Some common and not-so-common grease guns

Awesome photos Frank. The plane mounted guns are a pretty wild idea.

I enjoyed these, but the pics of the multiple guns are just too much! Thanks.

For a weapon that served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East, spare parts are somewhat hard to find, except magazines, which are easily found NIW.

Frank, is the long gun rack photograph taken at the 22nd SAS base Hereford, UK? Just a guess based on the Hereford cow pattern on the rack.

Thanks for posting the photographs.

I'm with Bill (as usual).... seeing all those guns is like looking at the AZ plane graveyards after WW2 and seeing all those B17's, B24's, and now... they are all gone.

I guess we all dream of what we'd do if we had a time machine, bet on sports events (a la "Back to the Future" or buy stocks before they appreciated.  I would go back to the 60's (with a ton of cash) and buy machine guns.  Talked to a Vet today when he came to get a gun he'd ordered online, and he told me of seeing tons of British Enfield rifles in Germany when he served over there.  No way he could bring them into the US, but they were going for around E70 (euros) each.  He said many were in pristine condition.  Too soon old, too late smart.
