jeremy996 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm intrigued by the 9mm handguns book between the BMW 3 Series and Peugeot 406. Planning to do an "Elvis" on some recalcitrant vehicle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Interesting bookshelf.. Goverments seem to think the people cannot be trusted with guns.. Not wanting to start at anything but I rather have the Mrs. hold the long slide than a phone when a burglar comes to the house.... ...and yes, she knows how to use them. My bookshelf is hidden right now as we're rebuilding the offices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, early in 1996, there was a school shooting in Scotland and handguns in particular were suddenly very unpopular. I inherited a 9mm Browning Hi Power from my late Father just a couple of months later and it was impossible to get transferred into my name even though I was already a shotgun and rifle permit holder and shooting regularly at the local range (Kemnay), I still have it although deactivated, I didn't realise at the time how crude a process that was, it was very upsetting to see a nice piece butchered the way they did. Have now moved house too many times to have kept all the manuals, but it would be good to line those that are left up, its surprising how it adds up when you go through them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are better than any diary or photo, especially the smudges and finger prints... They take me right back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
