New member in Arkansas

[RobAR]

Hello all. New guy here from Arkansas where the Bowie is the State Knife and the shotgun, the State Firearm.

I just found this site about a month ago and have perused it almost daily. I look forward to trading info and ideas with you all.

I received my first 'real' firearm for my 10th b-day, in 1975. An 870 12 ga, vent-ribbed Wingmaster. I still have it.
She's been taken great care of and I cut her pressed checkering when I attended gunsmithing school in Tishamingo, OK.
She has two Express siblings, also!

Hope to talk to you soon!

Texas, thanks for the welcome. I'll try to get some pics up soon!

An 870 was my first real firearm, too. But I was 13, and it was so front heavy that I held the exposed mag tube. You must have been a big boy to handle a 12ga 870 at 10yr old!

What part of Arkansas? I have family in Prairie County. I like it down there.
