New old goat
« on: June 16, 2010, 02:04:03 AM »
Howdy Folks,
just wanted to say Hi to the forum.  I am probably one of the oldest members but I am still shooting and riding my old Harley.  I live in the woods about 10 miles from the nearest town with a population of 25.  I shoot my 10-22s daily and on the week ends go through about 1,000 rounds.  I have a lady friend who also helps me go through the ammo.  Behind my house is a pond which always keeps me in targets like snakes and turtles. My firearms range from 50 BMG to .17.  When I am not shooting I still ride my 82 FLH.  In my younger days I worked all over the U.S. and some foreign countries as an inspector representing the major oil companies.  Now for 4 days a week I drive a bus for the Senior Citizens Center in a big town of 2772 population.  Well thanks for listening to my babbling.  Have a goodun!!!!

Well heck!  If you'll admit that in public in this day and age you're a heck of a man!    ;) :D

Howdy folks,
thanks for the welcome!!  My next 10-22 project is getting close.  I am gonna replace the stock hammers with Volquerson hammers and am going to try to add Yellow Jacket buffers.  These 2 rifles already have ATP stocks which are really handy with the extra ammo storage in the pistol grips. One of them has a red dot sight and the other has a Simmons scope.  Man, these little rifles are really addictive when you start modifying them.  Have a goodun!!!!
