Well, I earned my "PPL" in 1973, so if your're equating seniority with authority, as line pilots tend to do, I think I outrank you. I was first employed as a flight instructor / charter pilot in 1975. You want to compete on hours? No way I can beat you there. Corporate pilots only rack up about 500 hrs per year. Your comments still don't take into account the entirety of the thread. And the entirety of your situational awareness, it seems to me.
Yes very nice but subtle you got carried away. I personally thought it was a joke and you were playing us all. I respect your aviation background; me I’m just a lowly Private Pilot. Owned a Cessna 150 for several years and I am also a licensed A&P. I was shooting touch and goes at Republic Airport and the very morning my hero Ronald Reagan fired all the ATC guys and gals that struck. I decided I’d rather fix them than fly them when the skies over Long Island got more restrictive and hectic. I suspect you are an older gent fixed in your ways and determined. Like the one gent suggested put everything down and take a step back! I have to do that with a kit gun I’m trying to build. It’s a preinlet Lancaster just full of surprises. I’ve ran into a lot of issues with it. All of which can be repaired it’s now time to decide if I leave the latest issue be and shape the stock the best I can with help from a few members here. I pm directly. When I first started I contacted one of the senior legends he made a comment to me that I will never forget and that was know wear your going before you begin! Classic! Basically in my case there should have been know surprises I should have checked carefully every inch of the stock every inlet the ramrod hole alignment the necessary tools this way no surprises when you get to a different stage in the build. And no disrespect if you’re an older gent I’m 65 and hope to get a lot older. Don’t let your ego get in the way! Like Bill Raby suggested he said it helps him build his master pieces by talking about what and how he is going to perform his next step. It works and helps keep on the road of where you want to go and not that other place. Stop posting and ask via PM if you need help even guys you pissed of by trying to justify it will still probably offer sound advice. Take a break for a day or so. If you can afford it purchase a second barrel. I have a few SMRs and they shoot lights out. I like them long and would not shorten it! Though that’s your call. Shorting the barrel you will need to probably redo the ramrod pipes ut a new site slot. Think know where you are going.
Hey!! It took a while to sink in, but that's a really great idea!! I could secure the trigger plate with a wood screw through the rear hole going up. No need for a second tang screw coming in from the top and going down. Thanks!!
No. To me it looks beautiful. I couldn't care less what you or the rest of the world thinks about how it looks. It's my opinion of how it looks that matters to me. Your kind of advice I've been getting is the advice that I've not been taking. It's the above post's advice that actually offers something useful to me that I have....So Cut the dam end of the Barrel off it looks stupid as hell
If you love it fine, but before you start filling in the tang inlet in the the stock (guessing that is what you will do), you do know that the tang is easily replaced with one that will fit your stock as originally inlet by Kibler.
That has no relevance to anything whatsoever. Swing and a miss. And with the SA nonsense, stop simply trying to throw more aviation buzzwords at me. It’s not working…
Hah!! One thing you and I can agree on. I'd rather be a brick wall than a sand castle.
... and no doubt a significant portion of Gen. Washington's advisers told him that Christmas of 1776 was no time to cross the Delaware and attack the British.
It's a "DIY" thing.
The correct way to go is to always be true to yourself.
I think I tried that once. It wasn't.
GOOD! ADIOS!
Very resourceful! I'll have to try some of these myself.
