snowing here so im shooting 22s in my office

Probably the most popular caliber firearm in most of the world. Many of us have more than one. They also are very collectible and still cheap to shoot.

thats where i started - after many years of being away , i had sold most everything i owned over the years when i was younger and my interests had changed , then i rediscovered my youth , and my interest in all things enfield and 'springfield' [as it were - the lable applied to US weapons in the group i was discussing in]

i then lost my father in 2001 , and inherited the weapons i grew up with both springfield and enfield and evolved into the person i am today , part then - mostly now , but remembering when ,

so its an eclectic collection at best , partly passion - my enfeilds and US collection and partly childhood memories the others you see , im buying what i could not have then and going to pass them to my grandchildren , hope they know what this all means , and intent on telling them what we once had , freedom , here in this country
