Hello All. Thank you for the warm welcome

As I stated in my profile, I'm not a knife collector, or actually a collector of anything. I believe I would be more accurately described as an "accumulator" or another way of putting it, "gatherer of stuff in largish piles" most of which is usually just that, "stuff". I have a couple of knives that I acquired over the years and was curious about the value so found this site and joined up.

Guns have been pretty much my life since I was old enough to know what one was, which would have started in the mid/late 1940s.

As you can see my photo is of an FN-FAL G-1 version, DuraCoated in German Gray/Green.

However, as much as I like my FAL I have reverted to my childhood and am now, finally, able to afford and shoot the 22s I lusted after in my youth. I am mainly focusing on the 22s made before 1964 or so, with ZERO interest in the 10-22.

I have a very eclectic interest in guns and at any moment anything can attract my interest, except "tactical". Nothing at all against it, it just doesn't hold any interest for me. I just recently, year or two ago, ended my third iteration of the AR love affair and that will be the last one. I was able to come to some definite conclusions about the AR platform as it relates to me and decided it doesn't, so except for an H-Bar and an M-4 configured AR-15 ( I think they are still somewhere in the back of the safe) my "black" gun days are done.

I don't do ANY social media nor do I have a cell phone. It was difficult enough for those around me  to drag me kicking and screaming to learn the bare bones basics of operating a computer. Yeah, I'm an old dinosaur. Oh well.

I guess this old man's ramblings have gone on long enough. Once again thank you all for the warm welcome.

6 Hot New SIG Sauer Guns for 2019

At a range event in the desert outside Las Vegas before SHOT Show 2019, SIG Sauer gave firearm media members a glimpse of the company's new-for-2019 lineup. From the collection of guns assembled, it's clear that SIG's focusing on compact, personal-defense handguns as well as compact, suppressor-ready carbines and MSR-style pistols. Here are six hot, new guns we saw at the SIG Range Day in 2019:  READ MORE

Glad to hear that Jan.

Well the good news is it was neither our Momma or 2 year old.  We have videoed them both on the mountain in the last week.  A large male has also now made his presence known.  With the temps falling this week they are all out searching for the last bits of food available.

One of the cub.  We are beginning to suspect it was our 2 year old.  I do hate it as we have watched him grow and he knew where to get the peaches, pears, and berries so we did see him often in the fall.  I was not however looking forward to having a second male on our mountain.  That usually does not go well.  I certainly would have rather had one of the rehomed

That is too bad Jan.  Can't tell from the picture, nothing to compare to.  Was it one of the cubs or is it full grown?

Well Charles it seems we have lost one of our Bears over the weekend

I know whoever hit it sustained some damages also.  Folks when your out driving in the woods stay alert, it is not always Bambi that jumps out in front of you

Jan, what few acorns my oak tree has on it aren't fully grown yet.

Charles, that is what we SHOULD be experiencing.  Now do not get me wrong, I am in a little bit of heaven and afraid the heat is going to come on strong.  I do however see mother nature dropping nuts and getting animals ready.  NOAA says wet and above normal temps.  Farmers Almanac says we will get our first frost Oct 15.  A full month earlier than normal.  But they also say we will have a tropical storm Sept 7-16
