Hello there, Ithacabuff............ haven't heard from you in years!!

Good to hear from you. Are you still out north of me where you were years ago? I am now 76 and have decided to get rid of most of my guns. So, I have one listed for sale in the market place here. I have not been to the range in three years and it is time for me to do this. I have 15 22 rifles, no other guns, and have three I refuse to sell at this time. I am doing pretty fine healthwise and have a nice retired life.

A neighbor boy I have been teaching the safety rules and shooting skills this summer stopped by today. We had our session of a few hundred rounds with a Self-loader, a pump/slide action and a bolt action.

While cleaning up he asked which safe the Model 75 went in. I told him the Model 75 was his to take home - I had already spoke to his parents.

I put on a trigger lock and gave the key (on a ring) to his mother when she came to get him. I tossed in a box of ammo.

He and mother went away HAPPY............Mother said they have a gun safe at home.

You’re a good man and mentor!

I can feel his joy.

Your generosity is sublime! Not only did you make him happy, you made all of us happy! Thanks! You’re a very good Roadrat, indeed!

I get a big kick out of doing things like that when I can afford it. Always fun to watch reactions!! Thanks for the kudos.
