Forum handles?

[JEBar]

nice looking collection .... we have a JM model 39 with a very smooth action .... it is one of the rifles we use to teach our grandkids to shoot .... its biggest negative is being heavy with an emphasis on being nose heavy ....

[Vaquero]

Nice little collection, I've always liked 9422's and would love to add one here.

Dan, just a little bit of caution if you hang out here. These guys are the greatest bunch of enablers I have seen since being active on the Marlin forum several years ago. Soon you might be changing your name to DanHenry22.

Geez, I’m such a dolt. Dan, I now see you have been a member here for several years so you are well aware of the Product Purchasing Pals Sir Henry so artfully named.

Beautiful line up of lever 22’s you have there. Back in the 80’s (I believe) Winchester brought out the XTR series of rifles with beautiful walnut stocks with deep cut checkering and a wonderful deep blue. I have had a 9422 XTR in my mind since and I should get active about scratching that itch. A few years ago my wife had the Browning BLR-22 you mentioned. Beautiful rifle but she struggled with dropping the hammer (scope installed) and had a couple of harmless accidental discharges so we got her a bolt action 22 and she’s more comfortable with that. That Browning was very nice.

[Danwin22]

No problem, I had a Winchester 9422 XTR but stupidly traded it off. Your Browning needed an offset hammer for easy let off.

My 9422 S/N starts with F18 and the 9422 XTR was in the F45 range.

Very nice looking collection!

[Headhog]

My handle is a nick-name given to me by my friends wife. I was our Harley chapter president and Angie would call me Headhog. Angie passed from breast cancer is 2013 and we miss her dearly. She was a great friend.

Mine is fairly simple.

My daughter and I went through the YMCA Princess program (Y-Princess, now Y-Guides). This area in NC has what may be the largest and most active program in the nation. It is a fantastic program for fathers and off-spring and has given us some great memories of camps and activities. It’s designed to make encourage fathers to have more involvement with their children.

It has also thought me never to trust a weather forecast (camp weekend that was supposed to be in the 70s and 80s turned into 40s and 50s. I didn’t pack appropriately for real weather).

For the program each participant is required to create an Indian name.

My “Y-Princess” name was Patient Wolf. Her name was “Dancing Wind”.

For those familiar with the program I will sign off with the traditional “How How”.

[Kissmybrass]

This is my first and only forum ever.
Signed up and was looking at my very first Henry and first rifle, the Big Boy Classic .357, and thought "Hey if you don't like my Henry you can kiss my brass" I can't remember how or why I even signed up but I'm so glad I did!

I like all the enablers on this site lol and I'm affectionately known and KMB
Since joining I have a few more firearms, ammo, reloading equipment, a Sportsmans Warehouse credit card, a carry conceal permit, two range memberships and zero regrets :-)

Real name is Darin, named after the guy on Bewitched.

[Hatchdog]

Hey KMB, your accumulation is a nice start.

Bewitched, now that was a fun show back in the day. Always loved it when his M-I-L called him Derwood.

Funny you mentioned that - Derwood was my neighborhood nickname lol

[Koyote]

Koyote - While trying to extract my arm from under my gf one early morn, she woke up, turned to me and asked me what I was trying to do.
Quickly responsive, I automatically said, "Mornin' Coyote Ugly" (Long before the movie)...She burst out laughing and asked me why I called her that.
I told her about a coyote who got caught in a steel trap and had to gnaw it's leg off to escape the trap. It was then known as "Coyote Ugly". I told her I just thought about her the same way, "Coyote Ugly". She laughed again as she was absolutely gorgeous and really out of my league.
I guess she liked the name so much she tried to get a license plate that said, 'COYOTE', but it was already taken, but she did manage to get the name 'KOYOTE' instead for the plate on her car. When she passed, I just started using the KOYOTE name for some of my writings, signing it to some of my artwork and of course using it here.
Lots of interesting stories behind the handles here...

Funny thing, walking thru Wallyworld with my daughter and family, up to visit from VA first of the month, and they wanted a few things. We usually avoid the place, but if I have to go... ... I check out the movies and TV.

Bewitched, all eight seasons, $25. In the cart. Season One, thirty six episodes. I have already seen Adam West, Arte Johnson, Raquel Welch, and Paul Lynde in guest rolls. Thirty Six episodes in one season... What do we get now? Between fifteen and twenty then reruns?

Hope you laughed

[Mr. Neutron]

My last name is Newton. In the mid ‘70s my motocross racing buddies tagged me with “Mr. Neutron”, a character played by Graham Chapman in Monte Python’ s Flying Circus.

If I can find a decent picture of him, I may need to change my avatar, I guess……..

In EDIT: Could’ve registered as “Jimmy Neutron”, I suppose …… But my first name is spelled with an “ie” on the end……

And here's the Real Mr. Neutron:

I couldn't size him down enough for an avatar photo. I somehow couldn't find my Far Side "Ole Hank never really was a "Quick Draw" cartoon I'd been using for an avatar. That was used because at one time, I actually was the fastest draw in the local Action Pistol and Speed Steel Plate matches I used to run and shoot. That was many moons ago, however........

First thing I thought of was this fella.

[BMCTED]

I served in 2 branches of the military. I enlisted in the US Army in 1970 and got out in 76 as a SGT E-5. I worked in various training commands.

Years later, when the Twin Towers came down on 9/11, I was just about to turn 50. I watched those towers go up from my back porch when I was young and being from Nfreakin'J, I know people who died that day including a next-door neighbor, Todd Beamer. Almost everybody who died in the Towers that day was from NJ ... and we were all so angry about the whole damn thing you could have lit a freakin' cigar by just touching it against one of us. So I just had to do ... something to get back at the baxters.

Like I said, I was just turning 50. I went to all the recruiters to see if I could get into a reserve outfit ... but nobody wanted an old guy. Then I found that the NJ National Guard had a Naval component ... the New Jersey Naval Militia and they were taking old guys. It turns out that the NJNM was the first military organization to show up at Ground Zero that day. With their little fleet of patrol craft they ran "water taxi" service from NJ to NYC. I got sworn in a month later on my 50th birthday.

Because I have some useful skills, I was enlisted as an E-7 Chief Petty Officer. BMC is my rank and my rate ... Boatswain's Mate, Chief. They swore I'd never go on active duty, but, of course, they lied. I ended up running a shop doing re-fit and refurb on small craft at the Philly Navy Yard for a while. My crew was a mix of AD, USNR and NJNG types ... and they were ALL outstanding.

I gave them 3 years and got out. I like to think I did a job that freed up a younger Chief to go forward and maybe kick some yazz for me.
