Got my latest glossy Garand Collectors Association magazine in the mail yesterday and as usual, a great issue but the back cover just gave me a halt because I personally hadn't seen that particular poster before.
Sorry for heavy glare...hard to cell phone a glossy mag.
Anyway, while I don't totally dislike fantastic plastic...I still yearn for the days of walnut and metal.
So...We'll lick em................"just give us the metal"!
I don't know about others, but for me it was being 8 to 10 years old and seeing posters like this in my (and most of my friends) basements and garages. Sure they were dusty, worn, torn, taped or nailed to pegboard or walls, color faded, but the real thing. The firearms captured my imagination and started me on the "road to perdition" (milsurp accumulating, shooting, enjoying)............at least up to around age 11 or 12 when the car parts calendars replaced them and really gathered my attention (and not for the cars, or parts, or adds, or dates...just the ladies pictured thereon)
Happy St. Pats Day.....corned beef and cabbage almost done, wifes homemade soda bread smeels terrific, Guiness Extra Stout nice and cold, up to date on all my S&W's cleaning, lubing and fondling........what more can we ask for?
