I have a bunch actually. And here a photos of three:

My Gov't Model has trigger and slide work done on it by J. Hoag.

I just recently had this M97 reblued and refinished. Except for the butstock it's all original.

This is my Belgien Superposed. It's also been reblued and refinished.

Me with my M70 .300 H&H and the spike mule deer I shot last year.

what you guys aren't posting serial numbers too?

gotta agree with rip on this one. the only list of my guns is in a safe deposit box (for insurance purposes) even my insurance agent just gets a total dollar figure, no list of numbers, makes or models

Here's a good question:

What does a carry permit cost you?

Where I currently live its $10

I've visited Oklahoma and I believe it was around $120

I used to live in California and it was Fuggin impossible to get a permit. Fuggin commie state! Thats just un-american!

Oh, almost forgot. Gman, I'm glad yer my squadie! For future reference, if I ever say anything that pisses you off, it was an accident, it wasn't directed at you or if that doesn't work...I apologize profusely, here in advance:D

Gman... that clip you have in the M4... I've had problems with them in my Olympic arms. Assuming that's the plastic Israeli clip. It locks great, but doesn't chamber rounds reliably. Have you had any problems with yours?

The Israeli's are Orlite, pretty similar to that mag, which is a Canadian Thremold.

They are both pretty much crap, in cold weather the bottoms will break on contact with soft ground, and spit the rounds and spring all over the place.

They are cheap is all, I have bought them in lots of 100 for 250$ in the past.

I use metal GI mags with the green follower as my "good" mags.

Also, I'm in Canada, our serial numbers were all comprimised when the CFC's database was stolen by somebody working for the Hell's Angels who worked at the Center, so it doesn't matter.

My vault would take a couple hours to crack, and that would be only if the theif knew what he was doing. Ain't no way it's coming out of the basement now that the house is finished around it.

Bug,

Predation is part of the "natural world." Deer are becoming an environmental hazard in areas of the country where their numbers are unchecked by predation. There is no longer an understory of young trees to replace the older oaks, beeches, hickories, etc. that are nearing the end of their life cycle.

Biologists have been recommending increased hunting of does to reverse this trend, but, unfortunately they are being fought, tooth and nail, by arm-chair environmentalists who cannot EVER see anything good about hunting.

Perhaps you need to rethink some of the notions with which you have been indoctrinated in by Disney and others.

I rather prefer a coyote doing that or a puma whatever (nature select it's weak prey itself)
But not man and his gun he isn't able to judge like nature does.

And what fun is it ??

Just can't see the fun off killing animals

I love animals

Shoot em with a camera is much more skillful.

Bug,

Man is a part of nature. Can't he be a predator, if he so desires?
Each time you sit down to eat steak, or chicken, or fish you are engaging in a predatory act, even if you do not kill it yourself. It just seems a bit hypocritical to place yourself on a higher moral footing simply because you do not do your own killing.

There must be predation. Animals have been killing and devouring each other for countless millenia. Why can't man be a part of it?

Oh, and by the way...coyotes and pumas and all other predators are opportunists. They will kill any prey that lets its guard down, not just the weak or young. It's a bit silly for modern man to attach moralistic interpretations to nature's system, which is largely amoral.
