Thanks for everyone's input. I'm not going to file a claim, it looks like it's not worth the time and hassle. The neighbors are very nice and friendly, but they would not be able to physically help with the cleanup and repairs, so we'll have to do that ourselves. I can use the exercise anyway.

My neighbor's dead tree fell on my property this morning. The damage to the wire fence is probably in the $100 - $300 range, plus the ~ 25' tree needs to be removed from the back yard. I have never had to file a home insurance claim yet, does anyone know if such a small claim would affect our future insurance rates? Any insight is most appreciated.

Not to veer this thread farther off topic, but this would not be entirely unprecedented. The revolver in this pic was apparently issued to "working convicts" in the late 19th century in TN.

Great news, congratulations! Hope to follow in your footsteps some day. Also a good excuse to buy another gun.

Can we start panic buying yet?

The strategy of "divide and conquer" is working as always.

I'm getting around 2+ hours of battery life with Duracell AA batteries. It has no high/low setting.

I'm in.

What time are you planning to leave? We could stop by your place around 8:30 - 8:40 and help load the thrower.

Enterprise in Lawrenceville tried to upsell me to a Wrangler last December. I don't know if they always have them.

Apparently there are other options, outside of the slingshot method, that work for some people:

Thanks, great advice as always. I have been using small amounts of CLP and occasionally Powder Blast on the firing pins in my hammer fired guns, with no problems so far.

Not to drift the thread too far, but does this concept apply to the 92/96, where the firing pin's movement results in metal-on-metal friction?

Great purchase experience and a smooth transaction, thank you!

Thank you for the great service and a well oiled transaction! Will be back.

Nobody ever plans on being in an accident or getting injured, but the risk still exists. It is a risk-benefit decision, including any potential legal consequences, even if you don't make it consciously.

If you want to boresight it without special tools, this method worked reasonably well for me on Savage and Marlin bolt action 22s: http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/ht/htboresight.htm You can also shine a flashlight through the barrel, but I find that method less accurate. If you don't have a shooting rest, you can make a cradle out of a cardboard box for this.

I'll be there. As always, everyone is welcome to shoot my ever-popular 20 ga 500.

Yes, that is obviously a different box. It may be the same ammo, these are also sealed with the same green sealant.

Yes, the good stuff.

I can trade you up to 5 boxes, for brass cased 9mm.

I'm in.

I have to work on Friday but may be able to make it on Saturday or Sunday. And here is this week's puzzle: How many clay shooters does it take to push a Grand Marquis up that driveway in this weather, on Michelin all weather tires?
