Help me!

[Drydock]

Today at my company picnic I won a $1000 gift card from Cabelas!  What should I get from the Gun Library?  Help me spend my companys money!

[River City John]

Get something you would normally never consider buying unless you came into some kind of windfall . . .

Find yourself a 1st generation Colt SAA!

[Tascosa Joe]

Nice prize. 

[Galen]

You could buy me a beer?

Find yourself a 1st generation Colt SAA!

For $1,000? Maybe five or ten times that for a 1st Gen Colt's! 

[Good Troy]

With some extra change ($500!) you could get an Allin Conversion Trapdoor that I saw in there library recently.  I think it was listed as an 1868 Allin Conversion in 45-70...I'm pretty sure they meant it was a 50-70!

I suspect this was more in line with RC Johns advice, but I've always wanted one.  Pick it up at the St Louis store later this week. The plan will be to eventually SBR the barrel, and replace the forestock with a military one, thus recreating the USN contract 1928.  Then I can Zoot Shoot in my Whites as a Sand Pebble.

Congratulations on your choice, and a nice plan of action.

Just too cool!

Congrats.

Good choice! I thought about suggesting one.

[Sagebrush Burns]

Most excellent!  You will bring to to the Grand Muster next summer for show and tell?

[pony express]

Since he swapped of his Charger for a full size pickup, I expect he can bring his whole collection to the Muster!

    I'd have traded up for the truck too. And I think we could carry a small gun shop on the back of that mother!

One of these, just for the small stuff not worth breaking out the Flatbed . . .

[Good Troy]

I hope that you didn't trade a "classic" Charger for the truck!  I miss the '67 Charger with a 440 magnum engine, 727 Torqueflite tranny, Carter ( I think) 4-bbl and fold down rear bucket seats!

[pony express]

It was just the modern version.

[Drydock]

2010 Challenger.  Got married a few years back, wife has her car, don't need two cars, pickup comes in handy, and the diesel gets great mileage!  And I can carry more guns, ammo, gear, tentage, cots, rugs, chairs . . .

Well if one cannot civilize them with a Krag, a Chicago Typewriter should do the job handily.

Wonderful choice, one of my great regrets is never having had the chance to handle or fire a Thompson.  They were pretty much out of the inventory by the time I was in the Army, we did have M3 Grease guns for the VTR crew, but that is rather like a VW than a Caddy.  Never fired them either as we could not routinely get 45 ammo

Hope to drool on it at the muster.
