Backed up in the shop. I brought 20 guns from a estate that are rusty and need to be refinished then I can sell them (All kinds and brands from .22 to 30-06) but I am apparently the only smith still in business around me so getting a bunch of repairs to do AND getting guns to reblue. I got 5 in this week to restore and 4 to fix. So ALLOT to do.
Nancy and I are doing ok for old folk My hip and knees are still giving me pain and Nancy's arm is still giving her a hard time but we just keep going.
Among the guns I bought are a Marlin 444 (I going to keep that one) and 740s and so many I can not list. I have a remington (Springfield) 30-S in 30-06 with the niedner side mount with the lyman alaska scope on it. This was a interwar gun and all parts are original even the stock has the ser. number stamped on it. The guy wants $500 for it and I think I am going to buy it.
As for my brothers estate I am going to work on it this weekend getting all the paperwork written up to send to the lawyer to figure out the taxes to pay. This has been a bitch and taking allot of time from work I can see why the people that were suppose to do it said no.
I have been looking into TFF but see there is allot of new people that like to argue and are smart butts that is why I am not posting I do not have the time to deal with that BS.
So how are you and your family doing? I hope all is well.
Alask 44 sent me a PM and gave me his email, it appears he corrected someone on the Religious Thread and they gave him a time out. He told me he wasn't going to be belittled by anyone.
Still going.
