Long time gun owner...shooter...reloader...hunter....slowing down
on the huntin' part...goes with age & Medicare coverage I guess
Have always been into S&W revolvers...back in the 70's when Clint Eastwood was S&W's main advertisement..I had a 17...27..and 29 all with the 8 3/8" tube...actually found the receipt from my 29 purchase in 1976 for $307 OTD...yes those revolvers have been sold quite a few years ago...then along came a 629..622...& 617...seems they are gone too....yes we all go through certain stages in life......
For the last 15 years I've been assembling my own LR Savage target/p-dog rigs....Savage action & Pac Nor barrels...passed on my knowledge & interests to some buddies..got to the point in life when I asked myself...just many $2K p/dog set ups does one guy need ?' Still do that sport..just using what rifles I have set up...my fav is probably the 20-Duece (20-222)...no Walmart ammo for this one...
Most recently Marlin lever guns caught my eye....22's in the 39 Mountie...357...44..45 Colt in 1894's....no collection would be complete without the timeless classic 45-70 in a 26" Cowboy gun......
Anyhow.....I live in Podunk Utah...small farm with enough work to get me busy....retired since 2011....drove a Brown truck for UPS for 27 years...married...send off the wife to work everyday...........
Joined the S&W forum to learn more about the products from '70's forward....the S/N system & 'dashes' are more confusing than Marlin's system...so if I ask alot of questions you'll understand....
Pic test now.........hope I don't get banned for a Marlin pic......1954 Mountie......
