I came to appreciate firearms in my early 20's. I went shooting with a friend and after firing his dad's Army 1911, I was hooked. I obtained a permit and purchased my first firearm - a Ruger Mark II. It was always a thrill heading down to the range on my day off with hundreds, if not a thousand rounds, to practice, relax and enjoy. Plink. Plink. Plink. As I became more involved in shooting, reloading, and collecting, and as I watched my son's firearm interest, skills and knowledge expand, the urge to become a home-based FFL grew. I've developed a local clientele which values having an honest, trustworthy, friendly dealer they can count on. I truly enjoy the conversations, relationships and the 'neighborly feel' of doing business.
I'm a vintage guy. There is something downright beautiful about a 75-100+ year old firearm that works just as well as it did when first shot. My tastes are eclectic though I do have some staples:
1911s
.45 ACP, though .38 Super and 10mm are respectable options. If you have one outside those calibers, I won't judge....too much.
Vintage .22 Rifles
All of them. Winchester, Mossberg, Savage, JC Higgins, Marlin, and any others made in the mid/late 1800s through the 1950s.
Anything Military.
1911s, 03/A3s, 30 Carbines, Garands, Lugers, Mausers, P38s, the list goes on..
The Old & The Odd.
It's a thrill coming across a firearm you didn't know existed, whether rare or uncommon. I enjoy the research and learning about their history.
