New old guy in town.

Post by Larry in OK » Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:12 pm

Hey.

Found this place while doing some web surfing looking to troubleshoot a problem with my Henry .45-70 lever gun today.
I found a hint here and was able to resolve my issue and decided to hang around some.

Me, I'm a late '50s guy. I've been shooting and hunting pretty much all my life and I think if I keep at it I may get good at it some day.
I have a preference for classic style guns. Single action pistols, lever action rifles, single shot rifles and flintlock muzzle loaders. I also dabble in modern sporting arms.

I've been reloading since the late '80s, started casting in the late '90s. I do it for fun and for the challenge as well as being able to shoot a lot with out going broke.

Other interests include traditional film photography and sailing.

Looking forward to being on this forum.

Larry.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
