Hey Ed, would you say it is also mean-spirited nonsense to Troll crap like this on a gun enthusiast's forum:
if society, via our law makers, deem it necessary to restrict or prohibit our possession of certain classes of arms, then every good citizen should obey the law for the good of the majority.
and if some here wish to discuss further restriction and prohibition of certain classes of arms here, then why not?
as for the gun control issue...we are the only country in the world that seems to tolerate mass murder, in the name of an individual right...its about time that we as a society realize that we are over gunned with too many super dangerous weapons in the hands of too many super dangerous people... it is long past time to do as the rest of the civilized world has done and simply, disarm...
Or does having a one man fan club make you a proud man?
By the way, having fitted a few sets of orphan barrels to guns with missing or damaged barrels, I can say that I totally agree with what Stan said in his first post. But I still think it is worth trying if you can buy a good set reasonably, and evaluate them honestly before screwing up and ruining them. As Brian Dudley says, you can always resell them if they just won't work on your particular gun. And when compared to the extreme cost and hassle of having a new set made from scratch, well, there is no comparison.
