:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Good thinking, at least for you who need to hide rifles, me, I just bring them inside and slap them down on the kitchen table, in a few weeks or months I find a place to put them :lol:

I don't have enough table space, and under the bed currently has long term camping meals stored there, the closets are full, the ammo bunker is full, and I can't bring myself to store in the attic...And she's getting real tired of looking at them against her furniture.
At this rate I'll be storing them on the master bedroom floor and she'll have to step between them to get into bed.

You can sneak the bayonet and other goodies in later. And, don't forget to put the box in your car/truck and take it to the dumpster at work.

No. no! Keep the boxes. That way she won't be able to tell a new box among the old ones...

That so needs to be your signature line. That is classic! :chuckles:

I warn you though, once you start buying M91's the wife might want to kill you again when she sees the bank statements. In the Mosin collecting world it's like graduating from drinking beer to main lining heroin. Them long rifles are addicting!

I just bring it in and hang it up. She says"where did that one come from?" I bought it, traded whatever. Course now they come to the door when I'm at work so can't hide that.
She'll get over it our she won't. I don't think we need another gd tomatoe plant but do i say anything?!? Sorry...carry on

Yuk :shock: !!! No bugs in my food thank you. So far I have not seen any worms in the Old Man's tomato plants. I steal a tomato or two as I go by the little garden in the summer.

Because of Ya'lls constant bantering about the carbines, I've ordered one Russian M44 now just waiting on shipping info.

Russian Refurm for $147.05 out the door from Widener's of Johnson City, TN.

Just another to add to the rack of M-N's (22 as of today & not counting the 2 Finn's M27 & 39)

This madness has got to stop...or I'll break the bank...

Sorry it just turned into an instant classic line...of coke.
Hey I have snuck some in too. I may have been caught but she just wasn't sure enough of herself to pull the trigger on me. :D
