...and it looks great. I really like that style.

I believe a properly built 1911 cannot be fired by pulling the trigger unless the grip safety is disengaged. If you DROP a 1911, id doesn't really make much difference whether your holster covers the trigger of not.                  So was it the holster's fault or not?   I'm not trying to be obstinate her guys, really I'm not. Holsters which cover the trigger are a relatively new fad. Guys got by fine for many, many years without this luxury. Look at some old photos of Texas Rangers, or early FBI agents, and you'll likely see sidearms with the trigger fully exposed, yet they somehow got through life without shooting themselves in the leg.   It seems that if something is on the internet, it often gets repeated over and over, regardless of whether it has any merit or not.

No. Tere's a sawsall, drills, prybars, and other assorted goodies within reach of my safe.

Gotta call B.S. on this one! If the bolt will close on it, my mini will fire and cycle it......and throw the brass into oblivion!

Actually, this one is a Winchester reciever, but a Blue Sky Production stamped mixmaster. I just need a bolt, and a way to ensure correct headspace. If you could get the guy's contact info who has the carbine parts, I would really appreciate it.   Luckily, I have what I believe it a "correct" Inland. It is in very good condition, so I prefer shooting the Winchester, as it is very well worn.

Today, I sheared a lug off the bolt on my Winchester M1 carbine. :cry: I was hoping someone in the Middle Tennessee area still has a box of parts, including bolts, as well as headspace guages. If not, any guidance you can provide as to the best way to replace the bolt would be greatly appreciated.

Do tell.

I'd stay the h3ll out of Davidson county, even if someone gave you a place there.

Yeah! Get a piece of the rock! :cool:

That's what I was getting at. Farmland in Franklin, Hendersonville, Chapel Hill, Murfreesboro, or Mt. Juliet is available from time to time, but you'll be competing with Titan's players and country music stars to buy it.

You're going to need a fat wallet to meet the criteria you've listed.

Looks very nice.   Here we go again with the open trigger guard. If the stars aligned perfectly to knock off your thumb safety, squeeze the grip safety, and pull the trigger, all at the same time, I doubt a piece of leather in front of the trigger will save you. Can anyone here point to an instance where a 1911 was discharged accidentally because of a holster with an open triggerguard?

They look great! You wouldn't have a set of Ruger emblems lying around, would you? They would look extra special awesome with emblems.

What is the point of doing this? If he doesn't need them at a time when someone has come to his house to confiscate them, he'll likely never need them. :squint:

Sadly, there are many things more usless than the duck pecker study that our government funds each year.

Move near Nashville, and I'll be willing to apprentice there for free!

Just make sure you don't follow behind them too closely while driving. :up:

I understand you better now. Sorry. I guess the point I always want to make is that the needs of a normal civillian are different than a military troop in combat. There, I'd likely feel more comfortable with a belt fed machine gun. Here, not so much.

I'm with you on the LCP. I'm a revolver man, but the LCP fits in my pocket better, and I don't have a cylinder digging into my leg. There are many better handguns, but they are likely to be left behind many times when the LCP is dropped into my pocket.

I had in my mind that was in Louisana.

Have you considered an M14? It seems to have all the features you want from both rifles.

I have both. As others have told you, mags for the mini are expensive. Off sandbags, my AR will outshoot the mini. Get off the bench, and I do much better with the mini. I prefer it in every way to the AR, but everyone has a different opinion. I can say that both are 100% reliable. The Mini 14 is prettier and just feels better to me.

I vote BOTH. Why would a gun guy limit himself to one rifle? I finally got around to buying an AR15. As I thought before I bought it, it really just ain't my thing. It does what it was designed to do, but I personally have little use for it. However, I own it, it doesn't eat anything, and I see no reason to part with it. Who knows what the future holds?

Are you a big gunfighter?

When the killin' starts, who do you blame? :shrug:
