Hello, I'm out here

[65-2x2]

Greetings, and thank you for allowing me to join you all.

I am a grouchy old cuss that is so close to retirement I can smell it. I am also an avid gun collector, with a strong interest in military surplus firearms. I have a modest collection of WWI and WWII rifles from around the world. I have a strong interest in WWII history and a large WWII library.

I have also lately developed a taste for older wheel-guns. I am a bit thin on S&Ws but, I am working on that. My bedside pal is a 65-2, I have a couple of Victory models, and several top-breaks.

I have found that I have a knack for working on the old top-breaks, (when I can find parts) but it seems as soon as I fix one, it gets confiscated by my son who is a S&W collecting nut. It's OK though, I can't own the all!

I wanted to join you so that I could expand my knowledge of Smith and Wesson firearms.

Thanks,

Steve

Welcome to the S&W forum. I retired once. But I needed to do SOMETHING so I went back to work. You may find that the same fate awaits you.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Welcome from the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey.

This retired grouch retired due to accident injuries, and in all honesty, I can't figure where I found the time to go to work, and that is after almost 6 years of retirement.

I get along best with grouchy old cuss's, as I am one too! (The guys at the firehouse will vouch for that.)

Hi!

Welcome from Tennessee. I retired 2 years and 4 months ago as of 4 PM yesterday. I'm grouchy only when useful. This is a great place to hang out. Be safe.
