I was able to trade a M1 Garand for a Luger. According to the unit markings It was a WW I side arm issued to the (Airship) or Zeppelin corps.. I'm still trying to learn more about it. And I am looking for a DWM marked toggle for a 1910, just in case any one has one laying around.
(This is a pic of one like it. it's a better pic.)

There is another 22-250 I am building on a 98 Mauser action with a bull barrel down stairs. I have it inletted and glassed. I have to finish carving the stock and polishing the metal for bluing.
There are a couple more down there that are my friends. He lives in Fla. and comes back to Michigan to hunt so he keeps them here. One rifle is a Remington pump in .35 Remington, another is a Marlin lever in good ole 30-30. He also keeps his cross-bow and compound bow here as well.
I hand load for every caliber I have, including the "Big Dog" .50 BMG. I am single so I have lots of room. The entire house is mine, as is the garage. Heaven on earth.
I am also an NRA certified pistol instructor in 3 disciplines. I am a certified Hunter Safety Instructor for Michigan and I am a range safety officer at 3 different local clubs.
I also have an old '60's muscle car I play with and I enjoy home theater.
That's about all for now. Sorry it took so long to get back.
Sorry it took so long to answer drich. I have a 1969 Camaro SS/RS 396. It was restored about 15 years ago but it still looks pretty good. The original motor is long gone, but it did have a 454 in it when I bought it 11 years ago. It didn't run well so I rebuilt it myself and it is a strong runner now. It is an LS-6 crate motor (rectangular ports) and it has nitrous injection. It makes about 505 hp on the motor and about 600 hp on juice.
It is Hugger Orange with standard black interior and black vinyl top.
I can't post pictures because I only have 2 posts. I had to remove them. (See Avatar)
I guess I'm on the other end of the spectrum with my Mustang. It's a fuel injected 5.0 out of a 95 cobra.. My mustang was restored about 10 years ago, and it's has some very minor body work starting to show up around the drip rails, but other wise it's in good shape too.. Right now I'm in the middle of building a t-5 for it.. with some luck and express shipping I can have it together by the end of next weekend.
My pic are in my profile album if your interested..

I do have pics but the forum won't let me post pictures until I have 50 posts. Dang. I tried and they denied my attempt. Sorry, I tried. I want to apologize for taking so long to answer. I am out of town a lot and quite frankly, I'm not on line much any more.
