Great job Rob! You got your first one done & behind you. That's the hardest one. I think H&H called but were asking about your car warranty first, to be sure you had reliable transpo, and you hung up on them old chap. Bad form. Missed opportunity but everything happens for a reason. I think it means you start your own custom shop?

So far, so good! Taping ALL the stock is correct, so good job there. Whatever you leave untaped will get bedding compound on it (Murphy's Law.) Good luck with bedding the stock. I hope it goes well.

It's always bad / evil people that kill. The tool chosen is just incidental. In this case, defenseless people are still defenseless regardless of whether a knife or gun was the tool chosen. I bet the bad guys used fully semi-automatic assault knives with high capacity grips.

Posting just so I don't miss out on internet history. RIP Tanker - you may he dead (or not) but your wackiness lives on. Banned but not forgotten. Better to burn out than fade away... I feel compelled to get a SS Tisas 1911 just to 'live the moment' & experience the genius / disaster of the gun (as the chips may fall) for myself. This thread may have sold more Tisas than the original Guns & Ammo article. Now THAT'S saavy marketing. Well done Tanker, well done.

Go Bama! Roll tide.

He doesn't look too confident with his setup...

I vote getting the 20" barrel. Stoner had it right at inception. Rifle length gas system is reliable & gentle on the bolt & brass and the velocity gain is a bonus. Might even be a tad quieter, but not enough so to put a big checkmark by that in the "pro" column.

OMG...what could possibly go wrong? Early Darwin award candidate?

Ban cars & trucks. 1) No mass shooter ever got to their kill location w/o a vehicle 2) There is no constitutional right to a car or truck 3) 37,000 people died in motor vehicle accidents in 2016. No cars or trucks = tens of thousands of lives saved. 4) Cars & trucks are weapons. 84 people killed in Bastille Day parade in France. Seven killed in Wisconsin Christmas parade w/SUV. Many more incidences of the same to support the point further if in debate. Vehicles are the common denominator - can't get your guns & ammo to kill locations without one. Besides, if it saves just one life...we should all be willing to be inconvenienced, right?

I clicked thinking the tang-safety, red buttpad Ruger M77 was resurrected. Exiting stage left...

Sad. Loved the songs.

Very interested in this also as I am back & forth daily (TN/MS).

Dang, that was a close call...twice!

It's a Boomba!

The LOP looks to be 12" on that gun! Must be a little dude...hobbit? Side note: love the hat, ha!

That's just hard to believe. That was a very short "retirement".

Not a single Silver Snipe (20 ga or otherwise) came up with a gunbroker.com search. That's going to be a tough find. I had a 12 ga Silver Snipe back in 1987. That was the first and last one I ever saw. I wish you luck with your search. If you come across a Browning Citori or Beretta 686 in 20 ga, you might buy them to get you by while you continue your Silver Snipe 'hunt'.

So...the government can now read my mind? Have they resurrected Carnac the Magnificent? It's bad enough my wife knows what I'm thinking.

.45 Colt is the correct designation, but many say .45 Long Colt to clearly differentiate it from the .45 ACP (automatic COLT pistol) round. This rifle is chambered in the cartridge you are wanting.

This is a good ruling. Thanks for passing it along. For now, the courts still seem to be working as designed. Hoping that continues.

The Auto Mag Raven? I associate "Raven" with cheap, low quality .25ACPs. Is that just me? Maybe Auto Mag Dark or Stealth would have been better.

Ruger LCP or Glock 43x. Flatter profile. Light. Higher round count. But I love revolvers for shooting & "drawer/glovebox" gun.

@hipowerI agree - bullpups just aren't my thing. Their compact size is neat, but that's where it ends for me. I'd just as soon have an AR-based gun, where everything is where I'm used to & expect it to be. Too much muscle memory built up to switch to a bullpup now for this old dog. But it's nice that the manufacturers keep giving us options to pick from.

If I go by which one gets pulled out of the safe and shot the most over the course of my life, it would have to be my Ruger Mark I with 5 1/2" bull barrel, by a landslide! It wears a red dot these days & it is just too much fun to put that red dot on a tin can or clay pigeon and see the hit time & again if I do my part. It is truly "favorite". If we are talking something with more horsepower I'd chose the Sig p210 Target. It is very accurate & pleasant to shoot. Plus it just looks sexy to me. It's a great pistol for a day of plinking. But saying that makes me feel guilty for ignoring another long termer that has been with me on many adventures, my 4" Ruger GP-100. It has had a trigger/action job & been parkerized. It's seen a lot of use over the years & is an old, reliable friend I just can't ever let go. Too many memories attached to it now.

In my opinion, it did. I'm sensing you feel otherwise. I can see what you are saying, so I guess I must be weighing the threat posed to public safety by the shooter as higher than you are. It's a decision I'm glad I didn't have to make in a second, like the officer did.
