I didn't win the Ruger, it was a swap.

Coffinmaker(onewurd),
I know this is a rather personal question... but, what is your barrel length?

You too Abilene...

Storms are from just northeast of Grand Island, about 90 miles out.   Narrow but nasty band that could grow like the other day.  Stretches down to the panhandle corner. 

Rita should be home from a Dr appointment soon and we'll hunker down, her with the TV and me with the the computer, got the wrong cable yesterday, will exchange it tomorrow and will then have my 3 screens.  Bought two 128 Gig flash drives for $21? Going to do back-ups a bit different.  Actually only lost one thing with the move, the doc I had almost done, about 35 pages. Had not run the edit programs or PDFed it.   No idea, everything else in the documents file came back. 

Going to back up everything worth saving on flash drive, store one at my desk and another in my dresser in the bedroom, in a drawer in a box.  Any doc that gets over 5 pages and has edited pictures will be save when done for the day.  WP program up-dated, new spell check sucks, can not find where you can add words it don't know, need to keep looking.  Among many I use every time I write dutch oven it tells me it wrong.  We learned in like 2nd grade you don't have to capitalize general objects like dog or cat.

Rather than worrying about bullets and dies, look for brass. It’s hard to come by. I just got some from Mid South Saturday and was darn glad to get it.  If you see some from a legitimate seller snap it up.

King, I'm not expert on USFAs. I just have several and like and appreciate them very much. I've generally been told the US made parts started taking over in the mid to late 23,000 range and by the 24,000s you could be sure you had a US sourced gun. If that is correct it makes your 22,000 numbered gun a likely Uberti parts gun.This isn't carved in concrete so maybe some one with more authorative information will  chime in shortly.
