I think it’s my turn to do a build thread. Maybe this can help someone else out, and it helps me see my progress over time.

Back in ‘89 I was a high school kid in Laramie Wy. There was an auction of a family friends homestead that was supposed to have a bunch of 03A3 Springfields and I was in the market. It turned out that every gun dealer in the area also knew and the prices were higher than I could afford.

Being young, that $500 was burning a hole in my pocket. So I bought the hammered out ranch truck instead. In hindsight, I paid too much. But that’s how it goes when you’re 17.
