    Who else collects the M1 Garand?

    I have the civilian version of the M14 - an old Springfield M1A in .308 with USGI parts and it's a fine rifle. Yet, I'd rather shoot the Garand.

    electric desk fans!!!!

    My grandmothers - a GE Alternating Current Fan. Three speeds with 12-inch diameter blades and a much bigger guard, Green motor housing weighs a ton. I don't know what it dates to but I like having it on my desk.

    are your kids bigger than you?

    I don't know what's causing it but every kid that I know is taller than at least one of their parents. My son is 6'2" - an inch taller than me - and my daughter is 5'7" which is one inch taller than her mom. Strangely, however, my daughter is always complaining about how short the guys are...

    Show us your Pipes

    My favorite 4 pipes - from top to bottom - 1933 Parker, two 1950s Dunhills, and the crown jewel, a 1918-21 Dunhill prince with original miltary bit. All are, as you might expect, terrific smokes.

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    Mauser action in .318 Westley Richards caliber in a custom case that was sold to a Major Blackburn in 1919 by George Gibbs. I haven't been able to find out anything about the good Major. There were a few Major Blackburns (and more than a few Captains - if he received a promotion) that survived...

    Who else collects the M1 Garand?

    I'm not sure what you mean ,Edward. I see alot of change over the last 20 years. Of course, we still don't have ray-guns but materials used in design are sure different. Maybe the innovation (or tragedy) in design has been more in moving away from wood and steel to polymers and plastic...

    Who else collects the M1 Garand?

    I know there is a separate "Guns" thread but I think the Garand may deserve it's own thread? What motivated this is that I just acquired my third Garand at a gunshow yesterday. I'm addicted, I admit it. How many others are like me in the FL family? In cleaning it up this morning, I...

    Show us your Guns!

    Great looking Mannlicher , especially with the family history ! I had one and foolishly sold it. Thanks for showing it off. But I can't say that I approve of the use of a Colt for a trigger stand.

    Show us your Switchblades

    Nice switchblade CRM ! Here is the only one that I own - Hammer Brand, made in the late 1940s-early 1950s (I think?).

    Show us your Guns!

    Merwin Hulbert circa 1880, second model pocket, 5-shot 38 cal, 5 1/2-inch barrel, and engraved in the classic punch-dot style with a schooner on the side panel - it's got some milkiness and flaking of the nickel finish but if it didn't then I wouldn't have been able to afford it. Thanks for...

    Public Enemies

    Count me in for the morally stupid club - I own it on Blue Ray. John

    Any Vintage Lighter Collectors Out There?

    Wow! Nice Dunhill. My brother in law has one of these from the 1960s that I've always coveted. I didn't realize the design goes back into the 1930s. Thanks for sharing. John

    Show us your Guns!

    It is the way the photo was taken that makes it look too long - it's a normal 1911 as made in 1918.

    Opinions about Johnnie Walker

    Ballatines has always been a favorite of mine but I didn't know of the Matt Helm connection. I always learn something on the FL. Thanks! And, I like JW Blue but agree with some of the comments that it is way overpriced. The Gold is a better choice but is still overpriced. I don't ever...

    Bogart, Cagney, pin-stripes, fedoras, Thompson machine guns & Dames

    My viewing of the movie "To Have and Have Not" as an impressionable teenager in the late 1970s is directly related to why my daughter's name is Lauren. John

    Show us your Guns!

    I'm glad this thread is still around - After I couldn't find it in the Great Outdoors, I did a global search for any thread with "guns" in the title. This thread did not come up. Why would that not happen? On a happier note - two new additions to the vintage WWI collection: 1917...

    What happened to the "Show us your guns" thread?

    First it gets moved from the "Display Case" and then it disappears? A guy leaves for a couple of months and things change. I hate change. John

    And Ode to the British Service Revolver

    My all time favorite revolver (edging out the third and fourth models "army" Merwin Hulberts by a hair) - Webley WG in .455/.476 - Cogswell and Harrison retailed; probably for an officer on his way to the Boer War. Beautifully made and the smoothest double action ever.

    Why was this topic moved from the display case to the great outdoors? John
