This used to be more fun.
I am short on guns for the gunshow in Ft Worth. So last night I started cobbling guns together. Things like replacing the sporterised front sight on a 1917, fixing the floorplate alignment on another 1917, replacing a full stock set on a No4 Enfield sporter. That only got me 3 guns for the show so I started scrounging through my Arisakas that weren't worthy of being displayed on my wall. I quickly realised that my collection has gotten too nice. Out of about a dozen "crappy" or spare rifles tucked away in corners and closets, I realised about 11 of them were either rare, numbers matching with mum, or had some unique feature I wasn't ready to part with like my T-99 with the cavalry style sling swivels.
I decided I really need to go through my collection again. It's sad when you have trouble deciding which trainging rifle should go because they are all to good to get rid of.
