It seems one should not cut out the housing to allow for 22 shorts. At least by then I had enough sense to fire it from a vice with a long string.

They avoid getting careless with things that will hurt them. Even after years of posting on public forums, and encountering a fair number of strange people, they know the mathmatical odds of a sociopath actually physical harming them are fairly safe.<br /><Grumpyelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564199754847966303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870648813893729932.post-36703790519636510552011-03-03T14:17:11.095-05:002011-03-03T14:17:11.095-05:00Well, I'm not sure I am going too far down thi...Well, I'm not sure I am going too far down this road.
