Well, here are 2 of my early Christmas presents - one from me to me and the other from my significant other. From me to me is a Seiko Kinetic GMT. I love 4-hand watches and this is clearly Seiko's homage to the Rolex Explorer with its white face, fixed 24-hour bezel, and orange pointer hand...
Well, both of the guns are Italian so they needed Italian names. Marcello means "like a hammer" but also has an elegance to it that fits the Caesar Guerini. And Vittorio means "Conqueror" and, no kidding, the Velocity is a serious claysmasher. Destroys clays with 12 gauge fury (we're talking...
Here's my two babies.
This is the Caesar Guerini. The top is one from their web page. Mine is in my hands in other pic. His name is Marcello.
This is the FABARM XLR5 Velocity. This one's a real clay smasher! His name is Vittorio.
One of the most fun sporting clays experiences I've had was at Delmarva. We had a trapper AND they have mechanical, spring loaded traps. He would secretly send out a pair (standard & mini) or send an orange and black bird and call which one to shoot first. Incredible fun and my favorite...
I shoot a fair bit of clays and don't think I've ever met any of the "dressage people" you mention, but I'm sure they're out there. People "with means" can afford the best. I'm not going to hold that against them. It's more important to me that they're supporting the sport so people without a...
Nope. Peels right off. It's squishy...sorta like a gummy bear! Actually, this is a cool accessory to raise your cheek up a little bit.

I'm pretty sure they'd help you fit any gun. My concern might be that the work you would like done could very well cost more than the gun is worth. Just a consideration. But it may turn out that you don't need that much done to make it fit you. Never hurts to get a professional evaluation.
Here's my idea of high end. Kolar Max Skeet. 12 gauge barrel set; 12 gauge carrier barrels; 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore barrel tube sets; fitted Americase. Made in Racine, Wisconsin. With this engraving and wood....about $25k. Gonna own one some day. It'll be my last gun.
:thumbsup:
I have the BPS 28 gauge Hunter. I needed a little extra LOP so I had a thicker Kick-Eez butt pad put on it. Beretta makes a really nice gel cheek pad that also raises the comb height a bit. Fun gun to shoot. Quick and swings nice. Smooth as silk and I've run a fair number of 25...
I understand what you're saying, but a guy showed me a trick for the BPS. When you're on the line waiting your turn, hold the BPS upside down with the action open. Use your thumb to slightly push the pump a little forward until the "forks" drop inside the chamber. When it's your turn drop a...
Like anywhere, there's no such thing as perfect conditions. My dealings have always been with either the Bart brothers, their manager Al, or the gunsmith Tom. There are, however, a few employees in there that I don't like at all. They're frankly jerks and are on the non-shotgun side of the store.
From what I was told, Jack Bart was essentially CG's first customer - at least in MD. Jack took a big chance and bought several guns out of the trunk of Wes Lang's car when he was starting out. And, yes, the CG and FABARM guns that Jack sells in his shop are all hand-picked. One of Jack's...
Rennaissance Wax is awesome! I've used it on guns, as well as when I collected 19th century cameras. I also volunteered at the Smithsonian for a few years and they use it extensively on metal and plastic objects. I believe it's used exclusively on their vast gun collection.
Awesome stuff. Just...
I own one. Bought it for myself 2 years ago (for my 50th birthday) when it had just come out.
Here's the thread from then: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=84166
So I've been shooting it for about 2 years. Bottom line is that I believe it to be the best semi-auto I've ever shot...
The knife I find in my jeans more often than not is my Bradley Mayhem - which is made for them by Benchmade. I love this knife!
After that, when I want something smaller, I've been carrying a Tidiout American Jack with burnt orange bone scales. Just a classy little pocket knife that is sharp...
@ rico903:
An option for you might be the Gracoil system. It's an adjustable butt plate with a built-in recoil tensioning system that's adjustable. Would cost a few hundred with installation but if it could get you out shooting again it might be worth it.

Interesting conversation. As a serious clay shooter, here are my opinions and observations.
1. Unsafe asshats are everywhere and often don't think rules should apply to them. I've seen it at EVERY range I've ever gone to. That said, I'm not certain in this case that PG's staff understands their...
