edited June 2009 in General Discussion
I totally forgot about this until I came across the coolie cup in my cabinet in a box waiting for you guys. Well, I am pretty sure the winner is 35WHELENCLASSIC!

His guess is as follows

7.62x51mm - good enough
.45 Colt - yep
.38 S&W - yep
.30 Carbine - yep
.44 Special - yep
.35 Remington - yep
.22 Long - sure is
.32 ACP - yeah
.45 ACP - correct
.45-70 - correct
.30-30 - correct
8x57 - correct
.30-40 Krag - correct
.405 Win. - Negative- it was 444 marlin.
.458 Win. - Correct
.30-06 - correct
.303 British -correct
7.62x54R - correct
.30 Remington - correct
7.62x39 = correct
6.5x55 - correct

Missed one I think.

Congrats. I need an address, sorry for the "minor?" wait!




1) coolie cup that reads "Hooked on the INTERNET? Help is just a click away!"... Thought it applied here.

2) A DVD that is nothing but Fly Fishing.. Never opened it so no clue what it is.

Ill see what I can find at the gun show this weekend.

There is a LARGE pic of them, then two that break it into halves.

    Locust Fork once did this, and it was FUN. I have lined up some current and some very ODD caliber ammunition, and its your turn to guess it. The winner will get what isnt very much, but hey its free.

    1) coolie cup that reads "Hooked on the INTERNET? Help is just a click away!"... Thought it applied here.

    2) A DVD that is nothing but Fly Fishing.. Never opened it so no clue what it is.

    Youd be surprised how much time I spend OFF the forum. This is for when I have nothing else to do. By the way- My average is 10 posts per day- you and I joined both within the same time frame of two or three months. Difference is, I can make 9 posts a day, while you post 4.5... Only difference between you and I is I post 4.5 more replies daily than you. Which, you could do that in easily 10 mins.

    OK? Im 16, no kids, not married, I have applications in everywhere, and put more in all the time, School is out, and beside the fact my back is jacked up and im not pushing it until he tells me whats SAFE to do and what isnt. I work for the money I get, which since I cant do too much at this point, im not getting paid, and going out with friends costs money. What I AM working to get, im saving to get a new "toy", I dont make many friends in this town as most of them are all into weed/crack/heroine/drinking every night. Would you rather me be a drug addict and draw welfare the rest of my life, after I hurt myself working so that I can go with friends, or do you mind if I chill here, work when I can for what I can, do the stuff around the house that I can do, and help dad when I can, and work for a paycheck when I am able.

    I did not say donkey crap to you about what I was doing, when I was doing it, you took it upon yourself to say I have no life.

I work nights and use my hour in the morning before the kids get up to check out the site and wind down time. when i was your age i was home for supper then back out again. either working or friends i didnt have time to spend sitting around doing nothing.
    OK? Im 16, no kids, not married, I have applications in everywhere, and put more in all the time, School is out, and beside the fact my back is jacked up and im not pushing it until he tells me whats SAFE to do and what isnt. I work for the money I get, which since I cant do too much at this point, im not getting paid, and going out with friends costs money. What I AM working to get, im saving to get a new "toy", I dont make many friends in this town as most of them are all into weed/crack/heroine/drinking every night. Would you rather me be a drug addict and draw welfare the rest of my life, after I hurt myself working so that I can go with friends, or do you mind if I chill here, work when I can for what I can, do the stuff around the house that I can do, and help dad when I can, and work for a paycheck when I am able.

    I did not say donkey crap to you about what I was doing, when I was doing it, you took it upon yourself to say I have no life.


    I never said you didnt have a life. what i said is at age 16 you need to get a life out side of gunbroker.
    And who are you to say I do not have one?


    At 16 and 10k posts of a gun forum. I dont realy have to say anything.
    You're right. You don't. Ever had duck sausage?

    To be honest with you if more people your age were interested in Gunbroker instead of alot of the "bad" things that they are into, then the country would be a better place.
