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

Find yourself a 1st generation Colt SAA!
For $1,000? Maybe five or ten times that for a 1st Gen Colt's!  ;)
Ride to the sound of the guns, but watch out for bushwhackers! Godspeed to all in harm's way in the defense of Freedom! God Bless America!

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.

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! :D

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!

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.
