Default OGCA Display

Here are some photos of a display I set up at the OGCA Display Show in May.

I love Smith's but my first love in firearms are 20th Century US Military long guns

Simply amazing. Looks like a museum display one would see in the Smithsonian.

Beautiful display....amazing collection. I cannot fathom the time, energy and expense you must have put in that effort, but they sure payed off big time.

Seeing that M79 in the Vietnam case section brought back some old "humping memories", especially with the bandolier that came with it. A bandolier made it home with me (somehow) but later years one son used it to stuff with Halloween candy instead of carrying a pumpkin, and later years I remember a daughter dragging it around at the annual Ester egg hunt....haven't seen hide nor hair of it in bucoo years, but you have all the bases covered with that display.

Thanks so much for sharing.
