Default Oooops!

Dang it, I built an 8'wall cabinet and hung it in the garage this past weekend to get some of that clutter off the floor. I had some material left over so I decided to make myself a gun rack for my MLs as my safesare getting too full. I figured I would use1/2" dowelsas supports. I drilled 5 holes at 6" intervals on the vertical portions of the rack, and glued in the 4" pieces of dowel.
I figured I would put my4 traditional MLs on it and havea space for my Marlin 1894. Holy Crap - after probing through the safes to get them out, I found another T/C Hawken!!! Where did that come from? And no Semisane - I don't think its yours or anyone elses. I hate when stuff like that happens. I wonder how many other guns found their way in there that I don't know about.

I think it is mine bronco. Check and see if it has six numbers on the left side of the barrel just in front of the breech, and the words "Black Powder Only - Instructions Must Be Read Before Use" on the left flat. If it does, then it's mine andyou'd better send it to me.

I never lost track of a rifle or firearm yet.. I might have over looked them for a couple years, but never lost track of them.. What a wonderful find.

And Semisane should be ashamed of himself trying to talk you out of my rifle... It is mine.. isn't it???

Well Dave and Semi, perhaps you can tell me which one is yours. Look below and tell me exactly what those number are. If you're right I'll be sure to send it to you.

I think you might have a little problem with hording excellent rifles. This is an addiction. It is a serious problem. And you need help. A good twelve step program is in order.

Step #1 take all them rifles off the rack
Step #2 find the proper boxes needed to store them
Step #3 put a rifle in each of the proper boxes and be sure to pack them good.
Step #4 with a magic marker write my name and address on the outside of each box
Step #5 place all those boxes in your vehicle.
Step #6 drive your vehicle with all those boxes to the local post office
Step #7 hand them to the person behind the counter and be sure to smile.
Step #8 pay the nice person the required fee for shipping all the boxes which contain these rifles
Step #9 return home in your vehicle.
Step #10 look at your empty gun rack and gun safe
Step #11 tell yourself you are free of the addiction
Step #12 buy another muzzleloader...



that is a very nice collection... some beautiful rifles there.

Hey Cayugad, if everyone on this forum followed your twelve step program, the overloaded big brown truck would break an axle in your driveway.
