Some Pics for Newbies

RK and Herb,

I'm with you guys. I have more guns than I care to admit, and few are in the same condition as they left the factory.

My Luger is a reblued 1936 Mauser (although I just bought a reconditioned one from Thor), my 1911's are highly modified GI guns, my Springfield has only the original action and barrel, etc. etc.

I can pick up any of my guns knowing they look great and will hit what I shoot at. This is a requirement for me--if they don't shoot, out they go.

The Luger is really neeeat, but I would hate to have a beat up rare one that would loose value if it were refinished. Mine shot a 35 shot 3" group today at 25 yards with 25 of the shots in a 1.5" hole just above the 10 ring. It's been 300 rounds since it was cleaned, and I did have one disappointing stovepipe with WallyWorld ammo.
