After she sharpened them she would have had to give them back to their owners... unless she started taking her work home, it could have worked out better.

When I was a kid I did help my father make ammunition. You know, casting bullets, using a Lee (or was it RCBS?) press for sizing and loading etc.

I tried not to tick him off

Apparently you were successful.

You do realize that in quoting the OP you are dangerously close to initiating serious discussion of things other than bacon, beer and cheese, and there for at risk of being tossed out of the thread. All posts that even appear to refer to the original post are discouraged.

Posters are softening up their wet noodles right now getting ready to flog you.

Well, that's not a problem; but he forgot to bring bacon or cheese when he came back.

OK ... this post is zeds' fault.

I went to my B&M store this weekend and handled a K-S2.

Not bad. Not bad at all ... and that's "why I won't buy a K-3" tm

Don't poison them. They might crawl somewhere in or under your house and die.

For the record, the K-S2 has a HUGE Pentax logo on the back...
