Is that duct tape?

No that's a tactical-olive drab-fiber reinforced adhesive-trigger pin retention device, thank you very much.

Yes it's duct tape. It's the best way that I've come up with the keep the trigger pins in place. I've tried replacing the springs that hold the trigger pins, but after a while they lose their gusto.

 

[Hoppy590]

AHAHAHA. the poor guy changes one thing and some one points out another! greatness.

 

[chipp]

What kind of meat tenderizer is that thing on the muzzle?
Oops, I thought it was a posthole digger. My mistake

looks like a hole saw to me

[Dave McCracken]

Wiping water off monitor.....

Thanks, Ed. Your pic kinda says it all.

No Cutts, though......

 

[Superpsy]

hmm

Is that duct tape?

hmmm, looks more like masking tape. I hope that's not holding the gun together.

 

[pcf]

hmmm, looks more like masking tape.

Nope, wrong again... that's a bonafide tactical-desert khaki-quick detach-cruiser ready-forearm retention device.

 

['Card]

Mossberg 500 Tactical Cruiser, with 18.5” overall length breaching barrel parkerized finish and 590 style tube, Knoxx SpecOps stock with PowerPak and Hogue HandAll grip sleeve. GG&G receiver mount sling plate, Side Saddle, 80 lumen tactical light with remote pressure switch, Holographic sight, Hogue overmolded Rubber forend with Mossberg forend strap attached, GG&G forend sling plate

Yes, it has two side saddles, the one on the butt was part of the Knoxx PowerPak for the stock. I got the PowerPak for the elevated cheek piece and the battery compartment the extra shell holder was just an added bonus. The muzzle attachment is not a flash suppressor or a muzzle brake. Its real purpose for door breaching. It lets gasses and blast escape through the ports so your barrel doesn’t blow up when the muzzle is against a lock or something. I didn’t put it on I don’t know how it is attached but it doesn’t come off and it’s actually factory from Mossberg that way. The flashlight setup is actually from Tac-Star It’s 80 lumens and seems to be relatively well built. The mount is deasigned to be used with a sidesaddle and is from tacstar also. The optic is BSA It was on sale big time at Midway USA so I gave it a try. It seems to be pretty good for BSA but I haven’t had it long enough to see if it’s really OK. I did consider a heat shield but I’m not sure it would fit considering there is only 15.5” of barrel before the breacher attachment. And I have no deasier for a bayonette and I don’t think one would fit anyway considering the large diameter of the breaching tip. As far as the sidewinder drum kit goes. I don’t like it, it’s expensive and they aren’t making it anymore. Practical. . . not for hunting and skeet but it’s a free country. For me half the fun is setting the gun up. Selecting the parts and accessories and doing the build. It is what I want it to be and considering it’s mine that’s all that matters.

Tell you what, if someone ever (God forbid) breaks into your house, instead of shooting them, just insist on telling them, in excruciating detail about all the stuff you put on your gun. That will easily put them to sleep, and then you can tie them up and call the cops.

And to be honest it annoys me that a place like this which should respect people’s rights to gun ownership in whatever form is swarming with anti-tactical fanatics.

Sorry, chief. I'll defend your right to own a gun, and even defend your right to do that to it, but in the process I reserve my right to make a few good-natured jokes at your expense.

[Dave McCracken]

I'll ask it again. How does it shoot?

[sm]

DTakas,

Allow me to share if I may why some are joking and questioning you.

Shotgun Forum is a bit different in we tend to be more civil, and yes we do respect other shotgun disciplines.

-Some of us have hundreds of thousands of rounds fired thru shotguns, and for some of us - hundreds of thousands of shotgun ammo thru just one shotgun alone!
Example, my '74 Win SX1 well over 200k rds. A 870 Wingmaster in 28 ga, with well over 300k rds.
Some shoot a minimum of 200- 500 shotgun rds a week around here.

- We have Trainers, Instructors as members that actually have served in the Military, LEO, are Published in Magazines such as SWAT and actually train Military and LEO folks. I mean one person has not only submitted articles to SWAT, he was in the Sandbox training our Troops in the Sandbox!

-We have many that served in all sorts of conflicts, some representing other countries I might, add that have been shot , and have shot back with shotguns, and other arms.

-Many of our Members have countless hours of training , including countless hours of training with the likes of Awerbuck, Cain, and many others...including ladies.

-We have Folks that are Champion Shooters, everything from local clubs, to International Champions. From Skeet, Trap, 5 Stand, Sporting Clays, Int'l Skeet, Int'l Trap, 3 Gun to Card shooters, to you name it.

One member - they send a helicopter to get him to train folks. They put him on a plane and he trains Olympic Shooters and others - in the US, and Abroad. He just returned from Europe - to instruct again.

One member runs a Stock 870 pump gun faster than - name any semi - with good hits and has taken championships. Same person has a Choate Extension of 8 rds [IIRC] I sent him, he also knows all about the Saiga, and has taken trophies with it...because he can, he wanted to test the gun, have fun, and he knows it is always the shooter - not the shootin' iron.

-I know folks that are as big as 6'4, solid as rock, can toss a Volkswagon Beetle out of their way...
HD shotgun? A bone stock 870 in 20 ga. Why? Because the petite wife can shoot that gun, and well. Wife has taken classes by a known trainer, has won numerous championships on her own merit in skeet, 5 stand and sporting clays, used to shoot 30k rds a year alone thru one gun.
Why the bone stock 870 20 ga, with a shorter length of pull?

a) a big person can shoot a smaller gun - a smaller person cannot shoot a bigger gun.

b) Holding a shotgun one handed, dialing a phone with the other and waiting for 5 minutes for help is easier. And yes, many folks incorporate that very excercise in training. I do for one.

c) Some folks live in less than kind Pro Gun jurisdictions. It pains us/them to state it might be best if a shotgun was used in a serious situation for the Jury to see a plain vanilla shotgun like one would hunt with, or use for recreational shooting such as skeet.


For instance: There is a known trainer, that was raised in civil unrest , meaning a war, one where one never picked anything off the ground once dropped - things had a tendency to blow up and body parts went every which a way, or killed. He has been/still published in SWAT, his own works, and videos.

He can tell one any and everything about all shotguns - the pros, the cons.
He can fit a shotgun to a shooter, and to shooter's task. He know everything about what it going on in a class - he knows everything going on in the line, he does not miss a thing.

He has no telling how many hours of training himself, how many rounds he has fired, add all the teaching he does...and he will admit when matters are fast and furious, and just even in taking a class, a student will not be able to tell him how many shotgun shells are in the gun if he stops them, or, if a slug or birdshot load.

He will toss the keys to his truck on the range and if you can tell him, how many rounds, and what the one is in the chamber - you get his truck.
Nobody has driven off with his truck .

His Serious Shotgun? Plain Vanilla Double barrel shotgun.

It is the shooter, not the shooting iron.

This Double Barrel breaks down easy for travel thru less Pro Gun states, and for sure those areas where firearms are banned. I understand he has had to mail ahead this gun, as he could not drive thru a area to get to where he was teaching. It is Politically Correct if he had to use it, while in the evidence room at the Police, he does not care if the gun is scratched, gets rusty, or "disappears".

Anyone from a Linebacker sized individual to a 10 year old can opertate this simple Manual of Arms [MOA] shotgun. They can hold it for a long time to cover a threat, be it 2 legged varmit, or 150 # rabid dog. They can dial a phone and call for help...even that 10 year old can hold it while they call, or another person dials the phone, or administers first aid to themselves or another good guy victim, or puts out a fire from BGs gun firing a bullet and starting an electical fire, or similar.

Shotgun Forum has many "camps" if you will.

THR's Mission Statement includes " Responsible Firearm Ownership".

Shotgun forum has folks that have never fired a shotgun, or the ones they have were virtual. We have folks that have never hunted game, only shot clays and 3 gun - and in reverse - never shot game for food, only clays.

Some have only bird hunted, some travel abroad to hunt birds where they take all sorts of birds...like doves, where the pile of doves would fill a backyard swimmng pool.

Some shoot serious "bird games" - Columbaire or Live Pigeons. Meaning you have to be invited and have money, cash money. Besides the entry fee, there are side bets. You only get two shots, to get pigeon, and you have to fell that pigeon inside of a circle [certain yardage] - That one pigeon might cost you $200, or $2000 - There may be $5000 dollars in side bets as well ....hitting the pigeon and it falling beyond the circle - does not count.

Same folks have never hunted deer, or small game like rabbit or squirrels - in reverse, we have folks that shoot nothing buy rabbit, squirrels and deer hunt with a shotgun.

No matter - we do not bash or trash as other forums tend to do - what we Try to do is EDUCATE.

We have members from all over the World. WE have folks that find THR and TFL thru Search Engine Searches - some lurk and never register to become members. Some are Pro Gun, Some are sitting on Fence about Guns, and Some are flat out Gun Haters and want all guns banned.

What perspective does any post reflect on THR? What perspective does anyone receive from any post read on THR, or from Shotgun forum, in regard to "Responsible Firearm Ownership" ?

We also do NOT advocate anything illegal.

THR and TFL are Global Resources - and as stated some are for us, some don't know and making decisons, and some flat out hate us and some of these register to disrupt THR and TFL Mission Statements and Goals.

--

Some of us remember a member now banned. He had a "ultimate shotgun" he argued, and I mean argued "uncivil" against Known Trainers, Known Folks that actually hunt dangerous game - I mean folks having been and continue to go on Safari and this is where Human Beings are NOT at the top of the food chain. Instead the human is hunted as prey, these predators eat humans!

This member was uncivil, he was not receptive to learning from Folks with real life experiences.

--

Oh we have our fun here on THR, and especially in Shotguns. I mean somewhere in Archives there still may be pictures of ...for sure the posts of someone using duct tape to put a $1 flashlight on a single shoot shotgun...or a $500 rifle scope on a single shot .410 . We have some shotguns painted Pink, Purple, Tie-dyed, psychedelic, with stickers from NASCAR to Yosemite Sam.

We drool over a $300,000.00 shotgun - and we get teary eyed seeing a grandpa give his grandson his well worn single shot .410 with the briar scratches on the stock and pitted rust on the barrel.

We all get excited when a new lady shooter joins us, hearing about the first clay they broke, or the first dove they shot. We really get tickled when we hear they took lessons, or attended a class...or "I bought another shotgun today, I have Two Shotguns now! "

We have two types of collectors.
1.Some collect guns of a era, make, model , type, of historical value, sentimenal.

2. Some collect curb feelers, fuzzy dice, and then get a gun to hang all this off of, and post on the Internet.
2a. Some collect and do fun stuff adding stuff to guns to laugh , have fun...some write articles for review, some write satire.

My current HD shotgun is a NEF Youth 20 ga single shot. Why? Real Simple, My giveadamnsbusted.

I don't care! Gimme a shotgun and if I can see it - I will fell it.

Let me explain. I have hit that Pigeon worth all total $12K, a new 'Vette was $300 down, $300 a month for 3 years best recall at the time. I have also missed that Pigeon, worth $5K...I don't even want to type what the side bets added up to be.

I have been in the shootoff - that lasted 5 boxes [5*25 shells per box =125 rds] and this after shooting 100 rds of 12 ga,100 rds 20 ga and pump gun only fun event of 100 rds in one day.

I gots my medals, won my monies, got my trophies, won I forget how many shotguns and other firearm related stuff. I had at one time 11 shotgun shell reloaders up and running...and still had two pallets of Ammo delivered, plus a pallet of reloading supplies.

Gave the medals away, special folks, some were kids dying and "I'll never win medal with this leukemia" - they are buried with a medal. All this "stuff" I gave away, or traded for something else of better value...and then gave away.

When I die, all that is left of me is that which don't burn. I have memories, memories of Mentors and Elders that passed to me, that taught me correct basic fundamentals - My role is to continue passing forward to others - as passed to me.

Memories - 15 bird limit on doves here, I've taken best recall 15 doves with 12 shells from a .410 single shot, and 9 shells with a single shot 28 ga. It was fun, some side bets, sometimes the monies for a kid, or elderly person, or a battered single mom...

Now, I pass forward and have my fun. Some is intructing to select new shooters, some to physically limited shooters. Some is deadly serious.

Tueller Drill. The handgun drill where an attacker can travel 21 steps in less than 1.5 seconds and kill you.

Well I do this with shotguns. I really do not care about a Timer and times, in real life - and I have faced guns and been shot at - there is NO timer .
They said I did the draw from concealment to first shot on Tueller in .8 not long ago *shrug* who cares?

With my bone stock '74 SX1, 28 " barrel from muzzle down, not low ready [ I shoot low gun anyway] I got 3 hits on the Tueller...it was set to "reach me" in 1.2 seconds...I was using slugs, I prefer slugs anyway.

One deal was the NEF 20 ga Youth model with slugs: One "set up" was me coming in and bag of groceries (20# sack) in weak hand, I had not set it down yet, and the Single shot shotgun was muzzle down, action open slug in chamber, hammer down and BG has come in from a back window and has started firing shots to scare me, and yelling he is going to kill me...as he comes down the hall to kitchen...

I got the Tueller, one handed.

I do off the wall "impromtu training" , like shoot skeet from the bed of a moving truck , just keep pulling targets and keep the truck moving...
I like to lob slugs at a paint can out yonder from a single shot .410
I like to shoot moving targets with slugs...yes I / we have save backstops.
If the tennis ball machine is out, I have to shoot the white ones and not get hit by the yellow ones coming directly at me.

I am still a kid and like to replace pellets with popcorn kernals and shoot balloons with the kids and newer shooters. Then we connect the dots to see what monster, or flower, or cloud we can get out it and use colors to make a picture.

HD?

My concerns have always been and always be getting into a dwelling, leaving a dwelling and answering the door.

I CCW in dwellings.

My shotgun inside a dwelling is not going to do me any good if I am outside coming in , or doing yardwork, or heading to College being a returning older student.

UPS, FedEx, Pizza delivery, greeting a friend that showed up out of the blue...kinda awkard to answer a door with a shotgun, got to do something with it as I sign, pay for pizza , shake hands, give a hug or pet a dog.

Concealed is concealed, I do a handgun a lot better than a shotgun or long gun for HD.

I have to survive, hence the " handgun is to get to a long gun" .

I have to get into and out of my vehicle once I arrive to my dwelling, hard to tote a shotgun in public...I mean it would nice with the car jacking and all going on at stop lights, stop signs , in driveways...

Personally - even having fired a few shot gun shells in my day - a Concealed Handgun is easier to manipulate from a vehicle. BTDT.

Just tossing out some additional thoughts is all...

See there are those that had/ have access to things and Professional Thugs kidnap these folks to force them to get them for them. I know all too well - I am one such person.

There are others here on THR/TFL and in the Shotgun Forum that are in the same boat. WE don't care about Zombies...now that fellow in 3 pc suit, and his associate, even lady associate dressed really nice...are what we look out for.
Perhaps the persons "pretending " to be Utility folks checking the meter, or wrong address seeker, or church type knocking on door to invite to a church, or odd phone call about my order come in, my mail went to thier address accross town, ...all sorts of "ploys".

I train my brain to think. I think out of the box a lot! Think like a thief and use what learned from that to beat a thief.


I hope in some way this explains THR ,our sister site TFL as forums. I hope this explains the Shotgun Forum itself THR and TFL have as well.

Like the mans says...

[southernwarrior187]

You guys are nuts. Two side saddles is not enough!

NOW were talking!

 

[Hoppy590]

hes got all those shells on, and what looks like some AR mags with magpullers on his left leg. it thats not tacti-cool i dont know what is

 

[ccwolff]

<--- Not a practical person has no practical friends.

Wow sm that was quite a responce.

But you left one thing out, for some people guns are just toys.
Dangerous toys to be sure but toys none the less and thats it.
Guns themselves are even impractical to some reguardless of what form they are in.

Knocking people who personalise their weapons is like making fun of that guy down the street with that loud muscle car (whats the point stock form is the most practical,right?), or that friend who overclocks his computer to the point that it needs a water cooling system (impractical!) or people who do jobs that need to be done for low or no pay (talk about impractical!).
or(insert your impractical thing here)

Practical.? lol.

Practical is...

Practical is a beat down middle aged man embittered at and so long under the thumb of the system that the rising and setting of the sun serves no other purpose for him then to mark the end to another wasted day of a wasted life.
A life that will hopefully soon be over.

Practical is the cry from a Democrat for equal treatment in a unequal world envrioment, for they both preach a false peace thru conformity.
Practical is waiting your turn in a line headed for a gas chamber.
Practical is filling that chamber full of gas.
Practical people are practically perfect?
Then may a practical God save us from practical people.

Practicality, not consistency, is the hobgoblin of small minds.
What ever the end to humanity may be, let it not be a practical one.

Death is practical, life should not be.










My apologies to any practical people I may have offened,I was not refering to you.

 

[DTakas]

Due to the fact that this thread has de-escalated into nothing more than an argument over personal preference of what a firearm should or should not be between equally stubborn parties, I have decided to remove the original attachments and delete all my previous posts on this topic with the exception of the first one (which I do not have the ability to delete). I do this to preserve my own dignity because at the rate things are going it would not surprise me if some things wind up being said that would be better left unsaid. I would recommend everyone else show the same mature restraint and not continue this argument either.

 

['Card]

making fun of that guy down the street with that loud muscle car

Yeah, I do that too.

DTakas, stop being so thin-skinned. The title of your own thread ("I've Created A Monster!") seemed to imply that you had a sense of humor about the whole thing, but your responses since then have demonstrated that the only thing you wanted to hear was praise and admiration.

This is a forum. When you post things here, people will reply. Sometimes, those replies may not be what you wanted to hear, because sometimes people on forums have different opinions. If your self-esteem isn't adequate to handle being exposed to different opinions, then take my advice and get yourself a blog instead.

 

[USMC_2674]

I want to see the photos.

 

[Correia]

southernwarrior187, that guy in that picture is the owner of 3gun gear. He is a really nice guy, and probably a better shotgun shooter than 99.99% of the people who post in this forum. The reason he has all that stuff on, is because in 3gun, shotgun is all about reloading speeds. We will shoot upwards of 30 shots in one continuous string. Now most of us aren't going to wear all that stuff at one time, but rather you pick your method to reload from.

Steve, I recognize some of those folks from your post. I should take an Awerbuck class using my cheater Saiga with color coded magazines. When that ammo count/type question gets asked, I might end up with a new truck.

DTakas, just relax. Have fun. If you like your gun, that is all that matters. The important thing is that you go out and learn to shoot it good. Once you become good with your choosen weapon system, nobody is going to say anthing about it.

You've got to understand though. There is a real plauge on the internet of people who think they can build or buy skill. It ain't gonna happen. Sometimes you build your "ultimate" gun, that's great, but don't expect hardened shooters to fawn over it. The real shooters care about one thing, results.

And before anybody calls me a hypocrit, yes, that was me that kicked Buckshot Blain's skull in.

 

[sm]

Here is how it plays out...

Makes no nevermind what anyone does - none of my business.

I don't meddle - and I for sure don't want folks meddlin' with me.

Now we have all the aforementioned folks, with all sorts of shotguns, and doing whatever they want with them here on THR and TFL. Applicable to other firearm such as pistol and handguns too.


TFL set the standards for all internet forums, "raised the bar and will continue to " .
THR bore out of TFL, and THR took the challenge to not only meet that raised bar, to also continue to raise that bar in not only as a forum - also in individual members personal lives.

TFL and THR are Global Resources as stated earlier. We have been "attacked" by folks trying to do us harm. WE have had folks "sloppy" , and "lazy" and not even attempt to learn from how THR and TFL does things.

THR and TFL is not a place for Armchair Commandos that learned all they know from Video games AND all they want to do is drag THR/ TFL down to a level of Video Game wannabe forum site elsewhere on the Internet.

Video Games...let me clarify that...

Now we welcome folks to read, do searches and learn. Heck one of our Moderators, is a huge Video Game player...huge in being a fan of and the fact he is really really big physically. Oh, he can shoot, boy can he, and he even teaches and instructs, and is big on RKBA matters and getting his fingernails dirty fighting Tyranny and preserving Freedom.


An ill wind has been blowing, not everyone has been paying attention. Even as I type and folks read - steps are being taken to maintain and insure the Integrity of THR, TFL and other Sister sites are not tainted, and won't be in the future.

Being blunt : Nut cutting time.

THR ,TFL and sister sites are in Condition yellow with red mixed in and we go to condition red really fast.

We welcome new members, we understand being new to a forum and how it takes a bit of getting used to the using the various features and learning personalities best can thru this medium.

Then again THR TFL and sister sites have been "attacked" by new members. Some start out first post, some wait until they have more, but we have been targeted - and I mean a LOT of new members on the same night, in the same hour all register at once to attack us.

Some are sly, and get a feel as to when Moderators or Staff are not on-line, then they hit us.

I am not a Moderator. I'm just a regular member that joined as others did from TFL when THR was first started. I have always been a Rebel, and worked often times alone.

As an invited guest here at THR, and amongst my friends...I do not take kindly to folks hurting or attacking my friends.

There are others like me, NOT moderators. We do not have any controls over anything. In a way, this is an advantage to us.

WE do take care of our own. Heck in this Shotgun Forum - there is a thread that disappeared, disappeared before Dave the Moderator ever saw it, I would imagine only a few actually read it -

I saw it, reported it to a moderator, then contacted more than one Mod at the same time to get it deleted. It was ugly, and vulgar, and that was just the title alone.

I am not the only one doing this...Sheepdogs. We do this in our real lives, we do it on the forums.


Sensitive - yes we are sensitive right now about new members, and postings.
Frankly we are fed up with folks trying to lower our bar - and interfering with us raising it even more.


DTakas,

I am not attacking you, nor is anyone else. THR Rules of Conduct state "one is allowed to attack the post, ask for cites or documentation, ask for clarification... - one is to NEVER attack the member posting.

We had a Moderator ask for credentials recently - the crediblity of said member's posts were "distracting" to THR Mission Statement.

We celebrate June 19 I believe it is, and will have an Anniverasary Party on THR and a bunch of Internet Gun Forums on that date.
That person is in Jail.
See he kept posting illegal activities, posting Uber-Tack-Tickle Guns and Firearms related gear. He kept breaking the rules, he kept getting banned, he kept re-registering under ...I bet he had 50 usernames.

Forum Sheepdogs on the watch , be they regular members or Staff- he would sign up and get banned in a matter of minutes. Oh yeah, we communicate with other Sister sites as well - and let them know "wheelbarrows at the gate".


---DTakas,

Post up your pics, share with us how all this assembled, how and where ordered, how the ordering process went, any problems with it fitting / how easy it all went together.

Share how it shoots, how various loadings pattern, any adjustments you make once you do, or recommendations any tips or tricks like putting electrical tape / hook and loop strips between Side Saddle and Receiver to alleviate any scratches, to assist in staying tighter - even after making lock washers since the aftermarket parts did not come with any.

Educate us, laugh at us, laugh at yourself .

Only one thing around here...not in the Rules...Unwritten rule if you will.

It is reserved for me to tempt, shame, and do everything I can to get folks to handle first, then actually shoot a 28 ga.

Oh yeah sure there is those silly warning I share from time to time -
"Never ever let your wife/ gf/ daughter ...husband/bf/ son shoot a 28 ga shotgun".

Or

"Never ever let Steve take any family , kinfolks or friends shopping for a shotgun, or related supplies".

I don't mean these things...really...reverse psychology, these ding-a-lings around here keep testing the waters and "What happened? Did I just buy a 28 ga? "

*ahem* Not me, I am good boy.

Didn't someone once suggest "you are supposed to collect the whole set".

Sounds good to me.


Yeah try the electrical tape or the fuzzy side of hook and loop on them sidesaddles. Hole punch works great once you mark the spots.


Regards,

Steve

 

[sm]

Larry,

You are supposed to writing a story, not moderating or figuring out how to get a new truck.

I mean you get a truck - the wife is going to end up with it anyway...

Okay, I want to see a pic of Corriea and Awerbuck standing next to each other...

Mr. Awerbuck...sir,
Umm...I am in trouble again huh?
Yeah I know - I ever get to attend your class I am in trouble.

Note to self, take a Awerbuck Class same time as Corriea and hide behind Correia. I am 6' and 170 # pounds, Correia totes that weight in shotgun shells in a pouch...maybe I can hide in Larry's shell pouch.

<insert Kilroy here>

Me looking out of Shell pouch to see if coast is clear. Just my luck Corriea will try to chamber me in a Saiga.

*ahem*

Hey, where else can you have this much fun on the internet, beats TeeVee and Idiot America...


steve

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

Larry, You are supposed to writing a story, not moderating or figuring out how to get a new truck.

OK, how about the time I shot five stand with a 28 ga pump?

"Are you crazy?" "Nope, its all I brought, just having fun".

(Didn't do worth a flip, BTW.)

DTakas, We're just in here having fun. The shotgun forum is probably the least moderated forum on THR. That's because it doesn't need much moderation. Dave has it easy, the posters in here are for the most part, just having fun.

Steve, tell him about the part where you got the stripper's picture in here. Hint: The stripper was a Teddy Bear.

Ease up, this is the SG forum, you are among friends.

 

[sm]

I must be getting old ya'll don't have yell out an answer

Well I "was" speaking of the other Moderator , named Larry , Larry Corriea.

Larry Ashcraft a newer Moderator will do...this guy needs longer legs to keep up with the rest of us at gun shows.
Corriea can just pick up the gun show and take it home.

- Oh yeah, we had a Lola the Stripper in Shotguns, actually she tends to show up often, and most likely will show up in this thread.

Now be careful , Lola is a real close friend of Sadie. Larry Ashcraft's granddaughter, I happed to be Sadie's "Adopted Uncle".

Larry is shooting Sadie's 28 ga shotgun , until Sadie is able to do so herself. I had a hand in picking out this shotgun :understatement smilie:

Sadie is cool and if Sadie says Lola the stripper is cool, Lola is cool.

---

I 'just happened to be' at a range. I also 'just happened to be' close friends with some the folks partcipating. Said range had some "cultured folks" , meaning they had shotguns that cost more than cars, and they had gun cases better than luggage.

I was just gonna watch - then some of my cultured folks with high dollar shotgun ...had an idea to invite to shoot on the skeet range down the way.
The comment was made to "impress and get style points" and they were going to shoot on the field " a bit away from the others.

Yeah this was a person's "back yard", his own private shooting range.

I can do this, I mean my cultured rich friends needed me....

They suggested the invited guest get ears and eyes on, and 'best stand over here".

Black synthetic stock 1100 race gun a buddy built, and it runs flawlessly, and ...well...not sure how one arrives to a skeet field in the UK , but I showed up in the bed of farm truck, blowing blue smoke, and that dent was from where the bull had gotten mad at the truck - going at a pretty good clip, driver runs down this row of teddy's , in which I am using slugs on, then comes back around for me to hit a few moving targets, and ...
Well nobody says you cannot be lead off man and shoot station 1 from the bed of truck with a race gun...do they?

"Meet Steve"

Laughter erupted. Folks all took it in good fun. So we have these cultured folks shooting a black 1100 race gun, and me shooting high dollar guns and one lady, actually got in the truck bed and shot teddy's with this race gun from the bed of the truck.

We had a ball. Went out to eat a few times, from Expensive places I had to dress up and wear a tie, to where they dressed in jeans, and getting a lady to NOT tuck in shirt tail takes some doing.

It is all good.

I used my Citori 3 bbl set, the 28 ga bbls, as well. Total surprise is stepping out with a 32 ga shotgun and sticking it in a Fellows hands then dumping shell in his pouch.

Shotgunners are nice global bunch ..

southernwarrior187, that guy in that picture is the owner of 3gun gear. He is a really nice guy, and probably a better shotgun shooter than 99.99% of the people who post in this forum. The reason he has all that stuff on, is because in 3gun, shotgun is all about reloading speeds. We will shoot upwards of 30 shots in one continuous string. Now most of us aren't going to wear all that stuff at one time, but rather you pick your method to reload from.

I know this, and I have purchased products from them before. They are very nice people to do business with.

But he took the pictures in good humor, and I linked one in good humor.

Cool. I didn't realize you knew him. I'm trying to remember his name, but am drawing a blank. He was one squad behind me at the WC3gun a few years ago. He had some really helpfull commentary about some of my gear, including come compliments on a bandoleer that my wife had designed and sewn for me.

I've seen that picture put up online before, usually by people who don't know anything at all about 3gun, and they would just make fun. "Ooohh. Look at this mall ninja!" kind of stuff.
