Picked up a 1930 Springfield

Lastly, I think you'll find the advisory staff and mods here are not really sarcastic or inflammatory. Some really have a great deal of knowledge and have been involved with this exact sort of thing for their whole lives...

I didn't see anything wrong with what you said.

Thanks Doug...

As I've said many times, these gun forums will never be mistaken for ladies' garden clubs. On the other hand, I do try to consider if somebody is a relative newcomer, or if they've been around for a while and know what we're like (and still like us anyway!!).

Over the last year or so that I have been dropping in and out of here I have found most members helpful friendly (to a point) and very informative and for the most part willing to share that information. I have seen a few get a tad testy when some question keep coming back to haunt them which seems to happen every 6 months or less and they seem to forget that there are newbies coming in country all the time. Some of the salts have been answering those same questions for eons and the newbies need to get their newbie cards punched. Hang in there guys on both sides and 10 years down the line if we still have the right to keep and bear arms and the internet that newbie today will probably roll his eyes when THAT question is asked again.
