It was fun while it lasted. :eek:
They will have some "junk" barreled receivers for sale before too long.

Now we will see how carbine addict handle going into withdrawals...
Not me... won't happen to me... I stopped..... oh, I wonder when will the barreled receivers open up???
The average price of a carbine might start going up a bit too. Maybe time to pull some out and sell them.:dunno:
Sell away....the real carbine addicts will be needing a fix.Quote:

Jim, if you are selling from your gun locker, I better get my credit card paid off first. Of course you could just open the vault and turn your head for 15 minutes....Quote:

Jim, I know what you collect. Do you know anyone who collects old postage stamps from "downunder". Cheers, Mike.

It would be interesting to know what others collect besides Carbine's.
Other items for me are:
Knives & Bayonets
Canvas items
Pistols
Revolvers
Baseball, Football (American), Basketball, Hockey, and Golf cards. Concentrating on Willie Mays items.
Mechanical Razorblade sharpeners from 1890's to 1950's
Stroppers
Coins
Pocket watches
Shell Oil items
Pinball machines (down to 4 from 17)
Harley items
Other odds and ends
Wee Forest Folk
My wife complains I have too much stuff and don't display any of it, so why keep it. Hummm, women. But as retirement nears, might be time to start retrieving the invested money in collections. My daughter died in her teens so no kids or grand kids to hand them down, and NO, not looking to adopt anyone.
Jim
Sounds like an episode of "Hoarders"!
Me,
Harleys
Military vehicles
Bayonets
ex wives
That is funny as hell.Quote:

I'm sadly down to three pinballs, and repair and collect watches too. I learned how to FIX pinballs when I owned dozens, that's a valuable skill too. I have hundreds of books almost all about history and war, so that's there to do also. Hollinger's military vehicles is very interesting. But they do take up space. One of my friends has about 7 or 8 vintage Sportsters, ranging from Mark Brelsford's factory TT bike to a '64 he bought new. He also has 3 32s, one a Victoria, one a roadster and the last a tudor with FI Corvette and Jaguar running gear. Oh and a '67 Corvette big block roadster with 28K original miles. And then some classic cars. I picked up my bad habits from these guys. Another friend has over 700 pinball machines, he's serious about it.
Garands, lots of them
I collect bills... and I know alot about paying them... and paying them.... and paying them... oh, and I collected my first ex-wife... and paying them...
I ordered a underwood for my 1st carbine got confirmation and then told out of stock.
called after hours and Melody answered and changed to npm and the next day my card is charged and they are out so I'm the guy who is to blame.
special thanks to Melody and
cmp for doing right by me and
and hope they get some more
carbines cause I'm already feel-
light headed.
rifles,pistols,bayonets,knifes,ammo,cards,diecast
I'm surprised I'm still happily married.
ARs, 18 of 'em so far.
Awe shucks! I realy wanted to pick up another racker to make into an M1A1 (repro stock) to go with my Inland. I had to choose, however, between a second carbine, and finishing my retro AR project, a semi auto XM177E2 (which I just did). I carried one for awhile as an LE trunk weapon. I also carried a GAU-5/P in the AF reserves as an SP.
Oh well, I am VERY happy with my awesome shooting CMP racker with its 1+ ME!!!!!
Great point, this also has resulted in the drastic price change in everything they sell, save Garands and Carbines.Quote:
