Wonderful responses! Thank you very much.
See the problem is, I think ALL my guns are museum grade
The stories did take some of the edge off, it helps to know I'm not the only one.
Special recognition to:
VaughnT-yours was THE best! I just love "battle scars on your equipment is a sign of a dangerous, well trained fella, and you should take pride in them". Just perfect.
BigG-YOU understand, my man! Fine personal machines, yep you got it.
ElTejon-YOU just don't get it, at all.
Bountyhunter-good advice, thanks.
To everyone else, your comments are very appreciated.
Firestar-are you my "twin". You know how they say everyone has an exact duplicate somewhere in the world, well you are mine. Or am I yours
10ring-just great, that word "character" is just what I needed.
