    Black Beauty gets a Makeover

    I've decided to keep Black Beauty as no opportunity has arisen to pass her on.

    The main things that had me keeping her in the safe have been fixed...

    Barrel shortened
    Stock shortened
    SSRNZ Suppresser
    Talley rings
    Adjusted trigger

    Need a new bipod, few other bits but things are looking very good

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Yeah. They can tend to do that.

    Completely safe fighting words.. even if an enraged 243 owner somehow managed to fluke a hit at a range beyond 17 yards, we know the .243 projectile is predisposed to bouncing off the skin and disappearing off to sulk.

    Somewhat offensive talk.

    I'll set you on your arse. It's too long a drive to be standing up.
