Hi. Another PA welcome to you, Calvary Joe. You're doing it right. Start at the current level of firearm development and work back to the beginning. At this level there is a curve to learning you figure out how to navigate it. Then, you wonder why you just didn't start here, and call it home. Welcome home and enjoy the journey!

Thanks Jack..
I started out many moons ago with single shot .22 rifles, found that I enjoyed shooting and with a proud military tradition in my family, I too joined the Army. There I fired everything from 1911’s on up, to include an 8” Howitzer and everything in between…” Ma Duece “ was a favorite…. Over the years I purchased more guns and became a bit of a history buff….wanted to know more about the development. When more funds became available, I started exploring older firearms. Now I have a small collection of cavalry carbines- 1860’s through 1890’s, and a small collection of Cold War era stuff - wood stocked battle rifles - and a growing collection of percussion cap pistols… most of my pieces are originals - with a few reproductions due to cost considerations….most importantly to me is that they all get used and properly cared for as I consider myself “the current custodian” of these inventions and expect they will be here long after I’m gone. Cheers !

Nice to find this group !
I am fairly new to this end of the firearm spectrum ( about a year ) and look forward to learning even more through this community.
I currently own an original 1779 pattern French flintlock musket, and a few Cap n Ball pistols.
I am a US Army and USAF veteran.
My other hobbies include woodworking, restoring things, history and exploring places in my Jeep. Oregon is nice, but I hate the politics here and am moving to South Dakota soon.

Cheers All,
Joe

Welcome aboard.
