I damn near died but didn't so I gave myself a treat...

...before the hospital bills hit. Now on it's way is an 1891 Argentine Mauser long rifle to keep my cavalry carbine company. Yeah, with shipping, transfers, and bcg the price OTD will be pushing the high edge but I couldn't help myself. Serial number puts it as being made in 1893 but the seller insisted on going through and FFL (god, how I hate SB941). http://www.gunbroker.com/item/618621626 It should arrive next week.

I died once. But they brought me back.

According to your logic.
This might explains all the guns?

 

[mrblond]

maybe they will REALLY like each other and you will end up with a few broomhandles in the future

Thanks guys. I had a serious COPD flare up and my BP was off the scale so I spent 5 days at PSVMC. Great staff but otherwise a lousy hotel. According to package tracking I should have the Argy by Wednesday and then followed by my favorite activity; disassembly and inspection followed by many photos for my records. I love the smell of gun oil in the morning.
