Went to Idaho to visit my son and his family. Got to do 2 days of ground squirrel shooting with them. 10yo boy and 15 and 18 year old girls. They loved the AR especially. Had a blast and now Dad is being hounded to get an AR. Turning them to the dark side.
I have the Dueck offsets and also like the Diamondhead offset sights. I only use the offsets on one of my AR's (which had an MTAC which serves my purpose).
You're correct Kelly. I should have been clearer. At the time you do a background check, the number of guns info isn't sent to NICS (FBI site). The multiple gun form, after a proceed, always goes to the ATF.
As an FFL, the multiple firearms form only applies to handguns and I have multiple customers who buy a couple at a time and it hasn't made any difference in delays. I haven't had anyone do 10 guns at a time, but the number of firearms isn't sent to NICS when I do a background check, only the type (handgun, longgun, and other such as a lower).
I collect Colt SAA's and have a fun collection of "gamblers guns". Small pocket pistols like the Colt 1908 and 1903, Remington 51, velo dogs, Mauser M-8, Savage 1907, and a bunch of S&W pocket pistols. The gambler guns are relatively inexpensive scaled against the SAA's.
I'll have to look at the Levang. I put a Flaming Pig on my varmint AR because I was blowing the hat off my buddy shooting next to me with the corvette.
+1 what Stuey said. I have 2 550's (one at work for when it gets slow) and one at home. The SDB would sometimes leave high primers as you need to forcefully seat them on the upstroke. PIA in my revolvers. Never had a high primer with my 550's plus I have multiple top ends so I can change calibers quickly. I also got a 1050 just for pistols (9, 40, and 45), but it takes tinkering and my friends tell me I shouldn't be allowed to use tools.
I think it depends on your personality. I enjoy shooting with people I know and know their personalities, tendencies, etc. But after some years of competing in different disciplines, it's fun to shoot with and meet new people. There will always be people on your squad better than you. Learn from them. Mostly, have fun!!
Tell her you got it so when she's reloading for you, she wont have to work as hard and besides, pulling the handle with firm up her hooters. You were just thinking of her.
