New member introductions?

Is this where new members introduce themselves? If not please move this post to it's proper place. I just joined this forum a few days ago and am an semi-retired gunsmith/armorer/custom rifle builder and dad & grandad with 27+ years experience. I've been NRA & state certified shooting instructor for years,and ex competition shooter in several disiplines. I joined to help people and am NOT here to "try to drum up business". In fact, I have an never ending backlog of up to 6 months. The reason I'm able to sit here sometimes online is due to my back problems when I don't feel like working. I've had 6 back surgerys and have an morphine pump permanently implanted in my back.

Welcome to Guntalk-Online Stalkingbear!

Like you I've been doing this for a bunch of years. I'm sure that you can help fill in the gaps that I have when answering the membership's questions. I've been building custom pistols for nearly twenty years and I fully understand how backlogs go. Demand is always very high and I have more requests for firearms than I can possibly fill. I won't sacrifice quality for quantity so I stay small.

Back issues come with the territory but mine isn't quite as bad off as yours, at least my last MRI didn't show any further degradation from the previous one. My partner had several vertebrae fused and had to leave the business, which has put me even further behind on filling my orders.

Welcome again.

And my only problem is being and Olde Pharte. some days I got more joints hurting than I think I got joints. I did get to the range for a while, Bear and I were shooting the new Henry, not a bad shooter either.

I know what you mean. Yesterday I finally made it out to the range for the first time this year. Did I mention it has been a busy year for me so far? I got to get out more.

Got there yesterday and today again, the weather is finally not windy and way below freezing, besides Ma has been feeling better lately. The winter has bee rough this year, the cold was really angry or maybe old age makes it seem that way. Ma has had problem in the last few years dealing with depression and it really tells on this old man. Doing all of the housework plus taking care of Ma and all the other stuff would wear a young man out much less an olde one. Range is only 7-1/2 miles from home and usually empty in the early afternoon, get out and do a half hour or so and have a great time. Shot my new Henry a bit with a scope today, yesterday shot it with the HiViz off one of my Ruger pistols and it works pretty good.

I didn't see that user name as I searched the member list. I thought you had an account before but I couldn't find it or any username close to it. I was pretty sure that around the same time I registered for one of your forums you registered here.
