New here from the "city of champions" in MA , grew up the next town over with an avid hunter father. Venture to Northern Maine Aroostook County and Western Maine every year also have hunted central PA and southern PA in November for many years . Hunt in MA here also Shotgun and BP
Collector of S&W revolvers and all Lever guns, Past competitive trap shooter and Blackpowder shooter now dabble in IDPA as I live a mile from a great gun club.
Buck Knife collector - I have too many
I learned of FE as I wish listed one of the FE Model 36's with my LGS. Hopefully I will get one

Side hustles include Gunsmithing and Grip and Stock refinishing and repair - Learned from My cabinetmaker Dad.
Happy to be a member here Watches , Hunting, Guns (Brown Liquor) --- Right up my alley.

First one is the latest stock fix mid 1940's A-5 built in US as Browning left belgium due to WW2 and had the guns made here after the Model 11 transition. Installed stock blank inletted and refinished and matched with a refinished forend .

Next an 80's JM marked micro groove 336 Had a broken firing pin ( Don't dry fire) Stock had peeling poly and was in rough shape new cut spacers for recoils pad and grip cap, Complete BLO mix refinish.

Finally a few of my stable

Model 10 Vietnam era had only the frame with a bulged barrel attached, i Built it with spare parts I had from when I worked at a Local Gunstore cold blued, Best shooting 38 around. quick reblue done years ago and have shot 100's through it

2011 bought it used as we are not supposed to have them here in this lovely State, all that was used from the original SA parts was the barrel slide and frame , the rest is all high quality forged parts. Shoots like a dream

Finally my masterpiece as we cannot have all of the big money custom 1911's here so I bought this SA fully loaded at a gunshow , completely rusted and locked up for $300 and only used the barrel slide and frame all hand fitted internals -- High Quality parts (Harrison Wilson combat ) Reblued myself

I have done 100's of stock's and repaired more handguns than I can remember. This post is not from an Ego that i don't have just what I enjoy , not the greatest at the camera sorry
