COLT .45's - WWII Matching Commemoratives

[Jefpainthorse]

Well, I can justify shooting a classic that has already been shot... but these... they haven't even been racked... their virgins.... I couldn't bring myself to taint them.

Last time I was at the Smithsonian (not to mention a few other museums I broke out in hives... M1's with 1 digit serial numbers, 1911's that were toolroom guns.... 1 of 1000 Winchester rifles that lived in a velvet lined case......


"must shoot, must shoot....."

In all seriousness I wouldnt rack those guns... but I'd have to fight the urge!

You know, all four times I've been to DC, the American History Smithsonian has been closed one way or another.

It's like I'm destined never to see it.

No joke, the first year I went, I literally just stepped in the door and passed through security and some bonehead decided to drive a big John Deere into the Washington Monument reflection pool, and said he had planted bombs around the city... so they ushered us out.

Every other time, it has been closed for remodeling.

I would love to have something like that. I thought they were beautiful too, however I can't justify buying guns I'll never shoot (besides I'm I'm currently saving up for an Ed Brown). I have one gun I'll never shoot but it was a gift from my Dad from 40 years ago. Too bad you had to sell them.

If I had the type of money necessary to buy those, I would probably donate them to a museum. That condition, with everything how it is, those are museum pieces. That's just my opinion. Take it for as little as it's worth
