    Show us your Guns!

    I remember back in the 80's Beach City Armories had 2 huge cardboard boxes of Enfield pistols. They had the web holsters and lanyards with them. I thought about buying one but the old regrettable phrase came up " I can always get one later !". Yep still regretting it but I got a brand new...

    Strategy of the Campaign in Western Europe

    Interesting any chance of reprinting those for public consumption ? Churchill wanted to conquer Europe by going up the "boot" of Italy. We now know how that turned out.

    An interesting observation

    The high lace collars are exactly what I am talking about. It is always seems like some old granny has that kind of bib lacy collar thing.

    I agree Colt firearms have gone down hill. It's a shame as I'm a big Colt fan their AR-15 are not even desireable. I think when they bowed to Political pressure gun owners felt like Colt sold out.

    Model aircraft - In the larger scale

    I'm sure Chino Airport would be interested in that Mustang. They have rebulit Fighters long as I can remember. I remember when they rebuilt that Zero years back.

    Anderson Shelter....

    We used to make Forts/Bunkers in our backyard to the dismay of our parents. Ours were fairly easy though a 5-6 foot hole with a plywood roof. In our fort would be candles, cigarettes and Playboys ( Hey it was a "Man Cave" !). Our parents weren't about to crawl in our fort so it was cool.

    I always wanted an old SAA but I read somewhere you have to put as much money into it as the gun itself. Tuning it with new trigger springs and the like is that true ? I hear the Italians make a great repro is that true ? My firearms are all WWII so the Old West is not forte'.

    How do you save a smoked cigar ?

    Gentlemen thank you, guess I'll start ordering 5 x 50s instead of the Churchills. How do you Gentlemen handle the hard draw ? I had a Cuban neighbor when I was a kid who always put a toothpick in the end. I always wondered why he did it guess I'll try that.

    Fascintated by black and white movies.

    Black and whites are classic one has to remember there is no color to contrast the scenes. Next time you watch a BW watch how they use the lighting. They had to use various shades of grey to contrast a shot. For instance I was watching an episode of "Blondie" and there was a scene in Dagwoods...

    How do you save a smoked cigar ?

    How does one save a Cigar ? There are times when you can't smoke it all. I dislike leaving a half smoked cigar especially expensive ones. I tried putting it back in a humidor but it stank it up. I usually smoke the whole thing but lately I've had to put them on hold.

    An interesting observation

    I was watching "The big Store" with the Marx bros and was looking at the styles of clothing. The Women in the Movie were wearing dresses that I thought were what only old ladies would wear. Then it dawned on me that is what the older ladies were wearing when they were young ! Styles will come...

    Are cell phones the new pocket watch?

    Reenacting the Warsaw Uprising?

    Funny I was just talking to a Pole at work about this last week. I will direct him to the videos. Was this being filmed for a Movie or just a "Public Show" ? It is quite extensive, well done and costly. Just the cost of blanks make it very expensive. Like most guys my age we grew up with...

    We've all heard these stories before about Japanese soldiers holding out for years.

    I remember when Onoda came out that was in the early 70s. I think I have the article somewhere that I clipped back then.

    GALLIPOLI (1981)

    Great Movie ! I remember seeing the Ads in the paper trying to figure out the picture. It starred a young Mel Gibson before he hit the big time. I appreciate the final scene because if you have ever been that scared you can identify. To look at the guy next to you and him at you knowing he'll go...

    It's a Sten gun allright, If my information is correct it was developed by 2 designers Shepard and Turpin. They worked for Enfield (Shepard-Turpin-Enfield- STEN) at a cost of about 6.00 a pop it was easily manufactured. From what I understand it was made in 9mm because the Brits had captured a...
