    I saw it opening weekend, and like you thought it was a good flick for what it is. And also liked the first one more and agree that another one will be coming soon. Really enjoy watching Keanu Reeves' movies knowing how much work he actually puts in to learning the gun handling part of it. And he doesn't just rely on CGI or stunt people to make it look good. 

    I watched a couple of his 3 gun training vids on youtube... I am glad to see an actor putting work to be proficient with the use of firearms in this movie.

    The biggest crowd pleaser I have is this one . . . . . .

    S&W 460 XVR in .460 Magnum.  It's also somewhat of an "unusual" caliber.  She also shoots .454 Casull, another oddball, and .45LC which is not common, but not weird.  So I get a two-fer on this one.

    S&W 460XVR - .460 Magnum & .454 Casull

    My junk is officially slow.... for now.

    Sunday I ran the 1/8 mile. best I could muster with traction control on was 8.80@82.55. Car has a Vararam intake and Corsa catback. No tune. Data log shows the CAI is screwing with the MAF and making the car run rich. So I have work to do...

    They got the car # wrong, but it's the right slip. 

     

    You caught the '04 sleeping at the tree

    I'll try to be succinct. 

    1. I was on the open track at Beech Bend for my third run in Sept 2008.

    2. After shifting to 4th and at WOT something gave way. It appeared from the audience that I blew a head gasket, but I think that it was the smaller coolant hose that goes under the harmonic balancer.

    3. Radiator fluid dumped all over my rear tires placing me on a skating rink. 

    4. I crossed lanes and hit the wall somewhere south of 100 MPH. I bounced off the wall, crossed back over and struck the wall for my lane.

    5. Car totaled. I hit hard enough that the 14" front brake rotor on the left side broke in half. I walked away badly bruised, but at least I walked away.

    I remember it... I trying to keep it off of your mind. I am glad that you walked away from that one.

    Just don't post pictures of the wreck. That still makes me want to cry. :cry:

    Wreck????what wreck ?

    It was a beautiful ride for sure

        I still have the '03, but I may sell the '14 and pick up a Dodge Demon or wait to see what the next 500 has to offer.

  6. I am in 231 on the club level.

    1- I do think that the club level is worth the extra money. Nicer seats, bathrooms, and I can get out of the rain and heat/cold.

    2-  I picked seats out of the sun. There are l more hot games than cold games... the shade works best of me. I see people in the sunny seats sweating and I am nice and cool. When it is cold... everyone has coats on no matter where their seats are lol

    Isle seats are really a plus for me as well.

    I have a parking pass in lot A. It is very easy for me to exit that parking lot and get on the interstate. Look at parking passes that are closest to the interstate/exit that you need to get on to go home.

    I can't afford the 50, but have sat in seats on the 50... I do not feel that I miss anything in my non-50 seats.

    Can you remove the slide?

     

    A spring kit(s) may help reliability http://www.midwayusa.com/product/935374/wolff-service-spring-pack-type-2-walther-p-38

    A gunsmith would be best .. it could be a number of things or something simple. The locking block, a new take down lever, springs...  could have it acting wacky.

     

    Since it has been refinished... it will make a great shooter when you get it running smooth.

    I would start with springs and a new lever and get with a gunsmith if that does not make it run.

    For someone that knows P38's and has parts on hand I'd try lugerdoc if it were mine.

    Does that work?  I had a pup get into one of those once, had to practically shave it.  Luckily it was a furry one so no harm but it sure was stuck.  This was before Gore invented the internet so I couldn't look up a remedy.

    Yes it works... i have lizards and frogs that get caught in my traps.  the oil sets them free. The trap will not work after that though.

    (3)  (A) A sign shall be used as the method of posting. The sign shall include the phrase "NO FIREARMS ALLOWED", and the phrase shall measure at least one inch (1") high and eight inches (8") wide. The sign shall also include the phrase "As authorized by T.C.A. § 39-17-1359".

          (B) The sign shall include a pictorial representation of the phrase "NO FIREARMS ALLOWED" that shall include a circle with a diagonal line through the circle and an image of a firearm inside the circle under the diagonal line. The entire pictorial representation shall be at least four inches (4") high and four inches (4") wide. The diagonal line shall be at a forty-five degree (45 degrees) angle from the upper left to the lower right side of the circle.

       (4) An individual, corporation, business entity, or government entity that, as of January 1, 2015, used signs to provide notice of the prohibition permitted by subsection (a) shall have until January 1, 2018, to replace existing signs with signs that meet the requirements of subdivision (b)(3).

     

    From what I understand, if a property had a no gun sign on Jan 1, 2015 that had a picture of a gun or the TCA language, then that sign is valid until Jan 2018.  How in the world anyone would know if a previously valid sign was up in Jan 2015 just adds to the legal trap of this no gun sign law.

    Thanks  I read code T.C.A. § 39-17-1359  and I guess I am still left wondering if the sign has to list the code to be a "valid" posting. I see restaurants and stores that just have "no firearms allowed" in small print without the ghostbusters sign or the TCA listed.
