Hi folks. Been a bit busy at work and with some other toys. My son gave me an M&P 40 for no reason at all so I bought some progressive loading gear and have been going to town. With deer season here...i loaded some .223 deer loads for a friend (not on my progressive,) loaned him one of my rifles, shot a buck with my .308 (also handloaded...i shot .308, he was using the .223 and didn't get one) and bought some wheelweights, melted them into muffin ingots and am gearing up for cast bullets in the .40...with rifle possibilities later...WHEW.
ANNYWAAY....my daughter came over the other night and said...I kid you not..."hey dad, what's that thing you wanted for your gun?" Lol...isn't that a great question? Of course i answered with a question.."which gun?" She answered "something mini..." Lol. No, she's not a shooter. But evidently she picked some things up in conversation over the months.
I answered.."my mini 14?" "YEAH!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!" she replied. LOL....it gets better. "what's a ...a...Stock?" LOL...sorry, still making me chuckle a little. I said...."a stock for my mini 14? that would be a pretty specific thing for me to describe...ummmm...why?"
"well, if I had some credits built up on overstock dot com and wanted to get you one...what would they call it?" Beautiful and loving, but clueless...lol...sorry..still chuckling.
"Honey, I don't think overstock dot come would have it." "well let me at least look...can you write it down?"
Well...long story short, Overstock dot com DOES sell the ATI strikeforce stock. So I am getting pretty stoked about it. It, of course, will "need" paint but i will finally have the adjustable cheek weld i seek and the short LOP I want for some other stuff. I may even "Have to" get an ATI for my 10/22, since my wife's rifle has drawn me in and away from my own.
Also on the list of "needs" a Karsten cheek riser for my two savage edge rifles or at least one to share. I love them...but it is time. Both the .223 and the .308 have been properly initiated by me with a deer, so it's time to make them actually fit perfectly.
Loving my guns. And my daughter. And my son. Okay, and my wife. Life is good.
Gos Bless!
