“As much as I speak ill of ‘bubba’, collecting milsurp firearms would be a lot less interactive without his mistakes. When I pick up something that’s in great shape and complete, it’s wonderful.. but not quite as exciting as a project; the hunt for parts, the research, the reconstruction and finally shooting the finished project. It is so much fun and such an accomplishing feeling. To me, it makes me feel like I have a stake in history, helping to paint a more complete picture even if it’s just replacing a lost handguard or a new sighthood. I can’t imagine ever getting tired of it and its the best job in the world… too bad it doesn’t pay the bills!”
