That's all I know.

Nothing political here: Just a very happy guy surrounded by Bikers of the retired military type.
This is me with my new Henry Arms Golden Boy in .30-30 Win.
Won it from a raffle to benefit homeless veterans.
Aint it just BEAUTIFUL. I love the artistic form of brass, steel and wood. :)
It's brand new, but it's like holding a museum piece.
Case:
Nope, that one is actually real - it's an artillery sound suppressor courtesy of the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Waffen und Munition 91 (WTD 91 - 'Defence Technology Service, Area 91 - Weapons and Ammunition') in Meppen, Germany.
For the history-buffs amongst you: The area that is now called WTD 91 has been an artillery shooting range for well over a century (since 1877) and many famous German boom-sticks were tested & developed there, e.g. various Naval Artillery pieces, the Imperial Army's "Big Bertha"-howitzer and the "Paris Gun", as well as the well-known Leopard I and Leopard II main battle tanks. And no, Germany has only seven WTD's for all three branches of its military, not close to a hundred - I guess the Bundeswehr likes to mess with people's minds as much as the next gun-nut ... :laugh:
