What are you afraid of?

I had been looking for a lever in .35 Remington for awhile. I found this recently and was able to pick it up for a decent price. Was a little surprised when I looked up the date code and found out it was 1957. Now I just need to find some ammo at a decent price.
"ammo at a decent price"? Have you been drinking on a Tuesday?
Beautiful rifle!

The MGW Sight Pro works well. It’s a universal-ish tool. There are specific parts (can be purchased separately) which are gun specific. I’ve used mine with Glocks, Sigs, 1911s, HKs, and S&Ws.
While it isn’t marked for how far you move the sight, I use a vice and a dial indicator when warranted. I’ve got a spreadsheet to calculate how far to move the sight to affect POI.

A local HSV shop closed its doors back in October for the same reason. They simply couldn’t get inventory (guns or ammo).
The owner kept his FFL to do NFA transfers out of his house.

There are diseases that have been eradicated in our lifetimes that killed millions of people because of vaccines.
It’s late, so I won’t try to rank them - but if you were to make a list of scientific achievements that have most improved the human condition in the last 500 years - vaccines are in the top 5.
Where would "social media" be on the list?

Technical debt is what happens when you choose the quick/easy route versus the correct approach in a software project. It almost always results in eventually having to significantly invest in reworking existing code to make further maintenance or extension possible.
I've seen systems where I've recommend redeveloping from scratch due to the technical debt. They could have rewritten the application more economically than maintaining it.

One of my favorite knives is one I asked you to build several years ago. You asked for specifics and I basically said "do your magic". It turned out way better than anything I could imagine! I hope you keep creating your art.

Feeling better this evening
Great to hear - keep improving!

I went with a G19 MOS for my RMR experiment. I found a new Gen 4 for 620 at a local dealer - which seemed somewhat reasonable (for an impatient person) in the crazy COVID, pre-election market. I’ve actually seen other dealers at 599 for non-MOS G19s around here.
For me, the price difference between slide milling/refinishing vs buying another pistol made it an easy decision.

Sorry to hear this robin48. Get well soon - prayers on the way.

I'm at a loss for words. Steelharp will definitely be missed.

True enough, but even at a 50% win clip, Vandy is (outside of maybe Kentucky) still Tennessee's best chance for an SEC win each year ...
Yep, the SEC is brutal. Easy wins are few and far between.

That would be tough on Tennessee, Vandy is one of their few likely SEC wins each year ...
Not for the last decade based on the game results. UT fans won't admit it but Vanderbilt is a bigger rival than Florida, Georgia, or Alabama the last ten years.

Doc just left. He says I'm doing better, I've managed to stay away from needing a ventilator. But, I have to spread the damage I do have in my lungs from just the back. I have to lay on my belly and my sides to move things around. I'm not out of the woods by any means, but it could be worse.
Awesome to hear you are improving. Just keep getting better even if it's a little at a time. Still praying for you!

Update. Lisa is doing fairly well, she has a mild strain. I got the worst available. Add pneumonia, and the challenge increases. I'm improving, but my lungs are being slow because of the severity. I will be fine!! It's just a longer harder uphill battle. I could possibly be in here 14 days.
Your TGO family will pray you out of there sooner! Thanks for the update. I was wondering how you were doing.

Very cool. How does the brightness of the dot suit you?
The RMR is plenty bright for me. It's not overpowering so you can get a decent site picture.

what was your setup 20 years ago?
Originally, I tried a RDS on a Ruger MKIII. Never could hit anything with the RDS. Took it off - kept the MKIII and use it as a suppressor host. It's *almost* as accurate as my S&W 41.

Do yourself a favor and get a set of prescription glasses to correct your astigmatism if your fur looks to have any starburting or flare vs being a crisp dot. It doesn't take much of an astigmatism to really throw your opinion off. I was about to give up on them before TN DMV said I needed an RX. Minor astigmatism I didn't know I had with specs took my RDS's from 8 moa burst smears to 2 MOA pinpoint dots.
Good luck!
Oh, I've been wearing prescription lenses for 34 years. I couldn't see the pistol without them!

Thanks to @TGO David and his raving about red dot sights, a great deal on a RMR, and a good deal on a 4th gen Glock 19 MOS, I finally decided to try a RDS on a pistol for the first time in 20+ years. I can't wait to try this out and see how my crappy eyes work with the RMR. Astigmatism has its challenges.
Yes, decent deals on pistols still exist. I picked up a new MOS for less than I've seen standard Glocks listed for here.

Looks like no hammer but a striker fired rifle. I once had a problem with a Colt Woodsman misfiring. Turns out the striker had broken. When things lined up perfect, it fired. When things didn't line up, no joy but a definite 'click' when I pulled the trigger. Only when disassembled was I able to see the striker was in two pieces.
Not sure if you broke the rifle down this far, but checking the striker might be worth the time.

Went into a LGS in Huntsville today. They had 9mm and 45ACP Blazer Brass for $25/box with a 4 box limit.
They also had enough 223 to start a war - if you wanted to buy by the barrel.

Back in TN
in General Chat
Posted
After four long years in Huntsville, AL, my wife and I moved back to middle TN last week. Trying out the east side of Nashville in Mt. Juliet. Just renting for the time being as trying to coordinating sell-a-house and buy-a-house in this market would drive me crazy.
We are both very, very glad to be back in the Nashville area!
