    Ill bet that some of those Lugers pictured there were the former property of jerko slimeball former Texas Gunshows dealer: mike morris :lol: :lol:

    I once had a Luger-one of those so called Black Widow Lugers. I liked the pistol but gimme a Walther P-38 anytime anyday. My dream Luger to own is a 1917 DWM made Artillery Luger-I love those the most.

    hi ray, truthfully, i can't remember what i got for it/ I THINK I got a cased Walther PP, and probably the generals Collartabs and a few other things. Been too long since that trade happened to accurately remember ;-))

    Hi Ray, at one time, I had (at the sametime)

    1) Two Lithgow Lee-Enfields.
    2) One Mauser 98.
    3) One M-100 Carbine w/ two 100round tube magazines (which didn't work worth a shi_).
    4) Two SKS Carbines-one a minty Russian one built in 1953, the other an rather ugly piece of Chinese manufactured garbage heap built in the early 1990s.
    5) A nice all matching numbered-M-1 Garand-so-called "Garand Tankers" Model.
    6) My first Walther P-38-which was a Rusian Battlefield pickup-still fairly nice one with all-matching numbers.
    7) 20 Mosin-Nagant Rifles.
    8) One 50 cal. Long Tom Rifle.
    9) My Mothers .22 Cal Rifle which I inherited.
    10) One M-1 Carbine.
    11) An absoolutly beautiful Mini-14 w/ 150 round snail drum magazine.
    12) A Chinese-made Uzi-clone. This was a well-made weapon and I oved taking it out to a friends Ranch to hunt Rattlesnakes with. I had a hellfire trigger system for it which made it fully (and legally) automatic.
    13) an Intratec DC-9-which was a good piece to have and never fouled up on me.
    14) An early made Chinese AK-47-which was actually decently manufactured weapon but its stock was made from some crappy wood-and looked it too.
    15) An absolutly mint-1913 Swedish Mauser-which was one of the rifles I gave to my nephews for Christmas one year. They absolutely love that rifle ad take it out to plink-often.

    I no longer have any of those guns as I sold or traded them all off over the years and all I have now are:

    1) One 1898 30-40 Krag Carbine (supposedly Philippine Contract Carbine)
    2) One S42 K98 German Army Sniper Rifle variant with 25 round Ansteckmagazine. This is NOT an issued piece but was a prototype rifle of limited manufacture. Limited to from possibly 20-no more than 200 examples built between 1935-to 1941. Mine was built in 1935 and has a unique serial number of: 261-T. It's 25 run magazine was made in 1936 and is permanently fixed to the rifle. These magazines were originally for an MG-08 I think? or an MG-13??? I can't remember correctly.

    I take that back, I never got rid of my 50 Cal Long Tom Elephant gun. I still have it, just have not had it on hand-for several years as my Nephews borrowed it and I never asked for it back.

    Other firearms I have owned but no longer do-thanks to selling/trading and to theft are:

    1) Three Walther P-38s. Traded two and one was stolen.
    2) One of those so-called: Black Widow Lugers-which are actually those that were Portugese contract.
    3) Two-Inland M-1 Carbines.
    4) Another Mauser K-98 Rifle.
    5) Lt.Gen Francis P. Hardaways Remington-Rand made Colt.45. Hardaway was MacArthurs Artillery General and was also the first man to head up the Civil Air Patrol-when it was created.
    6) A cased Walther PP.
    7) Cased Walther PPK-this one was of new manufacture and had a plastic case :-((
    8) a .380 Swiss "Sphinx" which I absolutely loved having and will buy another one when I can afford to do so?
    9) A non-National-Match M-14 Rifle-which i absolutely loved having and will be buying another when affordable?

    And I THINK that's every firearm I ever owned at onetime or another? ;-))

    Now for non-guns-well-remember that repo MP-40? Its soon to be in my hands-weather not-with-standing.
