Cool photo. My two favorite uses of free time...firearms and photography. I think I'll borrow your lead and do a few "vinettes" of my meager collection. Might be a nice way to do a photo log of the guns that have come my way over the years. Mark.

Nice shootin', Tex!

SAHWEEET!!!

 

[Seeker]

Now that's a good looking gun!

What kinda boots are those?

 

[blades67]

Seeker,

They look like Corcoran Jump Boots.

ArmySon,

Didn't the Marine Corps ever teach you to shine the entire boot?

I believe that this is an excuse for the wretched condition of those boots. At least his sidearm appears clean.

 

[ArmySon]

Well, some people actually utilize their boots and not worry about the appearance 24/7. Some people still actually utilize their boots to hunt with. Hunting + fall + rain = MUDDY BOOTS

How many of you have spent time in the military? How many in the infantry? How often do you think the boots are nice and shiny like you see them in the movies?

Sheesh! Next time, I'll use a different backdrop. Intent of this wasn't to show clean, shiny boots. If that were the case, I would've used my jungle boots

 

[David Scott]

Are those the Combat Tactical SpecOps boots, with the pre-ban 18 lace-up holes?

 

[ArmySon]

There! I added a different picture for all you armchair generals that can't fathom the thought of dirty boots.

 

[Coronach]

A sobering thought

I was at my martial arts club the other day, sidelined with a minor injury. I was using the time to spitshine my new jump boots. A kid in the club, whom I know is a Marine reserve, saunters up and we make conversation about shining boots. He states (I am not making this up): "Oh, we never had to really shine our boots that much. They had to be black, but I've never had them that shiny" *points to my half-finished spitshine on the toe of one boot*.

A Marine who never had to spitshine a boot? ***?

Mike

PS yes, I *know* he is a Marine. No, my spitshine skills are not THAT good.

 

[GLOCKT]

My Corcoran boots are all leather.And on the toe of the boot is 13 holes from side to side for the original 13 Colonies.Maybe I'm old school but mine are all leather no nylon sides,and the soles are non-jungle style sure step striders."AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY"SAFE-SHOOTING!

 

[ArmySon]

Original picture had Corcoran Jump Boots instead of Jungle Boots

 

[PreserveFreedom]

I get jealous every time Son posts some pics.

 

[Tom B]

That BHP would look even better with a pair of Spegal African Blackwood grips. Oh by the way I happen to have a pair for sale!

 

[Dave R]

JMB would be proud of the way you made his babies look.
