The plot thickens...The Boss and our friendly FFL [and our friend] and I began to discuss various options. When we got to the Aero both said, "Never heard of it...changeable barrels???" Took a look at the video, got all excited. Now Boss is talking 9mm because ammo is cheap.

Still my primary purpose would be to be able to kill the zombie squirrels and have some fun at the range. I am going to try and locate someone with a Hi Point Carbine, that I can try and find out more about the Aero. I am hoping the local rifle range will have a Hi Point around so I can handle it.

Incidentally, the new Aero is being marketed in blue, green, and pink, as well as matt grey. They acknowledge that they want this rifle to appeal to the entire family. I'd buy it in pink, if it were cheaper, just to irritate the boss a little.

Meanwhile, my two dream revolvers still elude me...the Model 25 [or maybe a .357 with a scope] and the Model 547 - 9mm Revolver.

Again, I appreciate everyone's comments. I learn a lot here on the forums.
