The CZIckness XVII.....As we gather together

Must be strong. Must be patient.

Usually it goes like this:

Czicko: I think I want one of these.
Czicko mob: Yes, you should buy one.
Czicko: Ok, I just ordered it.
Czicko mob:

Yup.......

I had owned more than a few over the years. They are cool enough but just does not blow my skirt up these days.

Yes I said skirt.....

Never owned one. Always think I need one when I see them. Of course I didn't pick one up when they were cheap and plentiful. I wait until they cost real money.

I like the M1 Carbines. They are a really handy size and just seem to handle really well. I really would not mind picking up a current production version to use for home defense.

Before I go that route though, I’m starting to think that I need to do another 1911 project. Maybe starting with a stainless Colt in 38 Super. It would be done to match the 10mm DE that I have, but I’d have to skip the mammoth ivory on this one. Hmmm. I might need to sell something to make room for a new project.

That's just crazy talk. No reason to skip the mammoth ivory.

Hi TT .... you watching baseball tonight ?

Yep, red sox vs Houston. Despite my predictions it looks like the red sox may be going to the world series. I'll cheer them on if they do

We ogled an Auto Ordinance M1 tonight. Price was around 600. Alexis really liked Matt’s.

Currently I know nothing about M1s, are the Auto Ordinance ones quality?

I did know where there was a raced out/well used/much needing love Springer stainless in 38 super for a really fair price. It is in need of some love.
I did not buy it as I am not going into another caliber.

Every time I get serious about a carbine, I get stuck between getting a GI or ordering a Fulton Armory. I love the history of the GI, but really just want a good shooter. Then I look at the prices and decide to wait.

It's been almost 24 hours. You're showing incredible restraint, not commonly seen with this group.

Trust me if I had the available funds the rifle would be purchased.

I had 2 GI Carbine issue pieces that I got from my uncle. This was in the Mid 70s. He was my go to source for military issue hardware. 2 Garrands. 2 M14's. 2 BARs. 2 Thompsons. Several 1911's. Yes 2 or more of everything and they were all refurbished in the Armory.

The 1st "X" relieved me of everything when she left. I was on a 5 day racing trip in Beach Bend Kentucky. Surprise surprise surprise.

Man that's so dirty. I'd lose it I think. I'd straight up go insane

That sucks. Probably went to a gun shop or pawn shop for pennies on the dollar.

Trust when I say it was good I did not know where she was plus the kids were with her. Possibly saved her life I swear.
She also took my other race car. She had help. I never got the guns back. No real paper trail proving ownership on them. But I did find the car. That guy paid a heavy price for hiding it. Sad/bad times.

Most likely her lawyer or the accountant on the case bought them cheap after advising her to grab them.

Not me.

Small town. I am sure they were spread out through the country side.
She had hooked up with a local guy. He orchestrated it. She was not all that sharp.....

I was planning my escape any way. But I was going to do it so the kids were set up and still in my life.

Damn man. Betrayal is the ultimate sin in my opinion

It is. But the entire relationship was crashing on the rocks. It was my 3rd attempt to make it work and keep my kids in my life. The kids are not enough. They deserve better. My biggest regret in this life.
