Ex-pat looking to come back

Hi All,

I just joined a few days ago. I grew up in Minn and since my army days I have been in Germany. I am starting to look for a way back so that I can fulfill my gun addiction.

I come back to the US on vacation at least twice a year. Once in May and then in Sept/Oct for a 2 week canoe trip in the BWCA. There is a gun range near St. Cloud that I hit up a few times when I come, it's owned by DPMS.

My arsenal:
Mosin Nagant M44 - The multi-purpose tool shoot/grill at the same time
Mosin Nagant 91/30
Yugo M48a
Ruger Mini-14
Stevens 311a 20ga

Soon to be in my arsenal (They're still my dad's until I move back):
Ruger 10/22
Bubba 10/22
Ruger 44 Carbine
Hawkin .50 ML

Welcome from Oklahoma! You'll find this is the next best thing to actually owning some guns, but it'll make your fever worse.

Thanks to all! As far as the arsenal is concerned, thanks for the compliments. I picked up my shot gun 2 years ago and a mosin a few months later, and they just seem to multiply. I put them in a closet and came back 6 months later there was a hawken next to them and a 10/22. Not even 2 weeks after shooting a bear with the M44 a 91/30 and a Yugo M48 appeared. I guess she was lonely in the woods....
I'm might have to get a chaperone or at least a bigger closet.
I actually spend every cent that my ex-wife doesn't squeeze out of my already meager paycheck on guns and bullets. I would like to pick up another rifle everytime I am back.... so my Mosins are expecting a new addition to the family in May.
I may pickup a 30-30 lever or see what the milsurp stock looks like the local stores.
