Because law enforcement and regulatory agencies are in the business of providing guidance via punitive measures.

That was completely uncalled for.

Go Vols.

If you can get it to the DOS prompt again run chkdsk /r /f (if you haven’t already). That will actually fix the disk, if it still doesn’t boot then drive is toast of there is a slim chance the OS is corrupt.

Prices are all over the place for USGI 1911’s. What the CMP sells them for is irrelevant. They selling at well under market value and really have no bearing on what current prices are. Those who are flipping their CMP 1911’s are getting well more than what they paid for them.

Totally.

How long is this mask debate going to go on? Really, it’s beyond ridiculous. All of a sudden everyone is an Internet epidemiologist who never really cared about their fellow humans to begin with, much less understand basic, common sense, grade school science. The confirmation bias of hearsay just continues to spread the virus. I hate this situation with a passion, but I’m not going to let personal arrogance get in the way of doing the right thing...and I am extremely independent and arrogant in many ways.

I hesitatingly vote a year or two and that’s being optimistic. Actually, I think the next couple of years on into perpetuity are going to be very rough.

It really all depends. I’m no expert but based on the pics it’s at least a $1,500 pistol. Originality has everything to do with it. There is a website that everyone on the CMP 1911 forum directs everyone to for specific parts ID. I’d start there to at least figure out what you have.

Not really. Worthless when it comes to milsurp.

More or less if understand it correctly. So exactly how much personal information is GB going to send to the States when remitting the tax proceeds?

All that ain’t gonna happen, but you sir are a master of potty humor!

This one time, at band camp... Girls have been uptalking since the 90’s. Guys do it too when they’ve been around one of them long enough. Thing is some of of those people marry and then you have to listen to it on a professional basis...and they’re way to old to be doing it.

I’m willing to give it a go but would much prefer the caress of warm water rather than the shock of cold that is sure to result not only in discomfort but a “reduction” in ego and “presentation”. Got no hot water source next to the throne and am not going to have hoses all over the place, so I may just have to continue life as a heathen. Same for the Mrs.

I never thought these words would come out of my mouth but...what kind of bidets do you fellas like?

Cathie Wood may be shown the door soon according to what I saw today.

Speaking of guns, I think you left one little detail out of your report of what looks to be a great experience!

Best of the Tokarev style pistols IMO. The safety required for import on those is very well done unlike those found on the Romanians that often effect functionality. They are nice and loud too. Crowd-pleasingly loud.

The library would be extensive. Slapping together an AR is not “gunsmithing”. Gunsmithing is a craftsman’s art that is being rapidly lost, or nearly is....like tuning a revolver action, properly restoring/refinishing grandaddy’s shotgun, replacing the barrel on an M1917 rifle, installing a 1911 trigger, etc., etc.

Kroger must have sent all their TP to Knoxville judging from what I saw today. We are blessed with #### tickets. Might have to go back tomorrow and hoard some.

True that, but this being the most well fed nation on the planet, some folks might be better off missing a meal or two.

Brass stripper clips? The tabs should bend, not break, usually. They are reusable to an extent.

Very, very sad to hear. I’m speechless.

Fun fact: one of Trump’s first executive orders was to roll back a regulation requiring financial advisors to work in their client’s best interest.

The issue of President is settled.
