What did you get yourself for Christmas?

Our biggest gift was a trip to the eastern cape with my son, 13 yr old grandson, my son-in-law and my other 13 yr old grandson. 9 yr old granddaughters got a weekend away with beauty and the beast live theater tickets. Also got a savage .25/06 youth model to practice beforehand and for next deer season. Lots of work to do yet but excited for all.
 
I got the go ahead from the wife to gift myself the following:

A 12b Army&Navy "best", built around 1905, 30" barrels, 15" stock, with a strong 5/8" cast-off (that fits my broad frame perfectly.)
 
fixed the cylinders on my air gun and bought a compressor to fill the cylinders

I’m tempted to ask to be your wife now… :D

That’s an awesome Christmas gift!

Started Dec. 11th and still not done with my gift. A messed up shoulder and a pinched nerve in my neck. Just had an MRI this morning... yay... (I'm usually much better at gift giving)

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
