The family's done the collecting, and ended up with lots of guns and I'm left wondering what happened

OMG I'm old enough to remember that! Gerry Anderson's next production was "Four Feather Falls" which is perhaps more appropriate for a shooting forum. Cheers Don

One of my fav customs from Don in Hawaii , the haiku. Then the head was sent to Bosnia for a triple conversion . There is a red wolf there in cost😬 image upload\ I'm sure it's too commonplace ven but I've got the body of an old 4 cell magliite you can have if you'd want to resurrect it. Old batteries had leaked I think. It's got a load of scuffs to the paint, the reflective cone is showing the blue plastic through the chrome, spring is a bit tarnished. But other than that it's perfect . Anyway on. the off chance that cleaning it up and maybe converting to LED or something appeals, just give me a shout. Otherwise I should probably stick it in the recycling.

Whenever I mention my replica collection to outside people, they look at me with chin ajar and a blank expression.
I now understand that reaction based upon these torch posts 😂

I’m good thanks though. Could try elec cleaner, on contacts to clean. Only down side with alki…leaks! Given that name for a reason.

I run a few Facebook G shock groups, daily posts(wrist shots). Crazy woods we live in, be rude to not be apart of it😄.

Are we swerving into a watch section now? 😂
I could link it back to replicas by saying that I have a limited edition Umarex S&W 586 that has a muzzle compensator slot; apparently the package included a S&W watch. I have tried to find out what it looked like, and maybe get something similar, but no luck yet. ⌚😒

More state side with fire arms, but knives, torches, watches are all EDC that cross over into each other. What you tend to find is many guys are into all, or collect most/all of said. Other than Rolex or odd GS, most of the flashlights are the expensive item. Knives can be to, certainly custom ones. But even then Chris Reeves sebenza are popular around $4-500 ish.
If I lived state side, I would have a small armoury😀
I love handguns /revolvers the most. I subscribed to a YT channel NFA and wow to his collection. He isn’t short of money! The desert eagle (zebra and gold zebra limited ) were crazy. The kick is ridiculous and no way could you use one regular. Even firing off 8 or so shots their hands were cut from the kick. Worth a watch . 92fs etc in separate short vids(how I like them as don’t have a spare 1/2hr for nonsense /waffle) . It’s grab a gun, empty the mag, job done in 30 seconds or so. One example, some nice 92 etc to check out as well
