I am looking at retiring during 2003. As a result I will have tons of time on my hands. I have only recently become hooked on guns and hunting as well as history of firearms. I would like to continue learning as much as possible, even if I could apprentice with a firearms manufacturer, gunsmith, ammo development, whatever. I would do this on a volunteer basis, i.e. no pay...LOL. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. BTW I am 52. You can feel free to say I am crazy too..LOL.
