I'm going to shoot my ne

This is what I saw when I clicked on this thread, from the main forum page.

I'm going to shoot my neighbor.
I'm going to shoot my nephew.
I'm going to shoot my necrophiliac cousin.
I'm going to shoot my neck full of drugs.
I'm going to shoot my nec computer monitor.

Random string truncation is fun, sometimes.

That's nothing, the truncated headline on Fox's homepage was:

Teacher pleads guilty to killing California


My thoughts were that it's entirely unfair to blame just ONE teacher when they are all to blame.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Result.

This goes where it is pointed. If you are on, it is on.

It is loud.

VERY LOUD. I had plugs in and have tinnitis in a bad way right now.

The only weak point on this gun is the grip. It simply is not grabby enough. I'm looking into solutions but in the mean time I have a thousand rounds with which to get used to it.

Awesome piece of machinery. Very slick. Sexy, even. And very loud.

Video coming soon as well.







^^ A Russian gun and a Japanese car--budget heaven.

Now with video!

The Russian solution to this was to wrap a strip of cloth around the bottom of grip. :)

Hogue Hand-All grip. Pachmayr Pac-Skin trimmed to fit, or skateboard tape on front and backstraps.

Yeah I know...the place where I shoot doubles as a runway for the landlord's Cessna. Constant north wind, usually strong.

I've also got a combo runway/range. 700 yards...

I was so avoiding asking that.  So here's something just as bad.

What happens when the Cessna hits the backstop?

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

I would think anything less then 7.62 X 54 would just bounce off. ;)

For the grips, I wonder if Norinco 213 grips would fit? They have a molded in backstrap about like the 1911 arched mainspring housing.

My backstop is rising land past the end of the runway. The plane's gotta clear 60 and 70 ft trees at the end of the runway anyway, so rising terrain past that isn't a problem.

Back when I had a 9mm Chicom version, I used the Hogues. They really made a difference.....

Glad you like.....I'm thinking about getting one as a plinker/puncher....
