Randy Cain of RD Precision. He does some of the best rifle work you'll find anywhere at very reasonable prices.

Shoots THAT good and you can't hit center??

His name is Matt. He did my rifle also.

Thanx. Was over 3 years ago. I've slept since then.

Can't speak for the rest of this gentleman's skills, or lack thereof, but Cerakoting is not riflesmithing. That is like comparing the guy that does mobile auto detailing to someone building a top fuel dragster engine.

If he can't do something easy, you'd trust him with something that takes more precision?

adjective, shoddier, shoddiest.

Cerakoting is anything but "easy". It is a huge pain in the *** to apply and get it right. It is a bigger pain in the *** to fix small f^^kups. It is also not gunsmithing by any stretch. It is cosmetic bling-bling. The comparison is apples to Toyotas.

People really value the opinion of illiterates.

It's a stretch to call the occasional misspelling illiteracy. This is just something people do when they write out a word that they know quite well but have never seen it in print. There are worse sins in common online posts. I let them go. For example, if I had a nickle for every person who doesn't know the difference between its and it's, or then and than... well, I'd have a lot of nickles for certain. I won't disrupt the flow of a thread over that kind of stuff though.

Or when people express scope zoom as "3x9". LOL "3 by 9"??? It's a range. Should be hyphenated, or more formally, separated by "to". What would they think if they called a store to ask about business hours (assuming anyone ever does this anymore), and a voice told you "Our normal hours are 8 AM by 6 PM"? "Huh??" But I let this stuff go too, shaking my head. I guess not everyone's a writer. They're getting their point across.

But I admit, there is only so much misuse of terminology I can take. Drives me nuts when people call a manual-loading AR/MSR a "single-shot" or "single-action". Learn a little more about firearms people. Those terms have been in use for other things for over 150 years.

I'll admit, I was going to post something similar to teh "spelling nazi"... and I talked myself out of it... teh effort took a few minutes.

In teh end, what really did it was my knowledge that I have suffered teh slings and teh arrows of someone who liked to make fun of a particular typo that has been teh bane of my Internet existence.

I'll see if any of you have teh faintest idea of teh problem.

Nicely done. The common transposition of letters....

I see "ect." a lot. Etc. is short for "et cetera". Latin for "and the rest". But people get it close enough for Gov't work.
