JLF 0 Posted June 25, 2013 Some people have cottoned on to me and I suppose I will feel it better to have it out there. My father 'DLF' on here passed away suddenly two weeks ago. He introduced me to this forum and firearms and was so proud that I had taken an interest in one of his hobbies... The last thing he ever bought for me was my Marlin 795ss, its currently sitting with our wonderful FFL and I can't wait to pick it up. So if I've been asking some really noob questions lately bare with me because now I'm starting back at square one because the man who was supposed to teach me all of this is gone forever. RIP SGT. Veteran Relief Commander of the Tomb Guard in Arlington National Cemetery... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Jack, this topic was still really hard to make but I figured I should just rip the band aid off quickly... I will feel less agitated once that Marlin is home with me...
