"ammo at a decent price"? Have you been drinking on a Tuesday? Beautiful rifle!

Sight pusher tool recommendations
bubbadavis replied to lock n' load's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
The MGW Sight Pro works well. It’s a universal-ish tool. There are specific parts (can be purchased separately) which are gun specific. I’ve used mine with Glocks, Sigs, 1911s, HKs, and S&Ws. While it isn’t marked for how far you move the sight, I use a vice and a dial indicator when warranted. I’ve got a spreadsheet to calculate how far to move the sight to affect POI. -
A local HSV shop closed its doors back in October for the same reason. They simply couldn’t get inventory (guns or ammo). The owner kept his FFL to do NFA transfers out of his house.

Where would "social media" be on the list?

Technical debt is what happens when you choose the quick/easy route versus the correct approach in a software project. It almost always results in eventually having to significantly invest in reworking existing code to make further maintenance or extension possible. I've seen systems where I've recommend redeveloping from scratch due to the technical debt. They could have rewritten the application more economically than maintaining it.

A brief explanation of my knife making.....
bubbadavis replied to Grand Torino's topic in General Chat
One of my favorite knives is one I asked you to build several years ago. You asked for specifics and I basically said "do your magic". It turned out way better than anything I could imagine! I hope you keep creating your art. -
Great to hear - keep improving!

I went with a G19 MOS for my RMR experiment. I found a new Gen 4 for 620 at a local dealer - which seemed somewhat reasonable (for an impatient person) in the crazy COVID, pre-election market. I’ve actually seen other dealers at 599 for non-MOS G19s around here. For me, the price difference between slide milling/refinishing vs buying another pistol made it an easy decision.

Sorry to hear this robin48. Get well soon - prayers on the way.

I'm at a loss for words. Steelharp will definitely be missed.

Yep, the SEC is brutal. Easy wins are few and far between.

Not for the last decade based on the game results. UT fans won't admit it but Vanderbilt is a bigger rival than Florida, Georgia, or Alabama the last ten years. 105 November 20, 2010 Nashville Tennessee 24–10 106 November 19, 2011 Knoxville Tennessee 27–21OT 107 November 17, 2012 Nashville Vanderbilt 41–18 108 November 23, 2013 Knoxville Vanderbilt 14–10 109 November 29, 2014 Nashville Tennessee 24–17 110 November 28, 2015 Knoxville Tennessee 53–28 111 November 26, 2016 Nashville Vanderbilt 45–34 112 November 25, 2017 Knoxville Vanderbilt 42–24 113 November 24, 2018 Nashville Vanderbilt 38–13 114 November 30, 2019 Knoxville Tennessee 28–10

Awesome news! Hope you are making a jailbreak soon, Steelharp. Praying you continue to heal.

ad-closed Glock 20 10mm - Emergency Must Sell
bubbadavis replied to RobertNashville's topic in Firearms Classifieds
Happy Thanksgiving! Just sent paypal. -
Awesome to hear you are improving. Just keep getting better even if it's a little at a time. Still praying for you!
-
Your TGO family will pray you out of there sooner! Thanks for the update. I was wondering how you were doing.
-
Prayers sent. Get well quick, Steelharp!

The RMR is plenty bright for me. It's not overpowering so you can get a decent site picture.

Originally, I tried a RDS on a Ruger MKIII. Never could hit anything with the RDS. Took it off - kept the MKIII and use it as a suppressor host. It's *almost* as accurate as my S&W 41.
-
Oh, I've been wearing prescription lenses for 34 years. I couldn't see the pistol without them!
-
Thanks to @TGO David and his raving about red dot sights, a great deal on a RMR, and a good deal on a 4th gen Glock 19 MOS, I finally decided to try a RDS on a pistol for the first time in 20+ years. I can't wait to try this out and see how my crappy eyes work with the RMR. Astigmatism has its challenges. Yes, decent deals on pistols still exist. I picked up a new MOS for less than I've seen standard Glocks listed for here.

Looks like no hammer but a striker fired rifle. I once had a problem with a Colt Woodsman misfiring. Turns out the striker had broken. When things lined up perfect, it fired. When things didn't line up, no joy but a definite 'click' when I pulled the trigger. Only when disassembled was I able to see the striker was in two pieces. Not sure if you broke the rifle down this far, but checking the striker might be worth the time.

Went into a LGS in Huntsville today. They had 9mm and 45ACP Blazer Brass for $25/box with a 4 box limit. They also had enough 223 to start a war - if you wanted to buy by the barrel.

I wonder if he attached the rings using a stick welder.

If a shot doesn't ring, you just yell out "bullseye!" and no one is the wiser.
