For those out there that have not seen George Carlin and his routine on "stuff", it is a riot. Well worth five minutes of your life to laugh out loud.

Now here is my question. I find myself with 40 years of American Rifleman magazines in the basement. Also a good number of the other rags also. A collection of gun brochures that takes up boxes and boxes. I am also on a mission to collect NRA Annual Meeting "stuff" (especially ceramic mugs). Duck stamps are up there. A few hanging on my wall which drives the wife and kids crazy.
I know I am a pack rat but was wondering how many others are doing the same? What else besides guns have you been "collecting" in hopes of having "every one of them" ?

Uh,.. that would be a "No Comment". My wife calls it "Area 51" she doesn't know what I need to have in "my shop behind the garage" ;D
I also have "the realm" which is a portion of the attic, next to the holiday "stuff".
She doesn't even go to the "man room" upstairs anymore. Its my office, study, studio, and a "place to store things" ;) 8) ::)
But, I am hoping the DRTV forum, can come through and have a huge yard sale, at a central location, and do George Carlin proud,
buy and sell our "stuff"!

Holsters........ ;D

Patches, T-shirts and HATS. I have a huge box of patches from military, law enforcement, fire, EMS and Boy Scout units, events, and places. Then the collection of hats that went around the room and half filled the closet. The shirts are split similarly, military, police/EMS, and shooting. I can almost wear a different combination shooting/military hat and shirt every day for a month!
Of course the box of holsters keeps growing too :o

Handloader magazine going back to 1976 I think, Gun digest and shooters bibles going back to the late 40,s, holsters and speedloaders aplenty,antique handloading equipment, and old loading manuals. I like period posters and tin posters. Remakes are fine. I do have some very cool patches from the Olympic trials and so forth, some from manufactures like alliant, Hercules, Winchester etc... Maybe we should do a garage sale here.

I think I am among friends here, so I will divulge this passion - RCMP memorabilia. That's right, the Mounties, wanna make something of it??
I even have a full red serge uniform, holster, and 2 pairs of the Strathcona boots. Way cool. No Stetson though, nor the Sam Brown belt, and the uniform would have fit me in my 20's, not now.
Wait a minute, this isn't the posting site I thought it was, it's DRTV!
OMG, I am so dead! :o :o :o
Oh well, bring it on. ;D

brass lot of brass .308 mainly

I don't really collect anything besides guns, and not many of them either, with one exception. I haven't missed a Guns & Ammo ANNUAL since 1977. I was in highschool when I got the first couple of issues. It was hard to find them in the army and even harder to find after I got home. They're well read and worn with no value to most people but they're all mine. :)
I keep my American Riflemans for about a decade. I can fit 2 years worth in each of 6 magazine boxes on a bookshelf. When it's time to start filling a new one, the oldest year or two has to go. I used to give them to guys at work but now I take them to doctors and dentists offices.

Uh, according to the rules,.... subchapter 1198, volume B, chapter 8445, pg. 845, ( at the bottom),...... 8), of the DRTV code,..
You are obliged to show pics in your "full RED serge uniform" WITH holster and boots. Horseback is optional.
Hey,... you ARE among friends!
