Thanks for saving another beautiful, classic military rifle from the ravages of Bubba. You have revitalized and given character to something someone had turned into a piece of junk.

Since my 1917 is so popular, how about another 1917? Not a rifle but definitely milsurp and within the 50 year theme.

US Army Model 1917 Colt DA45. This one doesn't even have any rebuild marks on it and the bores are all like mirrors. It's moving parts feel like it's hardly been used. Haven't shot it yet.

I Like those photos Asquare

Keep them coming. I don't mind resizing them, but if you would only link pictures 650 pixels wide or less the screen would keep a normal size. You could post the picture as an attachment of any "normal" size larger than 650 pixels directly from a file on your computer and the attachment program corrects for size, or you want to link large photos directly in the post from photobucket, or whomever, you could put:

Code: Select all

 <img src=" in front of the url and " width=650> behind it when linking from photobucket.
This is how I resize pictures posted too large.

I'm only mentioning this for the sake of all who post here and would like to add a little to their skill level.

If you want to email pics to me, I'll resize them and link them on my site.
