now $2000 in 1977 is about $10 K today but still when you look at some of the auction figures on SMG's and military auto's today... oh and remember when they used to sell complete, quality suppressor "kits", no FFl 3 required? Legal until it was assembled, then, not so much. LOL, that was a hell of a ATF loophole.

I always wanted a Thompson.

Yep, on my bucket list as well. Used to be many police departments (even small ones) and prisons had those. The smart dept's hung on to them until the 2000's and auctioned them off. St Louis had 20 or 30 of them that they sold for maybe 20K each back in 2017. Nowadays that's a real bargain
Chicago typewriters are cool but my bucket list would have to be a BAR hands down.

I am crazy for them. I got to shoot one at a shooting club event a long time ago and I've wanted one ever since. That and an original Browning ma deuce would be my lotto money buys.

I love wing shooting!
Years ago I beat the Alaska state skeet handicap champion by one point in a round of 25 birds - (My
He was shooting an Italian over/under that I couldn't pronounce, much less afford at that time & I had my trusty 870.

Those 870's are great hunting guns, bullet proof (so to speak). I'm shooting a Russian Baikal semi-auto.

Those are great guns too, very light! My Baikal is great for ducks, but it's heavy, luckily I use a boat to get to where I hunt so I'm not lugging it far. I also hunt in salt water and the Baikal is camo coated so corrosion issues are minimal. Problem with the Baikal is that due to our current relationship with Russia, I cannot get parts in the US, have to go through Canada.

Is elk steak good? I passed a restaurant on Main Street that said “ Hunters welcome!” Elk steak now available. Sounds so good!

Over the limit! it's 12 zucchini and 6 yellow squash.
Elk is the Bomb! You'll love it.
All Elk that is commercially sold is not wild - that would be illegal to sell, however much of the legally sold elk is free range.

Beaver For Breakfast
One of the kids pointed out a beaver cruising around the lake. I retrieved my sound suppressed Remington 700 bolt-action rifle and dispatched the beast from the back porch.
