Thanks to J. Sabato for his 2006 link to theuncleguns.com
 

While searching old posts I came across one for "Sniper Artillery". Very interesting photos of Luger based creations. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. references were many, But John posted a link to theuncleguns.com. I went to this site, saw the guns and gear being reproduced today. Must be a good market judging by the prices and variety. What struck me was the entire 4 years of the show is available on DVD. I was 11 yrs old when this premiered, a very impressionable age. This show along with 'Combat", "Gallant Men", "Burke's Law" and "Honey West" etc.. can definitely create a subliminal mindset whose origins I am just now starting to understand. Last year I purchased all 5 seasons of "Combat", what-a-series. What they did on a weekly basis, Hollywood Turds today COULD NOT do in 6 months for less than $100M per episode. Anyway, I called Frys Electronics, and 3 hours and $173 later I had 105 episodes of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. Tame, compared to today's CG fantasy, but consider it being viewed in 1964 by an 11 yr old. I nearly cried when the Army dropped the M14 in favor of the M16, but I digress. If you want to see a lot of Lugers, MP 40's, K98's and tricked out P 38's and M1 carbines not to mention alot of good looking women then this is the show for you. best regards Joe :evilgrin:

Joe, Must be real quiet up in Cave Creek this time of year! Fond memories...

Jerry Burney

Hello Jerry, Actually it's not that quiet as this is the start of Bike Week. Next weekend is Fiesta Days there will be a parade through town and one side of the street will be shut down for Bath Tub races and other events. I live on the north slope of Black Mtn. and if I can't see it, I can definitely hear it. I've lived here since '93 and have sure seen it change. The main street is now 4 lanes with a landscaped division. Still don't have a stoplight yet. Harolds and The Buffalo Chip still draw the biggest crowds. The bikes are like locust this week and next week it will be horses and cowboys, but I quess that is why I moved up here from Scottsdale. If you ever come up this way, please contact me. Best Regards Joe
