I just restocked my rivets

It was a familiar feeling that I couldn't place, but familiar nonetheless.

As I was refilling my AN426-3-3.5 tray (we use a few of those, huh!) the familar feeling came back. Only THIS TIME I could PLACE IT!

Looking at all those brand new, shiny rivets is just like when you were a little kid and you were opening a brand new container of BB's for your first BB gun!

Remeber that feeling!?! I do!

I felt so wealthy and though I could shoot FOREVER!!!

Anyone else get that feeling?

:D CJ

Oh yeah! I used to get them in cartons that looked like milk cartons and when you looked at them you would think that you would never run out. Of course a month or so later I needed another carton. :roll: I must say the rivets seem to last longer than the BB's did. :wink:

Good comparison, at least from my point of view and background.

Wait till you figure out how to make a blow gun using an air fitting, a straight piece of tubing, and rivets for ammo! ;-)

CJ that is RIGHT ON!!! :lol:

GREAT comparison! ...remember what it sounded like when the carton was still mostly full!

Weird, isn't it?

For some reason I just got to this thread...I totally remember this from being a kid at my Grandfather's house. My cousin and I used to go around the pond shooting frogs. Those cartons of BB's got me thru the summer!

Had that feeling just a couple of weeks ago with my 22 . Just got one of those red dot scopes and a few new boxes of shells. Yer right there's something about a new box of ammo :)
