I am beginning to think this may be the best option as the wife isn't crazy about me building this into the wall (she likes to move furniture weekly almost haha). I just didn't want to spend much money on one. I may just build a nice solid freestanding bench out of wood and paint it. I would probably use MDF for the top as I have a nice big sheet of it at home.   Can anyone recommend what I could possibly coat the top with that would provide a nice work surface? It would have to be something relatively thick that the MDF wouldn't completely soak up.

I am thinking rather than using a pre made bracket like I posted above I may just get a 2x12 and cut it length ways about 20" then cut an angle on it to make it look good. I figure if the countert ops come pre cut at 2ft deep then 20" of support will be plenty. I can then round the edges off and paint it to look pre made.

Upon looking a little online something like this would be nice. Just need to figure out of it will hold something about 2 ft deep. It is only 7.3" deep. Any thoughts on that?   A pre made wood bracket would definitely fit the bill and be easy.

Those look nice but probably wouldn't fit what I am looking to do. I am basically going for a flat open area with a solid "built in" look. I am basically just trying to figure out the best way to anchor it to the wall for the best support and still look good.   Thanks for the link though.

Hey guys. I am looking for some advice, tips, and/or pics if anyone has them. I am planning on building a workbench/desk onto the wall in the corner of my unused bedroom. I am wanting to do the top in formica or whatever countertop material lowes may have. I want it to look semi professional and nice because I want it to be able to double as a desk if the room is ever used for a bedroom. I won't be using it for any reloading or anything. Just cleaning guns, working on guns, electronics stuff, soldering, etc. It will only be about 4 or 5 foot long.   I am just looking for ideas on how to hang it and still make it look decent. It will basically be a straight piece that will run from the center of one wall into a corner. I don't care to have any storage underneath as I want to be able to have plenty of leg room. I will be doing corner shelves for storage.   Again keep in mind this will be inside the house in a bedroom so I am wanting it to look decent. We will have to paint whatever is suggested other than the counter top surface. Thanks!

Well the governor might finally be falling in line with the comic book version. I hope Tyrese and Rick follow suit. I am liking where they are taking Rick's character but at some point I hope they back off of the crazy a little. I think he is losing some relevance in the show by being a little too crazy and over the top. That worked in the comics because they had "time" in each issue to play it all out correctly.

So did anyone click the link in the article about the study labeling what I would call patriotic Americans? If that is actually true that is crazy!! Who do these people think they are!!

You could have sold that round for at least five bucks in the walmart parking lot. :rofl:

Wow... I feel like I need a hug now or something. :rofl:

Not yet but for $12 shipped I couldn't pass up the chance. :pleased:  I may very well end up putting the original stock on it. It would just be really nice for the overall length to be about 28" long as opposed to whatever it is now. I am thinking with some reduced power HD loads it would be manageable and a lot more maneuverable. What do I know though. I might end up with a fun $12 toy to try and hit skeet with from the hip.   I don't know much about these shotguns other than they were only imported from Brazil for about 2 years by Magtech. They are made by CBC. The fit and finish is on the low side but it seems like a reliable, solid gun.

Well they have lots of nice stuff but it doesn't look like any of it will fit this gun. It look's like unless I get an extended mag tube I am out of luck. I know some models of this gun had a longer tube but they cannot be found online. The only parts I could find were on numrich and that was extra barrels or the pistol grip I ordered.

I am 26 and I will say if I did not watch the history channel or channel 10 I wouldn't know much about the civil war other than there were slaves and now there aren't. It just wasn't taught in my school.

I do have a question for you folks. I found a pistol grip for this online and will be ordering it but I am also interested in mounting some type of light on it. Since it does not have an extended tube on it how can I go about doing this? I am not familiar with tactical shotguns at all so treat me like a newb.

Well I had this magtech 586 12 gauge that was just too front heavy for me to hunt with so I decided to cut the barrel down to 18.5". We did it last night with a band saw and it turned out real nice. All that I have left to do now is put a little cold blue on the front of the barrel and either tap for the front sight or buy a stick on. I also have some surface rust spots I need to take care of due to a lot of neglect from the previous owner. Wonder if I can still bird hunt with it?? :pleased: [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/502/photohmv.jpg/][/URL] Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL]

Especially not with video evidence like that.

That was awesome........for about 3 seconds. Then gravity showed up; and destruction; and regret; and finally the insurance agent.

Welcome man! If you ever want to meet up at Range USA I will be glad to let you shoot the few guns I have as well as answer any questions you have or show you a few things. I don't proclaim to be a tacticall mall ninja know it all but I have taken a few classes and would be more than happy to help a newcomer get started. PM me if you want my contact info.   Also I'd be willing to bet with the flood of new gun owners in the recent weeks that they may have had to screen folks a little more to make sure everyone stays safe. They are good folks there from what I have seen. Don't let that one time discourage you.

Pretty cool article! My mother and my wife have both been victims of bank robberies and I have wanted to do that very same thing. In my mother's case the bank president shot the guy in the butt as he was exiting the back door.

Spots if you will just write my name in print on the sheath when you get it. No use in mailing it back since I forgot to sign it. Should have read the instructions better. My handwriting is bad so just jump up and down when you write it and it will be close enough haha.

Well I know CK is still alive as he pm'ed me to other day about a gun listing I have on here. :pleased:

Looks like dropbox may be the way to go.

This thing hasn't got lost has it?

I don't know how you would lock the email app but I am experimenting with ibooks and adobe reader right now to make sure it is actually saving the files permanently. It seems to be but surely there has to be some way to actually see what all is saved on the phone. I am looking into a third party "files" type app like android has.

I usually just email text documents to myself and open/save them on the iphone that way. I'm sure there is a way to sync but I can't figure it out until I get home.   Someone should be along shortly to say how the Android OS will be superior in this aspect. :rofl:

Also I think it would be cool to maybe get a thread started that would kind of stock pile all of this info in one location so we could all share this stuff. I will be doing this tonight with my spare. :pleased:   I think I will actually do it with my every day phone though. You never know when you may need some of this info and I have a 32GB model so I have plenty of room.
