Is this the start of another hobby I cannot afford?

I somehow have ended up wit this.... sort of became a side collection to a Military Rifles collection from some of the Accessories I needed for those. Found myself getting the Bayonets for those that had lugs and then a fighting knife for the periods and then a few useful knives I had. Then ended up with this very modest assortment of things....

clearly your budget constraints haven't impacted your purchasing lately. :D

you're not going to get any sympathy from anyone here. suck it up and enjoy the hobby. ;)
 
... meh... just realized I forgot the Glock knife...

Yea well... I didn't expect any here nor any other place were people with "the sickness" congregate.


Just for conversational purposes.... These are the guns they were designed to accompany and reinforce...

... Most of these obtained in the last year and a half in fear of "what is about to come" and for the freedom of my Grand Children.

M-14 and a V-42...someone has good taste:thumbup:
May we have a picture of just that V-42?
 
I started with guns, then went to flashlights, and now knives. It can get spendy, but I don't have a bass boat or golf clubs, so I'm doing ok.
 
I, unfortunately, have not taken an individual one of many of them. I will try and rectify that tomorrow. I need to anyway for my records.

It is a Paul Chen reproduction. Nicely done and affordable whereas an original is not affordable. But it is well done and seems quite good quality. Certainly is functional.

I'll try and get a close up of it for you.

Oh... and if anyone asks... all of those guns were lost in a tragic boating accident... just recently... ;)

Yes. Yes it is.

Nice gun collection:thumbup:. And welcome ot the forums:).
 
I think your grandkids will be killing Zombies with the best of them having an arsenal like this backing them up. Just wait until they can walk before handing out the party favors. ;)
