  1. You don’t loose springs. They vaporize. Owning a gun shop with an in-house gunsmith for 6 years. Upon closing the shop, we knew we would find a ton of springs. Nope, maybe one or two. There should have been a hundreds. If your gunsmith doesn’t drink brown water, smoke like crazy and cuss everything he lost a spring, be Leary of their talent. He passed in January and damn we miss him.

  2. Been doing it for years. Make sure your first projects are for your wife. Prime the pump for the proper tools later. 1st rule: you can never have enough clamps. Check building sight for end cuts. They usually don’t mind giving them to you and there’s a ton of things you can make with them.

  3. Because it is a deal. I paid this much for a 15 year old BMW K100 that I rode from Memphis to Oklahoma City nonstop. I could have continued driving, no problem. I’ve owned motorcycles since my 14 birthday. I’m now 66. If not for Two heart attacks and problem with balance, I would be on my way to Nashville pronto. Beautiful bike, It will sell soon.

  4. If the perp is armed? Live by the gun, die by the gun. My M1 Super 90 will launch 8-00 buck faster than they can blink an eye. That’s 72 30 cal projectiles in the air in less than two seconds. Little messy but, oh well. Supreme Court has also said that law enforcement is not responsible for your safety. Chew on that for a while. It’s time folks, it’s time.

  5. Come on guys. If you ever load with a Dillon, you’ll never use another. I’ve got a 550 that will not die. I’ve loaded enough 223 on it for 3 people doing serious shooting. Last year I bought a 750 to set up in 45 only and just the loader, strong mount and powder feed was nearly $1,300. This guy is taking a beating. I don’t think you could load enough to wear one out. If you have any issues with the Dillon, their customer service is first class. I broke a part on my 550 doing something stupid. I called, got to talk to a real human, wasn’t rushed. All they asked for was my mailing address. I asked for the cost. They shipped it for free!

  6. Doesn’t look like any trigger I’ve seen. My guess is that’s a fan speed control for an older car. Possibly an MGA? Their electronics was known as “The Prince of Darkness. “ 

  7. Love it. They also made one as a lever action. Model 88. I have an old friend that has killed a truck load of deer with it. His only concern is it needs to stay super clean. Like my PawPaw said, A man that won’t clean his gun, won’t wipe is behind.

  8. Stay as far away from Memphis as possible. I’ve been here all my life and it blows. I use to spend a lot of time in your neck of the woods working for FedEx. Spent lots of time on fire island, Oak Beach and the Oak Beach Inn. Use to be a restaurant at Sunrise (27) and the Robert Moses called Frankie BZs in west Islip and Frankie’s Fireside grill in Amityville, I think.   Great sirloin steaks and ribs. Tuesdays and Thursdays were always fun at Nathan’s. 
     

    Anyway, Welcome Back.

  9. I’m no 1911 expert but the NM in the serial number may stand for National Match. In that case it wouldn’t be a standard mil-spec. I’m sure someone will jump in on this. 

  10. My son and brother both live in Anchorage. They say almost everyone there Carries a 10mm high capacity Glock. I carry a .22 and make sure I’m not alone. Any trouble pops up I simply shoot who I’m with in the leg and walk away slowly.
