[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3069276, member: 91783"] Ed: it amazes me how much has changed in just a few years. We didn't have the quality scopes that we do today when I was starting out, just since 911 and the war on terrorism scopes and night vision has come a long way. When range finders first came out you needed a truck to carry them around. A friend of mine picked up a pair of binoculars in 1968 in Hue that were Russian made and had ranging hash marks in the upper left-hand corner of the left lens. In the 1980's we started seeing GPS coming out for the general public's use. At that time, we had bag phones here, flip phones were coming out, and we had dead spots in so many places. When I was in the service, I was in with a computer programmer that couldn't find a job and enlisted in the Navy to keep from being drafted, a computer took up a large rooms space. Today a smart phone that you carry in your shirt pocket has more capabilities than those large immobile computers did. I haven't been very diligent in keeping up with the rapid changes in our world. I am thinking that I should go to the collage in my town that has a gunsmithing course and check out their 1911 Armor's course, I tried to do the metal bluing and finishing course but was told that I had to take the rest of the course first.
