I didn't save the hammer pic, sadly. You can see the safety lever on the side. Striker guns don't use lever safeties, only hammer guns do.

30x19 is the metric listing. Basically it's the Tokarev round/caliber. The background on the caliber: The Tokarev is a bottlenecked cartridge, somewhere along the lines of 9mm +P ballistics. I'm thinking this might be a European-only model for a while? That's why it's listed as a 30x19?

Not on this one. He mentioned how tight it was, so it's either lok-tite or cross threaded. All your proposal will do is break the drill bit off.

Didn't know he was still alive. I watched his show as a kid. Thought it was weird he talked to the camera & then others did it decades later, i.e. Bernie Mac. Bob Denver (Gilligan) got his start on that show too.

I agree with the left-hand drill bit. The screw is most likely too small for using an ez-out of any type? Applying some heat to the slide is out because it would ruin the finish, IMO. Most likely S&W will trash it & just send you a new slide asy. Please allow me to say this wouldn't have happened had you purchased an H&K.......................

Gaston is just as senile as Pedo Joe these days. Don't listen to him.

AK owners, have you often thought 7.62x39 just wasn't cutting it? Wanted a bit more Hp, like a true American? Gents, do I have THE gun for you!!!!!!! Introducing the G3-47 in 8mm Mauser! No more getting ridiculed by the .308 guys at the 400 yard line! Heck, you may even have more range than they do now? Don't let this one slip you by!

Actually, you want a gun smith & not an armorer, IMO. In the Nashville area, there's two main gun smiths. Jeff Walle (pronounced "Wally") at Guns & Leather in Greenbriar. He works part-time, like Wed -Sat? He's been smithing for over 30 years now. Used to shoot competitively in multiple disciplines, so he knows what shooters want. Another smith works out of Franklin Gun Shop, in (duh!) Franklin, TN. I don't know his name but he too has been doing it for over 30 years. Sorry I couldn't help more. Maybe someone else will come along with better options? Good luck!

Memphis. Memphis is always the answer for where to go to go shoot......................... Seriously, given that you're in the Cookeville area, I would think the Oak Ridge range is what you're looking for. I could be wrong but I recall they have a 1000 yard line there? Membership is reasonable but I've never applied, so there's that too. I would imagine once you've enlarged your social circle a bit there you'll find a connection for some property to shoot on. I'm sure there's other long distance shooters around there, There has to be, IMO. Visit the local gun shops, schmooze a bit, see what they can tell you for options? Tullahoma host 1000 yard matches but they don't allow casual shooting unless that's changed in the last few years. The range is on Arnold AFB. Good luck!

Due to my dazzling personality and charming good looks, someone I know VERY high up in Glock sent me this. This is a pre-SHOT Show pub shot, so don't get too caught up in the quality of the pic. Caliber is 7.62x25, which is indeed surprising, IMO. However, that's not THE biggest surprise. It has a HAMMER! Yes, gents, a Glock with a HAMMER! (Which is why you see the safety lever on the side there, duh!) Not sure how well the caliber will sell though?

Then stop beating a dead horse. Also stop splitting hairs over semantics. Everyone agrees you did in fact ask about a rumor. Everyone agrees there's no such rumor in any shape, form or style. I urge you to just stop this thread before it goes into the ditch any further, IMO.

True for everything from cars to clothes to women..........................

LOL! No, it won't. First of all, new valves don't use rubber valve seals anymore. Silicon doesn't get "cut" buy water. Secondly, water dripping doesn't generate enough velocity to "cut" a rubber seal. Water HAS to have high velocity in order to act as a cutting agent. Most likely your seal was buna rubber & was old to begin with. New replacement gaskets should be silicon rubber (unless you buy at Wal-Mart) & last for decades. Drip on freely, gents.

I had a bid in on a Marlin lever in .35 Rem caliber. I stopped at $600 but with like 5 hrs left it was up to $699 or so. Then this morning I looked to see the selling price. It ended up at $792. That seems to be the average price for the average used lever action these days. I need to find a guy going through a divorce. LOL!

Put a wash cloth or dish rag in a ball, under the water drip. You won't hear a thing.

I just recently added a second safe rather than sell my old one & deal with all that BS. OP, check DT McCall's before you buy anywhere. When I was shopping, they had THE best pricing & will deliver to your house.

What do you think they're going to get for $10/hr? A firearm engineer?

I'm in the TFA & closely tuned into Nashville's best gun shop. Never heard a whiff of what the OP is asking about. The only thing that could even possibly be along these lines is the Glock Store in Nashville. There's a lot of 80% Glock frames being sold, so this may or may not affect them at all. I certainly don't want to start a rumor that it was them doing it because I certainly don't know. But it sure as heck isn't Beretta nor Barrett. I agree it's a BS rumor. While not perfect, the TN legislature is pretty pro-gun outside of the usual suspects. Party on, Garth.

For me, that alone would make it not worth the purchase. Why have a 8X scope if it won't work on that setting?

Why don't you just let your faucet drip water slowly on on those single digit temp nights? Takes away all the worries & stress.

Heat tapes draw very, very little wattage. I doubt a generator would be able to tell if they were even on, IMO.

You can blame Hollyweird for Mississippi's rep, IMO. People from outside the South don't really get the normal relationship between races here, IMO. 99% of us don't give a rat's ass what you are other than a good person or not, IMO. One can place the losing of the Rebels name squarely on the woke crowd, IMO. I still want to go to a game though.

Gun would have to get bigger in order to handle the .45acp. That kinda defeats the entire premise of this particular gun, IMO.

That surprises me. I've never had a FN gun that wasn't accurate. I too have a FNX-9 & it rivals my H&K USP's for accuracy. That's the highest compliment I can give a pistol, IMO. If FN would get off their butt & do some better marketing, people would discover how well built they are. They're an excellent buy for the price, IMO.

25 deg this morning in SE TN. Had rain yesterday but not a spec of snow here. I doubt there was any east of Monteagle. The mtn range seems to funnel storms to the north.
