Keep 'em coming, Dolk.

Many of us would like to have just one nicely stocked gun. You seem to come up with one after another. But I know that it isn't easy. It takes real dedication, research, and time to gather the right ones together.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Do you shoot it? (If you don't I almost understand why) If you do how does she group?
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

I'm sorry, I think I messed up your post.

Short answer is ...no, I don't shoot it. It's not because I'm worried about messing it up, after all there were battle rifles and can stand up to the little "abuse" of me shooting them. The real problem is time. I just haven't ever got around to it yet! :oops:
