If owd Lowell, with the help of his wife can post pictures, why can't you?
Are your guns/rifles -
Too rare, and valuable to be shown on the net?
Maybe, they're not all their cracked-up to be?

Some members, the most critical of the lot, never post pics of their guns.
Do you ever wonder why????????????????

Lowell, just because someone showed you how to post doesn't mean that everyone a. has time, b. has a camera, c. wants to, d. cares.

Come on Mike, I've been posting pictures for years. My out-dated Olympus Camedia proves it.
This is the internet digital nation, and there are no reasons not to.

Lowell, I've posted quite a few myself. I'm just saying that it's real hard just to get some of these good folks on the computer let alone posting pics.

I've posted quit a few myself Mr.Lowell could I see a close up of the Beesly barrels ?....since you're in a picture posting mood.

I refuse to turn on my cell phone. If I want to talk to anyone I will call them. Photography has no ever been of interest to me. I tried it years ago, tried it again about five years ago when digital took over and still just do not care to take photos. In fact I would rather load a box of shell on a 600 Jr..

I gave all my cameras to my wife and kids and they are happy. Thank God for digital because if they had been shooting film we have big $ in ugly pictures of crap I do not care about. Now every thing is burned onto disc and stored for life.

Is this one of those "show me yours, I'll show you mine" kind of invitations?

Thorny,
Some years past, I was in magazine photographer/writer mode, and bought some cameras that were not digital, and not 35mm.

I don't have much to write about anymore, and the only camera I own is a lowly Cannon TX, 1970 vintage, purchased used from the St. Paul school system, and "hot rodded" if you will, with a later model Cannon 1.4 AE lense, which doesn't work in automatic mode, of course, but still gives up crisp, color saturated photos.

When everything was said and done, every picture I ever sold to a magazine came out of that little camera. Several photos appeared in articles by others (including our own Larry Brown) and nobody complained.

Since I'm just getting the whole film thing figured out, I'm hesitant to move to digital, same as folks were hesitant to move from black powder to smokeless. I'll be dragged kicking and screaming, someday, but, not today.

And you have already seen my Tobin, anyway.
Best,
Ted

Knowing what a Francophile you are, here's a picture of the buttstock on my Manufrance Robust. I'll take some pictures tomorrow when the sun comes out again, just for you .


Steve

doc, the way things are here, you'll have to show me the whole gun
Who knows, you might just be an owner of nothing more than a French butt stock.
