<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 3117558, member: 85686&quot;]It&#039;s been great fun seeing all the interests of everyone. Of special interest to me are all the people that hold firearms dear. At one point in my life I had 28 hobbies if I remember correctly, or thereabouts. Slowly as time passed, for various reasons, most fell by the wayside. One of my main ones...racing was finally given up on last fall. I had kept an entire drive train to build a thumpty-thump muscle car, but finally decided I had transitioned from gearhead to geezerhead. My last race motor went to live in a vette in CA. Getting rid of the other parts like M22 trani and such will make it complete. So that leaves me with mostly firearms and coins, ancients mostly because of the encouragement from the folks here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the firearms are being slowly disposed of. With 7 gun safes full, it will take a while. Have sent away some neat ones like a Civil War Burnside Patent and a 1936 German Tell pellet rifle, and one of my favorite collectibles, Rem 600 in 6mm unfired in box Mohawk. I have a bunch of them. I also have the Rem 600 .223. They only made 315-317 depending on which reference. I previously posted here a Martini Henry battle field pick up artifact that&#039;s up for grabs now. Picked up from the battlefield at Faber&#039;s Put Cape Town, May 30th, 1900 during the Boer War. My 475 Linebaugh and 500 Nitro Express Double Rifle are being considered next. My special interest lies with the Colt&#039;s like one of the previous posters. 1911&#039;s 45ACP first with 45 Colt next. Having a third of the points needed for my Distinguished Masters Medal, but realizing I will never achieve it at this point in my life, it&#039;s probably time to consider them too. My 1970&#039;s accurized Combat Commander is one I will keep. I&#039;ve hunted the world over with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>My new interest in the ancients has been slow to evolve, but intensely interesting. Mostly due to the fine people here, who make such wonderful posts with their coins and write ups. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks to all for sharing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
