September 8Sep 8 They have a trap range, and a PPC range set up at his work, they shoot about 2-3 times per week. I suspect that he is going to try his hand at Precision Pistol Competition. His boss shoots competitively. He sold this pistol to go towards a $7k competition grade shotgun. CHIEF Jr. is a fantastic shot, I imagine he will do pretty good, his boss has asked him to go to some competitions with him that has a division for amateurs. CHIEF

September 14Sep 14 Thinking about a King Cobra. It feels better in my hand than a Python. Anybody have thoughts or first hand experience?

If it feels better in your hand get it. Python will probably be more enjoyable to shoot. I would get a ds1911 like an atlas Apollo lol
September 22Sep 22 I’m looking for a specific model of benelli super black eagle that no one seems to have in stock. I don’t think benelli lets you order straight from manufacturer. Does anyone know a good way to get a particular model shotgun that most stores done carry? Thank you!

Im sue hc can hook you up.But you can call Benelli customer service and ask who might have it or where to look. Or You can always try calling one of the bigger benelli dealers like Osage County Guns.Or Brileys in Houston and maybe they can point you in the right direction.

Can I just go on the website, register, and have the gun shipped to my house? Are there any background check kind of things and, if so, do I just go through that process with the seller?
September 23Sep 23 like ebay for guns you make an account, make a purchase and have the item shipped to your local gun store or FFL holder. When you go to pick it up you will do the background check there. Your local store will have a transfer fee to pay, usually between $25-$50 to take shipment and process background check.

September 23Sep 23 thanksYeah gunbroker has it. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1125378133The model number you sent me was off by a digit - so once I figured that out I just looked on gunbroker. Osage county guns is reputable. $1652 is below MAP so they’re not a premier dealer. Green Top has it for $1799 and they are a premier dealer. 10373 HC

September 24Sep 24 This is currently on ye olde printer... Polymaker PA6-CF20, properly Form 1'd, and will have an aluminum tube JB Welded around the outside to reinforce for lesser layer adhesion strength on the Z axis. This is the FTN.4 model available on the strange waters that was designed for PLA+ filament. With PLA+ it is survives well enough with supersonic .308 rounds. With PA6-CF20, it should last as long as anything commercially available for my intended use of my .300 BLK. Also, I decided to learn how to do CAD, and whipped this up as a beginner project on Tinkercad over the course of a couple days. Designed for .22lr; i will be submitting Form 1's for this on January 1st when the making tax goes to $0. The first is a cutaway showing the internal baffle system. Second and third are the same with one having a rounded front edge and the other squared off. Fourth is relieved to allow for a 38mm aluminum tube to fit around the outside for reinforcement, and the last just has a relief for a short ring section of the aforementioned tube to fit around it for Form 1 engraving purposes. I'll probably have to refine these a bit to get the clearances for the fit between the aluminum tube and the core just right, and my baffle system is it a bit experimental, but it's all part of the journey.

I just clicked on the link and was thinking about purchasing the exact same gun since my son is left-handed. As in, I was about to open Gun Broker and look online for that specific firearm, but I came to check out surly first, and I clicked on the link from Handcruser to you, and that's what I'm looking for. Somebody needs to reboot the Matrix - things are getting weird.

October 8Oct 8 Gotdammit! Clicked on a “back in stock” email for this Colt SAA a little while ago and went through the checkout process as quickly as my old fat fingers would work, but by the time I hit submit order it was “out of stock”. http://grabagun.com/colt-saa-45lc-5-5-ccb.html They get one in stock maybe twice a year at most, but I must be pretty far down the wait list.

October 15Oct 15 Little PSA, I ordered a chest holster for my S&W Governor from Craft Holsters. Service was great, delivered as ordered, very happy with quality/price.
October 16Oct 16 Gas vs inertia. Pick your poison. Hunting dove? Go swing them. Thank you for that, that wasn’t even a thought. Probably a gas gun, I’m more inclined to OCD over cleaning instead of inertia like my duck gun. Any dove or range gun I clean every time. If those 2 aren’t your favs, give another suggestion. I want to spend between 2 and 2.5k on an auto 28.

Shotguns I am less knowledgeable about than others on here. Browning beretta benelli. Stay in that lane and you’ll be ok. I’d go swing them if you can.

I had the A400 in 20 ga that I used for dove (some mfer stole it) as well as the Ethos in 12 that I use for pheasant. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I might lean a little more toward the finish on the Ethos if that makes any difference. I get a lot of compliments on it.

It is accurate enough for eye shots out to about 35 yards. It is subsonic by about 7ft/sec. I tried to link one from Bass Pro Shop, and Cabela's, but they no longer have them in stock, so no price. I don't think I have $200 in the gun and scope. It was less than half the price of the Gamo, if I remember correctly. CHIEF
