Salvaging another old post.

Well I was going through my Carbines today & realized I have 13 M44s'. I'm thinking I need another one soon to get past that number! :shock: But then again, 13 is better than none, right? :lol:

took some group photo's for my book & figured I would post them for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy :)

Nice bunch, '47 will come, of course it may take a lifetime of waiting, but they can elevate the bed in the old folks home so you can put a few rounds out the window :)

If you don't hear back from Ron right away it is because he is busy getting a flight to Florida.
