A friend (who knows his way around Auto5s too) and I went to a gun show 140 miles away today. Usually a pretty good show, however today's was the...
A week or three ago, while searching for another Auto5, as I am walking down the aisle, my friend points out an Auto5 on a table. I innocently walk...
Darned if a 1921 grade 1 followed me out to the pickup today. I was at a nearby pawn shop and there it was. Not perfect, I hope I look as good as...
