Congrats to the newlyweds! Jeez, I must be getting really old...they look so-o-o-o- young!!! LOL ;) Later, Jim

EXCELLANT, Dude! I want to throw my thanks in with the others. I found myself at work wondering if Nightcrawler had finished another chapter or not - then rushing home to the puter to check! I won't attempt to critique your work as it far outdoes any of my past feeble attempts at...

geojap & Daniel T - I forget...what was the score of the Texas Tech/Texas football game? JimB :D

Stolen guns This thread has stirred me up again! Back in September I had four shotguns stolen from my Mom's house. I made the report, with descriptions, serial nos, etc. Two weeks later I found them on a table at the local gun show! Went to the gun show promoter, called the cops, and...

Beren - My Griffon has the same "slop" in the trigger (a little looseness both side to side and up and down). Remember, though, this is not a custom made 1911, and a little tolerance is to be expected. After 1500 rounds and a little bit of polishing on the trigger channel in the frame and on...

I noticed that you solved your problem with some heavy manhandling. My Griffon did the same thing recently. The guide rod had appeared to come apart just enough to prevent the barrel bushing from turning and allowing even a field strip. My fix was like yours - cussing, prying, and a hammer...

7.62 FullMetalJacket- Unfortunately, Don had already passed the written exam and had posted a passing qualification score on the shooting part. I really think that the instructor was too dumbfounded by the events that he couldn't fail him for his stupidity, cluelessness, ineptness, lack of...

I would add that "Don" is the same person that showed me that 9mm Glock last year - muzzle first, with his finger on the trigger! "It's not loaded." He didn't understand why I got upset and offered to let him wear that Glock in an uncomfortable spot of his anatomy. Later, Jim

There's a fellow I work with that I'd like to nominate for a Darwin award. This fellow, let's call him "Don", is one of those who knows everything and doesn't listen to anyone but himself. Now "Don" and some others decided to take a CHL class. In Texas, that entails a specified number of...

Not a stupid question. Better safe than sorry when you are touching off an explosive just inches from your face! As far as my experience goes, the powder charge doesn't know if the bullet is a Sierra, Hornaday, Nosler, or whatever - just that it is 168gr. When you start changing components...

Signature #8413...Let's hope this works! I'll take at least one - maybe two!!! Jim :D

lurkers vs posters Hi! My name is Jim and I'm a (gulp!) lurker. There are a lot of interesting things being posted on THR that need to be reviewed and absorbed/contemplated/digested (your choice) before being responded to. Besides, I don't want to overwhelm all of you with my ignorance...

Just picked up a 629-1 (to replace the 29 I sold last year-but shouldn't have!! :banghead: ) Looking for another 1911 (everyone needs more than one...) A 625 would be nice and a 25 in 45 colt, too! Hmmmm...maybe I should win the lottery!:D
