Got last month's Luger to the range. First shot was the high 12, then I compensated. 41 feet, 30 rounds WWB. 1 fail to feed, 1 fail to eject. Not bad for 96 years old. FUN!

Woot! Woot! Well, that's where I bought them. Fun targets and about half price from Woot.

Still not looking to buy any guns, but that doesn't mean I won't. Actually, I might be putting a couple up for sale.

We didn't get to come home until July 2nd.

On another note KTP called me on the 3rd to tell me my keltec sub 2000 came in. The order only took 3 weeks surprisingly. Pretty good week I'd say [smile]!!

Cute baby, neat pacifier. [wink]

Congratulations to all of you!

Ditto.

I recall a Three Stooges short, c. 1940, when the trio find an 'abandoned' baby and are trying to take care of it. Larry had found the kid a pacifier - a .38 special. Moe then clobbers Larry...

After taking my adopted son shooting for the first time on June 23, I realized that we would be spending a lot of time at the 25 yard range as he gets comfortable and consistent. That meant one of us wouldn't be doing much shooting as my club only allows pistol rounds at 25. So today I found a papered CMP service grade IBM carbine from a NES member one town over for dad to use (thanks again jpdopes). February '44 receiver, October '43 General Motors Inland Division barrel, IBM round bolt and hand guard, Saginaw trigger group and op-rod. Nice Tiger stripe SA M2 potbelly stock.







 
When you call him, do you say "hey adopted son come over here"? Or is there a joke I'm missing

Just wondering why you would refer to him as your adopted son?
 
No joke, I guess I'm still considering this an extension of my post in the MilSurp forum and here when I could for the first time legally introduce him and post his picture. As we were "pre-adoptive" parents for nearly 4 years, the term became part of the family vocabulary from the state and all the way down through the schools, foster care services, etc. While we've considered him our son from the get go, it will take a little time to drop the word from the lexicon. My wife still says it on occasion as well.
