Sorry Drew - broken link. TM

To get an AR grip to fit the Colt/Umarex, you have to drill an extra hole in the top of the grip to allow the Colt's hammer strut to be where it needs to be. TM

Huh. I found a mostly intact model 60 - 5 years ago, the older one with the squirrels on the stock, at a yard sale for $2.00. $45 later I had a great shooter. Traded it for a nearly new Marlin 25N bolt action. That bull bup thing is neat! TM

Yes! :thumb: TM

Thanks Draggun. Does make you wonder, usually German design is much better. TM

I have a Mosquito, and really like it. Except for the DA trigger pull. SA pull is sweet. Accurate and reliable. TM

Nice! I went to the range Monday and took my .45. After 3 rounds my front sight was gone. ??? TM

Looks nice - what does the reticle look like? TM

Yes. :thumb: TM

I like the Federal bulk ammo, but I have had issues with specific lot numbers. Here we go again. Just finished a 325 pack that had outstanding accuracy. Just started a 525 pack, and accuracy went to hell with the Colt M-4. But when fired thru a Marlin bolt action, the same lot number shoots thru the same hole at 50 yds. Same outing, shooting BVAC ammo thru the Colt and it is nuts on. This is very frustrating. TM

Welcome and thanks for the great review! TM

Cool Drew! I miss taking my old doggie Jake fishing. My current mutt Roadie would probably just wander away. TM

Welcome to the site. Pull up a chair and set a spell. TM PS, I hail from San Angelo.

Technology is a wonderment. :thumb: TM

Or your sight... TM

Don't they call those things "thunderware"?? TM

I am on vacation, and we did the Fulton County Fair - gotta be one of the best in Ohio. Great food, great weather, Kansas played Sunday night. Other than that, I am remodeling the laundry room. Don't ask how that is going. Please, don't ask. TM Gosh, we need a thumbs down smiley!!

Uh, Drew - My wife says nice buns. ::) TM

Yes - played it for about an hour last night. Problem with IE?

I ran across this virtual bench rest shooting game. You need to adjust for windage and elevation with changing wind conditions. Try it out - it measures your group. http://users.netonecom.net/~bcarling/benchrest.html TM :thumb:

Excellent idea! TM

Well, things have settled down since I posted the "rules".... 10 Rules For Dating My Daughter: Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my pneumatic nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early." Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a Huey coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine. TM
