I have one parent and one grandparent left. I know how hard that is. Prayers are with you.
It's your money and your guns, you do what you want with them. We just don't talk about it here. :bwink:

I fully agree with the fact that these come from an "evil empire" to say the least. However, I look at collecting them as my own form of "war trophy's" Having been a small part of the nations defence in the Cold War, these weapons were definately awaiting to bring my demise if it went hot. Thankfully it never did. The Commies fell, and now they are capitalizing on their goods over here. In a very small way myself and other vets serving during the Cold War did our part to make it happen, and we can all reap a small benefit from it.

I am very sorry about your losses, if they were saved, then you and I both know they are truly in a better place, and the day will come when you'll be with them again. :thumbsup:

BTW, what part of Montana are you in? I love it over there and go to Glacier at least once a year!
