WELL.............  What did ya get?  What did ya trade?  Where are the pictures?

DAMN!  I thought you knew better, m58!


;D

Patience Grasshopper ...

Pictures will come, but I'm suffering from not having everything in the same place at the same time ... That and I did this whole thing while working and trying to get to the range and trying to decide the order of importance of tasks (work, trade gun, shoot league, grab supper on the road, work).

I traded a well used S&W 22 a-1 5 1/2" (the gun worked very well, but showed use and was what it was - an entry level semi-auto) for a very lightly used (the red dot sticker on the frame still looked brand new) Ruger Mark III Target.

My bullseye gun is a Mark III with a Burris 235 red dot, and I have eleven mags for that gun.  My plans are to put plain plastic or rubber grips on this one and a red dot, and use it for general shooting, steel challange and USPSA type stuff (just what I needed was one more choice in this catagory).  I just love playing these games so much that I need to have the tools available, and you never know where I might end up shooting in 2010  ;D
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Is that code for "m58-1/2 doesn't know that they exist yet"?
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

That is why the gunroom door is locked   ;)  She knows where the keys are, but doesn't snoop.  

She has been in the area when some have asked to see and nearly fainted when I opened the door; she sees me come and go from the range with several range bags; and she has gotten fairly comfortable with my story that the suitcase I carry out is spotting scope, shooting coat, sling, targets ...; but I think she would be hard pressed to begin to list what is in there.

Possibly a Savage 1903... I have my grandpappys...

If they had hammers, probably Winchester Model 1890 or 1906...

I couldn't yell about the hammers, when I pulled out my pocket light to look through the glass someone walked in the room and I didn't want to look nosey or something.
A bird in the hand is worth..Well, about a box of shells!
Yes, I'm bitter and cling to guns and religion..

And if she's anything like Mrs. T she couldn't care less.

Of course, I SOLD all my guns, a long, LONG time ago!!    ;)
