A friend of mine who is still an active duty Marine just stopped by the house on his way to hunt deer. He told me an interesting story about how he was sighting in his brand new Rossi .243 yesterday after putting a scope on it and how it malfuntioned "5 or more" times out of a box of 20 rounds. He has the adult model, while my son has the youth model. He didn't even have the hammer extender in place and he was still getting light strikes. He spent the 2 hour drive here from Quantico teaching his son how to recock the weapon without moving his head, in case the deer don't run away when they hear a click. I thought maybe my gun was an isolated incident, but it's starting to sound like a trend. If I can weld his barrel and my barrel together... maybe I'll finally get that tomato stake I've always wanted. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
