He bought the gun on the bottom of this picture today. His is a Smith & Wesson MP15. Mine on the top is a Wyndham Flat top with a
Mepro. I cleaned both after shooting and they are lubed. We made freedom ring. Loudly.  CSB I know but the days are getting few and far between. He doesn't feel so good sometimes lately. Today was a good day. |

Thanks arfom, I don't usually get all touchy feels but he had a spunk in him today that I don't think is going to occur again much in the future. Today was such a good day. We stood side by side and obliterated the target in gun fire in what seemed like a cadence. My old man and I were never the hugging sort but with his age I really wanted to. I didn't but he sat and talked to me while I cleaned his new rifle. That was nice.

Good for you man. I have really been bonding with my dad lately. He's still young. I don't know of anyone I trust more than him. Be SO HAPPY that you get to keep doing things with him. father son relationships are irreplaceable.

I can't imagine what that was like to go through at 14 years old. |
