[QUOTE="bamban, post: 1699722, member: 17722"] Five years ago I sold off some of the weapons I could get the most money for to fund my Bridgeport, two lathes, all the needed tooling, measuring tools, and the other must have ancillary equipment needed for a machine shop. Regrets? Not a moment. I love my machine shop. I am not in the business. just doing barrels for me, for my stool shooter (aka benchrest) brother, select friends, and lastly I do the barrels for the TX Juniors. This year we sent 18 kids to Camp Perry, all were equipped with barrels donated to the program by Shilen Rifles, chambered in my shop. I have to put in a plug for Shilen for their support to the future of our game - our juniors. I still have plan to sell off the rest, but keep the 1911 I won at Perry with my name stamped on it as well as the match I won it in, and the M1A with a special S/N and with my grandson's name stamped before heat treat. These will go to my 6 year old grandson. For me I will keep one 22 pistol, a 1911, a M1a, a 300WM, MK12 SPR, a 30-06. All are suppressed. [/QUOTE]
