Congrats Laniko! Outstanding!

I've read some good reviews on it, as well, for what it is. It seems to be well-built, and more importantly safe. A good can-plinker and best of all...PINK!

WSimons wrote:Strider67, I'm not trying to bash your suggestion at all; in fact, I think for what it is, the Cricketts are fine little beginner rifles. They're surprisingly reliable and dirt-cheap most places.
Only drawback is that it'll be outgrown pretty quickly, but in all likelihood, won't last quite that long.

No bash taken, my friend. I do realize that she will get limited use from it; but the memories (as well as the fact she will be learning proper and safe gun handling from a very early age) have value for me, with her, that no amount of money can buy...

Just wait until she figures out she needs a matching holster as well!

That's pure greatness! I have a 6 yr old daughter who I bet Santa is bringing a pink, youth model, Crickett .22 for Christmas. May want to check them out...

Y'all have a happy Thanksgiving

Just received the mail for the day and had a nice piece of plastic from the state in there for me.

Excellent! I called Uncle Rick earlier and...I mean, Congrats!

Hang in there guys (and gals) more plastic coming to a mailbox near you...

It is irritating to me that it showed mailed on 11/8, and I would even give them the benefit of the doubt that it didn't actually go to the post office until 11/9, but I still can't believe that, even with a holiday thrown in there, that I didn't receive it on Saturday, 11/12, much less yesterday, 11/14.

Supposedly they go out in big batches, I'm assuming on Fridays, from other timelines... It took mine 5 days to get to me after it showed mailed. I won't guess anymore, just good luck!

No luck here either.

I feel terrible! It's all my fault! I forgot to take into account that Friday set us one day back.

You will get it tomorrow, you will get it tomorrow, you will...

Rocstar wrote: Obviously, didn't get any mail on Friday. But didn't get anything on Thursday or Saturday either. Highly unusual. Not even a piece of junk mail. So I have my doubts that they even worked those days.

They were probably planning for their Friday on Thursday, and recovering from their Friday on Saturday!

Good luck on Monday. If you're timetable is anything like mine was, Monday should be the day,,,

I checked mine on Sunday morning; after church; early, mid, and late afternoon; early and late evening; and at night before I went to bed! And still never got a dog-gone update on a Sunday!

Even with the wait, it will be here before you know it.

And welcome to all of the new members! Lots of good reading here to keep you occupied while you wait...
