Re: 2007 Stembridge Armory Collection Auction Booklet

They had Sgt. Schultz' Krag from Hogan's Heroes. I'd sure like to have that one. I love that show!!

Wonder where that is now.

Re: Cut-down 1892 rifle stock

Just saw this.<br /><br />I actually sold that and it did indeed go to a good home. The gentleman was going to stretch it back out. Says it will be his 5th time doing it!<br /><br />I buy forlorn firearms at auctions and sell the pieces. I don't break up nice complete guns (and mostly focus on comme...

Re: Beautiful Krag 1894 Sporter

I'll get back to you on that one. <br />A guy from work would like to toss a few rounds down range with it so I'll be digging it out of the safe this weekend.<br />He enjoys shooting these old guns I'm into but doesn't want to plunk down his own cash for them.<br /><br />Almost had him convinced to ...
