My Garand has gone, and I'll leave it at that. My reputation was such that when the new regulations came into force I had nothing in my possession, and have not had anything that could even connect me with my collection within miles of my home.
For years I expected a knock on the door in the middle of the night so I made sure that I was squeaky clean. The knock never came, but nothing has changed. Here, the cops can just show up at any time and ask to see your firearms and examine your gun safe and ammo storage. So to avoid being picked up for a minor infringement and having them use that to lock me up while they trash the place I have got rid of all of my weapons. I have placed some old photos of some of my stuff on my web page at http://www.geocities.com/senojekips/Gunz/ You can tell by the colour of my hair that they were taken nearly 30 years ago. I don't even have many photos now, it has just all become to much to worry about. My AK was a Chicom Type 56, Serial No. 0000001942 Teinstin Arsenal, very early model in mint condition. |

Choosing but one leaves me in a quandary. Limiting myself to what I own (I did have quite a lot of fun with an MP-5 a time or two) it's a toss up between my Mini 14 and my m/96 Swedish Mauser. The Mini 14 is quite a bit cheaper to shoot, and, though it doesn't make me popular at the range, is tons of fun. The Swede is a bloody nice tack driver and 6.5x55 is much kinder to my unpadded frame than others I shoot (.303 Brit, 30.06, 7.62x54R). Ultimately I do love long rifles so the Swede would probably edge the Mini out. Fortunately, I don't have to make that choice.
