It's pretty cool to see what a little Yankee ingenuity can come up with, but we will likely spend the cash on the bling-bling version, since it will be in our kitchen and used regularly.<br /><br />I have not purchased the Persuader yet, as I am in the process of finishing a side job (editing gig), which will cover it. I am editing a book on saints and buying guns and ammo with the money. Go figure.<br /><br />I am all about ammo on the gun, especially for grab and go. The Maverick has the butt stock carrier. I believe I can install a tacstar saddle on it, but I am not sure about the one for Mesa tactical. The Persuader will have both buttstock sleeve and a side carrier, and possibly a harness bandolier just because. <br /><br />A well appointed shotgun is a thing to behold.<br /><br />BTW, who makes a good bandolier? Any recommendations? <br /><br />Your new SxS sounds awesome. I love the simplicity of that setup. There's something sublime about a homeowner with a two-barrelled blaster. Is yours new or an antique? My next-door neighbor is all about the antique side by sides. Intimidating as hell. His gun safe is overflowing with long arm goodness. Not sure if he has a lot of ammo though.<br /><br />17% takes skill. Maybe we should put together our own quiz. That would be fun.<br /><br />--Nick-DogNick-doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08482416085611572221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106494.post-69935062245302933822010-02-26T08:42:01.875-05:002010-02-26T08:42:01.875-05:00On the Berkey water filter- you might consider a D...On the Berkey water filter- you might consider a DIY version if you like money and don't care to give it to others... http://www.alpharubicon.com/kids/homemadeberkeydaire.htm<br /><br />Did you get the Mossberg Persuader yet? The bandoliers are great, and at $5 or $6 you may as well get two or three. The real priority if you ask me though, is onboard ammo. Clint Smith says "you will fight with what is IN and ON the gun." I like the look of the carriers made by Mesa Tactical, but even an elastic buttcuff is something. I am going to pick one up real soon for the new double, as that is currently the gun that is filling the HD role around here pending actually shelling out the cash for a new barrel on the Mossberg.<br />Also, I resemble the Mall Ninja remark. When I game it I've been able to get my score as low as 17%, and that is while I have HK's website open in another window.Martin Schaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141636305952858816noreply@blogger.com
