    Hello TWM. Thank you for the friendly post on my CP. Yes, it is "Ingo in the US" as I am originally from Germany (don't hold it against me ).

    MN misses you. You know what they say: "Once you lived here, you will always come back, jaah". Hope to see you around!

    Thanks for the kind words WanderingMind. I love the old rifles, and the albums were a test to see if I could create them. The pictures don't do justice to how the guns really look in person.

    Hey, TWM, we geezers gotta stick together! LOL! I like your decor, though it makes my eyes jiggle a bit. Did I see that you're still on active duty? I tried, but they couldn't take a broke down old Seabee back without an act of congress. After three months of fighting red tape, and getting chewed out by my NCO son, I gave up to reality. But I do try to say something for them, on a daily basis. If you have to go again, you'll be in our prayers, with the rest.

    Yes, I know the area around Alex well. But I have not been to LeCompte. On my mother's side of rhe family, I have relatives that live in Marksville and the surrounding area which is about thirty miles south of Alex. I have hunted in that area quiet a lot and am planning to hunt there this coming hunting season. I do read a bit but not nearly as much as you. It is seldom that I finsh a book in a week, much less a day, although I have done so in the past. I am, as I'm sure you know, an eclectic reader, I will devour any book on any subject if the subject appeals to me. But I absolutely refuse to read mysteries. I tried when I was younger but that genre never did "light my fire." I love to hunt, can't stand to fish Now going after Crawfish---that's a whole 'nother subject.
    I'm not retired military, but I am retired. LOVE IT!
    I'm a fair shot with a single action revolver out to 25yds and used to be darn good with an iron-sighted rifle. But this year I'm going to be useing a scope for the first time did pretty fair with it at the range @ 50yds with my .22 scoped rifle Also I'm going to try a tang "peep" sight on one of my rifles and see how I do with that.
    I live across the river from "Chocolate City," ----in Jefferson Parish. But the politicans here are just a hair better than those in "The Big Easy" But let's not go there, let's keep this frendly and speak of things we enjoy. Nice to hear from you!

Someone important asked me the other day, “Why do you like those old bolt-action military rifles, anyway?”
First of all, I have always been a devout lover of anything with a lock, stock and barrel. It’s an engrained portion of my being, and has been since childhood. I have a picture of myself, age 3, with my cork pop-gun, out hunting my aunt’s ducks.
Secondly, growing up as the son and grandson of carpenters, and the nephew of a millworks cabinetmaker, back during the last days of hand...
