Pappy07 here, 67ish years old. Pappy cause that's the name my grandchildren called me. I have been shooting for longer than I can remember. Been handloading since I was around 11 years old ( don't believe that I have ever shot a store-bought .30/06 round). I reckon that I have an accumulation of somewhere between 1 and 50-something firearms. I love military surplus firearms. I am saved by the Grace of JESUS CHRIST. I have shot competitively with black powder with the N-SSA. I hope to learn from all of you good folks and maybe offer advice or swap a good story when I am able.
