Still have them. Three or four pair, in fact. Relics of my youth when I studied Jiu-Jitsu and enjoyed Bruce Lee movies. Since getting a CCW license in 1980, though, they don't get carried. Although, I could (actually did, once, a few years ago, when there was a big, mean, stray dog hanging out on my walking route), since my CCW includes all concealable weapons.
Here's two of them hanging on the wall of my bedroom back in the late 1970s. Still have both of those. Sadly, I don't have a single one of those rifles anymore.
For those who didn't appreciate that last guy's short and insightful explanation, here's one that isn't.

That's such a creepy friggin picture. Blood red carpet, ninja poster on the wall, assault rifles stacked up against a bed with no sheets and a blanket with random yellow stains.
Not seen in the corner is a mail order Chinese bride. Matted and tangled hair, sitting on a 5 gallon bucket for a chair, eating scabs off her arm and shouting defiantly in Mandarin about her cousin, who she loved so much, was twice the man that her new "husband" will ever be.

Or at least that's how I imagine it.
Pretty cool pic. Very nice weapons. Very impressive given the fact that TRH was probably under twenty years old at the time and also because there were not nearly so many assault-type rifles available at that time.

Thanks, Mark. I wish I could go back in time and tell my teenage self how pissed off I'd be many years later if I sold those guns ... at least two of them.

Agreed. Nice lineup for a young guy considering likely income and the small market for rifles like that.
An AR-180 would have been a great buy back then, or better yet, one from each manufacturer........................Armalite, Sterling and Howa.

Ever curious about knives, I wonder about the CRKT stuff. Looked at some maybe 20-25 years ago and was not impressed with quality. Things change.
I didn't care much for the benchmades til a buddy bought a limited edition mchenry-williams maybe 20 years ago. I bought a couple of benchmades after that. My BM Barrage is the best using pocket knife I've ever carried.

CRKT varies in quality. They have some products that rival the best custom knives, and some that are just OK. Likely made in entirely different departments, and perhaps different locations.
