    Ivory Gips for Blackhawk Family

    I had a couple of sets of Tru Ivory grips. Very nice. Interesting thing is that the site is still up, but I haven't received any emails back, but if you go on the EMF company's page they list some of their Colt SAA style replicas with what they call Tru Ivory. Haven't examined one to see if they...

    Ruger SA production line

    Due to past experience with a customer service lady, I would take what she said with a grain of salt...maybe more than one. My experience with one of their customer service reps, although years ago, was an issue with feeding on my brand new RSM .416 Rigby. Would not feed worth a you know what...

    Shrapnel

    Sometimes, yes, but not the rule of thumb. I was an X-Ray Tech for 30+ years, many in a Level 2 Trauma Center. We had a lot of injuries that had glass fragments/shards in involved in those injuries. With good images it was usually pretty easy to spot all but the smallest of artifacts.

    Your favorite movie weapon?

    Art Alphin of A-Square invented the 577 T-Rex. In Doc Savage, they claimed it was a 577, or 600 NE, can't remember as it has been 30 plus years since I have seen the movie. The rifle used in that scene was a post 64 M70 Winchester in .458.....gotta love Hollywood "license", right? In The Last...

    Your favorite movie weapon?

    I will have to pick three: Dirty Harry's M29-2 and the S&W M76 that Charlton Heston used in Omega Man and the Winchester M70 .458 African that was also used by Dirty Harry.

    Do you click the I Agree box without reading??

    The issue is, I have purchased the printer, really like it and want to be able to use it. If I don't click the "I agree" box when doing upgrades on either the software or new drivers, the printer may become unusable. Since I registered my printer when I bought it so as to be able to have a...

    Execution

    Don't know if anyone will agree with me or not, but I think that during the sentencing phase, where they decide on life in prison or the death penalty, I think that it should be left to the victim's family members to decide.

    OM 3 screw handling question

    As with Colt SAA's, you should really carry it with an empty chamber under the hammer. It will be a "5 shooter". The safety notch is not reliable enough to prevent a discharge if the gun is dropped and lands on the hammer. Theoretically, it is there to prevent a discharge if the hammer slips...

    Jury duty

    I was on a jury. Minor assault. Pretty cut and dried. The trial lasted 2 days. On the third day we were brought back in for deliberation, around 10 AM. We all decided that since the lunches they provided were very good, that we would not reach our decision until after lunch even though during...

    Run out of ideas, need help.

    I am in the same boat. Only three guns are calling me as must have....a nice British double rifle, a 1928 Thompson and an M-1 Thompson. The bad news, need to win a lottery to be able to get any one of them, let alone all three.....:D

    Michigan's new one buck rule

    Haven't hunted in many, many years, but I live in Colorado and they used to have, (still have?) a rule that you could only purchase one license, be it for bow or muzzle loader or modern rifle/pistol seasons. There were special licenses, but those were after the regular season ended or in certain...

    Do you click the I Agree box without reading??

    I have found on some websites, if you don't click you don't get to enter. Also with upgrades to computer software. There were new drivers to install for my Epson printer and it would not let me proceed without clicking the "I agree" box.

    What gun did you buy and years later thought, boy I'm glad I got that one.

    1915/1920 DWM double date Luger, all matching and about 90%. $125.00 1978 Colt SAA, 7.5", B/CH .45 Colt. Through a few trades, actually ended up costing me $0.00 1959 vintage M70 in 375 H&H, for $325, and then another 1930's vintage M70 37d H&H with Griffin and Howe side mount for scope, $350

    They did a great job! Looks fantastic. Nice to hear that they returned all the original parts.
