    As with all purchases, price will have an impact on interest but I’d definitely like to know more. What sizes and weights are you thinking of making?

    Had my first 10/22 and an old single shot .22 stolen out of my closet. Came home to a kicked open back door and a ransacked house. It was a turning point in my life.
