He has the sickness! In a few years you’ll have a running catalog of surplus brass head stamps in your head, Weapons drawings from 1911 will impress you more than any Rembrandt, and any firearm built after 1970 will actively repel you. A few years after that you’ll have drawers full of single use tools, drifts and doodads you won’t remember what they’re for. And a few years after that you’ll decide everything needs a scope and you’ll obsess about NDT mounts. What happens a few years after that...ask me in few years! ������

I'm thinking your collection will never become complete, me Bucko. Here's to trying, though! Congratulations!

Yep, there's always "the next thing", rifle or accessories, it never stops, just slows down as factors such as, space, rarity and cost begin to bite......

It's a sickness that has no cure, so I'll just have to endure.

"One more to complete the collection " . Who has said those words ? You are in the starting stage of addiction , it only gets more severe . Mine started with my first cap gun and I haven't stopped since . Tried stamps but didn't give me the rush I needed . Nice guns you got .

It has probably been the same for many of us: an interest in history, your first firearm is what is common (and relatively inexpensive) at the time, then something else comes available catches your interest and then you've caught the bug.

A good start in a bad disease
I'd like the M39...had one, but a bit tinkered with, so I sold it...
Dumbest thing ever!
