I own them because i love to shoot and dont worry about losing any value by shooting. I guess if I had a real mint 21 or Navy it would be a safe queen but anything at 90% or less would get a workout a couple of times a month. I know some people are into the investment and that is good but the fun is shooting. I met a police officer today that did my prints to buy the M3 GG and he has never shot a full auto. I am going to take him to the range and watch the smile as he dumps 50. that to me is the real fun of the hobby. I appreciate the great information shared on this board.
Thanks

I will check back with you in a week or so to see if you are yet finished cleaning all your items.

Ah ..the MaDuece,Minimi,1919,and G3 belong to buddies..so I`m off the hook on cleaning those few...however if you want to lend a hand with the rest, Jim, I`ll save some room on the cleaning bench... ![]() ![]() |
I only clean what I get to shoot.
If you are ever in Florida let me know and i will bring the Hoppes, patches, rods and also the ammo to dirty the stuff up and throughly enough helping to clean the items.

Case closed no fun having them and not firing them. Besides how can a history buff get a better understanding of a weapon unless he learns by using. Had a Luger once, a fantastic piece of workmanship and design. But like all lugers, without the right ammo it would malfunction on a regular basis. Compared to the 1911 which works with most anything. So which would you have rather had in WW-I or WW-II. A book just does not make it real knowledge.
With three children, I just wish I could afford another SMG or two. Really would like either an MP-40, Beretta 38, Greasegun, M-2 carbine or a STEN. Have owned or shot all of the above except the STEN. Had to sell them to make the down payment on my house. Both have gone up in value, so I really don't regret it. Need a place to live.
Love to shoot them and wish I could more often. Class 3 friendly ranges are also an issue, usually can find a place to fire SMGs, but belt-fed is a hard thing to do, in SE Pennsylvania.
