Sounds like it me too. You mentioned cleaning the carb but if that didn't include cleaning out the jet passages then try that. They are very small though. I've had good success using a small piece of copper wire out of electrical wire.

I understand that you are free to do as you wish but please think twice before having it chromed. IMHO that would be the worst option. As an example check out graycrait's recent post where he took a chromed Star and changed it into a much nicer looking pistol by removing the chrome. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/55416-pimp-gun-warhorse-redux.html

Do you have any pics you can post so we can see the current condition? Are any of the areas pitted? If so, that might favor one refinishing option over another.

That comment reminded me of the current thread "Val Kilmers's best role?"

Read the book and find out...

This is a fair statement of what I experienced. Went to see it last night. This movie is only part I of the novel. Of the scenes shown, it followed the novel pretty close. For someone that hadn't read the book they might have trouble piecing all the plot together and certainly wouldn't understand the characters to the level the novel lays out. When we were walking out of the theater, someone behind my wife said to the person they were with, "I didn't understand all the political part". She told them to read the novel. I didn't enjoy Part I of the novel as much as Part II and III so I'm thinking the movies will be the same. In summary, I'm glad I saw the movie and will watch the next two. If for no other reason to the support the producer (no pun intended) for trying to get the novel's message out to the people that will never take the time to read the novel. And make some money along the way.

Actually, they were. Must have caught them on a good day. I talked to Rightwinger several times on the phone last night while he was at the store to help me out.

I just wanted to give a positive shout out for D&T Arms. Yesterday I purchased an 870 tactical shotgun from them that had the two round extention. I got it home and was loading the magazine and discovered that sometimes the last round wouldn't load in the magazine. I took it apart several times but didn't see anything obviously wrong. Again, sometimes it would fully load the sixth round sometimes not. Took it back to D&T this evening. Dave and the guys looked it over and tracked down the problem. There was a very small area on the inside of the extention tube that was slightly flared. The shells would sometimes hang on that spot. They happened to have access to another extention tube and swapped it out and everything is now working fine. Thanks a bunch to D&T Arms for taking care of Remington's issue! Great customer service!!! This is another example of how it pays to buy local and not the online route.

Yep, a revolver is the best choice when wearing an ankle holster as a BUG, IMO.

What gun are you carrying? That can sometimes make a difference in where on the body it's easiest to carry and what style of holster works best for the gun.

What took so long? Sweet looking piece. Be sure to give a range report.

Combat Handguns

Yep. I even pick up the calibers I don't reload at the moment. It's come in handy for bartering and trading.

GAD, thanks for the feedback that you guys are trying to get things straightened out. Since others have shared what occured on their visit(s), I'm going to add mine. I stopped by towards the end of last year. There were several customers in the store at the time and they were being waited on by the staff. I wasn't looking for anything in particular just seeing what the store had to offer. Made my way around the store and cases. I did end up checking out one pistol and was waited on in a somewhat timely manner, so the customer service was decent. Nothing memorable either way. I have not stopped by since, and I drive right past the store 5 days a week. Not because I was treated poorly on my first visit, but for the prices I saw on the handguns and the lack of selection. As others have said, all we are looking for is competitive prices, good selection, and reasonable service. You do that and you'll get repeat customers. I'm going to take you at your word and stop by again in the near future.

I'm not sure if they still offer it but D&T Arms has $10 TGO transfers. Check to see if it's still valid. I did one back in Dec. Great bunch of guys. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/d-t-arms/48087-transfers.html

Much improved. Every time when I'm surfing around the different sub forums and I see this thread title, in my mind I keep seeing, Pimp gun and whorehouse. lol

I agree on the square bits. Also, depending on the screw length used, you might have to predrill the holes to get the screws to fully set in deep enough. Also using soap on the screw threads cuts down on the torque required to get them in.

Looks good. Do you have any "before" pictures? If so post them up.

Below is the email exchange with the Fire Marshall. My emails are in black text, his are in blue text. Hello, I was trying to find the answer to a question and need your help. What is the storage limit for gasoline storied at a residence? I have a generator for power outages and want to know how much fuel I can have on hand. Please respond for two situations; In an attached garage In a outside area not attached to the dwelling. Thank you, The fire code allows up to 30 gallons of indoor storage in a residence. It states that you can only have enough that's necessary for maintenance purposes and operation of equipment. I would recommend that you store your fuel outside of the home in a storage building. It should always be stored in approved U.L. listed safety cans. Storing this fuel in an attached garage is asking for trouble. Thank you for your prompt response. I did want to clarify a few points so I fully understand correctly. You commented that storing fuel in an attached garage is asking for trouble, which I agree is not the optimum situation. But if I understand correctly you are allowed to keep 30 gallons "indoors", such as an attached garage, correct? At the moment I don't have an outside storage building but will look into getting one. If I got one, is there a limit to how much could then can be kept? Lastly, is the UL safety can a requirement or a suggestion? Thank you, The fire code states you can only keep only enough fuel to perform maintenance and operate your equipment but at no time would you keep more than 30 gallons. If you store gasoline in your attached garage in a can that is not an approved safety can the fumes can escape. Gas is heavier than air so the vapors will collect in low spots. If you have any source of ignition such as a gas water heater, spark from any electrical appliance, or motorized vehicle you could ignite those vapors and they will flash back to the containers. My suggestion would be to do as I did and get you an outside storage locker to store your gas cans in. The one I have is a trunk style made by Rubbermaid.

Valid idea as long as your vehicle(s) don't have the anti-siphon feature. Double check before you get caught with your pants down.

Thanks for the responses guys. I did have an update. I emailed the Fire Marshall and got a response but need some clarification so I'm going to email him again. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

I guess that's one way to find out, but my fear is if I bring up the subject I'm asking to get "red flagged" automatically for the future. It also opens up the floor for questions of what other potentially hazardous materials are at the residence. I don't want to get into the reloading and ammo storage discussion right now.

I've been trying to find the maximum quantity for gasoline that can be stored at a residence and can't seem to find the info. From what I can tell, Nashville goes by the International Fire Codes but can't find any free pdf's to do the search. I've found admendments, etc. but not the actual code. It would be stored in an attached garage. I want to store as much as I'm allowed for my generator. I don't want to run into getting denied on an insurance claim if there was ever a fire at the house so I want to go by the codes. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?
