I love those old "broomhandles", that was the gun Han Solo's blaster was designed after.

Nice B..worth some cash. My dad had a SS Luger, though I think his ex wife got that. It might have been her dads, I forget.

The Beretta M9 was the first gun I ever bought, still have it to this day and it fires like it did day one.

That's one of them, along with a few of whatever the standard issue ones that was made in Belgium.

Yeah I think so. This had the SS insignia engraved on it. now that I think about it, think my dad's second wifes dad got it off a German officer he killed. It was pretty cool.

I have a WWI Sniper rifle. Forget what it is called though.

My old man actually picked up a glock today. He got a good deal on it because he's got a bounty hunter license (don't ask, he's a freak) and they cut deals like that.

War was so much better back then. Now, our guys can't even have one in the chamber until they get the word.

They let you bring that back with you? What about the muskets you were firing when you were in the civil war? ;)

Sounds awesome, My grandfather got some really cool war trophies from his time in the Pacific. I will get his class A's one day from my mother.

Bluing is a chemical process.

Blueing is the predecessor of anodizing. Chemical etched.

Indeed, they even have do it yourself kits to reblue a gun.
