1911 Reliability, What Does It Really Mean? Hilton Yam
9teeneleven replied to Kano's topic in Handguns
They enlarged the chamber slightly. It had been cut too tight. I'm not sure why that would only start showing up as the pistol broke in, but it did. -
Hmm, it would have to be a long one. How about the 13hr trilogy "The Human Condition."

By "the federal government imposing their different 'ways,'" does he mean the McDonald decision that mandates that all states abide by the second amendment? I don't see the "tough times coming" he is talking about with regards to the 2nd amendment. This smells like pork. I would be surprised if Barrett Firearms doesn't make a lot of hay from government contracts.

1911 Reliability, What Does It Really Mean? Hilton Yam
9teeneleven replied to Kano's topic in Handguns
I actually had the opposite experience with my kimber. It got worse near the end of the break-in period. starting around 300 rounds, it started to stovepipe only on the last round of Wilson combat mags. Soon it started doing it will all mags on the last round. Sent it in to Kimber. Since then I have put thousands of rounds down it without a single glitch. -
Here is a newly threaded HK P30. Waiting on the ATF to approve stamp so I can pick up the Trident 9 that will run on this gun. Tornado did the threading. Top notch work. This gun is waiting on the ATF for SBR status. Got the engraving done by Orion Arms and just finished putting it together. CMMG 6.8spc piston upper on a spikes lower with a geissele SSA trigger. The lower will also host a 5" suppressed 9mm upper, but I'm planning on shortening this upper, too.

NFA engraving in the Knoxville area?
9teeneleven replied to a topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
I ended up using Orion. There leade time on the website was a month, but it was two weeks door to door. Highly recommended. -
Now they just need to fix that slide stop location.

If you think the BP spill is bad. Spend a little time watching the HBO documentary Gasland about the destruction and health issues caused by natural gas fracking. It is a truly disturbing film about how our country and it's people are being sold out.

How do we have this so backwards? Citizens United was the attack on free speech. Jeez. The NRA is wrong not for opposing the Disclose act, but for defending citizens united. Simply put, money is not speech. Money is money; speech is speech.

Negligent Discharges: My own personal confesion.
9teeneleven replied to Will Carry's topic in General Chat
There is a .380 sized dent in the back of my safe to remind me. Missed the barrel of my mosin by about an inch. I ran downstairs yelling to my wife that I was ok. She didn't even realize what had happened. -
I have one of the CZ huglus, a ringneck. I love it. No cheap enough cost wise to qualify as a low cost gun (I paid $800), but a lot of value for the money.

The Disclose Act (HR 5175) and NRA Hypocrisy
9teeneleven replied to TomR's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
The email I got today is the nail in the coffin. It began: "I appreciate the concerns that some NRA members have raised regarding our position on H.R. 5175, the "DISCLOSE Act." Regrettably, our position has been misstated by some and intentionally misrepresented by others. I hope you'll allow me to provide the proper context. The U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision was a significant victory for free speech and the Constitution." Recently, with Citizens United, the Supreme court ruled THE biggest attack on free speech in the history of the US. The decision was based upon the flawed metaphor "the market of ideas." It works as a metaphor until you forget that metaphors connect two different concepts: money and speech. However, money is not speech. Money is the tool of capitalism; speech is the tool of democracy. As much as in the past few years many have attempted to conflate capitalism and democracy, they are not the same thing. I glad I know where the NRA stands on the 1st amendment; they are willing to throw it under the bus in the name of defending the second amendment. The other problem is that the NRA seems more interested these days in selling me life insurance, a credit card, and a sweater with the NRA logo on it than actually defending the 2a. -
Thread protector when shooting
9teeneleven replied to 9teeneleven's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
This is on a handgun with a browning style barrel. The extra movement just seems to be loosening it. -
Are there any tips for keeping the thread protector from coming loose during shooting? Do you even shoot with the protector on? I was thinking about a drop of blue loctite.

Still biting my tongue with much vigor... son...

Edit: Ok, Im gonna resist stirring the pot. The guy has a nice voice, believes in something, and served our country. Good for him. Seriously.

Actually it wasn't our anthem until 1931. A nice performance, but I thought the tea party was big on preserving and protecting the constitution. Did they miss the bit about separation of church and state?

I think the taurus is hands down the best choice. You should be able to find one new pretty close to $525. For that price (and above) you will only find mil-spec stuff from other makers. Mil-spec is cool and has a nice retro vibe to it, but all those features on a Taurus are actually useful. Besides, Mil-spec notched sights are cool on an original m1991a1, but really they are not fun to shoot with.

If I needed a 9, I would be all over those $399 P07s that buds has!

It's hotter than the web. I've found the federal to be a little more accurate.

I know it's not a purist finish, but I love the look of a parkerized 1911

Ok, but I don't think the show is about atrocities. It is about how the pacific theatre took a psychological toll on American soldiers. WW2 is often called a "just war" (arguably the last one in us history to be referred to that way), I've found it interesting to see how the show has explored the idea that even if a war is "just," it is still often morally ambiguous. I think that to try and understand that makes all the more real the sacrifices that these soldiers made.
-
I love the rtf2 finish. I just sold a 23 but as soon as I find a good deal on a 19 ( oh yeah, and some $$$) I am on it.
-
again, i dont think the show is meant to part of the historical record. it is meant to be about the 3 central characters.
-
so the japanese soldier using the okanawans as human shields wasnt a japanese atrocity? the pacific has been very different from bob, but the conflicts are very different. the pacific has much more of the Kurz descent into madness feel to it. i dont even see it as showing american atrocities as much as it is showing us how war strips out idealism of even the purest person and kills the human soul. this has been particularly true in the sledge storyline.
