Haven't shot mine neither, a trip to Pennsy is much needed.

+1 on those short barrels. my old man has a S&W 44 mag with a 4 in barrel and after 20 or so rounds your just about finished. He has a ruger super redhawk (i think) with a long barrel and that's a blast!

Bump My friend just picked up one of these at TJ arms in Bayville. He bought the mariner model and it looks great. I've shot a pistol grip Mossy before and it doesn't feel good after awhile, but for it's intended use (ie just in case), you can't go wrong for well less than 500 bucks.

This is crazy. I recently (6 months ago) applied for the US Border Patrol. I passed the initial test, physical and oral board. Not to be arrogant but I scored very high on the initial test and did very well on the oral board. I passed the physical but when they checked my uncorrected vision, it was so bad (20/800), that they said I don't meet their expectations. I asked them if Lasik or hard contacts would help and they initially said yes. So I set up the appointment immediatly. The Border Patrol then called me back soon after and said even if I get the surgery, I still don't qualify. The only thing I can do is file waiver for medical. They also said that if I want to reaply after the surgery, that my original test scores would carry over. I'm still going to get the free consultation with Dr. Delaruso, but me and the misses don't know what to do.

I hope my daughter can do that when she's that age. Guns will be apart of her life, hopefully she takes them up. Or at least understand them.

I'm seeing Dr. Deleruso (the one you here about on Howard Stern) on Friday about getting lasik. My eyesight is pretty bad without corrective lenses and I've been wanting to look into this for a while. Anyone here got it down or is thinking about it? I know the price has gone down but it's still a few grand. But to see without glasses would be amazing.

I want to go to the range you went to. That would be perfect! Where is it located?

Coldsolderjoint, where is this range? This would be a great place to shoot, especially 12 gauge.

Just finished re-attaching the stock. Here are the numbers. Original Lenth: 42 inches cut 7 5/8 inches of barrel cut 7 inches of stock New Length: 26 1/2 inches Here it is and sitting in my hand

Yes, that's my kinda range! How did the chopped shotty shot?

Okay, back to that AK varient. How's it shoot? How much did you pay? And can you shoot 5.56 Nato threw it?

Just re-attached the cut pistol grip on the stock. Tomorrow I will post a pic. I don't know what I'm going to do with the end of the stock. Cover it with a piece of rubber? I don't know. I'm problably going to sand down the stock and foregrip but for know she's staying the way she is.

Weren't the Walthers like 550 bucks a few months ago? I coulda sworn that was the price at Caso's. I'll pass.

there's really no need for cleaning the inside of the barrel after cutting it, but it would "finish the cut" nicely.

Pics please.

A whip is a flexible piece of tubing for gas lines. I think, I'm an electrician and that's what a whip is for electricians.

You know when you are soddering copper pipe, you have to use that pipe cleaner/brush on the pipe to clean it up? So the sodder will seal around the whole tube? I think one of those brushes is all that's needed. You can find a single shot shotgun like this for well under a hundred bucks at gunshows. Especially the youth models.

Hmmm, now you got me thinking. I don't know what I'm going to do with the wood. There is a tiny lip on the barrel but actually there's a bigger lip on the piece cut off. On the end of the barrel, the lip on the inside isn't sharp, but it's there. Maybe a little filing? Also, don't forget, my old man got this shotgun used. For 35 bucks! If it was brandy new I wouldn't touch it, but if you come across something like this for cheap, why not?

Thanks Chad The pipe cutter cut the barrel very clean and with no scratches. The stock will be cut on a table saw so it too will be clean. I'm not sure what to do with the end of the stock though. I also don't know If I want to sand her down and do something crazy like refinish it. But sofar is looks "professional".

The stock is coming with me to work tomorrow, to get chopped

Here we go I used a pipe cutter to cut the barrel to 18 1/2 inches in length. Tomorrow, I'm going to cut the stock to LEGAL length.

I was talking about your Taurus. Not the Hi-Point. The hi-point is ugly no matter what stock you throw on it. But that stainless 1911 Taurus? That's a beauty.

Including one of mine, just got finished removing the branches and limbs.
