What stage of SKS’itis have you been diagnosed at?

[High Noon]

If we include M1s in this, then I'm at stage 3.   

[Matchka]

I’ll bite, what’s “BHP’itis”?

I think he was speaking of his affinity for the Browning HiPower, Phos. He has some nice examples.

Dang, I see there's some real collections around here! We need more pictures! (Don't forget to throw in a few Mosin Nagant pics for RM to harbor in his " 'Files-files")

Nailed it.

RM, sure you could do "all that" with all that, but we're talking about a "theme", ya know. Soviet calibers should stick together.  Like M1 Garands and M1 Carbines with M1911's and M1903's thrown in.  Mosins, Tokarev's (SVT's and TT33's), PPS-43's.  Mausers with G43's, P08's, P38's, MP40's.   

Matcha, BHPitis I can't afford.  Only got one, a 1936 or so Chinese contract with early barrel and early tangent sites.  I think I've posted it. My go to critter gun.

HN, Garands are great.  Still have 4, but at one time had 12+ and built them, especially the Danish ones in both .30-06 and 7.62x51.

Back to the original post (we didn't de-rail, just hit a pass track ).  Like I said, compared to some, I'm just a piker.  Pretty sure GM has more.  Phos has proven his (and all the others he's posted showing his really impressive collection, though I thought MY ammo situation was confusing ).  Who else has it BAD .

Hows about .455 Eley/Colt, 10.6mm German, 9x23 Bergmann Bayarg/Steyr/Largo...

Hoes about .455 Eley/Colt, 10.6mm German, 9x23 Bergmann Bayarg/Steyr/Largo...

I even have some ammo that is (currently) missing a matching firearm to use it. I also have a very few examples of the converse.

Bacarnal, searched "critter gun". No luck. Could you repost?

[Larry D.]

As with others, I have a mixed bag of itises...itae?

One of my recent passions is for old pocket guns in 38S&W.

I think he was wanting the link to your post of your HiPower. Me thinking again. I'll get myself in trouble yet.

Matcha, sorry about that.  Thought I had copied the link, not my profile...

Thanks,  FC...

Dang! She's a beauty!!! Appreciating your history with this BHP - IF/IF you'd ever consider a sale or trade, plz PM me. I might have something you'd be interested in - either as a bedside replacement, or a couple of milsurps or moderns to add to your collection.

Wow, I’m glad to hear that I’m in good company! I now understand my sickness will only progressively get worse.  Have a great weekend guys…!

It doesn't get worse. It only gets better.
