That's an 'extensive' collection!

Love the Browning tongueout .....but remember, when you use phrases like "converted to semi-auto only", you're not making friends over the pond razz

Just having a wry smile about the gunshop owner saying the Bren was too heavy to pick up ... My Dad used to jump out hovering helicopters carrying one of those during the Rhodesian bush war !!!
