I have even joined several organizations which furthers my beliefs on the issue of Gun Control. It is a very serious issue which I don't take lightly. Gun ownership is a serious responsibility, since the consequences of being irresponsible can be so finial.
A Detonics what Combat Master.....I am sure that if I owned one I would never have mentioned the fact in a thread on this Board or for that matter any other Board.

Why I do believe we have more than one Tabs52 amongst us.
But no, surely it's impossible to have more than one man of such wealth, discernment and taste amongst us?
Perhaps the cheap whisky he's been quaffing has started to affect his memory.
Well let's refresh his memory before someone deletes the thread!

And now some selected quotes by Tabs 52 from the same thread:
Boy and I thought I was in the wrong place. On that other Board if you mentioned the word "GUN" you were labeled a "terrorist." Right Paul. But then again that other Board is located in the Peoples Repblic of California. Where the Attorney General of the state is a Cross Dresser.
Oh, and I don't know which I like better my gun or my Porsche. The growl of a 911 at full throtle or the recoil of a Smith and Wesson 44 mag. The smell of hot Castrol or the smell of Hoppes Number 9. It's all perfume to my nose....
Guns are easier on the wallet??? They are? How about a 1878 Sharps Long Range Target? I got a Detonics Combat Master and a Sig 210-6. Your right about the fine machinery though. Guns can be very expensive, even more so than 911's.
One of the most intriguing rifles I bought was a 2nd Allin Trapdoor Conversion in 50/70. To make a long story shorter it's a converted Civil War Musket into a Trapdoor Single shot Army Rifle circa 1866. I bought it from a Lady whose Great, Great Uncle owned the rifle. He served in the 7th Cavarly from 1866 until 1898 when he retired. He was at the Repblican River in 1867, Wa****a wt Custer in 1868, the Yellowstone Expedition, The Black Hills expedition, The Battle of the Little Big Horn ie Custers Last Stand, Canon Creek 1877 Nez Pearce, White Clay Creek ie Wounded Knee, and in Arizona Territory in the 1890's chasing renegade Apaches. Not only was he at all those places he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He was part of the Major Reno, Capt Benteen defensive battle on the bluffs. If the rifle can be tied forensically to the Battle of the LBH the rifle would be worth in the neighborhood of 30 of my Sharps rifles. going by auction records of similar items (this would be the only one that could be tied to a specfic indivdual and one who was awarded the CMH for bravery at one of the most famous Battles in American history). Chanches of tieing it to the Battle are not good though.
Or perhaps Mrs Tabs52 no longer lets him play with the big boys toys and he's gone politically correct to save face.
