The base can be pretty easily contoured to fit most tangs, depending on style.

Thanks, I bookmarked that.

I heard that from my mom, Bullseye. She was dead set against me having a BB gun. The .22 was just fine, but I'd shoot my eye out with a BB gun.

Favorite "Mothers opinions" I heard the same thing.

I figured this time of year was appropriate for that little comment with the 24 hour marathon coming up soon.

In my case it was my Father who delivered the message. When I lusted for the BB gun he gave me the "speech", but softened the blow by presenting me with a sweet Remington bolt action 22 cal repeater On the subject of the old Daisy lever action BB guns my remembered experience with one was shooting a friends and neglecting to close the lever. I was certain that three of my fingers were broken

Even worse when you do that on a cold winter day in snow country.

Damn!!!!!, that would smart intensely

I have that memory etched deeply into my memory from when I was a very young lad. When it happened it felt like my fingers swelled to several times their size. Of course everything is amplified when you add extreme cold to the temperature.

I can still recall instant "snotsicles" when taking a deep breath through my nose in January when the temps dipped below zero. It's like an instant "brain freeze" but without the flavorful taste of a tall frosty cherry Slurpee.

That's one memory that will not be soon forgotten. Now I think that is one that has to be experienced, for it to be embedded into our hard heads (when we were young).

This thread has drifted a little, from Rimfire to BB's.
