FTD, very nice. Did you redo the wood? I'm redoing a OI oval cut highwood that has the A A with a Y on the left just like yours. I love the matching hand gaurd. I have to get back out to the woods will post some pics of my QHMC later. Thanks for the pics.....Frank

Since we're posting pics of QMHC's here is my find from last winter. When I saw I jumped on it.




I had better luck getting this than I had deer hunting today. But you do have to be patiant.

Three more



I saw an add in a shopper and called that night. It was about an hour away and we made an appointment for 11:00 A.M. He had someone call locally and wanted to see it that morning. He told him that I had called first so he said I could have first choice. He was gentlmen.....Frank

And the 27 notches say it's probably a good shooter....

In my experience, I've found the best background is a light colored army blanket. Pics taken outside in daylight, but not direct sunlight. Sometimes it helps to use the flash, but not directly on the subject. Taken at an angle, it enhances the color, but does not glare or wash out features. Some say red is the best background color and in many cases it looks good, but I still prefer the good ole army blanket. Besides, carbines look at home on a GI wool blanket!

Here's a sample. Its an older pic, as there are more in the family, but you get the idea.

Hey Bill, the notches are on my deer rifle. It's a Remington 788 in 7mm 08 Rem. It has a Tasco 2-7 scope. It has been my prime hunting rifle for over twenty years. I shoot lefty most of the time. I have learned to live with the bolt action. All of the notches are for deer here in central Wisconsin. Some years you get skunked, and like last year I got two, one out of a tree stand and one a buck on the jump over an open field, that I killed on the third shot. So far since Sat. our opening of "gun season" I have seen 19 deer and two small bucks but let them all go. We try to shoot only 2 1/2 year old bucks here on my place, or a big dry doe if we need the meat. It pays off in seeing big bucks and that is what makes hunting exciting for me. I'm taking today off deer hunting to catch the last day of duck season and will be back at trying to get the big buck tomorrow. Have a good one.....Frank
