14 hours after I arrive home, Alabama Gun Collector's Show in Birmingham, AL awaits me (it has been 2 years, 1 month since my last trek at a gunshow......)
Lets just say I have put SAK buying to the wayside, and buying stuff off the 'net, and forwarding packages to my mom's house for a very LOUD homecoming to my toys: HK-91, STG-556, M1A, AR-15, M1911's, HK USP Tactical .45, SIG, Colt, Garands, my best friend's Barret M107 .50 cal, etc.....

I had a bunch waiting for me when I got home. But I was into the Old West style of guns back then. But anyway, I want some pics of those guns when you get back. I'm sure everyone would love to see them.

Would they happen to have a Victorinox Serrated Ranger? I know this is a long shot, but I would LOVE this model!
Lucky your forefathers have the foresight to include the 2nd Amendment, a countries Army, Navy and Air force can be defeated in days.... But a well armed militia can fight a war almost indefinitely

But a well armed militia can fight a war almost indefinitely You are most certainly correct, my friend.If I remember correctly the studies we had of the Phillippine Insurrection from 1899-1914 or so, the Moro Tribesmen kept GEN Arthur MacArthur (the father of GOA Douglas MacArthur) at bay for years on Luzon. One of the results of that insurrection was the M1911 .45 ACP, which replaced the anemic M1890's era Colt New Service Revolver in .38 Colt. The Moro Tribesmen were doped up, and nothing the Army had could put them down, until John Moses Browning brought his masterpiece to fruition.
And don't forget it spurred on development of the .30-06,because the .30-40 Krag was found to be lacking.there and in Cuba.At the risk of sounding like a bum..could you wipe out that guy's stock of 108mm's,because when they're gone..they're gone.I'm positive Tim could find very happy homes for them all.

I had more than one Springfield built Krag,and they were beautiful works of craftsmanship. The US military was more than lucky it had TR as C-in-C.He was the one that dragged military into the 20th century;one of the great what-ifs of American history is what might have been if he had run for a second consecutive term.

Bull Moose party. He regretted his statements about a single term almost the day after he said it. He beat that fat smurf too. (But lost to Wilson--a good, but internationally weak president)
Actually, the .30 caliber Government Model 1906 cartridge, shortened to .30-06, or marked .30-GOVT-06 on many pre-64 Model 70 Winchester rifles,
I have pics of my pre-64 M70 Winchester Featherweight in .30-06....and of my M1903 and M1903A3 rifles with bayonets.MODS: where do you want me to post for all to see? I do not want to hijack the thread.....

OR, I can send them to Felinevet and you deal with him.I also bought a SwissTool toolkit for me (I had a choice: ratchet or breaker bar, I chose the breaker bar) and it came with a pouch, that lies horitzontal and holds both....and a 84mm stainless money clip.....I will use the money clip when I get home and go to the gunshow...It will be full of cash when I go it, probably empty when I depart the show!!!
