Sgt Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hey guys-- I finally got some stuff together and put together my web site. It still loads a little slow in places. It is a pure shame that there is such a tradeoff in quality of the photos for loading speed. Hope you still enjoy. http://home.comcast.net/~ralfdog/Savage/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Very nice web site and of course a neat gun!!! The rear grip appears to have a lot of figure in the wood. Any ordnance or manufacturing marks on the top of the rear grip (where it fits the metal) or the butt stock? Thanks for sharing. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balder Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Sgt, Congrats on a very nice gun and webpage! I particularly liked the pics from your father's military service. As well as a Savage M1928 I also have a Vickers, an Australian Lithgow from 1942 (live). Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Sgt. Outstanding! Very nice pics, and a beautiful Thompson (NICE WOOD!). I like the Pic of the Thompson on the chair. I can only guess who left that medical bag there!! I too, also enjoyed your tribute page. Very nice Sgt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Thanks guys for the comments. Yea, I enjoyed getting those pictures out of the closet and looking at them again. I often wonder about my dad's friends in the the photos and if they made it though the war. Dan, I'll look at the grip tonight and see if there are markings. I don't recall seeing any, but maybe I overlooked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Sgt, Nice pictures and website. Glad you finally got your gun, it's a nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN.Frank Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Nice web page. I really like the '28 with the Horizontal forearm better then with the Vertical, makes it look more "military". So where abouts in E.TN. do you live? I'm in Crossville and I've got family in Harriman. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail if ya' want to talk about your new "baby". I'm really thinking about doing something "Class III" even if it's just making my '27 into a SBR. Anyway, talk to ya' later. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimFromFL Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Outstanding site. Nice wood on the Thompson. That lady is very pretty.

Sgt Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Jim-- You're right about that. She's still a little sensitive; she just came out of the closet. Incidentally, some of these days, I'd like to acquire an articulated mannequin. I need something that could make a good display for British gear, to set up with my Vickers.

M1tommygun Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Nice website. You did a bang up job on it. You ougt to try to add some short movies on it of you shooting you '28. Heck, I am in Western NC, probably 30 to 40 min from the Tenn. border. I still get tickled seeing the border sign stating the home state of Al Gore. They forgot to put on it that he did not carry Tenn in the last presidential election http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif .

sten guy Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Just got back from the range. Sgt. let me shoot his thompson.. A lot of fun dumping a 50 rd. magazine. Thanks Sgt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Guys, again, thanks for all your great comments and helping me to celebrate this moment in my life. Yea, Sten Guy and I did some serious drum dumping. I know one thing, I'm totally hooked on the Thompson SMG. That is such a rush, I just can't describe it. Thanks a bunch, for your assistance, Sten! The first time on FA, I wasn't very good at keeping the muzzle down. I took some good whacks out of the range ceiling. It was snowing white stuff for a good minute afterwards. I hate screwing up like that. We had some feeding problems, but we suspect it was caused by bad ammo. When we switched to Sten Guy's ammo, everything worked great. Incidentally, after taking it apart for cleaning, I can now answer Dan's earlier question about rear grip markings. There is indeed a marking at the top of the rear grip. It is the capital letter "D" firmly engraved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Smoker-- Thanks for the good words. I still draw lots of strength from those early times. Many of my hometown family and friends are now gone, but their deeds and guidance are ever clear. Yea, wished the lady in the picture was real, but I probably couldn't afford the Savage if she was.
