I found out today that I won a gun raffle for a Colt M45 with a Surefire
X300 Ultra. Cost of tickets was only $100. Nice!

I've always liked the look of that gun. It's a nice change from black
or stainless.

Just what you need...another gun.
Maybe you can donate it to some children's charity down there.

an M45 with a low number may be collectible some day but right now it
is the state of the art handgun according to the military. This was
pretty much built to spec ops specs.

They didn't say but I'm guessing about 2500 from the progress reports.

Interesting that you mention that. This raffle was a charity raffle
that supports a horrible, and usually fatal, childhood disease. Last
year I donated over $5000 to them. I also donate to other charities but
it's fun to have the opportunity to win something while I do it. I have
also "won" five Ruger gun auctions that benefit the Matt Light
Foundation - look it up, they support kids. Those auctions totaled
roughly $7500. In March I will be touring the Ruger facility in NH and
also spending a day at their range with Matt Light. I also bid $7800
for two seats to Saturday Night Live. That money goes to - you guessed
it - a children's charity.

That's about $20,000 to children's charities for 2015 and roughly $5000
to other charities. I don't need you to tell me where to donate my
money or to decide how many guns I need.

Who has benefited from your contributions this year? There's still
time. Take a look at charitybuzz.com You might even find something you
can afford.

Peace

It was a raffle gun that I plan to shoot. I have seven guns that are
considered to be collectible in the sense that the value *should* only
increase with time. They are all new and remain unfired. I have a
pre-ban Colt AR15 that I don't shoot but it is not likely to gain as
much in value. For shooting, I have a Windham Weaponry AR15 that I have
only slightly modified.

Like a baseball card collection, most of my guns are not unique, or hard
to find, but they help complete my collection. My Beretta 92FS Inox,
for example, is a common gun but also an important part of my
collection. Some, like the Desert Eagle .50AE, are easy to find but -
unique.

Harry and Don hate everything they don't own so I don't let them bother me.

In the past few days you made a post without the childish name-calling. It was
refreshing.

You might, at least in this, follow Harry's footsteps. You've surely noticed he's not
engaged in any name calling since my proposal to him a week or two ago.

The 'them' obviously refers to the subject of the sentence, to wit: 'cleaning guns'.
It most certainly did not refer to the subject of the prepositional phrase, 'with the
kids'!

Now, all you English majors leave me alone and go fix your turkey or whatever. We're
having in-laws over for dinner. Will fix a prime rib today. Tomorrow all the kids get
here - turkey and ham.

Lighten up John. It was a joke. We get far to serious here sometimes.

You have a great holiday and enjoy your Prime Rib. (Publix had it on
sale last week 6.99) and I have a nice one in the fridge I am cooking
Sunday.

We pretty much wrapped up "Christmas" last week while the kids were
here so this is just a quiet day at home. I think we are going to the
movies. We did the chinese restaurant thing last night with our Naples
friend. (from the BB gun movie)

Only Panda eats shoots and leaves.

Watch the really cheap ammo. It makes it tough to clean the barrel.
CCI can be found for a half-penny a round more than the green box (I
forget the brand).

Thunderbolt? That stuff was so dirty that it jammed my 10-22 after
about 75 rounds and in "rock and roll" mode, that is not long.


That's the stuff. If a 10/22 can't shoot it, nothing can!

I've always liked the look of that gun. It's a nice change from black
or stainless.
Beautiful gun. Congratulations. Somewhat similar to mine:

I don't have a Colt .45, but my eye keeps getting drawn to them. One of these

Re-read that. It's probably not what you meant to type! That ammo has
worked well for me but I don't usually shoot more than 150 rounds of
..22LR between cleanings.

Yup. The demographics of the shooters tell the story, not the guns.
