He did that yesterday, and did well. The cases that needed to be ejected
got stuck a couple of times (I need to clean and oil that Chipmunk .22)
and I let him try to pry the casing from the chamber with my pocket
knife so I'm not confident with his knife skills. He did fine loading
and chambering rounds etc. as I'd let him practice. I personally had to
remove the stuck casings.

I'm just leery of letting him try using knives. It's not the same as gun
skills.

<lol> I'll probably start him like I did a friends kid. With basted
eggs...

He is 7.

I'm open to other suggestions? Maybe building a pizza?
