    I glommed a number of his guns at his estate sale and blame him, as much as you can blame a dead man for anything that happens after he dies, for turning me into a milsurp addict...

    There were so many guns that it took 6 or 7 auctions over a 2 year period to sell them. That doesn't include the 3 ammo-only auctions, plus his sledge hammers...
