Lugers, M11911s, tommy guns, AK47s, USAS12s, MAC 10s, Browning
water-cooled 30 cals., M14s and a lot of others.

Cash would be good (my pensions don't pay all that much), but I'm willing
to listen to barter or trade offers.

What gives with the post? I thought you where playing possum for the next
few years.]<<<<<

Let's see, let's see, where to start... think pistols first.

M1911s are always good, as are FN or Browning High-Powers. Good ones
to restore, old ones to cannibalise for spares.

Thompsons and MAC10s and AKs, oh my! A good Thompson would be a
fine thing to have.

One thing I've been looking for for a while without much luck is a FN-FAL.
First rifle I was issued was a HAR, and I'd like to sort of trace the
ancestry... any luck?

Any other exotica in there, I'd be interested in too. What say I drop by
and we talk it over in person? I'm in Seattle at the moment, where are
you?


As for the post... blame Stephanie. She and I were discussing life, the
universe and everything, and beer was involved, and, well, I forgot that
it's well-nigh impossible to outdrink a shapeshifter, and that was when
Kneejerk's post came in, and we thought it was so funny that it deserved
a reply.

It's _incredible_ what seems funny when you're most of the way through a
crate of Fuller's London Pride.

Have to wait and see whether it's a problem or not. Wouldn't mind being
back - there's a lot of people I miss.

Speaking of which, I think I'm about to dig myself in a little deeper and I
don't even have the excuse of being drunk. Such is life...]<<<<<

Sorry, no FN-FALs. All I have in the way of assualts is M14s, AK47s and
Galils. Not much in the way of exotics, either. Mostly just standard
hardware (well, I suppose those old WWII German Alpine Unit carbines might
be considered exotic...). I do have a weird gun though. Seems someone
modified a USAS12 to fire the old Dragon's Breath phosphurus rounds. I
really don't want to know why they wanted a full-auto fire-spitter.

Ah yes, drinking. I've gotten into a fair bit of trouble from that
myself.]<<<<<
