    Browning BAR Mark II Rifle

    I'm thinking about picking up one of these rifles for deer/elk hunting. Anyone have any thoughts, experience, or advice? Short Trac, Long Trac, Safari? I'm seriously considering the .270 caliber because of the low recoil and good stopping power dependent upon the ammunition used...

    Prophetic vision of the internet, circa 1969.

    Not too far off really, save for that vast array of components on the desk that occupies about 3 walls around the room. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0pPfyYtiBc

    MEGA vintage, as in 200+ years old,......

    What do you think? Could something like this survive 200 years or more in this kind of condition? Maybe it's a later costume copy? In any case, it's interesting. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220949571170?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    For the vintage outdoorsmen.

    Someone might like this vintage hunting coat. Might be just the thing for pheasant hunting. It has a very Sherlock Holmes vibe to it as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-1936-Olympics-Frankonia-Jagd-Vintage-Austrian-Mens-Wool-Hunting-Coat-/330668019176?pt=US_Olympics_Fan_Shop&hash=item4cfd598de8

    I just "met" this famous model for a very famous Army Air Force poster.

    [/IMG] Well, sort of. Indirectly. A lady came to my workplace tonight with this poster to have it drymounted for eventual framing. Turns out the story is that the model for the original painting for this recruitment poster was her father. Also turns out he flew 66 bombing missions in world...

    Care and preservation of your old stuff,....

    ....like me, I'm sure many people here are concerned with the preservation and / or restoration of their valuable old things. Here's a link to The Smithsonian's page on the subject.
