As a bit of an introduction, I am a life time gun crank (old man), shooter and student, always looking to learn. Among other collecting interests I am a lover or all things Springfield. My past includes military school, Army service (11th Cav) high power match shooter, avid hunter etc. I still try to hold the line on being a near weekly shooter, re-loader and bullet caster. Needless to say I am glad to be here! Thank you to the folks behind the forum and their efforts. Cheers, tim
