    2020 REALITIES…. 

     
    1.     The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.  
    2.    I was so bored I called Jake from State Farm just to talk to someone.    
    4.     The world has turned upside down .  Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors! 
    5.    This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her dog.  It was obvious she thought her dog understood her.   I came into my house & told my cat.  We laughed a lot . 
    6.    Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit.   Pajamas are liars.
    7.   Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands? 
    8.   This virus has done what no woman has been able to do.   Cancel sports, shut down all bars & keep men at home! 
    9.    I never thought the comment, “I wouldn't touch him/her/it with a 6-foot pole” would become a national policy,.
    10.  I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator. 
            11.  I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to the      Backyard.   I’m getting tired of the Living Room . 
           12.  "The curve is flattening so we can return to normal” is like saying:“
    The parachute has slowed our rate of descent, so we can take it off now .”   
          13.  Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller wearing a mask & asking for money. 
    14.   The spread of COVID-19 is based on 2 things
              1. How dense the population is.
              2. How dense the population is.

    This is first post that I've ever seen from someone who owned a USFA Lighting.   Can you give us a rundown of it?

    Mine was ser# 2100, second one they built, first one sold to the public. That was according to them, I asked.

    You know what people say "never buy the first of anything", well turns out there is a good reason for that. It never ran right, sent it back 3 times and it never got better. Several people on the wire had them back then and I don't remember anyone liking theirs. Fit and finish was excellent, would have made a great wall hanger or collectors piece. Jammed at every stage.

    Lastly, barrel length is important to help steady a Lightning - where the hand working the action is also the steadying hand. I have a Pedersoli Lightning carbine (20"), a 24", and a 26" Octagon and the 26" is far steadier and can run really fast. It is very much worth the extra weight.

    I had a USFA with a 26" barrel. With your hand almost at the receiver you have 2 foot of barrel out front, hard to start the swing to the next target, hard to stop when you got there, and that was the least annoying problem that gun had.

    >Length of the barrel does not matter, under 26''OAL, no stock = pistol , shoulder stock any barrel length = rifle<

     

    Rifle barrel has to be 16" or longer.

     

    Really. It does. Look it up.

     

    You put a shoulder stock on a pistol with a barrel shorter than 16" and you have committed a federal felony good for ten years in Club Fed and a quarter-million dollar fine.

     

    But if it makes you happy, go ahead and put a stock on your 4 3/4" SAA. It's your life.

    You are absolutely correct, if you have a barrel less than 16'' and a shoulder stock it is a short barrel rifle, no NFA paper work , big trouble. You also seem to be missing my point, you can change a pistol to a rifle ( add stock and barrel over 16") and than change it back. Lets use an AR15 pistol as an example. If it was originally built as a pistol, pistol buffer and barrel shorter than 16", you can put a 16" upper on it than change out the pistol buffer for a shoulder stock and make it a rifle. If it came from the factory as a rifle you can not turn it into a pistol.
