      The powers that be barely know we exist. As to what I’m doing? Totally unrelated, but here’s tonight’s project. $150 fold-down, (legal) sawed off, single-shot 12-gauge.

      • Dropped the trigger pull with the turn of a screw. Gods, worst trigger I ever touched.
      • Cut it down to 18.75"
      • Dabbed the safety with gel nail polish (can’t be too sure!)
      • Found an old recoil pad, threaded it with old leather shoelaces, loaded 5 pads in it (I’m a wuss, and I’m skinny).
      • Got a 6-shell holder off eBay, the kind you screw on the stock. Meh? We’ll see how it works IRL.
      • Glued a spot of fiber on the front sight well.

      Still figuring out a red-dot sight/adapter and some more wood/metal work to make it fold tighter. Should be a solid backpack gun when done.

      On an unrelated note, it shocking the hell you can unload with a single-shot, with very little practice. Also, 12-gauge ammo is stupid cheap. (Did I say that out loud?!)

      On another unrelated note, ordered two more 10-round mags for my AR-15. Hell, Democrats want to make standard 30-round mags illegal? Fine. I prefer 10 and 20 round mags for weight and reliability. Ugh. Force me to buy more reliable and usable gear. The horror…
