Thanks for the kind words Dusty,
Since I got hurt, I have focused on making custom guns and custom leather rigs. It is very rewarding to take a pile of parts and make something work and work right. I missed a very good deal on a 36" bed jet lathe with lots of goodies! And it was cheap! My problems is I cannot stand over 15 mins. and cannot sit strait up in a chair, so when I am leather working, I have a good office chair on casters that I can lean back and relax! I have been shooting for 48 years, i have been reloading for 36 years, i sold all my progessive shotgun loaders, but still have 3 progessive pistol/rifle press, 2 single stages, 4 sets if powder scales and a $1200.00 bullet weight scale, 3 RCBS Powder dumps, and one Blending mull powder dump. 2 years ago, I bought a Cresent 16ga SXS in a box, and had to build firing pins, firing pin holders and springs, the internal hammers, and more! My back won't let me shot factory loads, and since I shot registered skeet for 4 years, I came up with a real nice 5/8oz load to shoot in the 16ga. So I am shooting a 410 load in a 16ga. For 20 years I rebuilt 1911's for all my friends. I just love guns. I have several on the back burner, but allways looking for the old single shot falling block or rolling block actions. I am not very good at fitting wood anymore!
If you every want to talk guns, just pm me and I might or might not be able to help you.
Later
