Book review: Hatcher's Notebook, from Stackpole Publishing

Because it's Holy or because it's a metaphor ?
It's one of those guns I have always wanted, and actively looked for one when I had the funds.
Lifelong search = grail gun
Mine's a 1928 A1 < $10,000. Fat chance.
No fair posting teaser pictures. Give us more. Pronto.
I'm almost over the grinning thing...
A post will be coming, probably on the notion of 'Grail Guns'. Interesting term, and has a real meaning for some shooters.
Good high number. Safe to shoot. Now, pictures and a range report in the near future?
I hate you with a passion that would melt the sun, not because i want a 03-A3 so bad it hurts and keeps me up at night, not thats not it at all.
Congrats hope it shoots as nice as it looks.
