That was fast....considering your other gun related orders. The pin piece end looks narrow and perhaps shaped already to correct dimensions too. How does it fit?

Protrudes OK from the block but I am not going to fit it until Monday because we are going round to my pals for drinks tomorrow and I wanted to show him the difference, :roll:

Are you going to strap it to a tree and put a long leash on the trigger and test fire it from a distance with real ammo to see what happens? Or are you confident enough to put that stock right up to your cheek and pull the trigger with your finger? :loco:

Yes, they were fun, although I think my wife drove them more than I did.
I remember that I sat so low that I was at eye level with the lug nuts on a semi.....
Kind of a odd feeling.. :shock: .. when doing 75mph on the freeway.
