Hi everyone,
This is my first thread on this forum and I just wanted to check in to say hello. I'm 55 years old and I hail from Sabattus, ME and have lived in this area all my life.
I've been interested in firearms and shooting ever since I was a "Wee little hay seed". Thank God for my father who took the time to show me at an early age the do's & don'ts of firearms.
I have been reloading for quite some time now. I started dabling in it around 1974. Today I don't buy ammo, just components. I presently reload 9X19,.38/.357,.40 S&W, .45 acp, 5.56X45 & .308. Also, I must have been a crow in a past life bacause when at the range I'm constantly scanning the ground for that sparkly treasure, brass!
As you can imagine by my handle the .45ACP is my favorite. Just love them fattys, especally my 1911-A1 that I built from a kit package from SA that I picked up in 84. The only things orignal left on that gun is the frame and slide. I have been really fortunate while building that gun and working on my other firearms. I am a Tool & Die Maker by trade so all of the fixtures and jigs I have been able to build.
I really enjoy this site and am very impressed with it. I just registered recently and am looking forward to becoming a regular.
