I knew Johnson never had a chance. I don't know why she even tried. Hopefully, now she'll just fade away and shut the hell up.

No, They've already admitted that they won't push it as they know they have no chance. They were just trying to make a point. But city leaders think they can use this to push for more state gun control. Yeah, not hardly. Ain't gonna happen. Memphis thinks they deserve special attention due to the high crime rates and wants the state to bend to their will and bail them out. They absolutely refuse to admit that the Memphis crime problem is their own damned fault. Stuff like this is why the State Legislature doesn't take Memphis seriously. BTW: all 3 referendums passed by 80% or more. Yeah, Memphians are that stupid.

These are great little guns. A miniature 1911 and carried cocked and locked. The locked breech design makes recoil easily manageable and a great SA trigger. I have two of 'em.

JMHO: I don't consider ARs to be battle rifles. ARs are the so-called Assault Rifles. Battle rifles are full size rifles chambered in heavier calibers. Garrands, M1As , FALs and so forth. Of these, I prefer the M1A. Now if you want a better AR, there's plenty of 'em out there.

Some of y'all actually watched the coverage? I watched other stuff, but every couple of hours switched to the local CBS station just long enough to see the latest results. But I couldn't watch for more than a few minutes.

Link don't work for me.

I have a MBT in my M&P-15. Its much better than the stock trigger and was reasonably priced. No its not one of the expensive super triggers, but it works just fine for me.

Garufa hit it. After WW II many British Service Revolvers were returned to the U.S. and had their chambers reamed out to .38 Special. Another way to tell is by barrel length. British revolvers usually had 5" barrels. The U.S. guns were 4". U.S. guns were generally marked "property of United States" or sometimes just "Property of U.S. on the top strap. British guns often had a whole array of proof marks on them. Be aware that .38 Specials will work in these guns, but depending on how good the reamer was, they can swell badly and sometimes split. Pictures would help.

its on my street, but the next block over. I only noticed because it was dark and they have the entire yard lit up. So I guess (hope) there isn't much chance of the contamination spreading any time too soon.

This evening I walk out into my front yard and see that one of my neighbors down the street already has their yard all lit up with Christmas decorations. WTF! Halloween was yesterday, Thanksgiving is in 4 weeks and they're already pushing Christmas?!! I'm nowhere near ready for this crap.

If you want it to be, sure. The point is that good gunsmiths ain't cheap and could take a long time. Is the receiver drilled and tapped for a scope mount? I'm guessing it already has a scope on it? If so, you could go with a low power scope or optical sight fairly easily and do it yourself.

Wow! I didn't realize she was that old. I always liked her. Good actress who excelled in the part of the ditzy blonde. Very funny lady. But she could also do drama as well. Sad to see her go.

Ok, so you want iron sights on the rifle. Makes more sense now. Was the rifle ever set up for iron sights? Are there dovetails in the barrel, screw holes in the receiver and such? If so, it wouldn't be hard. If not, that's gonna require expensive mill work from a good gunsmith. It might be possible to add a band type front sight and a rear receiver sight without too much trouble. But that would also take a gunsmith that knew what he was doing. I know a guy in Memphis who could probably do it. But he stays very busy and it might be months, even a year or more before he could get to it. In fact, most every decent gunsmith is backed up big time. This won't be a quick project.

I don't know of any company making fixed sights for a rifle. Every rifle needs to be zeroed now and then. However, many rifles use fairly simple sights that once zeroed are pretty much fixed. What kind of rifle and why fixed sights?

One more time.

Still bumpin'

Remove the magazine and pull the trigger. The gun must be uncocked. Look at the rear of the slide. Notice that circle around the firing pin hole. That's the slide catch. Use a punch, pen, pencil, whatever and push it in. Leave the slide in the full forward position. With the lock pushed in, lift up on the rear of the slide until it clears the frame. It should come off by moving it forward a bit and lifting up. BTW: be careful of that slide catch. Its spring load and will take off like a rocket. Another BTW: Note the direction of the firing pin. If you put it back in backwards the gun will go together, but it won't feed. Yep, its a cheap POS gun. But the darned things are absolutely reliable and go bang every single time. I like mine.

I'm a long time fan of the Dead. I'm sorry to hear of Lesh's passing. But the band already died with Garcia.

The feds are dumping their problem illegals on the States to deal with. They let them in and then we have to deal with and pay for them. Louisiana just sued ICE and the Feds for sending them an illegal Chinese man who has tested positive for a rare and highly contagious form of Tuberculosis. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/illegal-chinese-immigrant-exposed-hundreds-in-louisiana-to-rare-tb-strain-state-sues-mayorkas-ice/ar-AA1sOBqv?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=92a5cdb0e77b4468b9d2bbf3bc7c0db4&ei=388

Its still there, but now its a Quartet. The only Drive-In left anywhere close to Memphis.

He also took a shot at Doc Savage in the 1970s. I saw the movie and he was pretty good. But the story and effects tried to go with a campy, pulp style and it failed miserably. Too bad, that could have gone into a whole series of movies.
