    Default Stuff you didn't know you had

    Ever stumble across things you have and have no memory of where they came from and you can't even remember you had them?

    I was moving some stuff around in the laundry room last night and found a couple of Walmart bags beneath some blankets. One bag had a set of FAL handguards in it and the other bag had a complete Glaco shoulder holster rig. I did have a FAL at one time so it's possible the handguards might have been left over from that but I don't recall changing them out. I have no clue how I ended up with the Galco rig or even what it fits. Might have to research the holster and see if it fits anything I currently own.

    Found a fully loaded (I HATE that phrase) 30-round mag of .300blk the other day in the mesh side pocket of a backpack I was about to take on a bike ride to Home Depot. I took it on a deployment with me and forgot it was in there, but I guess I knew I had it.

    Rediscovered several crates of Guatemala M193 surplus in my stack of empty ammo crates. I knew the crates were there, but had thought they were empty, then I went to move them and five of the crates were really heavy. Turns out I'd never gotten around to using them all up.

    I'm a bit of an ammo whore.

    Found out that I have a 20-round HK 91 (308) mag.... I've never owned one, so I don't know why I'd have it.
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    Many a year ago the spouse was cleaning out an old horse loafing shed being torn down for the new garage. She calls me over asking if these items were trash or should she save them... 3 cases of SA 308.

    I imagine mags are going to be somewhat of a theme here lol. A few weeks ago, I found a stash of Scar mags I sat aside for a buddy of mine who didn't pony up his portion on a group buy a few years back. I honestly can't believe I forgot about those. They weren't fully loaded, however.

    6.5 Grendel mags. Some loaded. I have never had a rifle in it. Picked em up before the ban with the intent of getting an upper...still need to.

    Moved a few years ago, and in the stuff we were moving, the wife said, "guess what I found" I didn't even try.
    She held it up, a firearm. Little tiny thing. Was probably part of a trade at one time. No clue when, who, what for, or even that I had it.
    It was past July 1 2013 so I kept it. Not worth the hassle/$$ of an FFL to sell it.

    I do it with paintball parts all the time. Could probably assemble 20 working guns just from all the parts.
