According to my boyfriend, there is no such thing. Especially when you live in Cali, where they keep limiting what you can own. That's his excuse for the last couple ones he's purchased. "But I won't be able to get this a year from now. It'll be banned... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) "

BTW, for those that are interested, 50 cals are a no-no as of Jan 05.

just buy a lower receiver for now and get it registered before next year. You can collect the rest and build at your own pace later.

Hijack over.... back to regularly scheduled OT thread.

Haven't shot one of those yet. It'd probably dislocate my arm!

My weapon of choice is the AR15 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Hmmm, Hobbies, not just where My time seems to slip away to...
I guess that would be amature mechanical work (like Goeff I alway seem to be helping someone else with thier Car or Bike) working on my Homes (yes the deck is coming along nicley thank you) but my main Vice is Roadracing Motorcycles, in which the opertunity to run seems to be becoming less and less frequent as my Children get older (8 & 5) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

First is my family. Wonderful wife, daughter, and one on the way.
By day I'm an investment advisor (fee-only portfolio management)
Next would be 914 repair and modification (the possitive manifold pressure is quite nifty)

Dormant hobbies would include:
flying, scuba, downhill skiing

Semi-active hobbies would be:
fly fishing, mountain-biking, target shooting (benchrest rifle and combat pistol) and falconry

Active list:
914 as stated above
autocross
designing and building custom folding pocketknives (from scratch). This is the most challenging 'work with your hands' task I've ever tackled but it's been very rewarding. I like working with medal and tight tollerances. I must be getting old because any earlier in life an there's no way I'd have the patience for this.
