It sounded like a war broke out here this afternoon. Welcome to Tennessee.

I'm a revolver guy to the bone, but my LCP sure spends a lot of time in my pocket! I'll bet you'll like yours as well.

I got a couple of books I wanted, and the DVD set of the History Channel's show, "Tales of the Gun". Also had a great day spent with the family.

My oldest son got a Colt M4-22 today, and I can now give a report of it. It had two stovepipes with the first mag, and no more failures ofter that, with the entire family burning several hundred rounds through it. It is more than accurate enough for plinking, buy I've yet to really test it's accuracy potential. I can recommend one wholeheartedly! I like it because it has a dustcover, forward assist, and other options found on a genuine M4 that are absent some other models. I also like the picture of the pony on the side.

My boys must have been good this year, as Santa filled their wishes. The oldest asked for a Colt M4-22, and the little one wanted a 410 Shotgun. The weather was perfect this afternoon to give them a go. The family dog even chipped in, fetching unbroken clays. Hope you all have a very merry Cristmas as well.

Scotch and diesel fuel tastes about the same to me. Right now, they are also competitive in price!!!

I'd personally keep it unfired, but it IS yours, so make yourself happy. I'd guess Garufa is close with the $850 figure. That's a darned nice Christmas present! You must've been very good boy.

Your post made me curious, so I gave it a try this morning. I wasn't happy with the 10 yard groups, always having one stray flier, shooter induced I'm sure. Anyway, here's my attempt at a 7 yard group. Not quite 3", but close. The cold hard truth is that I need to practice...A LOT!!!

Has your friend showed you he can do this, or just told you? There are guys who sit around the local gun store here who can shot golf balls with one at 100 yds, although I've yet to actually witness it.

A day spent with the young uns is always a good day.

My father has a model 52. It looks like the 39, but that's where the similarity ends! That gun will shoot!!!!!!!

1) A German Luger, dated 1940, Mauser MFG., 9mm 2) A pristine Smith and Wesson 39-2, 9mm. 3) A Rock Island Armory 1911 A-1 Commander, 45ACP. My two sons, ages 8 and 13, and myself all shot till our hearts were content. All guns quite accurate. They are quality firearms in good condition. The Rock Island by far being the least expensive. Here's what I learned: The Luger jammed several times with my youngest son shooting it, but was reliable when my oldest and when i shot it. The Smith and Wesson jammed every shot with my youngest son, and a couple of times when my oldest son shot. It was reliable for me. The Rock Island was the only one of the lot that was 100% reliable with all three of us. It was also the most accurate of the lot. I believe that the Luger and the Smith are sensitive to limp wristing. I further believe that the old adage "You get what you pay for" doesn't always hold true. We all three had a great time. I still prefer revolvers.

Evan Williams black label is o.k., especially for the price. Heaven Hill is the nastiest available, and should not be on liquor store shelves.

Makes me feel a bit better about my job.

Thanks. I did carve it. I'm not all that great at it, but a piece of scrap makes for good practice. That design is over 100 years old, and I've yet to hear of a negligent discharge because of it. Were I concerned about it, however, I would suggest only buying holsters that cover the triggerguard. Not sure how familiar you are with a revolver, but it takes a pretty good tug on the trigger to discharge it. I can dig up many photos on the web of famous FBI agents, peace officers, Texas Rangers, etc. who carried a similar style as a duty holster.

Now you're talking! My wife dosen't know that you can get "blue guns"; they are the polymer training guns you can also use for molds. So every now and then, I'll "need" to buy another handgun. Sell a few, and you can help fund the new gun. I just finished up one this evening. I found a gun I didn't have leather for, and I happened to find a piece of scrap big enough.

There is a tool called a skiver that is used to thin leather. If you can't borrow one, and you only need it once, you may want to sand it. I'd advise you to wet it first.

Be careful, or it'll become habit forming.

Do candles somehow avert bullets?

Liberal logic.....always funny!!!!

UPDATE: I've field dressed 5 deer with it this season, and skinned and deboned three of them. I've only lightly touched it up on a stone a couple of times, and it'll still shave my arm. I am pleased with the quality of the steel. I'll probably order another one before winter's over and try some bone or stag handles, and perhaps some liners as well. I'd recommend the kit. I'd also like to see anything else you guys have been working on.

I think I found your problem. Get a Weaver mount and rings, and a REAL scope and see what it'll do. I'll bet you'd be surprised. The only other thing I can think of is that I have seen a rifle barrel in the past someone had put in a vice and squeezed it hard enough that the bore in that spot was no longer round. It didn't shoot very good. I can't imagine, however, why someone would fell the need to do that to a single shot.

When is the next Knoxville show? I'd drive that far for a decent show, although I don't care for Knoxville.

Sure wish I was closer, as I would like to see and shoot the rifle in person.

Yeah, I have an opinion. I went to their last Lebanon show, and I had about as may guns in my truck as there was at the show. I would really like my money, gas, and time refunded. I'll not go to another one.
