Well I guess I'm still on the waiting list. The gun was picked up so I'm back where I was. LOL.

Agree. I haven't stepped foot in one of their stores in years.
I'm amazed this guy's still alive.

Our son's high school started a trap league this year.
He used our old 12ga Maverick (which actually is a pretty decent gun for the price) for the first couple weeks and did well. But when I went to put a full choke in it, the threads in the barrel were toast. I could have purchased a new barrel for it, but as far as my wife knows, we couldn't find one and had to purchase a new Franchi O/U.

THE absolute BEST book I have ever found on trapshooting.... "Trapshooting is a Game of Opposites" by Dick Bennett. Originally published by Shotgun Sports magazine. I heartily recommend it. It covers stance, fit, swing, WHERE to look for the birds, etc. It really helped me many years ago when I got back into it again.

The Youth trap kids from my old Club won big a few years back at the Vandalia Shoot....THE big National shoot of the year.
Just donated a mess of wads , powder and hulls to the kids. My shoulders have reached the point that occasional recoil is fine, but 75 or a hundred birds in a day and I'm hurting. So my trap days are over. Why I like skeet.....I can shoot 28 ga or .410 and feel zero recoil. |

Michigan's state tournament is in a couple weeks, along with the National Championship this year is being held July 12-15 just S of Lansing MI. (only about an hour S of us. )
Yes, it's great to see the students getting involved in the sport. The sportsmanship, respect and safety they exhibit is something you don't see much lately.

Snagged an older, circa 1997 SIG P-239 yesterday at a small, local gun show. Gun, four factory mags, in .357 sig, with an aftermarket .40 S&W conversion barrel. $450 so a pretty decent deal.
Several other notable handguns at the show , but those at crazy prices. I have a decent array of handguns, so everything on my "Buy" list now is rarer or downright RARE. With prices all in the $1000+ range. So a three figure gun under five is a real change. Still a lot of folks trying to sell AR's/AR mags for Obama era prices too. Clueless. |

Had one of the old Colt Sporter AR's in 7.62x39. Back when x39 was dirt cheap. Now that it's no longer cheap, I can't see any use for it. Unless a guy hunts pigs or whatever. Basically very close to old .30-30 ballistics. Albeit lighter slugs ,but seems to work the same on game.
Magazines were the issue, until i found some AK/AR Frankenmags; steel AK body fitted and welded to an AR mag upper. THOSE worked. Yet I have an LWRC upper in 5.45x39 and regular AR mags work well for those up to maybe a dozen rds. I do have some dedicated mags, forgot who built them and they work fine with 28 rds. |

Impulse bought a Ruger American Rifle. 30-06, 22 inch barrel. $189, which from what I can tell is a steal.
Anything I should know about these things? Or this caliber? Never owned a bolt gun or a 30-06 before.
