So, yesterday I picked up a Mossberg ATR 100 in .30-06. matte bluing with a black synthetic stock and Bushnell 3x9 scope. I wanted a nice bolt action to make a nice decent tack driver out of (for my skill level without spending $5K on a rifle). I don't compete, just shoot targets. Out of the box...

I've been thinking about getting a new gun for awhile but I wasn't sure if I really felt safe having one like this around the house. I finally figured I should just bite the bullet and pick one up now that I live out in a rural area. With that said, here's my new framing nailer.

It is about 14' long, using aircraft grade spruce for the hull (super light weight). It's hull design is modeled after 1940's hydroplanes and the deck is all Honduran mahogany &...
