carbine collector manifesto

19 gun Rack Pak Carbine Collection Here is what I feel is ultimate collectors pak at about price of a pick up truck. Quality and condition will set price as does in a pick up. Number one you need a orig 20 gun carbine rack, then you need the following makes Inland, winchester, Underwood, sag sg , saginaw s'g', IP, NPM, QHMC, IBM, Std Pro, Then add the following subs NPM-U, UN-Quality, Underwood B, T, S, and W. You now have 16 spaces filled. Then you want one 4 digit Inland, one 7xxxxxx gun(hopefully the fast one), or one rebuild with relocated serial gun, and then or a lineout , Bavarian and or Presentation gun to fill up most of the spaces of the rack. Then you need nice big gun safe to hide the rest in wife can't see nor then count. Always leave a blank spot in the rack you are looking to fill for that last carbine you need for your collection.. The reason for the hunt!!! This is a true carbine collectors manifesto.

You forgot to add the I.B.M. (AO) in the sub-contract list.
Now you need a bigger rack.

yeah--I forgot something else before when I posted before, carbines are confusing!!

It's a world wide problem Marcus, the female mind ! They see it as pointless owning 20 or 30 guns all the same ! Whereas you and I would see it as owning 20 or 30 guns all different ! I don't know how to solve the problem, Seth might ! Cheers Bud. Mike.

I'm also a wooden canoe nut, and it is the same age-old question, to which there is only one answer.

Question: "um, Dave, how many (canoes/paddles/carbines) do you actually need?"
Answer: "oh, just one more.................."

Why is it that THEY can own 20 pairs of the same type of shoes (that vary only iin color) and we can not own 20 of the same type of gun? :confused:

Funny you should use the term "manifesto". I generally think of that term as it relates to the '60's and all the liberals/communists/socialists/maxists who were declaring their freedom from something "western". Maybe we should be using carbine collecting as our "freedom manifesto" from the female co-habitation unit who often questions/challenges/degrades/complains about our RIGHT to collect these honorable pieces of history!

I agree with your manifesto of carbine collecting! :clap: Viva La Carbina! Viva Collecting! Down with hassling of collecting husbands! Down with buying shoes before guns! Viva MILSURP! :cheers:






I hope my wife doesn't read this forum thread :yikes:

My wife doesn,t find this a bit funny. :nono:

Marcus,

Have you got something against Rock-Ola? :dunno: You left them out. My first carbine was a Rock-Ola.

My favorite reply when someone asks how many guns, carbines or anything else I consider none of their business is “More than I need, not as many as I want!”

I am fortunate that my wife likes carbines and is ok with other guns as well. We are both children of WW 2 vets.

:rofl: I haven't thought of him in a long time. I enjoyed reading his long-winded, well thought out dissertations.

Yes, where is Seth? He was a riot on old Jouster. And he knew the players and always had some truth in his words of wisdom. That is why I think he made some so mad.

I always thought you were Seth! :lol:

I wasn't smart enough to be. I did post some when he did but he was not I.

Only the Shadow knows.

Bubba was my main suspect too Cafdfw, but at the time I didn't have enough evidence to make a comment and still don't. I'd still like to know who he was, he created a lot of humour on the threads. And he created a lot of balance between some guys who have since given up arguing their case. We could be going back 5 years here I guess. Whoever he was, he was a good man, with a great sense of humour !. Mike.

Yes, most of us miss old Seth. Every fake bit of him. Hey he told it like it was in his eyes. Real was fake and fake was real.

Was that your Seth-Ola?

I remember it well. The famous Seth-Ola.

I think Harlan had posted this. I don't know if he made it or got it from somewhere.

Jim, That is Funny.
I had not seen that before. Is it for sale? A true one of a kind. Ever who Seth is/wa,s he know many of the posters and I think met some of them at gun shows.

I want one of those!

Prolonged arguments about fake cartouches and half the time the guy was wrong. George on there in person slaughtering the King's English and writing his dyslexic arguments. Wow, it wasn't fun. Then Seth would just shut it all down with the definitive "Fake", no matter what. I learned pretty quickly who to ask for advice.
