I don't expect others to take my ten lessons as advise or even to heed them myself. But you have been warned. I love buying, shooting and tinkering with guns of all types. I have pump guns, semi autos, single barrel, double barrel, O/U and even a bolt action goose gun. I use most of them. I love them all. I load everything from 10 to .410 just so I can shoot more often.

Projects better be a labor of love or they become a hated thing that just drags on forever. Guns are like popcorn to me. One never is enough. So enjoy them like I do just go into it with both eyes open and a full checkbook.
