Re: Let’s talk about shotguns for serious use.
I'm not much of a shotgun guy. I'll use em if I have to, but if I can figure a way around it, I won't. Partridge is all I really use them for. I've never kept one for home defense or in my vehicles. I always opted for handguns and short carbines. I do realize, however, I'm standing all alone on my s...

Re: Chairmen of the Politically Incorrect
Being the closest Americans to you, we call em spuds too. And fish and chips is a thing here. Cause we got lots of fish, and Maine is second only to Idaho as a potato producer. Up in "the county" there are huge...I mean huge, potato farms. They let the schools out very year for harvest time.

Nice work Griff. There's no doubt the lifespan is reduced with the Wolff mainspring. I haven't had an issue, but mine see way less action than yours for sure.
