Hey, remember when.....

[Noban]

you could go into the army surplus store and by a drilled out .50 BMG bullet, a bayonet, a can of WWII drinking water, and if lucky the ever elusive $50 jeep in a box of grease? All this, and you could be twelve years old to boot. Pretty soon children won't be able to go into a store if it sells firearms, even when accompanied by an adult.

God help us....is that PC?

Remember when you could go into a surplus store and find NO new levi ripoffs. All the stuff was really surplus military.

I remember going into one when I was about 12 or 13.Bumped my knee on something under a pile of clothing.Had to find out what it was.Came up with a 1919 browning air cooled in working order.Just don't find them anymore at surplus stores.Off subject.A local bar back home had a war bring back hanging on the wall.A MP-40 in working order.Man those days are long gone.Sad!!!
PS- The 30 was on its tripod!!!

and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men
every day who don't know anything and can't read.
