Big trouble at the Piggly Wiggly, of all places.
leroy replied to Will Carry's topic in General Chat
Garufa... "...While I don't agree with Yassin's new-found "activism" or his stances on may things, I think maybe the University's response (including UTPD) might have been just a little much. Buy all accounts he's a helluva nice guy. He now has three locations of his "Yassin's Falafel House", still well liked and the food is excellent. I don't think his reputation has been damaged at all "... I think the jury is out on this. My son is a " Falafel House " regular customer n cheerleader. He ain't now, since this incident... Yassin may survive this, but there ain't a business nor publicity model that I know of where this is anything other than a catastrophe. The point is; he could have simply avoided this by not being present. The truth is that while Yassin is a valued community member; he is a minority, whether anybody likes or approves or not. That position has its own share of unique problems. We can quibble about fairness, equality, and all the high minded, eloquent principles that argue against stereotypes and promote the " brotherhood of man "; but people do, in fact, make judgements and have preferences. Yassin may well survive, but I'ma thinkin that lotsa " good will capital" has been totally been wasted here if this becomes widely known. In sum, there is no way this is good for him in any demographic other than the " Anti Israel IDF Baby killers " one. I'ma guessin that demographic is infinitesimal in these parts, even counting the jhadist, loonies, n misfits from UTK and surrounding edifices of " Higher Learning ", and the occasional Anti Israel native sons and imports... leroy... -

I'll admit to " butchering the facts "... I ain't sure what " Criminal Trespassing" is, but I'm betting ya get arrested for it . The problem for Yaseem, is that the damage is done. He simply could have stayed out of this idiotic mess, but he chose not to. None of this " notierity", no matter the details, has helped him in any way. It is, indeed, a tragedy. leroy. This never helps.. ( lifted from the News 6 article )... "... Officers arrived and took the protesters into custody. Terou was released from the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility in Knox County Thursday morning. ..." -

Pop Pop just described me. For me, it's the " old dog, new trick " axiom. I can see the front sight of my pistola quickly at any range. I find myself hunting for the red dot when I handle one. That said; if it works for you, go for it... leroy...

There are places where this can happen now. The more " quaintly rustic " the territories become; the more dangerous it becomes to be an overbearing jackass with alot to say... leroy. -

On a similar note; we had a recent " Day of Rage " demonstration ( a small one ) here in Knoxville. During the course of the demonstration; a long time ( and beloved ) Arab member of the community ( there is a pretty old n established one here, along with a pretty good Jewish one as well ) who runs a long time mom n pop restaurant here got carried away; opened his pie hole too loudly, and evidently did a bit of resistin when the KPD called em down and told him ya go home. He wuz charged with " resisting arrest " ( I think ) and booked. He was ( past tense ) a respected and even beloved long time restraunteer here. His zeal actions may have destroyed a business it took 40 years to build up. These encounters are, indeed, a tragedy... leroy... -

RE:.." Freedom of expression "... This country is built upon freedom of expression and freedom of association. The hippie generation of the sixties took this " freedom " to the extreme. They and their children are now concentrated on the left; and " freedom of expression" has morphed into " hate speech "... If they don't like it; you can't speak it... They have become the very image of the thing they hated in their youth. Ain't that interesting..? leroy... -

I'm sorry to hear this... The country is being Balkanized and the state of Tennessee is being over run with idiots in lotsa places... They have no notion of manners nor the ability to keep their ignorant mouths shut. SIGH. leroy . -
Poon... Accuracy of both is excellent... leroy.

I would recommend sticking with the glock if ya fixed the trigger and like it. I own both, and the Apex trigger in the 43x is just about like my cr 920. I like em both, but they ain't gonna make an MR 920 trigger. I think the smaller frames make the trigger geometry a bit shorter, making the trigger pull harder...That said, I do like the size and magazines on the cr better... Hope this helps. leroy...

Loktite on castle nuts on AR lowers...

I understand... I had one back off in the long ago.... I guess I'm just a bit apprehensive. It's the " Old Goat Worryin Syndrome"... Ima guessing that if I wuz 30 years younger n a bit stronger, I couldn't worry either. Thanks a bunch. leroy.,,, -
Brothers n sisters... My hands ain't as strong as they used ta be, and my aim with a center punch n hammer ain't real good now. That said; Has anybody used loktite on the castle nut to buffer tube connection to lock down the tube without staking it...? Thanks in advance... leroy ...

for-trade Want to trade CCI No# 11 percussion caps for No# 10 caps
leroy replied to dpkdavis's topic in Gear Classifieds
dp... Have been thru this reworking 36 navies for the son. Ya may want to order some new nipples and fit em to make the #11s work. I'ma thinkin that night be a viable, less aggravating solution. We also used ta crimp the caps a tad if we could; or put a dab of Bore Butter on the edge of the nipples to help hold the caps on. The son used the pistolas to shoot black powder CAS... Hope this helps... leroy . -
for-sale 1961 COLT Detective Special .38Special

Ain't seen one of these in 40 years... What a great little pistola... GLWS .!!! leroy... -
One thing ya might want ta do is to look at the shotgun forums to pinpoint the most reliable makers. Lotsa these shotgun guys put a bunch of rounds thru these guns and have a pretty good handle on the reliable brands. Havin said all that; I'm partial to the " American " makers. It's mostly a nostalgia n history thing for me. Ya can buy pump guns for a reasonable price for the most part, but the semi autos are a bit more pricey, and that's the lure of the Turkish guns. I'ma thinkin ya can find aftermarket handguards for Mossberg n Remington 870s pretty easily... Ya might want ta " home build " ya a trench. I find myself likin the old riots the most. There are several in our safe; all old timers.. Hope this helps ... leroy...

To chime in a bit late; I think the big deal with mags, no matter the flavor, is to make sure they work if they are used in your self defence pistola. Mags are mechanical devices, that means they can be built in a Monday or Friday. Check their function in your pistola with the ammo you intend to use. leroy ...

Omega... RE. Encrypted bank accounts... Very interesting stuff. At this point, I'm able to entertain most anything from criminal incompetence to collusion; to the " Manchurian Candidate " to outside " Hit Man " bought by anybody... Antifa, the DNC, or the Star Trek Klingons... All this smells to high heavens. Thanks for posting this. leroy...

Loading 357 mag jacketed bullets without a cannelure
leroy replied to jeff43's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
If the case is completely sized and flared just enough to get the bullet started, and you use a good crimp die; ya should be ok. The bullet friction to the inside of the case is just as important as the crimp. I always full length size new cases before loading them... Another good check is to try to push the bullet into a dummy case after seating.... If it slides in, it will slide out. Make sure the crimp is heavy. By the way, H110 has got to have a heavy crimp and bullet pull to burn well. I've had a hangfire or two with 296 and 110 on heavy loaded 45 Colt Ruger loads in the old days. I'ma fan of 2400 n a good crimp for the 357... Good luck leroy. -
