Merry Christmas, John! Oh, and Merry Christmas to you and yours also! -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Merry Christmas, John! Just let me know when. I always like to take visitors to town at night for their first visit. Most of the memorials are much more impressive under lights, and the war memorials are especially nice at night. -- Ban idiots, not guns! Sounds great. Thanks! |

The grandkids put several hundred rounds through it last time they were up here. -- Ban idiots, not guns! Watch the really cheap ammo. It makes it tough to clean the barrel. CCI can be found for a half-penny a round more than the green box (I forget the brand). Thunderbolt? That stuff was so dirty that it jammed my 10-22 after about 75 rounds and in "rock and roll" mode, that is not long. |
