Was the question ever answered as to whether you're married or single? Please don't make me go back through this thread to find out.

When the zombies show up, I want to be at his house. You would be knee deep in brass by the time the ammo runs out.

I know but I show pics of mine. Lets see 200,000 of yours minus 70,000 of mine leaves 130,000 left for me to get. But on the other hand I dont get to find piles of ammo just laying in the woods. And other goodies. Moose did you ever find the tank that sunk into a swamp up there yet?

No ya cant. Yes they are pretty well labeled. Just with black marker on the side. Or if it changed a piece of tape and marker.

Anyone else have old ammo crates?

The Tommy gun is my favorite. The M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine tie for second.

If your talking bolt rifles I love my old 95 Chileno Mauser in 7x57.

For Shotguns The 870 is hard to beat. The Franchi Ultra Raptor is sweet for an autoloader.

For handguns the S&W 681 .357. Although the Luger is pretty nice to shoot as well.

Capt'n: That is a nice beginner collection.

I hope that you live just northeast of Memphis, to provide 'back-up' in case we one day sink into anarchy , or get zapped by an earthquake from the New Madrid Fault.

In case those Russians invade Georgia again and decide to sneak past our allies in northern AL, they won't make it very far west of Tupelo.

I always think of how you know something like this.

Beginner 1 2 3 Intermediate 1 2 3 Expert 1 2 3

There will be some that argue with these categories. Like there should be Master or Novice. However this works very well to describe someones expertise in any field.

A beginner 1 knows almost nothing. They may know about guns or even have one but dont have a clue how to shoot or use different ones.

I would say my collection is Intermediate 3. Not a beginner.
