Welcome anyway.   It could take a lot to drag this neighborhood down.

Welcome from Wisconsin (I live in the hills, too. Maybe not as high as your's though!), now that you have introduced yourself, tell us a little more about YOU, what you like, guns, etc. pictures are always good!

Welcome Craig,

Grab a seat and some coffee.  When you are comfortable, join in a conversation.  Oh, do you still have that Cimarron Type II, the one that you dropped and got all scratched up somehow?  The boys here might like to see it.

Thanks gents!

I've been a single action nutjob since I bought my first at age 12 and am growing more and more into a blackpowder fiend. I haven't hunted with a cartridge rifle in 7yrs. I also love to smoke cigars, pound on leather, beat dead horses and poke sleeping bears.

My 1860 Richards Type II is still in good shape but I did drop my Open Top and get it all scratched up.  :-*



I have a blackpowder Colt replica or two.....







And dabble in leather work.....

Nice Leatherwork Craig.  You can post some more of your work here; http://blackpowdersmoke.com/colt/index.php?board=57.0
We have a board just for our leather stuff.
Great collection of revolvers too.  Gun leather looks best stuffed full of iron.

Thanks again guys!

I go by CraigC on a number of forums, most traffic on THR, SA.com and RugerForum. Not much on RFC any more. Had to use Craig44 on a couple because the other was taken.

Yep, that is the one, the Open Top on top of the book.  Too bad you got it scratched up.  I may send you my Richards and let you drop them, at least once or twice!

Craig, it still looks great!
