ec4321 113 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Damn That thing is still living. You should now be required to grant it pardon and find another target. If for no other reason, to see how it goes on despite it's troubled history. EDIT: And water jet it a plaque. Edited April 16, 2013 by ec4321 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flatland Shooter 22 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Shucks, I was hoping to combine some fun with some work but it don't look like I'll be clearing any mesquite with a little lead. Them's tough trees. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I actually do a little yard work with the shotgun We have tons of yuccas here, the roots go down 10 feet or more and they are so tough no mower or blade can touch them. They can ball up a chainsaw in a nano second. I was using the blade on the loader to cut them off, but they just come back. I found shooting them at the base with birdshot cut them off perfect then a little weed be gone poured directly into the root...no more yucca The shotgun is such a useful tool around the house, it works on rattlesnakes, rats and any other type of vermin that may come into the yard uninvited It works well to shoot bird bombs at stray cows that tear down our fences, dogs keep their distance.

imrambi 1 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 And the Jehovah's Witnesses havent been back in years Some people I know own a hunting farm, and have many firearms in safes. There was one day were the owner was cleaning a firearm and had a ring at the door. Assuming it was someone to hunt, the answered the door with gun in hand. The people at the door were Jehovah's Witnesses. Upon seeing the firearm, they quickly left. What do you expect when you visit a hunting club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flatland Shooter 22 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Anybody look under the hood? Always wondered what a slug would do to an engine block but just never had a spare block (or car) to shoot at. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

duggr 13 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I believe all smooth bore 1919 barrels have an I.D. of.729 but I'm not completely positive...If So! you must make sure if you fire a Dixie slug in the MKA that your Cylinder choke measure no tighter than .729 according to the Dixie Website .....My Akdal supplied cylinder choke measures .724 so it would not work with the Dixie Slug but my Tom Cole Saiga Choke thread adapter measures .730 so it would work...http://www.hallowellco.com/bore_size_chart.htm Edited April 17, 2013 by duggr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
