| The Guns We Own I thought it might be interesting for the members to tell and maybe even show their gun collections. I am sure there are folks out there who do not/will not own a gun. And, again, I'll bet there are some real gun collectors among us. I have taken the liberty to upload some pic's of my guns. The shotgun is a JC Higgins model 1011 .20 gauge. The barrel was 36 inches, but was cut to 34 1/4 inches. It's 1/4 inch over legal. The semi-automatics are a Bauer Arms Co. .25 (of Frazier. Mich), an AMT .380 and a Smith & Wesson 9 mm. The revolvers are older than I am. The snub nose is a "Bulldog" .38 and the long barrel is a H & R Arms Co. .32. The "Bulldog" has no serial number, it was manufactured before serial numbers were required. Note the octagonal barrels on the pistols. Note to Chris: Sorry, man, no Walther PPK. Charles

| Just picked up a S&W .357 revolver. Also have a S&W 59 9mm but the thing keeps stove piping so I moved over to a revolver. Hate to have to NEED a gun and then have it go "ploink" after the first shot. Plus I don't have the time to recycle the mags. |

I used to shoot the M1 Garand in competition... 300 rounds in practice will do a number on your shoulder! I have a pre 1964 Remington .270 a Ruger 10-22 for plinking and 2 shotguns. I intentionally avoid buying guns cuz I'm afraid i wont stop collecting them. | |

The trouble is there is too much to collect.. for too many reasons! As a history buff, i'd like to have a pair of 18th century 68 caliber dueling pistols, A Kentucky rifle, a Mauser, an StG44..... there is no end! As someone who likes to shoot, i want an M-14, a mini-14, 7mm mag, Desert eagle and an auto load shotgun with a magazine.. The only way I can practice discipline is through abstinence!... I'll stick to paper money....for now!  | |

| The gun I've always wanted to own was a German Navy Luger. They had a very long barrel, I'm guessing about ten inches. I saw a couple at gun shows, but I would have had to mortgage the house to own one. Glider, those match rifles are beautiful.... Charles

 | Some nice weapons there. Just a shame the deadliest thing we can own over here is an air rifle |
