Hello all!
A few of you have already welcomed Gradywhite and myself onto TreasureNet and I thank you. I guess it only fitting that I post a few pics and tell ya a little about myself.

I was born and raised here in Charleston, am a single parent of a wonderful little girl who just turned 9, and love to do anything outdoors. ie: Surf fishing, surfing, metal detecting, ect.......
Myself and a few others here also build and collect Kalashnikovs, and we try to have at least 2 get togethers(shoots) a year. I'm a member of at least 8 gun related forums and am a Moderator on 2 AK-47 sites.

That's about it for now, heres a pic or two,,,,,or three.

My buddy didn't think that I'd post this pic of me shooting his wifes pink AR.

I'm also right in the middle of a custom chopper build. She's a rigid frame with 50 degrees of rake sitting on a 330mm rear tire. Shouldn't be long now, maybe another month or two.

Hahaha no doubt!
All of my black rifles are all,,,,,,well black!

I'm waiting on Grady to show up on this thread as a good chunk of those rifles are his. If I'm not mistaken some people had already left by the time that shot was taken, and thats what was left with just four of us there.

 

[gradywhite]

HOLY SMOKES I didnt get to make that shoot to see the pink P-shooter. That is very different!!!!
I can only lay claim to 6 guns on the right side. Actually that was taken before everyone left. I remember the other people at the range commenting on the amount of guns around the table and asking if they could also take pics. IIRC there were 9 of us.

Since I have been home today 90% of my time has been on here instead of other boards. I have enjoyed it so much I tryed out the charter membership and LOVE the search function.

welcome aboard 75_stingray.
you may attract unwanted attention by posting that amount of arms on the Net.
Just a thought.

[75_stingray]

Thanks for the welcome guy's.
Getting around pretty good now w/the search funtion Grady? I will have to pony-up and slip a little donation TN's way, I like this site myself.

 

[Spitfire Reddie]

Yes Sir, born and raised on the banks of the Ashley River.

Will do River Rat. All welds have been smoothed and ready for paint, then we'll begin assembly. I'm running a 120ci fully pollished El Bruto w/130hp @ the rear wheel.

Welcome, and great stuff, Stingray! Can't wait to see that bike when it is done.
That is quite a pile of AKs! I just saw an upgrade/ repair kit for Krink AK YUGOs in Sportsman's Guide catalog- everything but the reciever for $600. My only gun is a bit slower- 3 shots/ min if you're fast...

 

[75_stingray]

Rat, thats kind of high for a Yugo krink. Centerfire Systems have virgin Yugo krink parts kits for $399.97, and if you look around you may find one even cheaper. Better get'em while you can! http://www.centerfiresystems.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=845
Thank you for the welcome!

Welcome fellow gun nut! I have a collection of WWI and WWII bolt action rifles. Got into metal detecting and have kinda' got away from shooting as much. I use to shoot military bolt action matches and was pretty competative before my vision started to fail me. Good to have you aboard. Monty

 

[75_stingray]

Thank you Monty, I'm happy to be here!
This MT'ing bug has seemed to hit me hard. I've found myself on this site reading up a storm as of late, pretty much only popping in to the gun forums once in a while to see how everyones doing.

I was lucky to have started building my own guns during a time when you could get AMD-65 parts kits for $69, Romanians for $89 and most other variants for about the same. Now that I've just about got every variant that I wanted, and the price of de-milled parts kits have gone sky high due to the BATF foreign made barrel ban, it seems to be a good time to move on.

Its nice to see others here who enjoy firearms!

Nice bike!!!

 

[EDDE]

gun nut here maybe drop you a line on a few ideas i have

 

[shreddah]

a man isnt a man unless hes comfortable with the color pink in all aspects.
