First post from a 78 year old outdoorsman and collector.

I found this site after Googling up a gun a close friend picked up..... A Savage 220 smoothbore .22. Seems to be a lot of knowledgable people on this here.

My main interests are Pre-64 Winchesters. Been collecting for over sixty years..... 1897's, Model 12's and of course, The Rufleman's Rifle. I've contributed to Roger Rule and George Madis's writings, but still feel there's a lot more for me to learn from many of you, and if I can help anything to you, then registering for this site was a success.

Welcome, pull up a chair, have some coffee and hang on.....

Welcome

Hope you aren't thin skinned or have squeamish sensibilities.
Things get a bit interesting here. And rough.

The campfire is a free for all, The Freak show.
The Optics is snobby as hell.
The rest? Usually pretty tame.



Welcome.
Pull up a chair.


Do you own a 270?

Your previous screen name wasn't gophergunner was it?

If so, congratulations on your resurrection, we hear you died a horrible death.

Free Fred!

Good Mornin'Flyingliver,

I reckon you get into the Ace Hardware gun dept. in Hudson.

Best,

Chuck

Welcome, especially from another Winchester aficionado... And I'm only 20 miles from ya...

Are the strip clubs open in Hudson?

GFY

Hudson is great, I almost moved there one time about 30 years ago. Nice country.

Nah - that's Houlton, about six miles N on Hwy 35... Hudson's got good and varied eateries up the wazoo, but downtown parking is like the Dodo, non-existent.. Beautiful city actually, but it's changed to mostly flamers over the last three decades from all the MN transplants using it as a bedroom town..

Welcome Sir!

Welcome to the campfire, Flyingliver. There are many more that bark than there are who bite. You'll figure that out pretty quick. In the meantime, if you have questions about anything, ask away.

That’s right.

Does yer best gal look anything like this?

Hmmmm?
1 post, introducing himself, then nothing?


A 270 shooter?

Getting worried.

Welcome liverman. Please, do tell, how did you choose that handle.





And yes, like jack says. Get on the bandwagon and release fredIII.



In an internet sort of way, but that counts, right?

Too often the "new guys" come, and go like Mary Pipkins with the west wind.

But,
But,
We didn't even take a shot!

JeffA, you offended him.

he probably read a few of the other threads and headed for zee hills

It is odd, folks will read on this crazy place, make the jump, post a few times, then go off?

just long enough to install a sock puppet for before the next election

Could it be that the attacks become direct and personal once you join?

Flyingliver, just ignor Karen, I mean Florida man and you'll be fine.

Welcome to the campfire

YA DARN TOOTIN!

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I'll try to answer some of your questions in one post...... but certainly not my last.

SLUMLORD, Thank you for being the first to welcome me!

CISCO1, You've got the correct hardware store, but it's in Baldwin.

VALSDAD, I love everything about duck hunting, from decoy making, duck boats, and especially seared mallard breasts, with an apricot sauce I make. Duck=Dark Meat= FLYINGLIVER.

TOO ALL THE "BAITERS", I taught school for 44 years, so I'm not easily offended. When I read something a little "edgy" I just remember back to when "I had my first beer".

Oh I almost forgot..

WABIGOON, Don't ever post a picture of my wife again!

flyingliver,

you'll do alright by me..........................................................for now..................................

as to the duck breast in apricot sauce, there's a food forum down the list aways. Visit it please, post picks of the aforementioned meal for us. And, if they look as good as they sound, be prepared to be asked for the recipe for the sauce.

she's a hottie once out of alla them duds

welcome

Was I supposed to introduce myself.......had no idea as am lacking social skills that way...


Now I'm glad I didn't........always enjoy the threads where some idiot introduces him or herself.....

Oh, before I forget........welcome fryingliver!

Hey Flyingliver,
My late Uncle as a kid worked at Herman’s Landing on the Chippewa Flowage when Louis Spray was fishing there. Louis lived in the
Rice Lake area for a while. Not sure though if you are familiar with him.

Ga ,

Don't remember your Uncle. I fished the Flowage .....big area, good fishing.

Do you remember the Buckhorn Bar ( long gone) in Rice lake?

GFY!!
