T_O_M Campfire Outfitter T Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 8,475 Likes: 3 State of Jefferson	I would say there were a lot more whimsical purchases I did not make and regret than whimsical purchases I did make. Lot of cool things have escaped because I hesitated. One example is a S&W 586 factory configured to take Millet rings on the rib. Another was a Ruger #1 A SS in .257 Roberts. Of the whimsical purchases I did make, a good number of those involving used guns turned out badly. Often times it didn't take long to figure out why they were for sale used. I had better luck with new gun whims. Tom Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...

There is some seriously nice stuff on this thread but it's also interesting that a lot of 'low end' pieces have been scarfed up and enjoyed. To each his own, indeed...
