That's My Boy

**kyratshooter** · 03-22-2015, 12:00 PM

My son just sent a picture of his new Lee Turret Press.

Complete set up with auto disk powder measure, auto prime set up, dies in .45acp. Also had a Lee Scale and extra turret disk and he already had a set of .45 dies.

He got it on an ebay auction real cheap.

Then he turned around and listed the scale, extra turret and dies for sale and got enough to pay for the kit out of them!

That's my boy!!

NICE!

i dont know what equipment and such you are talking about, but i understand a good deal and profit...
obviously your son understands both.
like hunter said, you taught him well!

Of course he was taught well, he learned from a genius!

He's so much like his dear old Dad it brings a tear to my eye.

He also brightened my week by informing me that he had retired his Karr 9mm carry gun and replaced it with...dare I say it...a 1911!

It touched me so deeply that I tore the ivory grips off one of my favorites and sent them to him. A fellow does have to keep up appearances, even in EDC hardware.

Congrats. Ya both done good.

Utoh. It has been my experience that when a kid does well it is usually followed up with you paying for something. Hide the check book.

Well, Rick...that seems to be mostly daughters.......The "Daaaaad, can I.....?" is the give-a-way.
Reach for your wallet.....LOL

when they start with"how much do ya love me" its just as well reach for the wallet. Ask me how i know this ??

**hunter63** · 03-22-2015, 09:12 PM

We know....We know.....

That is great KyRat! He will be pleased with what he got.

As far as the daughters going for dads wallet, well, I believe that has to be a born female trait. My girl just turned seven and has been doing it for the last three years...... That I am aware of! She also has the natural born tendency to get me to do things for her without even realizing it. Sure do love her though!

So glad for you and him. Especially that he is now using a big boy firearm.
