Hello, INGO 
I joined back in February I think, and since then kinda forgot about the place, until I looked through my favorites list. I figured I should check back and introduce myself.
My name is Paul, and I am located in Hammond. For those of you who don't know where that is, it's up by Chicago. I'm only 17 (well, I will be 17 in 3 days) but I already have 4 firearms of my own.
The first one is a Westernfield M842A, which is Monty Wards re-branded Mossberg 346k. This is a little bolt action, tube fed .22 that my dad bought for me about 4 years ago. It's a great little gun, mine is in just about perfect condition except the front sight is snapped in half (can't seem to find a replacement). The front sight thing doesn't matter much to me, as I have a Tasco 4x20 scope sitting on top. It's a fun little gun for the $80 I spent on it.
The second firearm I own is a Marlin Mod. 990 D.U. This is a very nice Ducks Unlimited semi auto .22 (also tube fed) that I got from my Grandparents earlier this Summer. I have only shot it once, and it is a very fun .22. I just love shooting semi-auto guns, especially when the ammo is so cheap. This gun is like new as well, which I like.
The third firearm I own is also from my Grandparents, a Stevens 67 Model E 12 Gauge Pump Action shotgun. The gun is in nearly perfect condition, but the blueing on the front left half of the reciever and following 8 inches of the barrel is nearly non-existent. There isn't any pitting, but there isn't any blueing either for some reason. I have a bit of experience re-blueing some of my older bb guns, but I have never taken on an entire shotgun (as the entire barrel and receiver would need to be un-blued in order to make sure that the new blueing matches. I haven't had a chance to shoot this gun yet, as there aren't any places I know of by my house to shoot a shotty.
The fourth firearm I acquired just yesterday as a present from a neighbor. It is a Marlin 25N .22 Bolt Action rifle (Mag fed). It came with a 3-9x32 Bushnell scope mounted on it. The plate surrounding the magazine on the stock had been stripped of blueing and spray painted flat black. The paint was falling off, so I lightly sanded it down and re-blued it today.
I also have a small armory of airsoft guns (hence my name) as well as older bb and pellet guns, but I won't go into those as they are not firearms...unless you guys want me to talk about them
I've been reading through some of the other posts today, and I can't imagine how I managed to forget about this place for nearly a year. I hope to remain active from this point on and look forward to talking with all of you.
