I don't want to live through a defensive shooting to get shot by jumpy cops.
I'm in my mid-40's, my first real love were M14's when I was 18, I joined the Army and started out with a commercial Springfield NM. If anyone remembers MKS, the guy who rewelded USGI receivers, I bought a TRW receiver and meticulously collected National Match USGI parts and cobbled together an all TRW NM and a shot 2 Camp Perry matches, I did bad compared to the rest of the competitors but I got a trophy for participation. ;-) That led to a Harrington and Richardson reweld and rebuild and several months after I took possession of my precious M14's, I came home from duty with an ATF business card on slipped thru the door sticking out. I called the agents back and they wanted those evil rewelds back, REAL BAD. I stripped them down to the receivers only and handed them over to a JAG buddy for him to hand over to the ATF. I was the talk of the company at the time and a bit of a legend because they all got their grubby hands on them and fingerfuked them.
Long story short, I still have those 2 parts kits in a storage unit in Killeen, that gives you a hint of where I was posted......along with a 35 gun safe and 45 long guns and handguns.....a BAR, RPD, RPK's, 1919A1, FAL's, G3's, several PSL's that I bought for $350 in the day and a bunch of other AK's and AR's. I'm retired in Hawaii, actually my family home and these are my long guns here. I've got 2 M1 Carbines from the last Midway Italy imports, a FM 9mm lower and the BRN lower at the FFL for me to pick up this week, do this thread will be updated.
Have a good day ya'll!
