For people interested in guns and history, building a Basic Book Collection (BBC) can be pretty daunting.

With the plethora of choices out there these days, it can make a person feel downright puny.


I'm no expert, but after 40+ years reading it repeatedly, I managed to whittle my Gun Library down to size.

Now I think of it as my very own BBC.


If you're curious, here's the Contents.


Manufacturers (USA)

Colt

No Comment (needed - lol)

Ruger

(Looks like they plumb forgot 'lost interest in' - roflol)

'Smith & Western'

JMO, but 'It takes 2 to tangle' with these guys...*at least* (rofl)


Authors

Cooper

'Ready on the Right'

Keith

The Grand Old Man

Skelton

'...a .44 Special New Frontier...'

Those are some good uns, definitely!

Nice set, whittled down to one or two per subject. Have you got anything by Charles Askins, Jr. ? Unrepentant Sinner, for example?

I was expecting to see pictures of 4.25" stroker crankshafts, H-beam rods, and forged pistons. Guess BBC isn't big-block Chevy?

I karma'd my copy of Unrepentent Sinner during last year's Spring Cleaning.


It's a great book.

Sorry to say, but I never had the pleasure of owning a Chevy.

Always wanted a classic like a '69 Z-28, but never took the plunge.

IIRC, I spent all my money on 'Guns & Ammo'...

Guess BBC isn't big-block Chevy?

Except in this and one or two other cases, I gather this isn't the place for humor.

Since it's unwelcome, I'll do my best to curtail it from now on.


For example, I just Recycle Bin'd a draft posting I wrote on gun-related online gaming.

Although it contained a few [*GASP*] jokes, it was more of a question anyway.


Next, I went ahead and 7X-Cclean'd the RB.

For the 'uninitiated', this means it isn't even History. (NOTE: If you still don't 'get it', go to Help.)


I'm sure it was all for the good.
