By the looks of the pictures, it has been failing for quite some time, this wasn't a one time thing. Yes it could have been a hot load that finally made the crack, but it was bound to happen sooner or later no matter what ammo was being used. You can tell all this by looking at the picture where there is the clean crack on one end, and then you can see the old crack that has been happening for some time. I really wouldn't be too concerned about any out there or the 2 I am waiting getting in that we have been talking about in the other thread, but I would take some extra time to inspect that area a little closer. Seems like this may have been able to be seen from the inside, or at least felt with a curved pick, like the kind you see at the dentist office. Probably too small an area for a cheap borescope to get in. Might see if the x-ray machines used to check welds might also be a good idea for one that may be questionable. Just thinking out loud a little. Harry

Very nice, congratulations. Harry

I see and knew others would comment on this, I will just add one thing to think about, In the US there IS 1 home invasion per minute 24 hours a day., That's 1440 per day, 10080 per week, or 525600 per year. Now how long do you think they will keep hitting the crime ridden and trouble areas where there is less likely a chance of them getting anything of value. In reality they are getting out of their neighborhoods and going to more lucrative locations, which means nicer neighborhoods, might you be in one of these locations?? Just something to think about. Here is one more thing, a lot of alarm systems are getting harder and harder to circumvent so it's easier to break in while someone is home while it's less likely that the alarm is on. They can be in and out in under 5 minutes, plenty of time to get out of there before any help arrives, that and when that happens I would figure it would be more than one person breaking in, A Louisville slugger ain't what I have in mind as my best option to protect my family and myself, but as you said, to each there own. Harry

Where abouts are ya, I'm over in Towne Lake, where do you plan on shooting, any Idea? Harry

Sayreville never did it before and the person who is handling this for the PD is the same person, but they just did call my employer. My work phone contact is my phone that is shared by 5 of us managers so the PD called one of my co-workers. If they call my wifes work, I hope she give herself a good recommendation being she owns her own travel agency. Harry

Happy B-Day Bob Harry

I don't know, I always herd when your OL turns 40 you should trade her for 2 20's. Harry

Great post, thanks for sharing. Harry

I was interested but was thinking that when you were asking about Sunday the 27th I was thinking great I can make this one, but I see Feb and Mar had the same dates for Sat and Sun. Unfortunately I can't make it Saturday, but I am off on Sundays like you are. Maybe another time, Guess I might as well go to the USPSA match on Sunday at the OBRPC and even if I don't participate, I can get an idea of what it's like. Harry

I saw the date but the 26th and 27 of Feb and Mar are both Saturdays and Sundays, never mind lol Harry

Fantastic story, I also like to hear about kids getting into shooting the right way. I'll tell you, I just picked up the Marlin 795, yes I know it's a semi, but while a bolt action is better to learn on for someone his age, you have to think in no time he will be ready for a semi. The best part they are a nice cheap rifle, Dicks Sporting Goods are offering 10 dollars off sales over a hundred dollars, and Marlin is running a mail in refund program for another 25 dollars. Basically you can get it for just under a hundred bucks, and I bet you will have fun shooting it also. All this works toward a good excuse also for another purchase if you need one. It's also very light, one of the other factors I used when making the selection to get it, it's really for my 11 YO daughter and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Harry

I joined the USPSA and the like so I would be a member when I finally have a chance to shoot for the first time in one. Have to check with the Wife, I know we have a wedding to go to one of these weekends I just can't remember which one. I'll be there at 0900 if I can make it. Harry

I agree about the posibility of needing the money. Hard to think it would be for planning future traffic through the store, I figre the rate of shooter through a Store/Range is probably closer to 1 per week for every 20-25 members. Harry

No all, you see back in the 80's I packed up my truck with everything I owned and drove west, I know I could get a job out there pretty easy, So I left NJ for hopes of going to AZ. Well I was staying at a resort in Scottsdale while I was looking for work, met some people who worked for Pepsi Co that were there from souther Kali on business. We were all in the pool hot tube area BS and they came to find out what I was doing there. Basically I got a job in a hot tub interview with them, but had to move to Southern Kali. That wasn't a problem, Kali was still a semi free state, not even a helmet law at the time. Well to make a long story short, I met a bunch of them hippie type wimin who lived in Torrance and a few others who lived in La Jolla. I guess they weren't real hippies by true definition because both of them came from very nice homes out there. Lets just say the clean cute beach town hippies from souther Kali are just a little bit different then others. I guarantee if you were where I was you would would have embraced the whole peace and love thing. Harry

Understand, sorry to hear that your co-worked witnessed such a tragic event but on the positive side, she made it though it. That was the exact reason I did mention the HR thing on the other post, I am bound by more crap and BS in this new PC world we live in, not sure when society became so P-S-A-Fide but it's the world we live in. Some situations like that it can make people go PRO-Gun or just the opposite. The story of you co-worker does remind me of a little video clip, it's one more people should watch and know about. Harry

A couple people I know on the BG380 site say S&W is getting a little slow mailing the labels but there is an option for them to E-Mail you one. Not sure how that works but they said they got it the next day or the following compared to just over a week being reported by some. Harry

You know, I go so wrapped up in other stuff I forgot, I'll check when I get home, still have a bunch of my measuring tools from when my father had a machine shop. I'll edit this post later and let you know what I find. ETA: I just eyeballed it, I didn't use any measuring devices and it's looks pretty good. I'll use some of the tools I saved from the machine shop days and check it when I get the Tech Sights in and report back, I will be able to tell down to .001 Harry

I like that way you think, but In That Order??? Harry

Well as written from my understanding, technically they would not be in the 2 locations named, Glove Box and Center Console, so by letter of law probably not illegal. To add: There may be based on the interpretation of the law by a LEO who may have pulled you over that he may question the proximity of them to the driver and if called on it it would be you who would have to fight it being the so called Innocent until Proven doesn't always go hand and hand when it comes to firearms in NJ. Harry

I don't consider it embarrassing, I have now started say before they call, I'll be waiting because there is something that flags me each time for further review and we start talking after the call is made. I try and look at it now as a social wait in addition to additional looking / buying time. Harry

To add what Maks said, the membership cards sometime ship out in a week. I didn't fill out one at a match, but did it online and I think I did that on a Friday and it was in my mailbox the following Friday , now you can be like the kid on X-Mas eve waiting. Harry

I used to go to that place when it was still Charlie Brenner's and Now I know it as the NJ Fire Arms Guild and being a Manager in Air Traffic I am used to seeing acronyms all the time and I always read it as I knew the name, NOW thanks to you I will get a chuckle every time I see it also. Harry

I used to do this all the time, but when joined the OBRPC during the orientation this was brought up, they did ask that all members to not travel to and from the indoor or outdoor ranges with loaded Mags. They would like to err on the side of caution and I can live with that, but I did pick up a second Uplula loader just in case my main one craps out on me. Plus every time I have been in at the indoor range I have been to only person there so taking your time, relaxing and having the place to your self it isn't a big deal. Now when I go to Shore Shot, I have them loaded just so I don't waste time loading and I can get my practice in and hopefully the reduced time at the range will allow others who may be waiting for a lane to open up get one a little quicker. Harry

SS is here, Kyle is on the forums, I'd bet he has seen the post. He has dealt with other issues in the SS section and handled some of them well when there wan issue. Harry
