Awhile ago, I sold the bulk of my airguns, quit working on airguns, and disappeared from AGN. Busy job, young kids, and furthering my involvement in other interests led to this decision. What few guns I have left have basically just collected dust since my departure. Then the opportunity to get back in a race car has all but eliminated airguns from my mind.
Well, racing season is over and I have been spending my time hunting and working on firearms and archery equipment. Still leaving airguns but a distant memory.
A week or 2 ago, I got a text from an airgun buddy. That followed by a phone call that was short and left me somewhat baffled?? I have been really busy and basically had forgot about the text and call. Early this week, my wife sent me a text while I was at work asking what in the world I had ordered now. I was confused as I couldn't remember ordering anything. Keep in mind I had just bought a couple new firearms and a new bow press so my wife was a bit annoyed to say the least.
When I returned home from work there was a box waiting on me and I had no clue what it was or who it was from. After reading the shipping label i quickly remembered my text and chat with Doc (NMshooter here on AGN) Opening the box left me speechless.
There was also a note. More or less Doc said he hoped this stock might get me interested in airguns again.
Those that remember me probably know that I am a huge fan of the Marauder. Unfortunately, I no longer owned one. Just so happens that Doc made this stock for a Marauder and for good reason I suppose!! My wife was just as surprised as I was and before I could say it, she said "guess you are gonna order a gun to fit that stock" Only took me about 30 minutes to find a good deal on a .25 Marauder. I only kept .177 and .22 air guns, so I had to order some pellets as well.
While I doubt I ever get as involved as I used to be, this gift has brought me back to AGN and regained some interest in a hobby that once consumed my day to day life. I had gotten rid of all my marauder parts, so I doubt I will do anything but a basic blueprint and tune. I am excited to take it on a squirrel hunt this winter once I am done filling deer tags.
Doc, this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Your work is beautiful and words couldn't express my gratitude. Thank you for giving me a nudge!! I have missed AGN.
