    Harry sold the shop

    Because he could! Actually he wore that shirt a lot. However in my mind he's always wearing that plain white t-shirt. Funny thing in that photo: If you look in the upper left there's a plaque. (Harry was always getting plaques from all sorts of groups he supported) Underneath the plaque is...

    OMG! Guns Galore in Killeen, TX

    Brock was a good guy to deal with. When I got out I was a little low on cash and was forced to sell my 1911. He gave me more than a fair price on it, and even commented on how well I'd maintained it. I probably could have got a little more from a private sale, but I was more than happy with...

    IWB for "heavy set" fellas?

    A wife beater is definetly the way to go in Florida. I carried a 1911 in both a Galco Royal Guard as well as a Galco NSA. Of the two I'd say go with the NSA or a similiar styled (Sam Andrew's McDaniel II comes to mind) holster that has the loop on a skirt. This always seemed more comfortable...

    Artificial heart valves & shooting

    Not to mention that if it was a single "connected" unit, placement would require surgical implantation of the lead to the epicardium. I'm thinking a thorocotomy to implant the lead with a "tunnel" up the pacemaker pocket. Makes for a hell of a changeout.

    Artificial heart valves & shooting

    Pacemakers are generally implanted in the weakside, because you'll lose a little use of that arm for a few weeks. That being said I did an implant on a left handed person who requested a right side device implant so he could continue to shoot. One of the pacemaker reps that I deal with said...

    OMG! Guns Galore in Killeen, TX

    Is Action Pawn the one that's south of 190? I forget the cross street. If so I remember going in there back in the early to mid 90s. I think I bought I a Bear compound bow from them. There used to be a shop in, I think, the Cove, downtown if my memory hasn't failed, and the owner was Class...

    OMG! Guns Galore in Killeen, TX

    Was that Brock's Gunstore? I sold him a 1911 back when I was stationed at Hood in the mid 90s.

    RIP Harry Beckwith

    Justin, Rob sold the range back in the spring of 2005, long before Harry passed away. I've been into the new establishment only once. Sad to say it is nowhere near the place it was. Rob still lives in Micanopy. Holly, Harry's 2nd wife, still lives in the house. Yeah no one could run...

    Changing mossberg 500 mag tube

    I've got an 8 shot that I bought new in 1999. Not sure if mine was the exception, but it only took hand pressure to take the tube off. Actually it suprised me a little but no big deal. The barrel should be enough to hold the tube stationary. Tension from barrel nut secures fore end of...

    Can steel be reloaded?

    I have a bucket just for steel cases I run into. When it gets full I take to a recycling center to cash in. I also have a similiar set up for brass that's run its lifespan.

    Back Bore/Vang/ Others...What's the Difference?

    I remember coming across a shotgun webpage, mainly for skeet shooters, that did tests on what mods were beneficial to shotgunners. IIRC they determined that forcing cone was the most beneficial followed by choke work. I don't remember what they said specifically about porting but I wanna say...

    Ka-Bar USMC

    I paid $20 for my Camillus Marine Combat knife back when I was in the service. For the price, it can't be beat as an all around knife.

    Mod's 19 - 66 - 686

    I'm just the opposite. I think the 6" 586 is better balanced than the 4".

    Model 686 purchase... Did I do OK?

    You done good! Sweet looking little shooter, but I must confess I've always thought the m-19 or m-66 snubbies were a little sexier! Also I'd give you $275!
