[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4163262, member: 13337"] Not my entire life,,, Just my decisions about guns. For a long time I was infatuated,,, With collecting (amassing) pairs of handguns,,, That were the same with one being .22 LR and the other centerfire. I actually have some very nice boxed pairs,,, In most cases I only shoot the .22 LR,,, But all of them are functional. Several months back I met an individual through my Brother,,, He had a very nice collection of military rimfire trainers,,, When he opened his gun room and I saw the racks,,, I almost started drooling over them on the spot. He allowed me to fondle as many of them as I wanted,,, Now I've seen some large collections of fine guns,,, I've never been so envious in my entire life. He had well over 30 different rifles,,, All very nicely displayed in racks. According to him they all function properly,,, And he shoots each of them at least twice a year. He told me that a few of them were one-of-a-kind conversions,,, But that the majority of them were military original. Way back when I remember I passed up on a 1922 Springfield,,, The rifle was in excellent condition for it's age,,, I just couldn't see spending $300.00,,, For an old mil-surp .22 rifle. I was a fool! Now when I go to a gun show and see .22 trainers,,, Beat-up rifles are going for anywhere from,,, $600 to well over a grand. I have only purchased one mil-surp .22 rifle,,, It's a Polish WZ-48 single-shot,,, Superbly accurate specimen,,, I'm happy to own it. Oh well,,, Just reminiscing about past things. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
