Shooter

Tomathvl · 01-26-2008, 09:44 AM

Here's a shooter I had built up. Grips and barrel by Hugh Clark, Rust blue, fire blue and straw by Ken Karsted. If anyone is interested in getting work done by Ken his number is 847-234-0441, he lives in Lake Forest, IL. He's been doing restorations for 40 years. He also does Mausers,Walthers and others. I believe everyone knows how to contact Hugh.

You can't just copy and paste into the posting. You have to upload, it can be tricky at first.

You have the "path" down right, now you just need to upload those same pictures

OK Ed I got that but what's the next step to display on forum. What subject in your link explains the process?????
Thanks, Tom

Ron Smith · 01-26-2008, 10:03 AM

Ed,

Tom's an old Submariner..., you know, that lack of sunshine and oxygen thing... just humor him and he'll be okay...

Tom,

Put [img] in front, and [/img] at the end of each, with no spacing. It will be post as a photo.

Edward Tinker · 01-26-2008, 10:07 AM

Tom, somewhere there was a tutorial;
this is basic stuff, I'll try to write mroe later;

1. Look upper right corner of screen, see it says upload;

2. Do the same thing you did on finding photos

3. Say Open (that'll put picutre in the url area thingy)

4. It'll upload if small enough, then copy that link

5. If you paste the link into the new quick reply, it'll show like the link I showed you about. If you click on IMG, it will put [img] and then [ / img] on each side of the link and that makes the computer see the picture.

Ed

Edward Tinker · 01-26-2008, 10:09 AM

hey, you guys cheated and edited the pictures. Honest Ron, there was a wrong linker there

Tom, nice pretty gun there!

Ron Smith · 01-26-2008, 10:10 AM

I corrected it...

Tomathvl · 01-26-2008, 10:14 AM

It should be basic for the moderator to know where the links are?????
And Ron, aka River Rat, is a show off.
Tom
P.S. Should be a smiley face but I haven't got that down either.

not sure what that means. Just trying to help

As a moderator, I can change postings, delete postings or move them, but I can't go look for links / uploads folks have made.

Tomathvl · 01-26-2008, 10:41 AM

OK Ed and Ron I finally got it. THANKS!!!
Tom

Tomathvl · 01-26-2008, 11:09 AM

Since I'm being treated as such, I thought the new avatar was appropriate.

Ed,

Just fooling around trying to learn ins and outs of posting. I have many more important things to do but I'm in a don't want to get up out of the chair mode.

OK, I have avatar, smiley face and photo in one post.

Of course, next time I'll forget how to do it.

First Boat I was on.

First Boat trying to be serious,

Tom

Edward Tinker · 01-26-2008, 12:00 PM

I like the picture though, nice kid picture, you I would guess 30 years ago

Tomathvl · 01-26-2008, 12:19 PM

30 years is close.

Of course, I've been told that you can go to hell for lying; but with so many other reasons what's a little white lie???

Pete Ebbink · 01-26-2008, 12:51 PM

Tom.

Very nice 6" shooter. Money well spent on the refurbishments.

Tomathvl · 01-26-2008, 01:07 PM

Thanks Pete,
Probably couldn't get what I have in it but that's not why I had it put it together. My heirs have to worry about that.
Tom

Hugh · 01-28-2008, 01:46 AM

nice grips

lfid · 01-28-2008, 04:32 AM

Tom,

superb custom luger !!!

thanks for sharing the result and tips on whodunit

did you have trigger tuned ? if so , how did that turn out ?

have any before pictures ?

Bill

Tomathvl · 01-28-2008, 09:20 AM

Hugh,
You obviously hang out with Ron, river rat, Smith. Do I get a advertiser discount next time???

Bill,
No before photos, no trigger work. The gun was in very good condition except it had some type of aftermarket finish, It was olive drab in color. Looked like teflon or parkerizing. Ken removed the finish and dressed the bare barrel finish to match the gun.
