Good Birthday.

Turned 52 today.

Met my dad for dinner last night at a bar/diner in a little Idaho logging town and he gave me one of his shotguns for a present.

I had always admired the Ruger Red Label shotguns when I was working in his gun shop as a kid, and the one he gave me was customized with an English walnut straight stock, extra engraving, and blackened stainless receiver. It shows honest wear as it has taken countless pheasants.

It fits me perfectly and swings very nicely.

Happy birthday! [smilie=p:

Very nice.

Beautiful figure in that wood! Thats a great gift! Happy Birthday to you too!

B-E-A-Utiful!!!

That wood looks like the quality that would cost as much today as the Red Label did back when ! Congrats,AND TRY TO avoid falling with it...

Way cool.
A shotgun like that,,, I don't think I'd let anybody touch it, or take it out of the house.


Enjoy them old folks while ya can.
They'll be gone way too soon.

And my girlfriend just gave me a really cool wristwatch that is made out of wood...

Wearing it now as she is taking me wine tasting, then to dinner at the fanciest place in town. She is really, really trying her best to get me to pop the question.

They showed those on the 'How its Made ' show. Fascinating to watch them being built.

Happy Birthday, young man! Enjoy your loved ones- and the secondary gifts as well!

My brother's birthday was yesterday the 14th and mine is today the 15th. I got a new cast iron pot to smelt lead in, 2 ar15 M1 style butt stocks, and a jar of peach slices can in moonshine. I am going to watch friends mill ar lowers tomorrow the peach slices my not make it home from there.

Very nice and Happy Birthday. Go ahead and ask her. I'm 60 and not doing that again after 30 years but hey, everyone is different. Good luck!
