Thanks Bob. I don’t have that issue. I did try looking it up on the site here but still can’t find it. Ugh.

AG,
Just to set you straight on a point. The sporting rifle barrels are 8 sided octagon shaped. That is the same geometric shape as a stop sign. Hexagons are 6 sided geometric shapes like the individual cells in a bee hive. To my knowledge no gun company ever made hexagons shaped barrels.

Your the best twobit. Always appreciate the lessons, like Calvary lol. I’m sending my post for you to edit for now on cuz nobody will believe typos or auto spell after this one.

That the problem with spell check. As long as you spell it right, it doesn’t care if its the right word.
