Salvaging another old post.

Well I was going through my Carbines today & realized I have 13 M44s'. I'm thinking I need another one soon to get past that number! :shock: But then again, 13 is better than none, right? :lol:

took some group photo's for my book & figured I would post them for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy :)

Nice bunch, '47 will come, of course it may take a lifetime of waiting, but they can elevate the bed in the old folks home so you can put a few rounds out the window :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
