A "layout"....gotta love it....lol
I have....one.
The older I get, the more I realize "life in prison" is not that much of a deterrent.

Re: M14 Battle Rife Forum. No drama queens please.
This forum specifically helped me in so many ways:
1) Guided me in getting my dream 1942 Garand from CMP; the sticky note advice was huge in getting my special rifle.
2) I obtained the XM25 Stockliner from this page from Mitch himself. I?m so grateful for such a special part.
3) I was guided in getting my Sig M17 pistol and Springfield 1911 from here.
4) y?all helped me get through my stubbornness to get my COVID vaccine m?My wife and I needed it for our respective careers at the time.
5) Countless advice on maintaining my rifles as well as answering questions.
I was never steered the wrong way. Egos are checked at the door and I got blunt advice that I needed to hear. A few times I was talked out of buying something I never needed in this forum which allowed me to focus on things that would enhance my enjoyment of this hobby.

That is probably the best description possible for us. Willing to share with each other for the benefit of all. What a wonderful family.

Me too, but I'm having trouble deciding where to set my M1A for the photo, on the floor, or in the chair ?
Still thinking about it !

No fooling. As we mature, the thinking part takes much more effort that the actual doing. Whatta Hobby!

"family" so... lots of yelling over each other and fighting with siblings! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thankfully, very little of that goes on here. This is a much more mature and accepting sort of family where we tend to learn from and help each other. Whatta Hobby!
