Howdy Folks, glad I found the forum. My name is Steve and I am a retired Marine. I retired as the 2nd Marine Division Infantry Weapons Chief and have been around weapons since I can remember. After decades of handling, shooting, fixing black rifles, machine guns, 1911s, .38s and Berettas, I have enjoyed some different guns lately.
I just bought a .357 BBS rifle. They were in stock for 5 minutes and I got lucky. It's my 2nd BBS with the first being a carbine. Like a major FOOL, I sold it. I did get a good amount for it, but I hate selling such nice weapons. Hoping the new side gate will make me feel better.
Look forward to reading posts.

Hey Steve. Welcome from Nebraska. I shoot the bbsc357. I know why you had to have another. Glad you’re here.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Hope to have that rifle in my safe by Christmas. Everyone is swamped and lagging. Then I have to decide if I want to shoot my bullets as they are like gold! Have to at least put a 1/2 box of .357 and .38 each.
