I'd bet my paycheck that torot hasn't even seen 10 Garands, let alone own one. He is a total collectivist and anti American activist and fake.

What's your paycheck? Money where your mouth is? Or back under your rock?

Almost 10? How did you stop hoarding and return to a stable, decision making existence with a satiated level of serotonin?

I got into Axis bringbacks.

I read your own words. You said;

I stopped at less than ten so no problems here.

Less than ten. ZERO is less than ten. I have finally deciphered your posts. Until I see proof you have "a collection," of more than ZERO then ZERO it is. By the way, were your parents married? Prove it and I will stop calling you a bastard. While you are at it post your tax return. If you don't, that is proof you are hiding something.

Put up or shut up.

Getting back to the original topic, I note that Liberals are always screaming that we don't spend enough on education, yet a major reason why 'education" is such a waste of money is drugs by students and staff.

Treacherous waters to navigate, as fakes abound. I sold all of my axis items, one particular piece really gave me the creeps. A occupation made Browning High Power.

I've retained only a few family items and photographs instead. They have real, tangible value to me.

Note the name of the OP and the thread date. If you're curious how the situation resolved, some kroil and moderate applications of torch heat got it done. Yes, there was a fair bit of residue on the pin from whatever that black crap is that the Greeks use. That rifle had low miles (TE=2, MW=1, original HRA barrel), so I have no clue why the Greeks decided to refinish it. Shoots to USGI specs, with lockup, sights, everything nice and tight on it. SA op rod, very low miles, piston right at .526, tab shows little wear. And the AP can--it's not such a big deal anymore after the CMP 2010 sale, but at the time it was kind of fun.

Trax: Fair point, so I stick to the "middle class" items. So yes to P.38s, no to P.08s if you get my drift. One doesn't need too many P38s in the 42-44 period, nor will a collector get rich there, but those are the years where nobody really messes with them. Nice clean pieces of history.

Red's laugh might be one of those scary ones. Anyways, by his logic, Trump must really have something to hide.

We all have something to hide, usually from the wife. That is one of the nice things about having a room separate from the house. My wife wouldn't know what is new or not [confidentially I don't either at times].

"confidentially I don't either at times" I like it when I give up looking for something I'm pretty sure I had . Go buy another one and then almost immediately find the one I had . Used to be a fellow I would shoot with always said he would love to get turned loose in my building , LOL . Over the years I have managed to go through my stuff and sell or give away extra's or things I no longer need .

"It's here, I just don't know where here is!" I have often said over the last ten years that we have lived here. We moved from a 4 story 2,000 square foot house to 1/3 the space. I loved the Victorian house, utilities killed us. I have had stuff packed away that I am going thru and finding many things that I rebought or forgot I had .22 ammo still in the Walmart bag, 3 M1 and 7 M14 stocks. My little building is filling up fast, glad I have an addition already started just waiting for the weather to break.

Any good paying job that can be automated attracts capital to do that. The next big prize? Truck drivers, whose net income since the 80's has gone down since unions got busted.

I know a little bit about truck drivers having as many as 60 working for me at a time and I can tell you the average driver is overpaid for the amount of work performed and if you factor in bad attitude along with other undesirable traits most of them are lucky to have a job. Depending on how much work I can coax out of a driver my guys will make 45 to 100 thousand a year and if a union were to represent them productivity would drop so low it would bust my company.

So we agree. There is an incentive to automate these jobs, and when gone they will be missed.

I don't see much automation for the trucks that weigh #80,000. In fact I don't see any automation that will replace a driver in a #80,000. lb. truck. So far all of the automation has just made the drivers job easier.

And here in Canada, recreational marijuana will become legal in July. I am just looking forward to what the authorities will do about people driving under the influence of pot. As far as I know, there is still no easily applied roadside test for determining if someone is too high to drive. This is what happens when you have a hip prime minister who wants to be loved by young voters.

Automation today lands jetliners that weigh a good bit more than 80K#. The physics of higher mass are programmed into the controllers, and in that respect a larger less agile unit is easier to code than a small nimble one.
