Great story Charlie!

The Kennedy assignations (JFK '63 and Bobby in '68) caused the gun control act of 1968

Before that you could buy most anything out of the back of a magazine

I remember one dealer that sold Thompsons that were "deactivated" by the barrel being permanently plugged then just below that he ran an ad for Thompson barrels NOS

I always wondered how good those bicycle handle bar mounted BB machine guns advertised in Boys Life worked

and Charlie. Speaking of dynamite - every year in school we had a presentation - not for "stranger danger" but to show us the newest style basting cap and to tell us if we found one on the ground -not to touch it and to tell an adult


Not sure my wife believed me until this past weekend -antiquing in the southern tier I saw one of those safety displays in an antique shop we were in. Should have bought it

Art Isaacson is a very fine gunsmith, one of the best when it comes to Brownings, and a gentlemen's gentleman.
You would do well not to besmirch his good name.
You obviously know nothing of the man or his excellent work.

Bobby, You are correct, I have never heard of your friend, but I sincerely apologize to him, and to you for making a comment which you felt was demeaning of his skill, and character. To say one is "On Drugs" is a common expression, however vulgar, to mean someone has said or done something so far from the norm, and is not intended to mean it's literal translation. I'm sure his gunsmithing abilities are as good as you say, and are not reflected by his lack of knowledge of the antique toy market.
Once again, I apologize for my my poor choice of wording, and I will delete my comment.
