Just wanted to say a quick hello from TN. I have browsed this forum off an on now and then but never registered. I recently decided to sell off one of my lever action Marlins and felt like the membership here would be a good fit.
A little bit about me. I am a gun guy and a car guy. Basically if it has buttons or levers and makes noise I probably enjoy it. I have taken a odd path as a shooter vs. most folks. The first gun I remember shooting was an M16 as kid, semi at first and full auto a bit later. Having class III family members meant I had access to shoot a fair number of machine guns growing up. The odd thing about that is I reached a point where to me it was money into noise fast. Not that they cannot be fun but for me I have continuously seemed to get smaller and smaller in terms of my shooting instead of the opposite.
As an example I really enjoy a good bolt action rimfire and have a real penchant for mid to high end airguns as well. From machine guns to air guns. Strange trip.
I have owned or shot damn near everything under the sun. As I get a bit older I am finding that I really don't like shooting lever guns as much as my mind wants me to. I love the nostagia, I LOVE the appearance, the feel the handling......but I have found I just don't enjoy shooting the action type as much as others, hence the sale. I mean they are guns with a bang switch so the experience with them certainly doesn't stink.
Other than that I have I think for Porsche's.
So between guns and Porsches I keep telling myself that one day I will get a cheaper hobby......like hookers and heroin.
Anyway that is a little bit about me. I pretty much go by Cslinger on most forums and like most folks go through periods of posting and periods of not.
So howdy everybody.
Take care and shoot Safe,
Chris
