That's the slide lock spring! Sounds like you might need one. It is not attached to the lock at all. Just slips in under a little crimp in that area. As I just discovered it has a tendecy to launch when you take it out. You might hunt around the bench there or just try to order one.

Might be a problem with the slide lock spring. I just discovered that mine was in all back-asswards but it was working fine! Here's what it's supposed to look like going in. BTW, not my picture - its this dudes....http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=30800

Sounds like you got hassled by some young Rambo's. OC and/or being made does sometimes have consequences. I hate that it happened to you. If you feel strongly enough about it make some calls Monday morning. Talk to the Chief or whatever the honcho calls himself there.

You are a good neighbor. Won't you be mine. (That's Mr. Rogers BTW) Don't know if I'd charge up there with daughter in car but people need to look out for each other. Alot of that has been lost over the years.

BSFNRA is just up the road from here and one of my favorite places around for the scenery. I've hiked and mountain-biked many a mile up there. Rough country. It's a National Recreation Area. All state rules of hunting apply; i.e. get a permit, hunt in season, contact HQ for more details. And Boar is out of season right now. http://www.nps.gov/biso/

Wow! A law enforcement agency profiling and stereotyping. I'm astounded. Sounds like MO needs to get their twit "analysts" in line. How is this a Conservative witch-hunt as your post suggests? I just don't see it.

Check this out! There are deals to be found, if you go to MALTA! Click on the newletter link at bottom. There are some importation issues but you can't help but drool. http://www.lsb-malta.com/ BTW, 1 Euro = $1.33

That's the best advice yet. Traded for drugs? It's most likely hot and needs to cool down. Get rid of it.

You might ask this guy. http://ja-jp.facebook.com/people/Fevzi-Erturk/1092243887

Can anyone buy there or just LEO's.

Sound like you may have it figured out.

Is that the same as Counter-bored?

+1, 2, 3 and 4. Started following this thread because of interest in the elusive Mason society. But after 170 or so posts it's really out of hand. Your religion is between you and your god. AND NO ONE ELSE. Plain and simple. If you have no tolerance for others then maybe a review of the Constitution is in order and perhaps a litttle understanding of other beliefs.

Are they starting up the Black Panthers again?

Actually, Kel-Tec is in the process of developing a "space-gun" that uses conventional gunpowder-based cartridges and projectiles in space for the space shuttle crew. The new design in the works compensates for the lack of oxygen in outer space, and therefore lack of combustion, necessary to detonate traditional propellants. Not only will American Astronauts be armed with the most powerful guns in space, but the ugliest as well!

I have a half-assed theory, if you'll follow me! When I started reloading 9mm, there were a couple of times I either did not expand the case mouths enough or the bullet was just a little bit crooked when seating. The result was a properly seated and straight bullet with an area of the case crumpeled down with an big area of the bullet exposed. Those loads could have easily been chambered and fired. Wonder if something similar happened to this one? Here's a pic found on the net that kinda explains what I'm talkin about. Look at the round on the right and image that area being blown out after firing. Disregard the crooked mangled bullets, caliber, etc. Image it as a normal with just that big area compressed.

So is he republican, liberal, democrat or conservative? Not that any of that matters. 'Cause it don't. Where is he coming from?

Outstanding! Of everything, I like shooting those the most. I've got an IBM that was my first "high-power", or center-fire rifle. Still have it and love it.

That is a fine lookin' boomstick So school me. I always thought those were stainless, but they're nickle-plated. Is that more corrosion resistant in "marine" (water) environments?

That's why I stop by Wally-World every other day. It's on the way home after all.

Verbatim from the campaign website about a year ago. Not one word changed. My point being they have not spoken on the issue since. There has been no action or any other mention of the issue from B.O. Please, let me know if I'm wrong.

Obama has nothing to do with it. It is the mere presence of a Democratically controlled government that has sent everyone in this county on a gun and ammo buying frenzy. Everyone in the business of selling arms and ammuntion are fueling this. It's the system at work, right? It is the role of business to create demand. Civilians are also competing with the military and law enforcement agencies for ammo. PD's are buying ammo like there's no tomorrow. The military consumes alot too. I have yet to hear one word from the White House regarding guns laws and ammutition. Not one.

It's highly dangerous if you're afraid of the college crowd, pseudo-hippies and the happy hour suits. No, Market Sq. is not bad at all. Unless maybe it's 4:00 in the morning when everything is closed. Now, if you're parked a couple or few blocks away and need to walk to the car late at night thay may be different.

The two West Knoxville Wal-Marts do not sell guns. Every other one in the general vicintity does!

Technically, it's a City of Knoxville Park. http://www.cityofknoxville.org/parks/marketsq.asp So I guess the answer would be no.
