My very loving wife surprised me on Christmas day

I have been 'rebuilding' my old Ruger 10/22 for the past 3 years. Now, when I say 'rebuilding' I really mean that I spent 2 years thinking about it then I decided that I would disassemble the darned thing to motivate myself into building it into a tack driving trainer for myself. And then life happened and the rifle sat, in pieces, for the past year.

I have mentioned in passing to my wife (generally when she asks me why the rifle is in parts all over her basement) that I want to build this into something that I really like shooting and that can help me be a better shooter with the guns that cost me more money to shoot. I can only assume that she conspired with my shooting buddy to sort out the PERFECT Christmas gift for me. On Saturday morning I opened up a KID 2 stage trigger (black assembly, red curved trigger, 8 oz/1 lb let offs, speed magazine release).

It is EXACTLY how I would have ordered it and she never asked me about it. So I can only assume that she conspired with my buddy about this gift, it's either that or I talk in my sleep...either way I now know that my secrets are not safe in my own home.

The engineering that is evident in this trigger have convinced me that I will probably source other parts for this build from KID and now I have something to spend my time and money for in 2011.

Now I need to start hinting for a 458 in Rosso Scud.
