    My grandfather took me all the time as a kid to walk the waterfront of old town Alexandria and peek into the overflowing warehouses of Interarms and we would end up at the store after him letting me climb all over the artillery pieces out front.

    Okay Randy Lahey from Saint Louis...Never mention on a public forum you've read "Unintended Consequences"...Okay Randy?

    :)

    Bring it. I'll admit to having an early edition with the "correct" FBI sniper's name. It is a cautionary tale of why we must reign in those gun nuts.


    Gotta say though, I hate when old guys start talking about surplus arms in the 1960s. Piles of 1911s at shows for $75.00/choice, etc.

    Man, a Puteaux 25mm for the equivalent of $1000 in 2018 dollars? Damn, I was born in the wrong decade by far. I was looking at one at Knob Creek a year or so ago for about $12,000.

    It's pretty clear why most of the guys with all the really cool NFA items are so old... they all bought them when they were super cheap.
