Hello everyone,
I'm a gun toting bible believing, constitution supporting American.
Prior military servise. Honorable discharged the day Elvis died.
I have a 100 yard range in my yard. I shoot a few rounds almost daily. I shoot .223 and .270 mostly. I reload almost daily. I'm retired and that's what I do to occupy time...

Hi Fellow TFL members
G'day from Downunder. I am a 65 yr old that has been involved with guns from a very early age, my dad was a soldier during WWII on the Kokoda Track and he introduced me to shooting to wit a No1 MkIII. Over the years I have owned a few of these and now own a No5 Jungle Carbine, a 98 Mauser and just recently collected a Model 1917 Eddystone. I still own my pattern 07 Bayonet along with one for the No 5. I also have a problem with my nerves in my legs that prevent me from going hunting in the high country but still able to shoot rabbits on my sisters farm, I have always had a passion for long arms and like to learn about all types not just the ones I have including my modern weapons. Hope to be able to learn a lot here
Cheers
Gunney

Hi everyone,
I've been a member here for a few months, just never introduced myself in this thread. I'm a long-time hunter, just started Uspsa shooting and reloading for pistols. Learned a lot on here so far, know I'm gonna learn a lot more. Thanks for all the good info and advice.

Greetings everyone. I came here for our mutual interest in fire arms and related activities. I currently own a Sig Pro 2022 and an AK47. I have an interest in learning better tactics and skills necessary to survive difficult situations. I've never faced a tough one yet but it's always a possibility

New member with lots of questions
I've had guns in my life since I was about 8 and own several still. However, I've come into control of a collection that my recently deceased father-in-law had. Most are easily identifiable and easy to place value on for the probate process. However, some have nearly no trademark information that I can track. There are a few black powder handguns that are the biggest problem. There are a couple of rifles as well that tell me what caliber they are, but little more. I'll be looking for help in this area and finding a way to value them properly.

Wow, reading just through a few pages of this thread it seems a lot of you already have a lot of experience. 100-yd ranges in your backyard?! drool...
I live in the Chicago suburbs, so my options seem to be local tiny 25 yd ranges or a 2 hour drive to a shooting club.
Anyway, newbie here, just bought a .22 rifle online. Mossberg 702. I'm learning that the real hunt is for the ammo.
I've got a lot of questions, but i'm a notorious lurker so I may be pretty silent. Oh well.

Good Morning, I already received two sales pitches from member here. I decline.
The sheriff of Washington County, Oregon took my concealed carry permit when I was arrested for trespass with a firearm. It took me over 160 days to be found not guilty. It burns my ass to even have a concealed carry permit.
I am 76 and woke up last August. I learned a bunch in short order. I had my 40 S&W and permit. I always got all licenses, permits, etc. I accepted government changing my right to a privilege and charging for it or denying the privilege.
I no longer accept this. I'm seeking others in Oregon that are like minded. Constitutionalists.
Common Law grand jury anyone. Open or concealed carry with no permits.
shall not infringe. Oregon constitution needs to cleaned. It is repugnant now.
