Old guns

I had a bunch of older guns at one time. Thinnin the herd a bit last few years. Still have a few Older M-70's in mostly harder to find cals. A couple or 3 or four SxS guns that are all worth a LOT more than I paid for 'em. A few sporterized 03's and a nice 03A4 with no stock...given to me by a WWII marine pilot who got it in the south pacific...from a "mud" marine as he called him. Most of what I have now that mean the most to me are the ones like that A4..got 'em from older friends that are gone now. Have a 1911 National Match bought new in 1958 Mail order from Klein's Sporting Goods in Chicago Ill by a friend who is now gone..Another WWII vet. Got all his guns when he had to move out of his home..Got them at a fair price or free and will never sell 'em. Some of the guns aren't worth too much but the memories are worth much more than the guns. Exept for the A4 I shoot 'em all..ocassionally
