Ah what the heck, I'm not sleepy and it's finally quite here in this expensive hotel /hospital.
So I've covered shotguns for the present.
Now to rifles. I have a pristine, M1 Garand from the CMP that I shot for to qualify many decades ago. Excellent, excellent weapon.
Then there is the M1A from Springfield Armory, tricked out with accessories like scope, tripod, sling, glass bedded. sub MOA at 100 yards.
Then a beautie of a 30 caliber M1 Carbine with all accessories. That covers the military stuff except in addition to a fine GI, model of 1911a1 .45 caliber pistol.
Then I took a liking to Star, PD''s and have several along with a pristine BKM 9mm.
My uncle wiled me a single shot Savage 22lr model 24 Favorite which was in fine shape for it's age but I carefully cleaned and restored by steel wooling off the aged varnish finish and refinishing it with a Simi gloss finish and other small improvements like a custom made spare firing pin under the but stock that you can hear if you listen carefully. I keep it in a very well padded gun case. I liked my uncle very much, he was a down to earth farmer and owned a very nice half section of land in central Illinois, very productive piece of property.
Then I came across a 22lr caliber M1 Carbine, I forget the brand at present but it is very accurate and fun to shoot.
I'm running out of memory here and will have to consult my inventory list when I get home.
I have a very carefully staged and lighted picture album of everything I have and sometimes when it's quiet I sit down with it and an iced sipping coffee just to remember the times and places and friends through the years and the trips like to the Whittington Center in New Mexico, I'll leave that for another time but it was great.
There's more to come. Have a great day.
