap. Forget $1000 for one, I could put it together for $100 or less. And any good machine shop could start cranking them out.

You might be prepper if you keep all the shampoos you steal from hotels as trade items for after the World falls apart

You might be a pepper if you have all your packages delivered to the empty house one street over so no one knows where you keep your supplies.

Got mine today. A little too excited for my own good. My santa outdid themselves. There was a Academy Sports Ammo box full of goodies. A Browning shotshell air freshener A turkey call Balmshot Lipbalm A nice little one handed folding knife 3 different boxes of 22LR A 5 pack of M&P earplugs An Elite Tactical Systems clear 30 round AR Mag. And the Ammo box itself. (How did you know I just filled up my last one with 30/30?) Thanks Santa!

You have started "armoring up" the RV as your bug out location on wheels.

If I had been them KMART would have been my last choice. It was already dying. I know that made it cheap, but cheap is not always good.

Didn't KMART buy them a few years ago?
