Nice Easter toy BTW. I got one in .223 as well....I don't know how hard it'd be today but a few years back I got some goodies through ebay to make it more fun
YEAH!!! Alaska would be like the greatest ( or one of the greatest) states to live in for a gun owner........

Very nice Easter gift. I envy, envy ......

Ammo is a little hard to come by lately, sure is a good time to be reloading - the costs of factory are horrid.

Yeah, I gotta learn to reload...I need it all.....9, 40 and 45...and I can't find it anywhere--even online everything in bulk is backordered...I am waiting on an order now.....


Hey anyone know where to get " butt covers" LOL I have no idea what they are called but its a thing that will cushion the butt of the rifle against your chest?? I have a nice "bruise" from my last time shooting...not that thats bad.,.. everytime I bump it makes me want to go shoot : ) lol

Hold that thing TIGHT against that bone in your shoulder pocket, 9mil out of a carbine shouldn't bruise. That recoil pad from Brownell's is basically what you will find anywhere else, bout the same price too.

even reloading components can be hard to find these days. Especially quality brass and good luck finding small rifle primers in stock.

OK well its not really "bruise.." But its tender....and I think that the fact that the gun has a hard plastic end with a coarse bumpyness to it didn't help and I was just shooting in a t-shirt...so the bumpyness is what really got me. But it was fun and I want to do it again!!! LOL
I am going to look into that buttstock pad! thanks
