Hello. That is an enviable collection of US arms. Congratulations. I personally only have one French arm, a MAS 49/56. I have only visited France once. Well actually multiple times but at the time I was living in London. I only lived in France once. Thank you for visiting our country so many times and I'm glad you had an enjoyable stay. Do you mind if I ask what state you visited? I live in Austin Texas, but I have lived in Boston, Manhattan, and Los Angeles.

They are very fine revolvers. A friend at my club inherited one, and I intend to try it out.

Hye all, thanks for your welcome.

MikesM44, in fact I visited several states, California, Utha, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, a bit Montana and South Dakota, Florida, I went 3 times in Knob Creet too, so had a view in Kentuky and Iowa, I visited your state too Texas! Mainly South along the border to Big Bend NP, and Austin for sure.
Woody Texan guys! Next trip will be in Texas again, my wife and I just got our flying tiket, we'll arrive in Houston, and plate to have a trip to New Mexico, we are looking forward to see US and Texas again. For sure we'll be close to Austin!

Let me know may be I can help if ones plan to come to France, would be my pleasure.

Wow. That is quite a few states. I personally have yet to go to Big Bend. I am hoping over Spring Break this March I will be able to go. There is quite a bit to see even just here in Austin. My girlfriend lived in Paris for 2 or 3 years, but I cannot recall which part. I have only been to Paris, but not to anywhere else in France. She would very much like to go back, she is currently getting her PHD in French, Russian and German literature so she is fluent in all three. Personally I'd like to see Normandy and the beaches as I know for sure my grandfather was there on D-Day.

Do you have any plans while in Austin?

[scuba2A]

Not any plan, but have a look at LaRue tactical! Last time we where Lucky and visited SDI and met Ms Skinner, she is a very nice woman.

We have been living in Corsica, an island in Mediterranean sea, nice place to leave with beachs and mountains all around. We lived in Paris before, love the city but mentaly is special there, and thinks changed a lot last years.
Your girfriend is Lucky, I which I am fluent even in French! By the way sorry for my bad English!

I visited beachs in Normandy, some years ago, impressive places and huge cemetarries. Places around Verduns, and Chemins des Dames Worth to see to, there is something realy special.
