Bloody Norse Saga's are shorter tales than the epic history of his Boomer-Ruger-Ang Mini-14

Yep, it was sold. Purely to finance the are Remington LTR in 6.8 SPC, at saddlers insistence as to how good the cartridge is....

But, given the history of me and the "Boomerang", I'm confident I will own it again, one day....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

You had a buntline with a cutdown barrel and balancing rod on too Sim. Was that sold as well?

Yep, the Buntline went. Part of a trade towards the Blaser shotgun.

My most recent disappointment was my "Retro Tactical Ma Bakers Dozen" Browning Auto 5....People helped put together a project over 18 months, then the bloddy thing didnt work! And when it did, the Auto 5 has a strange recoil impulse that frankly, I didn't like at all. That's been replaced with a Mossberg 930...

You stalking my gun sales?

No just curious. And what do you mean by strange recoil impulse? I sorta know what you're talking about, but I guess without having shot it I would not be able to say, "wow that doesn't feel right". Just think if the laws of barrel length were still at pre 1988 you could have built a whip it gun like Clyde Barrows. Also what the history of the Buntline, I see to recall you got it cheap, then got it modded. I think I once talked with the dealer who did it for you (was curious about a 357 they'd had for sale, then sold, told me Lincolnshire police's licensing times had gone down hill). Anyway it turned out getting a buntline cut was more expensive than I thought and on my expenses I'm just shooting a buckmark which I love. Oh for the days when I can move to the Isle of man Sim (I have relatives there). Anyway you keep watching I might have news in the future on something good coming ;) . Try and guess what it is.
