Chuckle. Sounds like my kind of people, Ed. But because I have the brown paper bag (actually a 50 cal BP rifle that I made a whole new bolt and firing pin assembly for) I put together Monday that I can't take apart for a photo record Tuesday, Wednesday will be spent making a .051" allen wrench, turns out the one I have that came out of a plastic pocket labeled .050, was actually .048, small enough to muck up the sockets in some hardened alloy 0-80 cap screws. But if I feed it the right bullets, a 300 Gr HPBT swaged and saboted in Canada, 80 gr of BH209 & a CCI 209M primer, 3 of the last 5 shots yesterday went in one ragged hole, with the chrono showing just shy of 1500 fps average. I enjoy making a $200 sows ear in a plastic stock get all dressed up in some nicely figured maple with cherry caps, thumbhole style of course, looking good enough to get the ohhs and ahhs at the range, and shoot as well as I can. I think I'll keep it. :) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
