Oh my, that is scary. Wasn't it just last month some elementary school kid took his "pocket knife" to school and was permanently expelled from school because of their "zero tolerance" policy. It was given to him by his grandfather (an obvious bad influence) and was less than 2" long. He was later let back in after the parents and community complained.

I've got a compressor (or two) :roll: Maybe I can trade someone for an old single shot .22?

Back in the 80's, we had a rash of "bomb scares" phoned into the school I taught at. This all took place over about a three week period. In the beginning, we would pull the fire alarm, get all the kids out, bring in the police and search all lockers. After a while, we would pull the alarm, get the kids out and have the janitors check lockers. Then we would just send the janitors out to check unlocked lockers for a bomb, eventually we just ignored the calls and they stopped. boy, that sure was a different world back then. BTW, we never did find a bomb..... Now they call for either a "lock down" or an "evac" where we march all the students (2,000+) down the driveway to the bus barn, load them all up and transport them to the middle school (or other location if that is on evac too). Heck, I was a "shop" teacher and always had exterior doors. If the SHTF, I would have just had everyone just leave out the back door 8-)

Thanks, I was just curious. Sounds like an interesting process I might try if I get a spare gun to goof with. I am a "do it yourself" kind of guy, from doing home repairs/remodeling to building a race car...I always do everything myself. Been driving for 45 years and have never paid to have anything done on my cars. My brother, on the other hand, does not know what end of a screwdriver to hold and has to pay to have anything done!

It something one can just buy a kit and do it yourself or does it have to be applied by a "professional"?

Not nearly as impressive, but here is my "pistol porn". Ruger, Buckmark, XD-9 Tactical & Taurus Model 94

I guess they did not have very many? Oh well, I really ever use CCI or Winchester anyway

Great idea Wolfy, but by the time we find 5 people who each want a thousand each, they will be out

That's a good deal, might have to order one. Hey Wolfy, have you started cranking out any reloads yet?

I believe "timed fire" refers to tactical style shooting. Come on down to Shore Shot in Lakewood on a Monday night for their "Fun Shoot" and you can see how it's done! It is a lot of fun! Just minutes off of GSP Exit 89.

I am sure there are some interested people (like me) that are just waiting to see the sample before committing.

Welcome to the forum!

What a meet, I think we had 20+ shooters there tonight, and most were forum members. Matt and Chad played nice and everyone was sharing their toys! It was great seeing so many people I met at the CJRP meet in October. It looked like Chad got quit a bit of food for the food bank donation as well. Way to go everybody!

Wolfy, make sure you try my XD tonight, I will have some 124 gr Montana Gold.

Well, I shot my Mark III Hunter last week so it will be the XD9 tonight. Of course, when I cleaned the Ruger she gave me a little fit with the bar...but after a try or two, I got it. And, I figured out what the problem is! You have to make sure the trigger is pulled (empty mag) when you take it apart and the hammer has to be up after you put in the bolt but before you put in the pin!

Hello and welcome to the forum

Bob, I will be there so there will be at least 2 old farts there! Ther is plenty of room in the front for socializing and the range has a bit of room behind the firing line. The range is 25 yards and they will let you shoot any pistol ammo and most rifles. If you are bringing a shotty, you have to use buckshot. I believe it is $15.00 for non-members. I will be there around 7:30.

Last Tuesday at BA, Ruger Mark III target, CCI lead at 7 yards...with one bad eye

I have used Berrys in 9mm and they worked fine. Currently I am using Montana Gold and these are great too.

Matt, good luck on your final and congrats. Hope to see you tomorrow at BA.

Looks very nice, be sure to post up a range report after you get out and shoot it.

I believe you should not need a permit for the upper slide or barrel.

Glad she is feeling better! Dinner with the wife trumps shooting with us any day!

Looked out about an hour ago and the cars are covered in snow. Yeah snow! Too bad tomorrow I am in the Woodbridge Christmas Parade and all our cars are going to be a mess by the time we get there. Maybe I'll bring a bucket of water to wash off all the salt I am bound to get.
