Any one ever intrested  in doing it?   I have been for at least 10 years, but work has always been  in the way.

With the move coming, I was really Thinking hard about it.  If I start it before I start a business, I will have the time for it and I can set my schelgde  around it.  If I wait until after I start up, there is no way.

follow up on the first Steel Challenge match... let's see, you shoot 5 strings of a minimum of 5 shots per string, check.... you have two 25 round magazines you down load a couple of rounds, check.... you intend to shoot 3 strings and then reload, check... you forget to reload at string 3, same at string 4, and on string 5 you get two shots off...

you may now laugh  .... but, it won't happen again

No laughing here.....call it training.....those are the best-learned lessons.

When someone says, "It goes without saying", why do they go ahead and say it anyway?

See I am going too southern Utah.  I wonder how all of my tax certs work.  Something I need too figure out.  Selling my company is also going too be hard.  Lots of blood sweat and tears went into it.     Next week I am going too take a road trip too look at some properties.

Handguns / Re: The Ruger Charger...will this work?

« Last post by Dirty Bob on Today at 11:50:47 am »

I’m hoping to go to the fun store today to pick up my new receiver!

I’m still debating which barrel to buy for my new “Charger”...

I’ve decided on 1:16 rifling, for regular .22LR ammo. Although a 1:9 barrel for Aguila SSS 60-gr ammo might be fun, that stuff is expensive, and there’d be a risk of putting time and money into a disappointing firearm.

Two questions remain: barrel length, and which barrel to buy?

I’m very tempted by the WhistlePig 6-inch lightweight barrel with threaded muzzle. I like a flash suppressor to protect the crown of a firearm that’s going to be carried around. How much am I really losing out on with a barrel this short? A 10- or 12-inch barrel adds a lot of bulk, but I’d consider it if I thought performance would be significantly better.

I’m hoping to shoot this pistol with a brace — and probably a folding mechanism — at ranges from 25 out to at least 100 yards. No plans to hunt with it for now, beyond maybe a few squirrels.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Sorry to see you leave Ky.

Will you still be able to make it to Knob Creek once in a while?
