wow you have had and traded away more history pieces than a young man like myself will probably ever see!joe817 wrote:Thanks for the warm welcome. I feel like I've found a forum home.
A little background info.....my real love of guns is in collecting. I've had some wonderful collections over my lifetime. My first collection consisted of arms of the 19th century, mainly guns that helped settle the States. I also had a dandy collection of WWII military side arms. My last collection I was the proudest of. They were U.S. military marked trench and riot shotguns used in WWII. Some said I had the best collection in the Southwest(I wish I had them now). I had every one except the Ithaca 37, and the Remington Model 10.
I also have an extensive collection of escape and evasion maps used in WWII, that I've lost interest in. I need to trade/sell those so I can get more guns! lol I'm also a ham radio operator, I'm into metal detecting, and long time amateur photographer.
HOWDY! Hope to see you around. I need to get back over to Winchester myself it is right down the road. My roommates bachelor party is this weekend the afternoon plan is 3-4 hours at Alpine for some AR/5stand/Trap and lots of good times.
