First of all, thank you for having me! My name is Tom Watkins, I reside in NE Ohio in the small village of Leetonia. Professionally I am a mechanical engineer and own my own CNC machine shop making precision parts for other companies but also make tooling to support USGI firearm collectors / gunsmiths. I'm a realative newcomer to this hobby and, like all my interest, I jumped in with both feet. Along with USGI firearm collecting (small but growing collection) I am a living historian with the 29th INF LHG, I actively jump out of C-47 aircraft with the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team and tinker with WWII vehcles (I have a 1941 Dodge WC-3 weapons carrier I just restored). To say I'm passionate about the hobby (my wife says obsessed) is probably an understatement.

My current carbine collection consists of a really nice and mostly correct Underwood. I'm in the process of acquiring a 2nd run M1A1that looks to be the real deal; the acquisition is very exciting but scares the heck out of me at the same time. As soon as I figure out posting photos I'll do so with the hopes the experts here might help guide me.

That's all for now. Thanks again for having me.

Welcome, I'm from Ohio myself (Dayton area), but currently overseas. Anyway, I think you'll fit in here!

Also, I may just happen to be in the market for some gun parts for some projects if you ever want to make a buck... Smile

Welcome to the board, R6T8net,

For this website, on my Mac I use iResize for photos to allow them to be uploaded. When I need a full strength image, I upload it to my server, and use the photo link feature.

allend, so I see you are a base player.  When I'm not playing with the Carbine, I play guitar and sing in a local band.

I only have 1 carbine receiver is SAGINAW. Thats the only SAGINAW part on the rifle. Rest is inland with winchester barrel.  My youngest boy is 24 and he was not born when I last   shot it. The base guitar no clue where it came from. I gave up on guitars  45 years ago. I use to  go to guilford the casuway. 
May want to shoot it again.

Welcome!! I'm a relatively new member as well. Good luck with the M1A1. I got some great advice from the guys here concerning cracks on my M1A1 stock. It's currently out for repairs and I'll post pictures of the fix when I get it back in a couple weeks.
