All you should have to change are the barrel assembly and bolt group. Both the RH and LH versions use the same lower receiver.

Due to excessive spamming, !pod has been added to the filters here. Unfortunately, this includes b!pod as well. Meanwhile, we still get plenty of spam.

Didn't Richard Simmons say that on "Sweatin' to the Oldies"?

When she stepped out into the path I could have sworn she flashed a pearl handled .45 grip, .....just for an instant. It was like I saw it, and then again, I didn't. My instincts and hours of tactical training took full control of me. It was like I was on full auto-pilot. Outside of myself, looking upon myself, in full 1080P with 7.1 surround sound. A spectator and a participant. BOOM-BOOM..BOOM......BOOM Armed or not, this was one dangerous b|tch, and the world is just a bit safer today without her. /end mocking

One more point, truckcop. This deer would have more than likely expired quickly from the first shot, but I wanted to make darned sure she went down as quickly as possible, to ensure recovery and to minimize her suffering. I have killed scores of deer and I know when they can be killed and when to hold off. This deer could be killed with little trouble, and she was. Compared to being shot in the gut by an arrow that missed its mark by a couple inches, this kill was as ethical was it any. And yeah, it was fun.

I sometimes hunt deer with the hounds around here. We say, "If it's not barking, shoot it!"

Do these ethics apply to flies, ants, roaches, mice, skunks. as well? I always find it humorous that the more "noble" and "majestic" an animal is, the more ethically we're supposed to be when killing it. Particularly fun when the duck hunting gentlemen feel the need to shoo the ducks into the air before killing them. Water swatting is so barbaric and coon-ass. How do ethics apply in turning an easy stationary target into a moving one for a cleaner kill? Would you shoot a pheasant on the ground? I would, because he's just as dead and I've got a better chance of making the exact shot I want to make. Might even get all head and not mess up any breast meat. I'd love to carry buckshot while duck hunting, but the feds tend frown on it. Yeah, I know I can get Hevi-shot buckshot, but then I'm worried that it will get mixed in with my #4 Black Clouds and I'll end up over-killing a duck. I don't know what ethics rule that violates, but I'm sure it's in there somewhere. The way I see it, my big old brain and my opposable thumbs have landed me atop the food chain, and I'm going to put that to good use. I hunt like a predator that's trying to kill prey. I'm sorry if that offends you. Just kidding. I'm not sorry at all.

Anti-hunters don't need reasons to be against hunting, Goober. They're against hunting because they don't understand it, they don't do it, they have no desire to do it, and they need to have a cause other than trying to make their own lives and the lives of the people around them better in some way. I shoot deer because we have too many deer and they're tasty. If I happen to be duck hunting, and the opportunity presents itself, yes, I will kill a deer. We have a two-week long doe season here. Hunters here are can kill six does on their standard big game license. if they run out of tags and want to kill more, then they can go back and buy more. They're like big rats. Big rats that eat people's gardens, shrubs, flowers and crops. Big rats that run out in front of vehicles and destroy property and endanger lives. I'm sorry they're so darned cut and cuddly. I'm REAL sorry that Walt Disney made a movie about one being so cute and cuddly. They also made a movie about rats being intelligent beings with personalities, etc. I don't even eat rats, but I'll damnt sure kill every one that I can, just the same. So truckcop, thanks for your opinion. It's always welcomed and appreciated. I like educating those less knowledgeable than myself. I appreciate the opportunity.

First shot was head and neck. She spun around and I popped her again in the opposite shoulder, the she started stumbling away so I left her have another load in the back of the head. She still managed to get about 30 yards from me and stopped again. By then I had loaded another shell and shot for the head one more time. She looked an awful lot like swiss cheese. Bambi? She was mid-sized for this area. Probably 1-1/2 yr old. About 120 lbs.

Black Cloud 3" #4's @ 20 paces. Any more questions?

This was my theory as well. There were three of them and they had one borrowed pair of waders that didn't fit either of the three bears. I'll convey the full story later when I have more time.

A little slower today But then, as Phil Robertson once said, "A duck hunt done turned into a deer hunt."

Looks to me like you're trying to kill them all!

The short of it will be that I will no longer be nice and courteous and obliging to to any of them. All they get from me is what I am legally obligated to give them. I'm still considering filing a complaint of hunter harassment against them.

My cell sucks as well. Thinking about the Droid. We hunted one of our blinds today. Specifically, the one with the closed in North side and the metal roof. Snow, sleet, freezing rain driven by 25-30 mph winds made it feel like the Marriott. Sleet makes duck decoy rapidly! We also got harassed by three greenhorn GW's for in excess of two hours after taking out. Long story made short - My hunting partner doesn't know how to exercise his rights nearly as well as I do. In the words of Jed Clampet, "I gotta have me a Loooooonnnnng talk with that boy." I'll be filing formal complaints with their LT's next week.

How many people have been prosecuted in the last ten years for 922r violations? Grind off any stampings indicating country of origin and repaint.

What is interesting is that the "Hammer Link" is available in both RH and LH variations. That may be a clue as to what's next in the future of the Vinci. I think most gun makers test the waters with a right-handed version. If sales and performance are strong, then they'll consider doing a LH version.

That's ugly. Somebody put it together, so in theory somebody can take it apart and put it back. Obviously, the spring and plunger need to be accessed and removed. Then the safety button can be flipped around for LH use. It appears to me that the following parts will need to be removed, at the very least, in order to get to the plunger and spring. Disconnector, Hammer Link, Hammer, & Disconnector Assembly. It's hard to tell without the benefit of being able to hold the assembly and turn it in different directions. I'd take pictures of the assembly, study it, carefully remove the necessary parts, taking more pictures along the way. It may not be as bad as it looks, but it looks pretty darned bad.

As suggested, run up your post count to 5, then post the images. Here's a guide to posting using Photobucket. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14613

Did you get a parts manual with the gun? If I could see the schematic, I could probably tell you what to do.

Glasses used to bug the heck out of me when hunting. Fogging up, glare, etc. It's fixed now. http://www.lasikplus.com/

Nice pics! Hope you don't mind that I tweaked them a bit. My OCD wouldn't let it go.
