Thank you, Ridgewalker!!! That looks like the same flower arrangement that Outpost Armory, in Murfreesboro has on display.

[Ridgewalker (Liberty Lover)]

Probably is! I hijacked it ages ago lol. Been a while since I was in Murfreesboro, about four years or so. Maybe I’ll stop in there and see if I can find where to get one.

Where did you go to school for gunsmithing?

[FAL (Buddy)]

6un5_4r3_N347, I’ve never been to school to learn gunsmithing. I learned to work on firearms from some of my kinfolks, and a friend’s dad, and the rest I learned on my own. I always tell people that I’m in a continuing education program, because I never stop learning something new, and I’ve been doing this for over 50 years. The first gun I worked on was the BB gun my granddad gave my dad when he was 10. It was an old break-action Daisy that my dad got when he was 5, in 1946. My dad gave it to me in 1970, when I was 6. It had sat in my parent’s closet for about 10 years or so, and not only had the piston dried up and shrunk, but it was covered in surface rust. I got home from school one afternoon, determined to make that BB gun work again, and I tore it down. I figured out what was wrong with it, repaired it and scrubbed the rust off with a piece of oil soaked steel wool, and by the weekend, it was shooting good as new. From that point, I was hooked, and I’ve been working on firearms ever since.
