It's been dry fired. IN fact, since shooting the gun last my son had an extensive dry fire practice session. No snap caps were used. Will start using them again.

Gun does not fire and there is no marking on the primer to indicate light strike and the rounds from that gun fire in my PX4, so I know it's an issue iwth the gun. When I manipulate the gun to depress the loaded chamber indicator and push the firing pin plunger the pin does not protrude into the chamber. Also, when I look into the firing pin while pushed up in the condition I just described the pin does not appear to be smooth or polished. At least 5,000 rounds through the gun, most likely more than that.

So, it seems that the FP on my 92 is broken. This will be my first attempt at smithing, and based on Youtube vids it doesn't appear to be that big of a deal to repair. 2 questions for the forum. 1) Where to order parts? Should I stick with original factory Beretta or are there other (better/worse) options? 2) Is there any other preventive maintenance I should perform now, while I'm in that mindset? I know I'd like to replace the D spring with something a little softer. Should I also replace the extractors? Thanks in advance for your replies, and Happy Easter.

Mikey...you forgot to remind him that noob's are responsible to bring the pastries and coffee.

Now I've got an image of Alec with out shirt, shoes and pants. Make it STOP!

I feel your pain Frank. I don't know if I'll be able to make any matches, USPSAA or Steel, until fall. And today while warming up the pitcher he bounced the first pitch off my big toe. Very pretty shade of purple for Palm Sunday.

Good News Vlad, and thank you.

The members steel match is perfect for you, but be wary of when George says "Royal Treatment." Sophomoric hazing at its finest.

Who do you think it is?

Just received confirm and status from Cabella's on my Blazer order. Backordered until 4/30.

He won't be selling it to me. lol I've all but stopped shooting rimfire until I can get what I consider to be an ample supply stockpiled. I refuse to pay high prices. I don't judge someone who might, but I won't do it.

I picked up a brick of Blazer from Cabella earlier in the day, and a 325 can last week. So yes, seems like a little more supply is finding its way around at somewhat normal prices.

The larger problem I have, and why given the choice would oppose it is simply because I don't trust the government to get it right.

Nobody likes a show off.

Lou, show up early and help build. If there were two walk on's...one who helped build, and the other who showed up a 9:30, the guy who helped build gets picked for the final spot. If that doesn't work then pout and walk away kicking rocks. Jim'll haveta let you shoot then. : )

Must be a slow news day. At least it gave us somethign to talk about.

Everyone has an opinion as to why they do what they do, and in most cases exceed what is actually required by law. Reading the law is a very good place to start and something I'd highly recommend. I think one thing everyone would agree on and that is clearly written in the law is that they need to be unloaded and separate from ammo. How you accomplish this is where the opinions enter the discussion. For me, personally, I exceed what is required by the law. I transport my handguns in a gun pouch that is placed in an old leather hard sided brief case that is then locked. This makes it easy for me to get the gun to the safe table at an event and not have to carry the brief case. Ammo and magazines go in my range bag. And yes, you can transport loaded magazines. Long guns are transported in cases but not locked. I would really suggest to read the law and then come back with a question about something in the actual law that you might want clarified.

He didn't offer and I didn't ask, and truth told, who's going to argue with him? : )

I saw Gene ask just last week. He wrote the sale on one piece of paper and the buyers info on another. Don't recall if it was a log or not but he definitely wrote it down.

Soloman's.

I've stopped looking. I don't know why I even bother to check this thread when it bumps. lol

Thanks for info. I was sure that you could relocate groundhogs onto public/park land. I distinctly remember researching it and am not perplexed why I can't find the information.

Ammonia I believe. They don't like the scent. As an alternative I'm pretty sure you can trap and relocate them to public park land. I would strongly suggest becoming familiar with the local laws pertaining to wild animals and dealing with them. The local ASPCA guy Buddy Amato will come visit and cry on you if you get caught harming his animals. Then he'll give you a ticket and a round house kick about the head for good measure. No joke. The guy is very serious about his job. Don't get caught trapping or drowning wild animals.

I think we should be allowed to fill in our scores in advance. Think of how much time it will save. Who's with me?

A Blue Line Fish sighting....no way. I'm still not convinced he's real. I'll be shooting our members match at CJ. Have fun. Next time.
