Yes Thx to the Mods
I like forums that have OT areas, you can get to know ppl better and often find you have similar interests or hobbys, and sometimes you end up meeting ppl in person that become long time friends, we had a couple from Italy visit us years ago and we still keep in touch even tho we arent involved with the main thing that got us together in the first place.... and I found my Cub Lo-Boy because I went to meet a guy from a forum about a Ford mower deck... didnt know he had the Cub till I pulled into his yard... took me a year to talk him out of it.
Nice job on the 1911, at least we know you arent a crook.... they wouldnt like anything so flashy Im sure..lol
Handguns are a bit of a pita around here... cant take them anywhere without a bunch of red tape so I only own one right now... an old H&R Trapper .22 7 shot revolver that was my Pops, and probably the first handgun I ever shot.
I work in metal fab and made myself a couple target stands last year to put out in the field so I'll find a pic here in a sec... they have a 3/8" x 1" flat bar stand(rounded on the facing edge for safety) with a 3/4" round bar on top, with two swinging 1/4" x 5" steel stop signs(but I ended up prefering them yellow).... they work well for small cal rifles/handguns, the swinging action defects the bullets nearly straight down, I repaint them when ever they get too chipped up to see the hits. Have one set out east of the back deck on the house... the other is out south of the front deck... always something to poke at while Im waitin for a gopher to pop up.
