Show us your Finns!

So let's see those Finns!!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: It's "Finn" Family Photo time!
I got to do that, a nice group photo, this sifting through 3000+ pics on photobucket to find the Finns is tedious, I should have put them all in a separate album instead of doing a mass upload from the old computer.

It would take you weeks to gather them all up for a group photo... And you would need a large field or airplane hanger to do it in.Junk Yard Dog wrote: I got to do that, a nice group photo, this sifting through 3000+ pics on photobucket to find the Finns is tedious, I should have put them all in a separate album instead of doing a mass upload from the old computer.

Ours might have been in the same regiment and got slaughtered by the Finns. I'd put a smiley but maybe that's not a good thought.

Re: Show us your Finns!
I see what you mean. I went back and looked at yours. Hey this is neat stuff. here is a better pic of the serial number. also notice that the bolt has been re-serialed twice, and the knob has the force matched number to match the barrel. I found this prize for a hundred bucks, and this is the one that comes to mind when I hear the word relic.
