I think itll be prety cool to see how another gun company runs. im hopeing to get a full tour but well have to see. its a 6 or 7hr ride from where i am and i gota bring my welder with me hopeing to get some decent milage after i get efi live sat.

handcuffs almost always make for a good time! as long as you don't wind up in the grey bar motel by the end of the evening.

So I made it to houlton yesterday around one it was around a seven hr ride. Truck did well filled up before I left and topped off in Bangor. Hand calculated I was getting 19.3mpg at 70mph w a few hundred pound welder in the back. It was well worth getting efi live before I left. The factory's cool but not what I was expecting mostly handcuffs and 22s few 1911s but nothing to exciting.

I have been to the springfield factory for the tour, very cool. I spent some time at the shooting range after. The shooting range is closed tot he public now but the tour is still good enough to make the trip.
