The year I turned 70 I started to have eyesight problems, along with my spinal issues. As such I knew my days of taking recoil was gone unless I enjoyed the pain. Then my son's family came for Thanksgiving I gave them what I knew I could no longer enjoy. To my 18 yo grandson I gave my Ruger pre warning Super Blackhawk and Remington 700/30-06. To my son was my 870 and .357 Blackhawk.
I showed my grandson several cans of ammo and I said that I would give him a can each time I saw him but, I wanted the cans back with the spent brass.
My son gifted me with my A1 and that I can shoot comfortably and somewhat economically. Back in the early 70's I bought an SP1 and a bunch of G.I. brass dating to the early 60's. I still have much of this brass in my stash along with ball of that time frame.
What brought you to the AR?
