ANOTHER Military Arms Collector is on the loose.

Today, I walked my son-in-law through one vault of the collection. Wade had never handled a M1884 Trapdoor, a M1898 Krag Rifle, a Tokarev M1940 or a Swiss M1911 Rifle. At the end of the tour, he had a thousand questions about various arms. He is relieved to know he will get them all one day in my Will.

I see a few happy years of shooting, cleaning and reloading for various arms. I must say an eager Pilgrim makes this task all the better. I will get to tell the pedigree of each arm as I know it. I will rest easier in the hereafter knowing my treasured arms are in very good hands.

Always nice to know they will be appreciated by somebody else down the road. Maybe someday I will get that feeling myself.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
