Getting your kids involved

[SmokeEaterPilot]

Haven't posted anything in a while. But my kids are taking a liking to collecting. Since their generation and many others are glued to their phones, I figure work with it, rather than against it.
I let my kids get involved with taking pictures on their phones and they can play around with editing. Iphones have some wonderful stock editing software.
I have a bunch of boxes with accessories and equipment that they can use and build whatever layout they want. I had the light boxes up but didn't spend much time actually setting the lighting, it was just quick to let them have some fun and keep them occupied.

This one was to one of my USMC rifles. It's documented to being sent back to the Philadelphia Navy Yard as being unserviceable. But one of the reasons I like this one, is it was a former Warner Swasey that was turned back into a service rifle. You can even see where the stock was repaired once the scope rail was removed. In the late 1920s Chief of Ordnance Samuel Hof directed that rifles fitted for Warner Swaseys or WRA A5s be turned back into service rifles.

It's unclear if the USMC converted this back into a service rifle or Army Ordnance. Also, contrary to popular belief, the USMC did in fact use the Warner Swaseys, they actually used them longer than the Army. There were reports of the China Marines still using the Warner Swaseys with Maxim silencers in 1927 or 1928 (albeit not very much).

Right on.
If you need any help let me know when yo u get to them. I'm building a clone Unertal sniper up for an old boy from up Dover way that's a fulfilling project.
Spent some quality range time with another last Sunday so he could help his dad out in Massachusetts come deer season with a family rifle.
He's still trying to get home, wants to help his dad and feel good about being away.
