New Here

[Mightydog]

I noticed that you are somewhere north of Fredric. Were you a bit apprehensive when filling in your location?? Did you follow YOUR own rule at that moment????

If you want to display your collection and storage specifics be my guest and tell all your location. Not all members are gentlemen or gentlewomen. Gotta use some basic common sense when posting to the public. And not apprehensive at all. When I lived in Myersville for 30 years i said “Myersville”.

Greetings.
IMHO you're off to a poor start here. Seem paranoid and overly sensitive to other's comments.
Chill guy, it's simple curiosity and some minor ball busting.
Enjoy your time here as your current attitude may limit the amount of time you have.

PS: MAGAZINE please for the weapons shown.

I am a fan of Browning designed handguns.

When I was young, I would wait every year for that high quality paper inch thick browning catalog show up in the mail. I would sit with Dad in his home office and we would look through it. I would marvel at the beauty of the high end models and say, I want this and that. He would say, You need to spend less time out in that garage and way more time studying your school books. You are legacy at MIT. Keep your eyes in school books instead of all of these gun magazines. With your mechanical mind, I believe you could make a fine mechanical engineer. I said, Mechanic, dad. I don’t want an office job. He said, Ummhuhh, You say that now.. He leaned back in his chair, fired up his pipe and picked up his Sailing magazine. I said, Mechanic Dad, You know that I get sea sick! He rolled his eyes. He said, Show me your homework tonight!!
Reality is that majority of engineers are in offices and very good diesel and hydro techs in good shops make more than a lot of engineers and doctors. I do wish that I re-payed him for the tuition he payed for my schools.
I have a Browning grade2 BLR22 that I adore. You can cycle it by flicking your fingers. The lever swing is only 33 degrees. Hand never leaves the stock. You stay on target and it’s wicked fast. It has nice dimensions and awesome balance.

Why would my time be limited here if I am not breaking the rules? Seems to me that ballbusters should be able to take as well as they give. That makes sense to you, right?

Hello
I’m am new here. I have been a diesel and hydraulics tech for 39 years. I grew up in and still live in the country.
I am a bit apprehensive about being here. When I was young, my uncle was home invaded. I didn’t go well. I will spare details but they new whi he was from him being at gun shows. There were many who invaded all at once from many entrances. I wish not to have that issue replied to. I thank in advance for that.
Thank you for having me.

Curious printing on my military ammo cans. CLIPS.

Found a replacement safety on one of my selves. I had gotten it from SARCO in PA years ago. I had forgotten that they sent one years ago.
That little tit is what broke off of the original. Note how it is not ambidextrous like the modern Hi-Powers.

Clips = stripper clips, or en bloc clips (like those used in a Garand)

Clips are not magazines, magazines are not clips.

Wow, I've lost skin to all of those at one time or another!

 

[Browning Fan]

Ok, Where the heck are you boys on the ‘ol “ Potato Potato Tomato Tomato “ issue”?

 

[Scottysan]

'Tato's and 'Mato's

LOLs... I like them all!

That was a good instructional image to differentiate between the two.... BUT...
I could care less what you call them... as long as I understand what you're talking about.
