Only shooters, I don't collect anything that I can't shoot, Wallhangers etc... I also shy away from commemoratives except my Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Freedom Arms Premiere Grade .454 casull, It had already been shot when I got it so I shoot it Alot!

I went Half and Half too.

Been squirling away Winchesters for a while... at least before a good pre 40 '94 got to be worth than my car.

Weak spot for SW revolvers... working on a pre lock collection a little at a time... and a couple are shooters and CCW guns

I have a good Garand, and very good 03 A3... still looking for a M1 Carbine and I'd like to land a GI 1911 before it's all over.

Once upon a time I had accumulated a small lot of Colt SAA revolvers... mostly from estate sales and garage sales (a while ago, fellas ... a long while ago)... I sold those pistols short back in the early 80's when times were hard. I could nearly retire (ok... for a couple of years anyway) on what those 7 revovlers are worth today.

Half and half here too. I am a weird one I guess, I love the old military rifles and love to shoot them but hate shooting one in original condition because of collectors value. I buy those that have been made into sporters and shoot them.

Hey what 17 is that in your profile picture? Not to many of those still flying. I know a guy who piloted one for many years at airshows, cant remember the name of the bird though. I'll have to see if I can find a picture.

That was taken last summer at Wiley Post. It's based in Miami (FL) and a couple guys from Tulsa arranged for it to come to OK for a week or so.....they gave rides around OKC....a lazy loop over Penn Square, downtown, then over the lake (Overholser) and back to Wiley....cost $400 for about 15-20 mins.
