Wow that is a lot of stuff.

Do you have some of this stuff or are you going to have to buy a lot of it Lane?

I would love it (I am sure other would also) if you made this thread or a different thread a diary of your adventure building up to and through your Rodgers Pistol Class.

Thanks for sharing Lane. :hail:

I have some things, and some of the stuff can be found at Home Depot or other places less expensive than Brownells. I plan on documenting my journey of enlightenment, I'll share if anyone is interested.

The tool list came with a running commentary - I'll post it when I have a few minutes. Bob seems to have a pretty good sense of humor.

I am sure that you will have a great time at the class Lane!!!:)

Thanks for listing the tools needed.

I wish you all the best, you'll do fine with the classes:) Mike

I am sooooo jealous! I want to take this class! It is on my bucket list!!!!!

Lane, I'm very happy for you. You are a lucky man.:)
Hope you don't mind I added some prices from Brownells.
