Robert, is it a space issue?

If not its an interesting approach, you most of us collect "whole" rifles. You seem to just be collecting the muzzles.

That's exactly it Adam. Insurance premiums are really cheap too! Each collectible costs less than a tenth of what a whole rifle would cost to insure! Magnify that by the numbers in an extensive collection and the savings involved isn't chicken feed.

The Pittbull has this one by the short hairs

But... he didn't get them all right. Anybody else know anythng about milsurps? This ought to be easy. I know the guys in countries with connections to GB have a problem but to Americans this should be easy.

Well. .. pretty easy.

I'd have had them all if I'd have gone with my first instinct on that one I missed instead of thinking about it too much :razz:

C'mon guys. I know you can get 'em all....

Contest is finished

Post by Niner » Thu Mar 15, 2007 10:29 pm

The Pittbulloflove is the winner. Good going Brian. Brian got all of them right except the M1 carbine. Very well done Pittbull. Nobody came close to you.

I have put the correct answers in the discription boxes with all of the pictures now. Just go back to the original post if you are interested.

Brian , I'll be emailing you for an address where to mail the prize....such as it is. An iron on patch and a hat pin.

Wow. I'd like to thank the Academy, and all the "little people" who helped me along the way...Billy Barty, Bridgette the Midget, Prince, Napoleon...ah Geez...who else....*orchestra swells cutting off my acceptance speech, as I'm ushered off, Stage Left.*

Hey!

My prizes came in today, and they look as nice as the pix!

The Pin has already found a home on my range gear and my patch will most likely be going on my shooting coat shortly!

Thanks! :bigsmile:
