Amen +2. And may I add: posted is posted as far as I'm concerned.

I might have half a box laying around somewhere. It's your's if you want it and if I can find it. My dad had one just like it that he let me shoot back in about 1980. I remember we had to go buy a box of .38 s&w. Probably used 15 or 20 rounds of it. Well, somewhere I've got what's left of that box of ammo. I dug that Iver out of Mom's closet over Christmas. Dang! We left the thing loaded. Pulled the shells out with all kindas green crude on 'em and threw 'em into the trash. As far as I know no Memphis garbage man ever said a word. Anyway, that old thing is so rickety I will never shoot it. Musta' been that way when I did all those years ago!

Definitely early 1900's or late 1800's. I've got a repro 1897 Sears catalog that lists them. I like old stuff like this.

I bought an extra Power Ball today. In anticipation...

Lemon "squeezer" would be a Smith & Wesson. They had the backstrap safety.

She must have been a real pistol! HaHa. Grandma's rock. Did she carry it around? Is that Iver Johnson a .38? Don't shoot it what ever it is. I've got one that about 60% nickle remaining and it's about to come apart.

You did that to torture me didn't you. Man, when I build my time machine..... And back then, you could have those goodies sent right to your door. No license required!

I think they already are.

A thing of interest. I am no expert but that Eagle stamp is a WWI era inspection stamp and the si6 may possibly be S16. Everything seems to point to S and a number.

Hmmm, Interesting. So you have a special form with your name and some serial numbers sent to the ATF and local Sheriff. You're probably entered into the "Gun Nut" database and God know what other systems. May not be "registration" but you sure as hell are kept track of!

Finally we're about to find out who's the best of the best of the best. According to the BCS. Normally I hate Florida, but it's the SEC going again for National Champs - so go GATORS! It's the last football game for like 8 months so I'm kinda excited.

Who may have one anywhere? I'm beginning to think they don't exist! All I remember is last April or May I was at a gun show saw several - for about $279 a pop. Bersa .380's were going around $229 (blue, black or two-tone) and the Firestorm version for about the same or less. And there were lot's of 'em. Been kicking myself in the buttocks ever since for not getting one!

There were two Ishapores there today. Trust me, not worth the effort to come up @ $175 each. Stocks in very bad condition.

:clap:Congratulations and keep up the good work! You're better off and so is your family. Heck, you could put several holster inside your belt now! It takes a brave man to post before & after like that!

Pictures? If it's new but a few years old may be a knock-off of another design, which most likely it is. In other words, may work the same way as something else that a manual could be found for. Someone may be able to recognize the design with some pictures 'cause the Internet's failing me on this one! There's only a coupla different ways semi's come apart (unless you dealing with new-fangled plastic fantastic!). Fiddle with it long enough and you'll get it apart. Don't think you need to worry about having this, that or the other off by .5mm putting the thing back together and totally jackin' it.

But will you still be "packin" if you carry .38's in it?

And maybe 2 or 3 trips there for every project. And going to Lowe's then having to go to Home Depot and vice-versa. Congrats! Just remember, clean the gutters before it rains 238" in one month!

A Glock when I was in there at noon today. They've got some random Glock magazines, don't remember what flavors.

You are correct, sir. Good people but since they moved over to Papermill last year has been kinda lacking. Never seemed to fill the racks back up. Awful location. I did find a set of RCBS 30-06 dies for $25. Can't beat that! There still some stuff there. Worth checking out if you get a chance.

Guns N' More on Papermill Dr. is going out of business. Just happend to drive by today and though I'd step in. Just a few guns left and other odd & ends. I hate to see a store close!

I'm ready to build myself an ark!

I've been considering a compensator. Like this: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=683924 Anybody have any experience with this one?

Why 1911? Why Not! There are many reasons why I like the thing. Most are intangible and hard to describe. I do not carry one, but: - I love shooting it. You know you've got a GUN in your hand. - Steel and wood. There ain't nothing better. - I can feel the slide and action working when I pull that trigger. - It pushes back, doesn't snap. - Close to 100 years of battle proven design, none other has that! - It was not designed on a computer! - Good ones rattle after awhile. It feels like a contraption and that make it fun to shoot for me. - The grip angle, barrrel length and mechanism are perfect. - Ever looked at the business end of one? That's a big bore! I just like 'em. Never really tried to compare the 1911 to anything else. FInd it hard to do. Everything has it's place and JMB's masterpiece seems to endure past everthing else.

What about the Walnut AR stocks! I need to make the trip, as so many have described, to your place. You have that tent sale/party I'll be there. Maybe we could have a state TGO "Convention". BTW, thanks for the Kel-Tec offer, it's mighty tempting but first I need to benefact and secondly another caliber gonna's blow me away.
