The more I think about it, I think i'm going to buy a stock gun, replace what I want as time and money allows and then i'll still have all of the parts (minus receiver) to rebuild a gun for my son in a few years. It'll be more expensive now but probably makes the most sense. Looks like I could get a...

Nicely Done! Thanks for the reports and tips! Apparently I suck at this, which I already knew. I hate jigging. I really do.

I'll likely have more questions on the barrel when the times comes.

Can't complain about my 2018 much either. Hunting sucked but that's nothing new given the amount of time I have to hunt anymore. Watching my son turn one and I have a great wife. Financially we're doing just fine and considering the rain we had, our crop yields were pretty dang good. Don't think 201...
