Hello from NY (not the city!)

Name's Joe..

I live about smack in the middle of NYS about halfway between Syracuse and Utica.

Only have 2 'Chesters at this point, but I hope to improve on that over time. They are a new M70 SG in 338WM I bought last November. And a M94 Big Bore in 375 Winchester I bought in January. The 94 was claimed to be unfired, but it matters not at this point because I fired it! :)

Next 'Chester on my "want list" is a new m92 in 44 mag. (where's that drooling icon....)

Like to add a couple more m70's and a m54... These are long term goals.. ;)

My interests other than "W's" are Smith and Wesson revolvers (have several) and old Honda ATC's (3-wheelers).. Have several of those too. Really into the 250r's, 350x and 200x. I love rebuilding them and modifying them. I have a pair of '85 250r's and one of them is built with an ESR 350 big bore top end with plenty of other supporting mods. To say it's fast is an understatement...

Anyway, there is a little about me... Looking forward to being part of this Winchester community.

Howdy Joe.....welcome to the herd.

I remember the 3 wheelers as medical first responder. They were unforgiving to those dumb enough to attempt fast turns.

I have 1 S&W. Model 10-5 of 1973 unfired .38 Special with 4" pinned barrel.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah, you can turn em fast.. but you have to know what you are doing. They are a machine all their own and demand a different skill set than a bike or quad.

Well, I don't have very good pics of my Winchesters yet. I am waiting for spring/summer to hit so I can get some good outdoor pics.

But I'll give you what I have so far.... Bear with me..

Here is my 94 BB

Thank ya Sir. :)

I'll swing in there and check it out. To be completely honest, I have not yet fully explored the whole page here and was not aware there is a dedicated handgun section.

Would you prefer I remove the Smith pics from this thread and post them up over there?

No big deal...the ones up top can stay.

Just wanted to make you aware there are dedicated threads for most manufacturers...and if you don't find one listed, you can start one.

Enjoy the forum !!

Hello again Joe. Thanks for sharing your holdings.

I am making a web page with all my holdings. Adding photos as I feel the motivation. Everybody can view and I don't need to take bandwidth here with photos.
