Please take your own pace and speed here; there is no quota system per se; and feel free to roam all the forums and also the archives as to get an idea of things that are talked about.
Sure hope you will make available some of your knowledge and background with Cvil War era firearms.
It would be deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Mike,
Good to have you aboard. I lived for many years in Crofton, MD - miss those days.
