You never cease to amaze Gunny...
There’s a bunch up there. I put up there during the flood of 2016 and just haven’t taken them down yet.OMG, just when you thought the man couldn't have anymore...he comes up with another treasure. Dare I ask about the rifles that I saw in the last picture?
And, sadly, an all-too-typical Sou'Louisiana roofing job by the looks of those protruding nails. Sigh.Yep. You never know what you will find in those crawl spaces, especially above my shop.
I’ve stopped being surprised.
When Gunny finds a tank or a F4U Corsair I’ll then return to being surprised.
I think it will more likely be a bofors. If it’s a mountain howitzer then even better, but gunny is a cartridge guy, not a front-stuffer kinda guy.I’ve stopped being surprised.

I don't know, Gunny seems more like an A-10 sort of guy to me. Or maybe one of those airplanes that dad told me about from Vietnam with all kinds of firepower on each side and they would circle an area leaving nothing but destruction on the ground. I think he called it a Puff
Now I wouldn’t be surprised if he somehow has a WWII vintage aircraft carrier.
Probably
Many don’t know the Corsair was the first real attack aircraft. It was so effective that it was used into the 1960s. Lessons learned from them were used in the development of the A10.
That said, I don’t think the Marines ever used A10s. I may be mistaken as I haven’t done much research on them as the Corsair is my favorite plane.
Now with the insane firepower of the A10 it wouldn’t surprise me if Gunny somehow got hold of one somehow. Hell come to think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if he somehow has a WWII vintage aircraft carrier.
The F4U Corsair is my favorite WWII plane, but I just don't have the room to keep one.Probably

But I do have room for one of these. Too bad I can't buy one with the guns.

I think I will go to Home Depot and pick up another shelf unit this week. That way I can pull out some more stuff and have a place to put it.
Typically a converted DC3 transport plane: "Puff the Magic Dragon" as anything it touched disappeared....I don't know, Gunny seems more like an A-10 sort of guy to me.

That's in the out building crawl space..
I guess with all this hype about what I have stashed away, I'll have to dig out something cool.
Nope! You've had cool covered in this thread for quite some time.
It’s a French Berthier rifle that the Turks cut down to a carbine. They were used by Turkish forestry agents . It is estimated that there were less then 5000 imported into the US.I like the wood on that Turkish model.
