Hello. My name is Michael, and I have severe, and chronic Collector's A.D.D. Some of you will recognize me from other forums/websites. I fell in love with the Standard Arms Model G, about 18 years ago. Thought it was the purdiest rifle I'd ever seen. Fast foreward, 17 years. I saw a real beater at a gunshow, for $900.00! That renewed my interest, so started looking on the web. The next weekend, I found one on the junk rack at Cabelas, covered in handling rust. $400.00 out the door! That rifle, made me want to collect every semi-auto sporting rifle, made in USA, before WWI. All three of 'em. The next Gonzales show, I go back to Cabelas. This time in the junk rack, is a 1905 Winchester, mfg in 1907. $300.00 out the door, with a three pound bag of slimjims! Last month, I got a Model 8 Remington , mfg in 1911. Collection complete. Weekend before last, the dealer I got the Model 8 from, had a Standard Arms, Model M. Well... Now, I'm collecting Standards. Bought a junker G model off Gunbroker, for future parts. Wish I could have afforded that juicy deluxe model that just sold. Anybody here get it. Will post pictures, as soon as I can get everybody in the same place at the same time.

Thanks for the welcome. Could you post a link to the Chinese weapon forum? I seem to have misplaced it.
