Lovely wife, two boys and two girls so....

Soccer
Baseball
Teeball
Softball
Football
Dance
Horse riding lessons
:shock:

In all of my spare time I bike to stay only semi-portly. To keep my sanity I fly RC planes and helis.

Also picked up RC cars as the boys want to learn how to fly and I think learning right from left in RC is better done on the ground.

And of course I chase vintage aircraft at airshows and museums.

AND, I spend way too much time here :D

Z, if you think the Krag has gotten expensive check the price on the following; 861-63 Springfield, Sharps, Spencer, 1873-84 carbine, or a real Krag carbine. It will make the old Krag rifle look like bargain basement prices ! :D

Since this has become a gun show, I'll post a couple of my toys. This isn't the whole family, and unfortunately I'm in the UK and my collection is in storage in the states, so this will have to do in the absence of some actual artsy photography...

Two CMP Service Grade Springfield M1 Garands. One born in 1944 and the other in 1955.

An Inland M1 Carbine (six digit serial number)

CMP Springfield M1903

CMP Remington M1903A3

Zastava 59/66 (Yugo SKS)
