I hope the ACLU walks all over this. Same thing as flipping the bird (which is not obscene according to case law) Don't care for fowl language, but unless you have a list of words that are/are not appropriate...clear violation of the 1st.

They don't have the right, but since we live in a "Right to Work" state...refusal to allow it could result in termination.

All the internal parts are steel. Take the sideplate off and clean it up. If this is too much...Take it to John Wall in NE Nashville and for under $40 he will both clean it...and tune it up for you.

They have a big write up at the Medal of Honor museum here in Chattanooga (have had for years before pacific) and from what I understand...it messed him up pretty bad. A bullet to the heart was more "poetically dramatic" than getting blown to bits by a mortar.

There has been way too much screwin' and way too little character development IMHO. Don't get me wrong....it has been decent so far. Band of Brothers was simply an impossible act to follow. Man that was a great series.

Man...there wouldn't be a day I didn't think the maker that he lined up the stars just right for me if I were in that situation. Great story - Thanks for sharing

Mirror polish is pretty darn impervious to about anything. Even non-stainless guns with a mirror finish resist corrosion quite well. They clean up really really easy too. Despite the fancy looks...that gun is made to be shot!

Funny Factoid....Ruger has never, in the history of the company, offered any warranty on any product they have ever sold. They have even gone so far and stated it on every manual they provide with their guns. Don't believe me? Look on your Ruger manual. They have a "get it done" on a case by case basis philosiphy.

So the TN law makes ammo required in parts of California, due to no lead restrictions, illegal to shoot here!?!? Boy I see this as a future train wreck....

It was a similar kit, but it was probably in the mid 90's when I installed it. It was the Gen II Blue streak that I wore out. Here is how the Sheridan guns have been made over the years. Gen - 1 has the tang safety (Like a mossberg 500) that must be pressed forward to shoot Gen - 2 has the rocker at the tang labeled F or S Gen - 3 is the current generation with the trigger guard mounted safety. It wasn't difficult to do and the instructions were more than adequate. If you can change the brake pads on your car...you can do this. Basically the -o- rings wear out and simply need replacing. Most difficult thing is drifting out pins.

Someone with a LOT of time on their hands.

They have actually been casting 1911 frames for several manufacturers (under their Pinetree castings division) for decades now. As well as boat propellers, brake calipers for porsche, and several aerospace projects. Cast <> Pot metal...not even close

I have a bucket in my reloading room that likely has one hundred thousand of my spent primers. Not one slam fire. I will have 10 more buckets just like that and not have a single slam fire...100% guaranteed. Never said that it is the correct way to do it. Happen to agree with you to the "T". I am saying that it will not cause a malfunction or problem with a non-captive external extractor. There are two different conversations in this thread. It is Saturday night with nothing else to do.

Sr9 and Sr9c are both $369 here in Chattanooga...lett than 400 out the door.

Smarter, again, is knowing one's gun. Unless it is a claw extractor found on a rifle or a internal extractor on either a 1911 or the early Brownings (and a couple of select pistols)...won't hurt a thing. Folks reading this who are confused...The guy in the vignette dropped a round, via the ejection port, into the chamber of an above mentioned gun and dropped the slide. On a gun with an external extractor it would simply slide over like normal, but the internal bits on an above mentioned gun will be way overstressed because the capture should have happened way earlier in the cycle. The extractor will be bent at the wrong axis potentially causing problems later on. That being said...the gun should still be able to perform this overstressed action. Thus tricking people into thinking it is normal operating protocol. It can cause problems, but is akin to whipping a cylinder into a revolver with a flip of your wrist. Won't break it, but if you do it too much things will go downhill fast. edit....the guy in the vid was a yahoo either way.

You saw a 1911, but not all of that genre have internal extractors If it were a Smith and Wesson 1911 - the guy on TV could have done it tens of thousands of times with no ill effect.

That alone puts it at a competitive advantage in my book. I will pay more for USA made if the quality is equivalent.

Love the short cap of a guy just sitting on a rock...eating. WTF

Old carbon hen and rooster....high quality knife! Makes the assembly line plastic crap in the market today look embarrassingly bad.

Don't oil them! Don't pump over 8 times either. There are a couple of sites that sell rebuild kits for them....only thing that wears out are a couple of -O- rings. I have owned 3 of these guns over the years and all of them eventually needed to have a rebuild. This is something that you can do...nothing on that gun is very complicated. These are the best pump airguns made BTW. You should hold on to that one. Midway and most of the big box shops sell .20 caliber pellets. Not cheap, but still cheaper than .22 lr CLICK HERE

I think one of the reasons...unlike cars they don't go bad. There are probably 50 million of them in the hands of gunowners. This is a testament to their reliability and popularity. Market is saturated is all and nobody is willing to pay $1000 at todays price for a new revolver when a 25 year old one at $600 will outperform it. There are some VERY fine wheelguns being made, but right now it is in the single action world. Freedom Arms and the re-tooled Bowen guns come to mind.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start

Yes...out of a rifle barrel a .357 it is nipping on the heels of 30-30 power. The problem will be getting bullets that won't blow apart at those velocities....the front end of a pig is pretty tough. Has to be hunting bullets and not SD ones.

Hell from North Chattanooga!!! When you are in the buyin mood for a Glock...go to GT distributers and get on of their trade ins for 1/2 what a new one cost.

Every failure of big chain sports stores in Chattanooga was based upon failures of the parent company, and not because of the particular location. Actually Sportsman's defied all sorts of historical landmarks in the past 18 months. One being the only company of its size to ever emerge from bankruptcy during a downward trend of a recession....ever. Chattanooga is currently the highest sale/sq. ft of the whole corporation.
