    Old Man joins forum

    I have always enjoyed reading this forum to the extent a mate told me to join. Been shooting for a long time and taken the odd animal during the last 50 odd years. Currently using M96 6.5x55 Swedes; one in sporting configuration and the other (1916) in original nick with all numbers matching. Looking forward to more reading. (Ingrid 51.)

    Welcome. Enjoy.
    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

    Anyone able to identify this stockwood? I think it could be be Elm as rifle is 1916 manuf and Elm was used 1915 to 1917. Second guess would be Beech.
