Yep exactly the same thingSheesh guys...this thread is the ingo equivalent of the left cancelling some comedian for a joke they made years ago.
So you are reduced to name calling? Not very intelligent.If we knew the "why" behind all the wtb and wts ads, how many of these dogpiles would there be?
No the left cancels because they hate the truth, they are the hypocrisy, by definition.Sheesh guys...this thread is the ingo equivalent of the left cancelling some comedian for a joke they made years ago.
He was actually defending youSo you are reduced to name calling? Not very intelligent.
Well, I guess you can still call out someone you think is being illogical, even if they are on your "side".He was actually defending you

My wife doesn't have a 2 year statute of limitations on reminding me of the slightest inconsistency...why should INGO be any different...Digging up posts from 2 years ago for inconsistencies? I don't know, whatever man.
Thank goodness he didn't express an interest in Broomhandles...Back to the guns, these are the 1917s the OP was interested in, the S&W on top, Colt on the bottom. While not the only New Service or Hand Ejector I own, these are the only US property marked 45 ACP versions.View attachment 202446
Those dang philatelists...Whether stamps, coins, guns, or fine wines, the first rule of collecting is "the fewer on the market, the more valuable each example becomes."
Limited supply/natural attrition does its part, but simply scarfing up items increases the value of the collection, and all remaining available on the market, exponentially and artificially.
Not saying this is the goal of all collectors, but it's strong juju.
Stamp collecting is particularly cutthroat.
And when you do we all love the experience you provide. To shoot a piece of history. How many story's are attached to those old pieces that you revive. I love the posts and follow the repairs as closely as my time allows.Being a collector I've accumulated a variety of guns over the years, even have duplicates or different varieties of the same gun. Many were bought broken and repaired which has been a good and practical experience, but I'm in no way a qualified gunsmith.
When I go shooting with a group I share what I've brought, even provide the ammo sometimes as a lot of folks don't have things like 44-40.
