Long time lurker logging in
« on: April 12, 2011, 11:20:25 AM »
Hi guys:  I'm an old dude now, retired Army, just turned 70, and been shooting and interested in guns for about all my life.  I've been spending most of my time over at Homegunsmith.com, good bunch.  But now decided it's time to introduce myself, because I'll be having some questions on a future build(s).  Oh yeah, retired from the Army in '81, in NC, been in my home since Sep '81.  Live about 10 or so miles east of Raleigh, NC.  Got a small woodworking shop where mostly I do wooden figure banks, and kid's puzzle rocking chairs.  Started a .22 rifle from pretty much scratch some time back.  Like old cars, fast old cars, guns, shooting, fishing, slow younger women.

Thanks guys.  Over at homegunsmith anyone introducing themselves owes a case of beer to anyone that welcomes them aboard - glad you guys aren't that advanced yet.   ;D ;D
