"Stock Market" Investment

Ron Wood · 12-11-2007, 05:35 PM

Unless you have deep pockets (I dont!), it takes a while to put together a "portfolio" like this.

Nice collection. I have never seen some of those stock setups.
Personally I love stocked pistols & have in addtion to my LP-08, C-96's & Inglis Hi-Powers.

Geez Ron,

Nothin' like making a guy feel like his collection is crap!!!

<grin> (I'll feel better though if you'll just mail me that funny lookin' one at the top!)

Very nice. I am exceedingly jealous. How about adding a blow-by-blow under the photo?

policeluger · 12-11-2007, 07:02 PM

very nice Ron, thanks for sharing with us....

George Anderson · 12-11-2007, 07:50 PM

Very nice Ron. The wooden extensions add so much to them though I still like the slick backs.

Frank · 12-11-2007, 08:18 PM

Really Nice!! I must have taken a while to amass those stocks!!

cirelaw · 12-11-2007, 08:20 PM

Remember, it all started with one Luger!!

Oh man! How do you get drool out from between the keys on the keyboard? I've fallen in love 6 times over...

Ron Smith · 12-11-2007, 11:30 PM

Ron,

A beautiful grouping of rare pieces. And an investment that cannot be accrued on the stock market.

Man, do I want a Carbine!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing.

John Sabato · 12-12-2007, 10:53 AM

Please Ron, Modify your beautiful collection photo by including at least the basic description of each model...

When will you add the .45 Luger Carbine to this collection?

mauro · 12-12-2007, 01:01 PM

Oh Ron,
simply amazing!
Really a beautiful collection.

lawrence · 12-12-2007, 07:10 PM

Ron,

Wow, that to me represents many hours, days, years, of successful study and searching. Beautiful!!

As for your pockets, sell a couple of those hummers and your pockets would drag the ground.

Thanks for sharing. Jesse

Ron,
You could charge admission for private showings and make a mint.

Magnificent!

Mr. Wood's collection of beautiful stocks is an outstanding example of "Blue Chip Stocks" as far as the Stock Market goes. I thought I would share an example of what constitutes an affordable "Penny Stock" for those of us who are economically disadvantaged.

This is a Daisy Model 717 pellet pistol in .17 caliber. Fairly accurate. It was used to win a state air pistol championship in 1987 (but without using the stock of course.)

The stock board also functions as a holster. The blued steel clip at the butt of the stock goes over a belt so it can be carried. The long narrow slit in the board is for the charging lever when the pistol is holstered.

Here's what it looks like with the stock attached.
