Aaron, Slowly but surely I have been selling off some of the pistols I have aquired over the years but are not my primary collecting interest. It's all hard earned money I can assure you.
I thought I would rather have one beauty to occupy space in my safe than a dozen so-so guns.
Carbines are pricey but again, so is most of the Navy and Artillery's I like.
One odd bit of trivia...I am 57 years old and have never in my life bought a lottery ticket! And it's been 25 years since I have set foot in a Mall. Weird huh? Jerry Burney

Gee, I have to decide..A 10 OZ bottle of water or a Lottery ticket? The odds are better that a mountain Lion will pounce on me and eat me than winning anything on the lottery. Guess I'm just not much of a gambler. I know it gives poor people hope but...Jerry Burney

Some wag once labeled lotteries as "The stupidity tax". I am inclined to agree.

Jerry, Not wasting your money on such things as the lottery, is why you can now afford a carbine. I presume that you want a M1902, not the less expensive M1920 variety. TH

Tom, That's a good one! I had to wait in line the other day while some idiot fooled with a gob of lottery tickets...

Tom, I wish I could afford an 02 but I have been offered a DWM 1920 and I hope it's what it's supposed to be. When I find out more about it I will confer with those who have contacted me. Jerry Burney
