A man has to know his limitations.....
« on: November 14, 2004, 12:17:36 PM »
I was watching Dirty Harry today, wife actually picked(!)--nothing else on, and got to thinking that I need to take a small loss rather than a large one.

Awhile back I bought a SxS off the wire and got what I paid for.  The stock has a very small crack on the left side (they said it did) and I figured I could use some CA (super glue) and do a quick refinish and be done.  That part is true enough, BUT...

Turns out this little beauty is a STAR from Spain and is rough to put it mildly.  Probably could make it work but right now time is something I'm in short supply.  I figured it would be a good project gun but as Harry said about a man.....

So am going to put it back together and take it to the next club match and offer it for less than I paid just to get rid of it.  Figure if nothing else it will be a good (bad?) lesson for me.  

I ordered a 99 from Coyote Cap and if they and my FFL and I can ever get together about where it is I'll be all set.  

Life is full of learning experiences--it's just most of them are painful, expensive or both :?

Hi, Cheyenne!  :D
I got my 99WCSE from Cap last week, and shot it at Oakwood yesterday. You're gonna like that shotgun!

Actually I saw Lorelei's and have one on order.  If I'm lucky it will be here by this week-end.
