New guy

Post by martysport » Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:24 pm

Hi all :D
I'm new here (but not new to firearms) I've always been into guns since I was a kid :oops:
I currently own:

Marlin 25N .22LR
CZ452 .22WMR
Gamo CFX (23 joule) .177 (4.5mm)
Ardesa Tracker 209 .50 cal
stoeger x5 (9.6 joule ) .177 (4.5mm)
Pietta Remington 1858 .44 (cylinders reamed out to 11.5mm to take LEE 220g conicals)
Pietta Colt 1860 .44

I also enjoy casting bullet too fo the BP firearms.

I used to own a really nice customised Ruger 10/22 but I had to sell it when I moved to France :(
I also used to have a 1942 WW2 Mauser chamberd in 8x60 and a Voere .300 WM rifle (these guns I sold to buy a car, big regret but had no choice at the time)

Welcome to the forum.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Welcome to the site. Nothing like adding another voice to the mix. Also good to see you test out the registration after the update to repair it. Thanks particularly for a heads up when you noticed it not working several days ago.
