Glad I found you

Post by DMK » Tue Apr 14, 2020 10:03 am

Have fantasized of owning a lever action rifle for many years, so the other day I took the plunge and purchased a Big Boy (44 Mag). Now that I own one, I have a lot of questions, so thank you for accepting me to the board.

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