Second one I've ever seen. Got a buddy with a vaquero 38-40/ 10 mm . A rare bird, Indeed ... GLWS.. leroy

In the " old days " we used to shoot hot loads out of the old Gubt model Colt 38 supers using heavy bullets ( .140 grain 357s I think ) intentionally set over the max OAL so the bullets would rest on the barrel lands when chambered. That " hillside engineering " fixed the headspace problem with the old supers. The rounds would bulge the cases on the first firing and blow em out at the point of non support at the bottom of the barrel at the magazine ALA a Glock on the second firing of the brass. The brass blow out looked a lot like this. This one looks pretty bad ta me due to the hammering of the case head. Never saw one this bad. I would look for a barrel obstruction here. Sorry ta hear about your bad experience... Glad it was no worse than it is. leroy...

This is the problem with the Tennessee State Constitution: "... . Article 1 (.I think.), Section 26. Section 26 Text of Section 26: That the citizens of this state have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime. ..". It's a post Civil War Reconstructionist addition... It's clearly unconstitutional. It will not be fixed until it's challenged in court. leroy .

This will never be fixed until it's adjudicated in court. The political class ( .even in Tennessee.) love giving " permissions" to us " Delightful Rustics ". The current language of the Tennessee Constitution, put in place by a bunch of dammed Reconstructionists after the Civil War says; as I remember: " The right to bear arms shall not be infringed, BUT the legislature may regulate the wearing of arms with an eye toward keeping the peace "... " ready ta litigate " leroy, the Anti Reconstructionist.

HEHEHE... It's great ain't it ..? leroy... " The Uncle Remus of Copper Ridge "...

I'm guessin this one is " Red Meat for the Anti Gun Children "... It will never make it thru the House. If it does, it will never make it thru the Federal Courts. It's a clear Second Amendment violation. leroy...

I'm a fan of the SFAR. Too old to need one ta shoot, but a fan none the less. I've handled both the original AR 10 and SFAR as well. The AR10 is too heavy; the SFAR is just right. That's why it's so great. Regarding the "deficient issues and design / manufacturing issues " thing: All media; albeit YouTube, written "reviews", or other " evaluations " are, for the most part, " biased windbaggery "; either bashing to get attention or cheerleading. Some " reviewers " are trustworthy, some are working to garner attention. Ruger has world class engineering and manufacturing operations. " Reviewers " have " opinions " and a very small sample size to evaluate. Anyone with a phone or video camera can post on YouTube, just as anyone that can type can post a review. As a matter of course, I throw out the " outliers ". That said, I do understand that there are " lemons " made on Monday n Friday. I've been handling and buying Ruger products for over 50 years. I've yet to find a " lemon". I understand they are out there; but I'm like the great big round crow in the that great Disney Cartoon Classic, " Dumbo "; who famously quipped : "... I never seen, I only heard ...". zip I e de doo dah leroy...

Henry ... I don't think ya need permission. The posting signs and maps themselves should give the " permission ". Look for them. leroy...

We have a good friend who has studied the " mass shooting medication " thing quite a bit over the years. There is one common thread. Early use of Ridlin. Neither medical profession nor the school folks will touch this issue. Be careful what ya allow the doctors n school system to prescribe for your kids and grandkids. These kids are yours. leroy...

I ain't a fan of the de-cocker. Too old I guess, I like the safety setup on the 1911 n CZ pistolas. Simple manual of arms. leroy .

The " ABC " thing is the transition from the " N " frame first serial designator beginning with " N " to the alpha numeric S/N designation... leroy...

This is a pretty rare bird... If I remember right, the transition from " N " to "ABC " happened with this model. We have his brother in the safe with the "ABC " type S/N designation... GLWS .. admirin leroy...

Yeaah ..! I wuz thinkin the same thing... The rifle is beautiful.. Looks like an old time safari grade Remington... GLWS... admirin leroy ...

Yup.... Most all of the older shotguns came with factory Cutts... leroy...

All ya old guys with no butt n big belly: Wear hi back overalls and ya can carry most anything in your strong side hip pocket. No body will notice if ya are not in the " Uptown Financial District". I can easily carry a gubt model 45ACP in em. The normal Glock stuff just disappears... Advice from a gimped up old codger with a big belly and butt. A size 52 fits me about right. Gonna wear my hickory striped hi backs tomorrow. rustic leroy...

Wish ya wuz closer...SIGH... leroy..

Thanks to all who have given advice. I'm kinda likin the P07 and the PCR ideas. I honestly didn't know about the PCR. Thanks a bunch. leroy...

I've carried one of these a bit. Mine is a small canoe. It sharpens well and is a pretty well made little knife... leroy...

Dear folks... A new mania has beset me. I keep being pulled toward a CZ 75 clone for carry; but I'ma thinkin they are just too heavy. That said; do any of y'all have any thoughts and/or experience with the polymer framed version that IWI builds..? Here's his real name from the Buds site: IWI US, Inc. US Jericho 941 Enhanced Let me know what y'all think. Many thanks, leroy...

Here's what is coming to Gaza ... It needs no comment or explanation... https://www.timesofisrael.com/?post_type=liveblog_entry&p=3118605 leroy

There has been a lot of manure spread here with some nuggets of wisdom interspersed here and there. That said; here are some things to think about: 1... Iran is the " Head of this Snake ", and has been for the last fifty years or so. We, the good ole USA, and the Western Allies made Iran. We treated the father of this trouble, the Ayatollah Komeni, like a rock star, and allowed him to drag Iran back into the tenth century... So much for American and Western thought. Thank the dumbo Jimmy Carter for that. 2... Until Iran is neutered, there will be no peace in Israel or anywhere else in the Middle East. 3... Remember, the Mullahs see Israel as " The Little Satan ", and the good ole USA as " The Great Satan "... Six Billion garbanzos and toadying up to these insane barbarians has not changed anything with them. 4... This latest attack on Israel was orchestrated and approved by Iran... They have said so. 5... No amount of pleading or cajoling the Israelis will work now. They are simply too mad for any moderation. I think that anyone implicated in this will pay a heavy price. That includes Iran. 6... I do not think that a nuclear strike against Iran is out of the question. 7... I do believe that the " Palestinian States " of Gaza and The West Bank will cease to exist; along with anyone else who meddles in this. I believe that God alone, is the only Being who can stay their hand now. 8... Brother Greg is right; we are not the world's policemen. We better sit this one out and give the Israelis what they ask for, if we can. isolationist leroy...

I see this a bit more simply. This is another useless, futile war by a non favored Arab group tilting at a windmill. They were emboldened by the mullahs in Iran and were bought with American dollars. They will ultimately pay the price the American plains Indian did for this trouble. The real " Head of the Snake " is Iran. The sooner Iran is finished, the sooner this will calm down. I think think the mullahs are taking a big chance. Israel's nukes work. Iran just talks about working on em. That should be very sobering to Iran . leroy.

Given the current administration, there is no need for Israel to curry favor or show any restraint with the Palestinian thing. It's very possible ( I think ) that we may see the end of an autonomous West Bank and Gaza because of this suicidal move. " Palestinian Widows " may be earily similar to the " Chechenian Widows " that the Russians made several years ago. Israel may go for " The Head of the Snake " in Iran as well... leroy ...
