Bought this 25 years ago, the day i turned 18. $85.00. I put the folding stock on it, and painted the camo myself. Still love this gun. Havent been out shooting in years, but I think I may go soon.

How do you like it?

It’s fantastic. Ammo is pricey, but that’s understandable. FMJ isn’t sold to public.

I've heard that about the ammo.
I guess thats one reason they make .22's

Picked up a Tommy gun in 45ACP

Why is the barrel so long?

16 inch barrels are a requirement

View attachment 192479 View attachment 192480 View attachment 192481 Here is my Browning .12 gauge (Light Twelve) Auto 5 semiautomatic shotgun, made in Belgium in 1970. A bit heavy to carry in the field for a length of time, but super in a duck blind.

great shotgun…


was duck hunting w/ guy who owned one of these…he shot the 1st mallard in the morning and took his browning w/ him during the retrieval and splashed fresh water on it in the boat. By the time he got back into his blind rafts of mallards were flying over us and he stood up to fire and nothing happened…long to short the freezing weather froze up his auto and all we heard was him screaming about how his gun was the finest belguim made shotgun in the world. We all told him to stfu and deal w/ it. He had to walk back to his PU truck and warm up his gun, by the time he got back into the field/blind we had all limited out and were headed for the barn.

never forgot that…funny stuff.

Daniel Defense mk18 pistol I finished up today. Was going to go all black but didn't have the parts laying around here. SBA3 pistol brace, eotech, troy iron sights, magpul grip and hand stop. Vickers sling. May switch out the eotech for an aimpoint micro, probably will.

The other pistol is my shorty 7.62x39 which I have to add some things to.

I know nothing about guns,and he was into antiques and had this stuff laying around.....
What type of gun would you use to shoot them.....?
The top pic,the box looks old along with the ammo,and would they even be safe to shoot.......??

An M1 Garand or any 30-06 Rifle.
Probably safe to shoot but this ammo has corrosive primers.

So in other words,they have no type of value othrr than whatever ammo costs......??

The trace box looked old and was not sure if they fit any type of gun anymore......

There are a lot of .30/06 rifles still around but I doubt there's much market for tracer rounds.

Found a box of identical St Louis Ordinance tracer rounds for $25 just now. But that box was close to mint. ($1.25/round).

Looks like it’s WWII era based on the other packaging they have. Plant closed in 1989.

Be cool to display. But not sure Id fire it.
