    I do wonder if he did so deliberately, knowing what the slang term stood for. Or if he didn't have a clue what the slang term meant.

    I killed a turkey and critically injured my windshield when I used my truck hood as a quick rest for the shot. The Hakim has very forceful ejection and muzzle blast to match! I've owned 3 over the years and all were excellent shooters. It's funny to hand one to someone and watch them puzzle over how to work it. Bump for the Egyptian Loudenboomer!

    .................The barrel on this is Mirror bright, to answer a a couple PM's I got. I also slugged the barrel and it is .313 x 3235". I also forgot to mention that I have a 'New' unissued & complete barrel gastap (unblued, and gas hole undrilled) that also goes along with it.

    Thank goodness! Now if the 1891 sells I'll stay out of trouble for a day or two.
