Unboxed @p_ham 's handiwork this morning...superior craftsmanship, fair, and a great fellow to do business with, long distance or otherwise. The bead blast is a soft gray, goes nicely with the darker stain laminate. Bare lever no longer bites, cycles smoothly w/ lever operation down from 5.75 lbs to about 4.5. Trigger pull @3lbs. Totally pleased with this little big hogstopper.

*Edit to add: Slimmed foreend and removed all checkering, deleted punch safety.

Sweet, have you fired it yet? Is it loud?
No, Is It Loud. Loud, not cowed.
I'm asking IF ITS LOUD!

I have the same machine on my desk at work. Sometimes it’s just easier to spot check margins and such with the old school machine.

I’m ok with the adding machine, but seeing the ASI on his desk instantly had me wondering “what new hell did those idiots come up with now.”
