[Greylag]

Good man Wat…I’m trying to do the same with my spouse…

No time to dwell on the bad, only the good. Mr. Miagi would have it no other way! . The Morning Z:

Love that photo it's just WOW!

Thank you. I pick up this rifle first, and then since I'll be on the side of town, I'll collect Dr. Tyler and take her to breakfast. I was going to do that anyway, rifle or no.


Best wishes as well to you and yours.

I love that you have a rifle you pick up first. I don't do rifles as I am into English shotgun 1840 to 1900, preferably with hammers. Yes I use modern stuff from time to time where there is water and salt about but the good stuff is held back for special days. Nothing quite like shooting something hand made at the bench now nearly 200 years ago

I’m pretty much in the middle in the countryside about 5 miles from Stratford upon Avon

Pretty area! Nice!

 

[Wonderer67]

Ahhh but you don’t see much with the naked eye (see look at that, I slipped naked into a sentence).

If you take a picture of them the camera picks up all the colours. Friends a few blocks over sent me a few (I was sound asleep by then), I’ll post them a bit later

Shit! Wish I knew this! Just looked like clouds with lines!

A friend of mine who lives in the south of England does old shotguns.

I own a 1913 Lee Enfield Mk3. It’s a great rifle.

Got up in the middle of the night to see the northern lights.

Saw them. It wasn’t all that much….

Now can’t sleep.

REGRETS! My wife is showing me pictures from all over the world, and I wish I was a little more patient last night.

I have always wanted to see the northern lights and I guess for the five or 10 minutes I was outside, I didn’t see much.

I’ve been above the Arctic Circle three times. Once for close to a week….never once glimpsed the Northern Lights …

What are the chances?

I have been collecting old shotguns for years but the market peaked and now everyday English guns are for peanuts. I shoot percussion muzzle loading on days we take as a group of similar nut cases dressed in period costume. It is just great fun and we get our bag of 100-120 head each time we go out despite the age of the guns..

The gun I am using here is a Charles Lancaster percussion gun of around 1850ish.

That was a photo taken last night, a few minutes from where I live (Great Lakes region in southern Canada). The lights were clearer through a photo lens

Really pretty! When I was up it wasn’t much. Looked simply like some light green striped clouds.

I had the appointment with the transfer man for when he opens. Mom opens an hour later. She has nowhere to be and all day to get there, and her hurrying is behind her.


I picked up a 1943 manufacture M1 rifle. You know, WW2 and all. Old enough to have greased a Nazi, maybe. And it might have visited Korea, too. I have several war rifles like that and wonder sometimes what they know that they ain't a'tellin'.

Yes I know what you mean! I wonder what the gunsmiths of old would have said if they knew their work still had a use in my hands four generations on.

Some of the manufacturers records are still available so you can get a copy of the day book with purchaser specification and price if you are lucky. I have done that with some I have.

Most though went up in smoke during the war.

Best I can do with these is narrow it down to the month. I won't know which branch of the military got it, or when, or where it went even if it went anywhere. And then there were the Cold War rifles which might have gone to 'Nam, maybe. They didn't stay long if they did.


I'm in the part of the country which burned in the 19th century unpleasantness.

 

[enbiji]

Hmmm, maybe. I just wanted to clear any confusion as to my professional status. I don't have one. I give it away.

Wat's up sweetie

 

[enbiji]

I like it, sounds classier, and we ARE all classy folks here (sort of, I may be a weak link…)

I feel trollopy today
