Next time bring various other guns and school them on semi vs revolver, pump vs auto vs break open, b...

Re: #1 1/2 Rolling Block Cadet
Straight or pistol on the rolling blocks are both pleasing to my eye. The pistol grip isn't really a pistol grip as the angle of the grip doesn't have a huge change, its just a straight grip with a lump of wood below your pinky. That lump has character if shaped correctly.

Re: Aluminum receivers
In 410 aluminum should not be an issue, 10-12,000 psi aluminum can easily contain.
