I have to lean towards the headlight switch also. first thing to do is check the bulbs though. If it is easier, check the parking lights first and see if the bulbs are bad, then move on to he headlight bulbs. Start simple solutions first, bulbs, fuses, relays and switches. The common denominator for parking lights and headlights is that they are both on at the same time (even though they do not share the same fuses). So if the bulbs and fuses are good, it may be the switch.

+1 what Lunker said ans Maks makes a great point too. Since the two shops are minutes apart, you might as well check out the selection and prices at both. I have bought from both places but as a member at Shore Shot, I can call on the phone, get a price and they will order the gun for me. When I ordered from Brick, they required a CC and charged it right away, long before the gun came in. Actually, they could not even get my first choice and offered to get me something else, which worked out OK for me.

Probably just new/tight. Shoot a couple of bricks through it and see if it lighten's up. My Mark III is stiffer to rack than my son's Buckmark, but not so tight is seems difficult.

Brisco, my son are members at Shore Shot and have bought 7 guns there and always got good prices and service. Used to shoot the Monday night Fun Shoot (until my son got a new job in NY). We like the staff over there and get a lot of good advice from them. I did buy my last pistol from BA because Phil could get it in the time frame I needed it. He gave me good price and service. Their new range and store are really nice.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy the day!

I have been shooting off and on for 45 years and owned several guns back in the day but they are long gone. Since I took up shooting again a few years ago, the first thing I bought was my Mark III Hunter. I love it!

We have a few around the marina and sometimes they will chase after you if you go by in a small boat or jet ski.

Welcome to the forum!

Or a 2lb hammer and a punch. Or the key that came with the lock. :twisted: :evil: Yeah, but where is the fun in that?

Welcome to the forum!

Great shot Paul, thanks for sharing. :clap:

Yeah, you can shoot a Master Lock and it won't open but you can shim it open in 2 seconds with a piece of soda can. Go figure?

And good potatoes

welcome to the forum.

I am certainly no expert but here is my take on the disk system. I only do pistol reloading but I guess it is the same for most cartridges. Once you decide on what powder you are going to use, look at the disk chart and it will tell you how many grains a particular disk dispenses. You want to run the disk several times and just put the powder back in the hopper and then use your scale to see what the charge really is as it can vary a little with different batches of powder. You have to realize that every different manufacturer's powder is going to dispense differently because of it's unique grain size. Anyway, after I decide I have the right disk, I cycle about 10 rounds and just dump them back in and then re-check the weight of the powder before actually completing the re-load cycle. Make sure you look at each cartridge before inserting your bullet to make sure it has powder in it so that you do not get any squibbs (they are a pain to get out of your barrel). I also have a bullet checker that I got from Dillon that I check each round through to make sure the case is not bulged or too long so that I won't get a FTF or FTE. It all sounds a lot harder than it really is, just take your time and don't rush anything.

You are 100% correct! The only problem with the ultimate loader is you shoot ten times more ammo at a session because it loads so easily. What do you lube yours with?

Welcome to the forum from Toms River.

Welcome from Toms River. There are a bunch of nice ranges around so try and visit a few close to you before you plunk down your money. Lots of great folks on this forum that can help with any questions.

A few years ago I went with a friend to pick out a hunting dog (Beagle) from a litter. He brought a shot gun and watched to see which dog didn't jump when he shot it. Turned out to be a great dog.

Tim, the "no kid left behind" bill is about 600 pages long! It is a disaster! It require the school to maintain certain levels of successful test scores for the school to receive their state aid. Once this bleeds down to the classroom teacher, they have to change their class curriculum to "teach to the test". This is a terrible way to run a curriculum.

I think he did it?

Probably gets more reads here? Maks, there is that place on Rt 9 just north of Lakewood that has a whole lot full of trucks, vans and SUVs, you might drive by there and see what they have?

I have to agree with Dan on this topic. The lack of proper grammar on Internet forums irks me too! Laugh, snicker, belittle and cajole him. He will get the last laugh. A semester or two with Sister Smackyourhands and her big ass ruler will wipe that smirk off your face! Dan, keep up the good work :clap:

Well, I guess I am the fly in the ointment? I bought an M&P .40 FS and, for me, it just didn't shoot. I know it was me because my son, and several good shooters at the range, could shoot it fine. Must be the angle or size of the grip but I could only get like 5" groups? I would take my son's XD 9 and shoot 2" groups or better all day long. I ended up trading it in for my XD Tactical and this gun shoots great for me all the time. Go figure?
