Man! Yesterday I bought a Swiss 96/11 Rifle and have it on the way from Simpson Ltd, supposed to arrive on the 2nd. Then just now I was perusing GunBroker just to check prices on Postal Meter M1 Carbines and ended up hitting a buy it now for $880! Damn!
My Dad was a Postal Inspector for over 33 years and a clerk before that. So, I knew I wanted a Postal Meter M1 at some point and this one has a Rock Ola barrel. LOL
So, in my "other life" I'm a seamstress/fiber artist and I have something like 14 sewing machines from an 1897 model 15 Singer up to a 2010 Simplicity Quilter. Most of my older machines are named. I've fallen into that habit now with my C&R guns - my Mosin is Izzy, the Swiss 96/11 will be Regula and I'm trying to decide on the Postal Meter.
I had thought about bestowing the special name of Calamity Jane (a childhood nickname) on the Postal Meter but having the Rock Ola barrel I may have to consider something along the lines of Janis (Joplin) or Pearl for her album. Maybe Peggy Sue. Have to wait and shoot that one I think maybe then I'll figure out the name...
