Killin Time

[FrankG]

Thought I'd share some photos of my mis spent youth I come across until I get back to work in shop. These first ones are of my old shop at the house we had in early '80s.
When I wasnt at work I was quite busy in shop building front stuffers .



Heres where it started mid to late '70s ,top my first shoot with borrowed gun( CVA Mt. rifle sear broke at fouling shot  ) and my little 36 H&A  Minuteman took 1st at Turkey Shoot


Mid '80s again at Redding Ca. Rondy , 1st day rainin cats-n-dogs , then turned to 80 deg! In April ! I got my 4 -1/2 second fire and danged near lost my chin whiskers doin it.Picture was taken at first puff of smoke and before wife could rewind for another shot it burst in flames and everyone was laughin about me almost burnin by beard off !!
The Injun there was gonna scalp my son

     A twig would be all you'd need to hold what I have left.  Started shaving what was left of the fuzz off and putting the money saved from haircuts into a can.  Had enough recently for a GM barrel to put in an old T/C stock & lock (and that was only about a year's worth) .
