Old School

As long as they are not reffering to 22LR.

Are you moving permanently? The 5 year plan is 2 modest homes. One in NC near the coast and one in OR at the base of the Cascades.

Please post anything you find interesting because I'm headed down to Nags Head soon. I'm looking to buy in the mainland coast so any experience you share is welcomed. Frank

Mags DO need to be plugged. My dad got a summons for that years ago. Just take a 10 rd mag and put a piece of wood under the follower and you are legal. Just like a dowel in a 5 rd shot gun. Be safe don't believe a phone call. A little piece of wood can save you a lot of greif. Frank

The staked in method is traditional for a 1911. You should Have a gunsmith do it as to do it properly you need a staking tool. You're not going to order a new slide. It will be most cost prohibitive. it must be fitted to both the barrel and frame. Frank

Do you realize what you just said? It's 2010. The electronic age. You just waited 55 days for what should have taken REALY no more than 3. What ever happened to email and electronic signature for your references? Not even to mention the state police... You've just been milked by an antiquated system staffed by lazy beaurocrats. And you love it. Ok so I can't spell...

Picatinny is my neighbor, 6 miles through the woods. AND, one of our forum members works on this stuff...

You hit it on the nose. You MUST change the extractor, ejector. the extractor button. and I would have to look up the part# but maybe the recoil spring. Don't mess with it. If you need help PM me. Frank BTW I'm up North.

NG for hunting. #1 .410 good for squirrels and sitting rabbits #2 only 3 round capable in NJ.

How abut too hot a load? Is the primer extruding into the firing pin hole?

Hey Handsome- I'll take them. Ya know ya have to count them out. It's a 4000 bulk box. I better get 1001 not 999. Call me when they come in. Frank

Good One Chris!!!

I'm not Wild Bill. 20yd ragged hole is off of sandbags...

Luis- meet up and shoot my STI Spartan. Not the most popular but fantastic bang for the buck. Certainly better than I am and classic 1911. No fancy safeties, trigger breaks like glass and all forged fire control parts. Shoots a ragged hole at 20yds. I would love to do that! Tell me how's you schedulle next week. I'm available all next week, Dawn til dusk and am 5 minutes from CR. PM me

That's a good price!! Cost me about .20 to reload and the case has value. So if it shoots well this is a great deal!!

Muther fukers who throw cigarrettes on the ground should be linched. What the hell does it take to field strip it and dispose of the filter properly? Sheet, I even do that at the range. And if my truck smells like smoke, it's my truck. You can drive and I won't smoke. So far as second hand smoke in a park...what BS.

GLOCK G26. Durable, 9mm(not to be sneezed at and handles +P), Very controlable. Two things to consider #1 controlability and shot placement and #2 an adaquate caliber. Just my 2 cents!!!

Average response time for "911" is 4 minutes. Does anyone know how the response time to an emergency can be reduced?

Maks- I was shooting off of sandbags and the bench was rock solid. Any human error was me. And I was having a little trouble with the lighting. Extreme spread when measured with the caliber is 1.050" How many gr are the Matchkings? Because I'm running a COL of 2.257" and any longer is a problem.

Since the police cannot be sued for not protecting you, what is their real obligation to the public? The protection that the public does get is from the good officers that take their jobs to heart and want to provide a service to the community.

Here's today's results 25grs of Varget @ 100yds w/ a 55gr Montana Gold FMJ. Was actually raining today and I was having trouble seeing and even ended up shooting with both eyes open. You guys know the rifle DPMS LOPRO w/ 16" bull barrel, w/ no comp and target crown. #4 lb trigger and a Millet 1-4x scope. Now I know the pic of the primers is not that good. I think I'm running a little hot. I appear to be loosing the rounded edge on one side of the primer and it's getting pretty flat. I saved some of this load to chrono at a later date,

Pete- I wish you would shoot brass so I could pick it up...

#1 The CO was lucky to be armed. But then his life is much more valuable than the average citizen that pays his salary. Just keep working and paying the salaries of the privledged. #2 What a bullshit bloated bureaucracy investigating this mess. Keep working to pay for this mess.
