    I'm new but old

    Howdy.

    Getting back into hunting as the price of everything has gotten out of control, including meat.

    I have gun oil running through my veins, father was a semi famous gun smith and as he has all but retired I have be given some gear.
    I have steered away from reloading but now am keen to learn, got some of the ol boys reloading stuff, a press etc.

    I have more of a carpentry background so might look at some stock work but don't get excited I have only altered and copied so far for utility pieces.

    Keen to learn even at my age.

    Cheers

    Welcome, you sound like you have a lot to contribute with your dads background.

    Cheap meat always tastes better too.

    Rumpy, I just wish I had paid a bit more attention when I was younger. Hard to download the old boys knowledge when he's near the capital and I'm 7 hours away.

    welcome aboard..... there are a few guys lately who have done some fantastic stock jobs that may interest you.
    always seems to be someone asking if anyone around who can fix this of that.

    Welcome aboard
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
