"We have met the enemy, and they is us" Quoted from POGO

Does anyone not think the Dems are not doing this on purpose knowing it'll get voted down. It's all a matter of who gats blamed. The Dems make a proposal that has things in it (poison pills) they know are non-starters but they get to say look at us, we tried to be reasonable but those mean old...

And Illinois doesn't want someone fighting back or defending themselves; Their latest is no firearms allowed on Public Conveyances, Metra bus and trains, CTA bus and trains etc. He'll be free quickly if he isn't already as the standard is No-cash bail, put an ankle monitor on and go about your...

I well remember E.R. Shaw. Shaw barrels were on many a custom rifle. There was a time when your choices for a barrel were Douglas or Shaw. Truth be known; I think most people planning a new build once more baller makers came on the scene would go with Shilen, Hart, Lilja if it was in their...

Wait a minute; You had a blow out, fired it again and had another with stock damage that SA fixed for you saying AMMO ProbleM, Then you went right back and fired more of it with the same result. Why in the world would you keep shooting that particular ammo? Kinda like burning your self than...

I second an 11 - 12 lb spring. I felt the stock 9 pounder was too light, It is my opinion that they use a 9# because a lot of people will shoot only the cheapest low powered 115 grain loads. My preference is for 124 grain S&B, Norma etc that are in the 1181 - 1200 fps range ( or 123 grain...

Pretty sure Springfield uses a 9# recoil spring and, I believe a 23# mainspring (hammer spring) in their 5" 9mm 1911's

More views of my John Culina Grips in Hawaiian Koa with tight fiddleback. They change with the angle and have an almost 3-D effect in the figure.

If it's loaded the top round may be moving forward. Otherwise ????? I tried the Wilson ETM 10 round magazines in my 9mm Ronin and it choked on them badly. Would not feed and you couldn't insert one all the way with a full 10 rounds and the slide closed. It would stop just short of latching...

Everybody and every company flying flags sure didn't last long though. back to burning them now.

Great Plane; I have seen the Strawberry Bitch many times at the Air Force Museum.

Companies I worked for made quite a few CH-47 gear boxes and other various gears. Before I retired I interacted a lot with the Boeing Aircraft Quality Rep. He was always trying to correct me because I still called it Boeing-Vertol. He also likes what he called my Boeing hat. I had to tell...

Another set of 1911 grips from John Culina. These are KOA wood from Hawaii. I have no plans for them yet but I just had to get them.

You have seen it with the Curly Myrtle wood it used to wear. Here it is again wearing some different John Culina grips: Fiddleback Claro walnut finished with tung oil.

Seems to me that H&R built some of the original M14's

It has never gotten any worse, I just ignore it and don't fret it.

I don't think that Ronin's use an ILS MSH. At least my Ronin doesn't

I like Tractiongrip. They have it pre-cut for a 1911 and others AND it come in multiple colors and either grit or rubber. I have the grey grit tractiongrip tape on my Ronin and it blends with the stainless frame nicely. Here is a post from a couple of weeks ago that has good info and some...

I see that Tractiongrips makes grip tape for the hellcat. I like theirs on a 1911 as you have a choice of colors and a chouce between grip or rubber. Their Grey matched the stainless frame on my Ronin well.

He's running for a third term; his new Lt Gov pick is straight out of the Chicago machine.
