[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2299592, member: 17889"] Love your "...9, 5 and 4...: tale. Thanks, for sharing. You are proud of what you have done with little. Probably have your own form of fetish which you squander upon which others would question. It's just not pricey builds. Some enjoy their 300m impacts with .22LR. Others at 2K with .416 Barrett. :) :) :) You get the pleasure of another man's pricey builds in the form of not being pricey. Admire you there!!!! Brings back pleasant memories of my Dad.
