Thanks to those that left replies.
I'm doing much better. Getting around slowly, but taking it easy.
Just for the record............
I passed out with a barreled receiver in hand.
Worst of it was dropping the TV remote and having to watch Soaps for a few hours until help arrived.
LOL

We wouldn't expect any less of you, Charlie! Hope you didn't beat the horse with it though :nono:, wouldn't want to damage a good BR!
Glad you're back, it seems you were missed by all.
Glad to see you back Charlie.
I had you in my calendar today.
Happy Birthday :beerchug:
Welcome back! The first few days I was home after surgery, I kept the remote in my sling so I wouldn't get stuck watching soaps! Take it easy. In the real world, horse vs. human, we almost always loose.....
Charlie, Glad to see you back at the keyboard.
Now, there are several important questions that need to be answered (only because Tiger Woods is unavailable to get interviewed)....
1) what was the manufacture of the receiver?
2) was the barrel correct for the receiver's manufacture date?
3) why did you chose a barreled receiver instead of a stock? (glad I don't want to ask a grown man why he was holding onto wood in the bed)
4) Did you actually drive the horse into a fire hydrant before or after your wife caught you with a barreled receiver in bed?
5) We have the serial numbers of 10 barreled receivers that claim to have recorded voice and text messages from you - do you care to comment?
Seriously... Life is God's gift to us all. Your survival and recovery will undoubtedly be an enjoyable Christmas gift to your family and your many caring friends. May continue to recover quickly, smoothly and full of appreciation of the good things in life.
Happy birthday and get well soon, my friend....
I've lead that horse in for about 2 years, twice a day. He's the King of the hill here. Thus he's lead in first. Always walks on your rightside. You also have to bring his play buddy, the Quarter horse in at the same time on your left. Never had a problem until this particular time. When that shot rang out he went crazy. I knew that you never wrap the end of the lead line around your hand. Big Will was pulled off the 1 1/2 mile race tracks and trained for Dressage. He and my Daughter have won many awards including ranking in the Nationals a number of times. We board up to 56 head. Looks like I'll be leading in the minatures for a while ;-).
I'm really lucky he prefers to be on your rightside when going out or back in. Had he been on my left I may have been kicked in the heart. Just really glad it's over. They had me so doped up I could barely hold my head up. It was a real treat when I was able to get up and see the carbines in my display.
The Barreled receiver I had was one of the IBM's I've been trying to study.
This receiver is a 3,849,505 but has a no date Blue Sky barrel on it.
Figured when I could get back here I'd start off where I left off.......Trying to figure out which style P vs. P was correct for it. The wife took it away from me because I was getting #9 on the sheets.
I've said it before and I'll say it again......You just can't find a better bunch of guys than we have here. God bless all of you. Looks like I'll miss most of the muzzle loader season here, but I'm just happy to be here.
Thanks again
Charlie
Happy Birthday Charlie! :cheers: Welcome back!:thup:
Regards
Gunner
Happy Birthday Charlie.
Great to see you back.
Best Regards,
Denny
Ooops, Happy Birthday! HOW OLD, 29 AND HOLDING?
Happy Birthday Charlie! Nice to see you home and among your loved ones and carbines.
Hope your recovery is a fast one. Will look forward to your ever interesting contributions and pithy comments.
Best regards,
John
Happy birthday and Merry Christmas, you old devil. I want to try that horse out as kicker for the Redskins - he would probably beat the guys we've been using. Naw, just ribbing ya - bada-bing! But seriously, folks, I'm sure it hurts Charlie to laugh, so we should just stop with the jokes already - you know, before he 'cracks up'! bada-bing! Wow, I got a million of these - and I'd trade them all for one good one!
Happy Birthday Charlie ... :super:
It's great to have up and around again ... :cheers:
Stay away from those freakin 1400 pound critters for awhile please ... :lol:
Regards,
Doug (Badger)
Hey Charlie,
Today is also my wife's birthday. And ironically, she also had a bout with a horse - when a teenager, however. She didn't get kicked, but the horse ran too close down a fence line and she smashed her knee on a post. With surgery and a lot of therapy, she has done pretty good since, but still bothers her.
Hopefully, you won't have any lasting effects. We're pulling for you.
Take care. Good to have you back online.
Reed
Don’t know what is worse, a horse, a boat or maybe a motorcycle. I have heard a boat and a horse have a lot in common when it comes to cost. A motorcycle and a horse will hurt and possibly kill you. Nah I am wrong, we do all these things to ourselves and most of the times enjoy it. Glad to see you back.
Bill
p.s. happy birthday
Remember, it's not that any of us are any older than the rest, it's just that some of us got here before others. Glad you are OK Charlie. Can't imagine life on the carbine forum without you. Hope you have a very nice special day.
David
Charlie, I just got home from work. I've been waitng for the time you would be back. Happy B-DAY and take your time getting back up to speed.....Frank
Welcome back, Charlie! Great to see you back on the boards :D
Maybe we should all chip-in and a get Charlie a battle-rig lanyard for the remote, so he won't lose it again. :super:
You're a better man than I, sir: if I had dropped the remote and had to sit through even just 20 minutes of soap operas, I feel that the TV (and any solid object within reach) would have had an "accidental collision". :D
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Birthday, Charlie!
Glad to see you're on the mend.
Phil
You share your birthday with my oldest grand-daughter, so maybe that makes up for it also being Rock's BD as well. Glad to hear you're doing better!
Glad to hear your on the mend, you were in my prayers buddy.My girlfriend wants a horse after all the talk on here I decided on the one in the pic.

Somehow I don't think Edye is gonna go for that....
The rest of us would rest easier, but I don't think it's gonna happen.
Phil
It's about time you stopped playing possum and got your lazy butt out of bed Charlie!
Edye told me she's been trying to get you up all week so you'd go back and replace the horseshoe you bent with your ribs. :lol:
Seriously, take it easy buddy, and don't start horsing around too much!
* INLAND44 sold me that one!- (badda bing!) ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Charlie!
Umm, isn't this the half century mark for you? :ugh:
Jim got with me earlier this week and I sent you a birthday/'get well' gift.
I hoped you'd get it today, but if not it should be there Monday or so.
You know how my financial situation is now, so don't be disappointed that I had to give you a homemade craft gift OK? It's the idea that counts.
Welcome back Charlie.
Charlie, Ditto on the Welcome Back and Happy Birthday. Warm regards- Jim.
ok, three pages of get well and birthday wishes... great.... now will someone please get that bum out of the bed, rip the barreled receiver he sleeps with out of this hands and kick his lazy butt back into the shop???? I want to see pics of refinished carbine stocks!!!!!
P.S. I don't have guts (or the strength) to do it myself....
Welcome back Charlie. Glad to see that you're doing better.
Good to see you back again. I'm sort of getting back here after a long absence myself... had BRD:)
It's good to see you back too LeagleEagle!
I don't have either one, but a horse has got to be worse than a motorcycle; while it's true that both can kill you, at least the motorcycle doesn't think about trying it. :lol:Quote:

I think bikes scare me the most. Boy I have lost some friends, and almost lost alot more.
I have one fast Mustang though, for when I'm not chasing down carbines and shootin matches.
You now have to tell us about your Mustang Curt.
I had a white 1970 Mach-I with 351 Cleveland that I bought from the original owner. It was owned by an older woman and had low miles on it. She kept it garaged and the original paint and body were perfect.
My father and I only bolted on a Holly carb, Edelbrock manifold and hooker headers, but it was fast enough to scare me at times.
I loaned it to a friend and he totaled it. :crying:
He didn't get a scratch though, just killed my Mustang.
I had a 1966 Mustang that was painted British Racing Green back in 1979. It was a bottom end one that had the 6 cylinder, manual brakes and manual steering. Looked cool, but drove like a tank. SOld it for a 4x4 truck.
Happy birthday Charlie and glad you are back and getting better. Now how are you going to explain that rare horse shoe inspection stamp on that receiver ?
Glad you are back and OK, Charlie.
I was concerned about your outcome. Being an owner of horses, I know the damage they can do when scared.
I hope the horse is calm now and I am sure the two of you will continue with a good relationship.
For those not familiar with horses, most are Ok around gun shots, but some will react in a very active manner and panic. Many different types of injuries can occur if you are around when it happens.
We have a small herd of horses ourselves. One of ours is a old cowboy action horse and he will walk right up to you while shooting, most are indifferent and just walk away. As Bill said, some go totally crazy are run, buck, and generally just lose their mind. My shooting range is a gap between two pastures, so they have to deal with it one way or the other.
Dave
A 1966 and a 1970 Mach 1!!!!!!!!! :bow:Quote:

List goes on and on.It was ordered A/C delete and is badged as a police interceptor like the Crown Vics, I don't know if that is factory or not. It formerly had a Kenne Belle super charger and injection, yes it fit under that hood. After tearing the rear end loose,breaking the driveshaft and a couple transmissions that was enough of that. Next toy will be 67 Camaro or Chevelle.https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...DSC05831-1.jpg
