Strip Wallpaper or...

Install a VQ target sear and trigger in your MKII? I chose messing with the MKII. Not having a mag disconnect makes getting the hammer back in a touch easier.

Sorry about the yellow spots, I'm not allowed to use anything but my reloading (ink) towels.

Maybe I should have opted for the wallpaper. Dinner in the greener household was cold shoulder and hot tongue served in a very rare style.

Got rid of all my life insurance and the one who sues for divorce has to take the kids. :lol:

Besides that, I just put my foot down...on the bottom rung of the ladder.

Fellow that I used to work with got mqqarried in Korea and brought the sweet young lady bback to the states and she got liberated. If he came home from work a little late he had cold rice and karate chops for supper. He said the cold rice was not bad but the Karate chop hurt rally bad.

Large calibre, double action only paper. The first rounds in the magazine (vinyl) fired with some scatter, but with reasonably tight groups. Following rounds (paper) was subject to scatter, jamming and didn't group well. I've decided that the sights used, while generally good, were not suitable for punching holes in paper and that a change in lubricant was in order. Not wanting to reinforce bad stance, grip and sighting problems, I decided to wait until I had the proper paper-cutting sights and lube. I did however, soak the removal mechanism in some lubricant.

The judges were not impressed with my stance, follow-through or consistency, but have indicated that more practice would be acceptable before the next match.

The only thing your SS Mark II needs now is a Ranch Products magazine release.

If you don't mind sleeping with one eye open then ignore the honey-do list. Otherwise, studying up on removing/hanging wallpaper is probably in order. :shock:

I might be able to do one by stealth in the dark of night. Looks like a good addition to the MKII.

It is only a removal project. The only wallpaper installation project I've done was when I mistakenly decided to remove the glued-on, rubber backed carpet from kitchen walls in a house in Michigan, instead of ripping out the drywall and starting over. I ended up skimcoating the walls and using wall paper to hide my sins.

That is why I used a hopper fed texture gun and then a knockdown trowel to place a nice California style drywall texture. This process hides a lot of sins.

I didn't and paid dearly for the folly.

Hey, Rob, needed to some drywall work done in my bathroom a few years ago so I started on the project and it became quite radical. The I did the intelligent thing and hired some one younger, witha helper and who knew what he was doing, worked out great in the end. As we get older we get wiser, at least we are supposed to. :lol:

I've never been successfully accused of getting wiser with age. :D If I've learned anything, it is that you don't have to get it done yesterday. I also won't get my priorities out of order: fishing show and sale this weekend, testing the upgrade on the MKII, checking my latest attempt at reloading 9mm.
