Well, not so much "need" as "want to lest I find myself wishing desperately I had someday."<br /><br />Lazy Bike Commuter. You can replace the entire mechanism on the newer/cheaper Mossbergs. Check YouTube for videos. Brownell's has the parts. If you use Tam's link to shop, you can find many if not most of the parts on Amazon.

The grip is much more comfortable than the Rem standard synthetic and it just,well...felt better on my shoulder. I liked it so much I bought the company....just kidding, but I did find the stock In Stock online and ordered one.

It also makes the fiber optice glow in the dark.<br /><br />We shoot a night match every year here in Bowling Green. IDPA scoring and rules, but break the catergories up to include WML and Lasers. Most years we have a rifle/shootgun side match afterwards.<br /><br />I try and shoot the night matches in Henry County and Music City as well. We all need the practice.<br /><br />GerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-9347058350439947972013-03-18T07:48:24.789-04:002013-03-18T07:48:24.789-04:00Wait, "permitted"?

Have you ever thought of striking for Boatswain's Mate? If you succeed in that, you might actually get a Boatswain's warrant, which would give you the right to wield the lash actually, instead of just virtually, and also be allowed to tie the noose, with the thirteen turns in it.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-77640604236636734212013-03-17T23:45:36.549-04:002013-03-17T23:45:36.549-04:00I'd like to hear about how different mounting ...I'd like to hear about how different mounting solutions work, too, especially after being fired. I've been wanting to add light to my HD shotgun but not sure how yet. The reviews I've read so far haven't been too encouraging (mounts breaking/moving, lights failing/moving/flying off). I'll admit it, I'm not a great shot with a shotgun, and the light will be somewhat of am aiming device/aid and would like it to be somewhat consistent from shot to shot.

I have another one where the rod's as long, but the weight is attached at one end rather than the middle, and I raise and lower it with one wrist like I'm lowering a worm into the water on a bamboo pole...<br /><br />...or at least I did.
