take the slide off and look and the frame rails. if there are scalloped cutouts, its what is called a Mud Rail. This was done to allow mud and dirt fall out and not hinder the slide action. however all it did was weaken the slide rails. Models with these cutouts have been know to split or crack along the rail. If it has this cutouts I would just look closely for cracks in the rail on either side. its believed that they stopped doing this in 1987, but some believe it was done in 1988. I don't think the "mud rail" versions are worth less, just something to look for. I wouldn't pay more that $550 depending on number of mags included. any less than 3 mags, I would go down. but depending on wear condition id say the range is $350-550. as Runco said, tade-ins have sold for $325

This is an interesting topic. I'm here to hear any more you might find on the topic, Caster.

This has nothing to do with how many dogs get shot every day. It has to do with a cop acting irresponsibly. Watch the dash cam video. The cop pulled his gun on the first human he sees, the shoots a dog after it barks ONCE. he clearly does not have the mindset or restraint to Serve and Protect Austin. If that were me he would have seen rage, unlike anything he had seen. I might not have been physical but I couldn't make any promises either.

What's the one shooting accessory you want but can't find?
Lumber_Jack replied to MacGyver's topic in General Chat
Definitely intriguing. I have a couple of questions or thoughts. Does it work in grass, and of so how short does it have to be? Also you cant be selective, you may pick up your neighbors brass as well. But its much easier to pick through a bucket on the bench than bent over on the ground. -

ZT 0561 Hinderer (Warning - pic heavy)
Lumber_Jack replied to mav's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I did some searching and just saw that today. I didn't realize the 550 was so similar. I seem to have lost my Benchmade Presidio, so I find myself in the EDC market. This is high on the list for sure. -
ZT 0561 Hinderer (Warning - pic heavy)
Lumber_Jack replied to mav's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I really like the 551 and 561. I wish these were more readily available, especially the 551. I like the smaller size. -
Be dedicated and take it slow. My biggest problem with p90x was that I thought I could do more than I actually could. This proved for very sore muscles and I would end up missing the next workout. Also remember that people who have lost large amounts of weight didn't do it in 90 days. Most did 3-4 90day periods. I say do it, an get an accountability friend. Someone to call when you feel like eating junk food. Or who will ask you if you've done your workouts that week. I wouldn't hesitate to hire a personal trainer to get a good start. Someone to push you to do the diet and exercise but will also tailor it to your physical capabilities. Either way Just Do It. Your family will thank you for not dying.

Where is the best place to find one? Even if I have to wait or order one. Everywhere I have checked has just said 'out of stock' -
Remington shotgun feed latch installation HELP!
Lumber_Jack replied to tylerc56's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Can you not just do as vthokies stated above? Reassemble without staking the latch. Then get it staked after turkey season. -

Have you called Coal Creek? -
Nice Ken, glad you got it to work. I like the offset design!

Looks good in the pics. What color is that? If it looks as good in person as it does in your pics , that's good results for that low price.

Nothing is universal. But you have it pretty good. Some calibers can be either small or large primer, such as .45 for example. But it's noticeably different in size.Also magnum rounds use magnum primers. But there are some brands that make large pistol/magnum interchangeable. That's what I use in Winchester. I can load .45acp or .41 magnum and don't have a ton of magnum dedicated primers.

UT Federal CU. been with them since college ~10years. Very happy with the customer service. Don't like their branch locations are posted with gun busters. But that's not enough to make me switch I also had a car loan with Mountain National Bank (seymore, pigeon forge and other east Tn locations). Very nice as well

From everything I've heard, it works fine. Just slow and takes some strength in some applications. Let's face it, for the money, even of you only deprimed with it, it wouldn't be a bad investment.
-
I've heard of people using them and liking them. I'm cool with priming and depriming while watching the tube, but when powder and bullets come into play, all other distractions should be eliminated. Just my opinion.

There is a gun show in Knoxville on May 5,6th. I would go see David aka dlm0375. He has the table under the big Red "Reloading Supplies" sign. He has anything you need and can point you in the right direction. There may be a multipurpose rifle powder that will be good for you too, I'm just not sure.

HOT ISSUE: What is the Proper Way of Transporting a Dog ?
Lumber_Jack replied to JG55's topic in General Chat
My dogs are crated when we leave the house. When we are home they will voluntarily go in the crate and sleep. It's not like Romney tied the dog to the roof with a leash Chevy Chase style. People transport dogs in crates and dog boxes all the time. Ever seen rabbit or coon hunters? Ever dog is in a box. Plus we are assuming it was an open crate. The plastic crates if turned with the door to the rear wouldn't even put significant wind on the dog. -
I love Chic-FIL-A but if they post in east Tn, I will be writing a poignant letter to the management.

Take pictures, upload to a hosting site (I like photobucket). Once uploaded, copy the [img/] link. Post the link in your thread.

Thanks dats82. I would probably just put a top track and a bottom track and fit a sheet of peg board between. I was looking to add a couple craftsman cabinets to it. I don't want to permanently mount cabinets so this seemed like a good option. We'll be moving in a couple years so I want to be able to move as much stuff with as little effort as possible.
-
Anyone use the craftsman Versatrack system in their garage or workshop? I like the stuff and how easily you can add features. I'm just looking for credible reviews, good or bad.

I've used some mil-surp from David at the gun shows, for .223. It's cheap and accurate. Do you live in Knoxville?
