My IndyGun Collection

[RaiderZee]

I'm just so pleased how this has all come together in the past year. My wife and I are teachers, so I never dreamed I'd ever be able to afford a WG, and now to have all three of Indy's guns is amazing. So I'm eating Ramen noodles for lunch for the next two years, big deal.

RaiderZee, fantastic gun collection.

where on earth did you find a webley?

[kwad]

That Webley is beautiful!
Very nice collection you have there Zee.

[Michaelson]

Ramon noodles and chicken pot pies are but a passing thing....been there, done that....those handguns, on the other hand, will last forever, and do nothing but go up in value!

WELL done, and congratulations!!!

HIGH regards! Michaelson

[RaiderZee]

Thanks folks. Pwam, the Webley took months of diligently watching numerous gun websites and jumping when the right one came up. And, actually, there are several good WGs up on auction right now

Very nice, You say you're a teacher, and this goes out to all who pass along knowledge, I tip my hat to the lot of you. What subject do you teach? That last question is not only for you, but any teacher who reads this post. Again, very nice on the guns, I'm just looking for the Webley.


Peace

What do I teach? Well, I'm in my 15th year of teaching. In that time I've taught:

• HS Band
  MS Band
  HS U.S. History
  MS U.S. History
  HS World History
  MS World History
  Freshman 101
  U.S. Government
  World Geography
  Economics
  Music Appreciation
  Chorus
  Algebra I & II
  English Literature I & II

My main subjects are Band and Social Studies. I've been focusing on SS lately, but yesterday I was offered another HS Band position, which I have to decide on by this Tuesday. Cool job + pay raise VS. less stress & more family time. I dunno.

How's that for T.M.I.?

RZ

[John Vaughan]

T.M.I. no, if I didn't want to know the question would have never been asked
Thanks

Well, for anyone following this thread (which has become a personal blog, but hey, I started the thread), I turned down the high school band director job. Too many hours away from my kids (age 9 and 6 in a few weeks; both HUGE Indy fans) and too much stress. Plus it would take away from my Indy hobby (yes, I said it). Life is good

Now, back to my collection: I sold the S&W to another COW member. It was too nice for me to cut up into a Bapty (which is my goal). But I purchased ANOTHER 2nd Model HE that will still shoot .455. Plus, the end of the barrel is totally messed up, so I have no compunctions about transforming it into a Bapty clone. More to come . . .

My kid loves roman noodles. They are still alive my friend

[John Vaughan]

Hey family first, can't wait to see the newer gun when you finish it.

John

[jd pilot]

Don't worry, the S&W went to a good home I promise not to cut up the original barrel, however I would like to find a .455 barrel and .455 wheel to replace the original parts. I also want to put the correct custom ramp site on the 'new' barrel Any help on this would be appreciated.

[RaiderZee]

Hey JD,

She's been shipped to your FFL. Let me know when you get her. I've got a gunsmith that was recommended by another member who "Bapt-ized" his S&W. Looks really good. I'll send you his contact info later.

[Wade Egan]

My vote is for Band!
