That's a PPK/S.

Interesting article I found on another forum. Four reform candidates for NRA Board. Interesting tactic too. https://www.ammoland.com/2024/02/nra-board-elections-support-the-four-for-reform-candidates/#axzz8SOTPqzMG

Its here! I actually picked it up last Wednesday, but I just got around to taking pics and posting today. 1943 Colt frame with an Ithaca slide. This one is a bit nicer than the one I got in round 1. I'm happy with it.

There have always been the blind loyalist that believe the NRA can do no wrong. They're part of the problem and the reason WLP was able to do the things he did and do it for so long. The antis are celebrating and thinking they won. Actually we won because they succeeded in doing what much of the membership has been trying to do for years. Wayne is gone and the NRA is all the better for it. Now to see what the new leadership is gonna do. Get back in the fight or continue the old ways.

He'll pay the fine out of petty cash. There's no telling how much he actually got away with.

Don't forget these. Standard equipment in every first aid kit in the 60s & 70s.

Rare indeed. That's the unicorn of the Sig world. I've never seen one except in pictures. You are a very lucky man.

As near as I can tell, these will be sold through regular FFLs and not CMP. So its just a copy of the issue 1911A1. Ok, lots of companies make a basic 1911 copy. What's the big deal? It even marked “United States Property M1911A1 U.S. Army”. That makes me wonder if some nefarious people will buy these, do some minor reworking and try to pass them off as originals. Frankly, I think its a lot of hoopla over nothing. I won't be buying one.

Years ago I heard rumors of receivers cracking on their M-14 clones. But I think they fixed that.

I use Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer. Readily available at most auto parts stores. Helpful tip: label your fuel cans with the date they were filled. Use to oldest first.

I've been a pick-up man for most of my life. I still have my 2003 F-150 Super cab, but its semi-retired due to poor gas mileage. I keep it around for when I need to haul stuff. My current EDD is a 2011 Ford Escape. Nice little SUV and it gets 20+ mpg.

On another forum I visit, in their "Pic of the Day" thread, some folks like posting pictures of very attractive ladies in various states of dress. No nudity mind you, but still quite sexy. Recently, they've come to discover that some of these pictures are AI generated. You have to look closely, but when you do you notice small discrepancies. A missing finger or maybe an eye brow doesn't look quite right. Little things that most people don't notice. But they do look very real. All this AI stuff makes me nervous. Its only a matter of time before its used for nefarious purposes. If it isn't already. And now they can make movies? Put something fake on the evening news to control the people. The propaganda possibilities are endless. Scary stuff.

Update: I ordered the gun on Monday. Here it is Friday and it hasn't been shipped yet. Just got off the phone with them. My order should be processed today. However, they don't ship on Fridays and Monday is President's Day. Should be shipped on Tuesday. I find this quite odd as every time I've bought from CMP in the past, the order was processed and the gun shipped the next day. Apparently CMP is short staffed and running behind. Just thought y'all might want to be aware of this.

I recently got Amazon Prime Video. Reacher: Former Army investigator gets involved in mysteries. Great show! Highly recommend! The Boys: What if super heroes were a bunch of self serving, demented azzholes? Entertaining, but warning: very violent and bloody.

I always wanted to make music. But one thing just kept getting in the way. A complete lack of talent.

This it?

If you find something, post a link. I'd be interested in something like that.

Current gasoline is only good for maybe 4-6 months due to the government mandated Ethanol added to it. Its the Ethanol that breaks down quickly and ruins the gas. However, adding a good fuel stabilizer to stored gas can greatly improve its life. Treated gas will still be good after 2 years. I had one can that I sorta forgot about and it was still good after 3 years.

Done

I finally got through on the phone. It was quick and easy. Only took about 10 minutes. Ordered a Service Grade gun. Pics when it gets here.

Get some shims and raise the front mount or get a mount made for that rifle.

I got an e-mail Friday saying its my turn. Kinda confused me as last time they called me directly. But apparently, that's what they're doing now. I tried to call several times Friday afternoon, but the lady I'm supposed to talk to was always busy. Gonna try again on Monday.
