I just put a fresh coat of tungue oil on the stock, and added two mess kits, K-bar, Betty Grable, Kilroy was here, Black MRT Sling, and made sure my maps were in the photo from the 506thPIR D-Day landing and OP for the crossroads.
So if you got em' post em, lets see some intrest here in real picture taking and some man cave eye candy with our relics.
Holy cow, that's what I'm talkin' bout' keep em coming, Thats awesome by the way "Garandrew"

I shot at Blue Trail too, but none of these...I did get my 1st good WW2 M1 from Meriden Gun Shop in 1979..$475.00!
both of you guys have a nice wall spread. I have pretty much one of every rifle from every country that fought in WWII, and have been tempted to create my own war room, but always worried about someone breaking in, so they stay in the safe. If I could trade my Tea cup yorkie for a doberman and leave him in the room to guard, I would be able to do it! It's bad, when you have to change your habits because of crime....

Yeah, I understand completely, and all I can say about that is, go ahead and slowly build your wall. Take your time, and think about where to put the odds and ends, and do like I did, just use one rifle, and some collectible military surplus items, or something to fill the void. I had an awesome patch collection I was going to use, that had every unit in WWII. It turns out my mom yard sale'd it for me years ago and didn't tell me. I only missed it when I took everything in the storage shed out, and put it back in, not having found it. "That's when she came out there and told me" Anyway, you don't have to fill the wall with guns is my point, you can still keep your other stuff in your safe, and change them out now and then to suit your own personal needs. "I fear the same things you do, about having all my eggs out of the basket so to speak" It wasn't important to me to put everything I have on the wall. First off, my wall would fall down and second, I don't trust my young nephews to leave my stuff alone. Heck when I'm not home, the dangerous and important things get put back away, and when I'm here I don't have to worry, cause I'm right here... looking at it myself. "So build your wall" Have fun and be inspired, just put it away when your not there, and keep it safe.Quote:

There is a thread I Posted in Milsurps general discussions forum titled An Amazing display of the ETO that I searched and brought it to the top if any of you haven't seen it. I was fascinated with the map and did my best to blow it up. I thought the map was a Great read.
