Springfield Model 187R 22 Caliber Rifle

A Springfield Model 187R came across my work bench. For those who like to detail clean and/or repair, I think it is good to have some pictures of the action on hand before disassembly commences.

Our Christmas Tree, 2011

By the look of this table, Christmas may be in the air.

THE tree is finally on the urn. The cat, Pretzel, is celebrating her first Christmas with us and is not sure what is up.

This tree was made with small pine cones among the branches.
