Decorative engraving a Glock frame
TNWNGR replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
I like to view good gun engraving but have never had the disire to spend the money it takes to have it done. So with that said I like the craftmanship exhibited in the OP photo. I also believe that engraving would do a lot for how the grip frame feels in your hand. Whoever the frames engraver was didn't use a wood burning iron on it. This was done with actual engraving tools. -
OK I watched it this morning on Netflix, Googled it as it ran because it seemed more like a TV show then movie. Bingo, direct to video play. Still, it was funny in the right places, had guns, explosions and man eating monsters. Overall, not bad.

That's a fine rifle and an even better story behind the rifle finding its way home with you.

'Yeah. Noticed it was on Netflix but haven't watched it yet, I'll add it to the to watch list. Otherwise my Roku box and Netflix account are providng a lot of TV and movie opputunties.

Dairy Queen Tastes Bitter
TNWNGR replied to itchytriggerfinger's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
Action shooting sports carry inherent risk factors in and of themselves so I'd table all of the angst and move on with life. Why? No one was injured or killed. No property was damaged or destroyed. You correctly identified your own culpability brought upon by either haste or momentary inattention. Object lesson? Slow down a bit and replace competivness with a deisre to just do things correctly. Otherwise move on with life and accept that this was a DQ such as yours is a bit different from a ND. -
New holster and I need to brag on a friend
TNWNGR replied to Spots's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Nice looking rig and probably the most comfortable style of shoulder holster ever designed given its intended purpose. -
I like the way you think! Good Man.

Well I hope you find the right vehicle with the right financing package. Does your workplace offer a credit union, if so they can sometimes be very helpful. Otherwise as you already know the desired good credit is restorable with just a bit of time and patience.

I used a Buck Stove actual fireplace insert converted to a freestanding stove in my last house for most of my primary heat. The house had a propane furnace and supplemental heat when necessary (i.e. not using the wood stove) were a propane fireplace for the ground floor (cape cod house) and a propane blue flame wall mounted heater in the basement. The wood pellet heaters aren't the dirt and dust produces a regular interior woodstove is but they also require yearly cleanings. They are also very expensive to purchase. I suggest you consider one or two wall mounted blue flame (convection) propane heaters and a Duraflame infrared electric portable heater. You'll probably need a larger propane tank but I suspect your in the same circumstances as was and the tank is leased rather then purchased.

Well my first and only Jeep was a Willy's CJ2A which was completly stock and about as worn out as it could be. I loved it and if I had been in a position to do so would have rebuilt it and still have it. In the two Jeep's you've indicated both have small lifts, which while not as concerning as larger lifts is still a concern. Checking lubricants for water and metal fragments is one of my things on a high mileage vehicle. I'm certain you'll be replacing all of the seals and fluids as a routine preventative maintenance thing and are already budgeting for that. Overall I generally prefer a used Ford Explore to the Jeep's your looking at since most of my use of 4x4 capabilities has been during inclement weather.

Parole officers asked to leave Friday's restaurant in Franklin, Tn.
TNWNGR replied to StumpyBeagle's topic in General Chat
Well it might be nice to consider the manager receiving a good chewing out but the reality was more like a written counseling statement they had to sign. Then once signed said counseling statement went to cooperate HR for a little CYA and later means to terminate the managers employment for their next fumble. -
Parole officers asked to leave Friday's restaurant in Franklin, Tn.
TNWNGR replied to StumpyBeagle's topic in General Chat
Manager has been coached has he? And I'm with Dave on the parole officers wearing a uniform, I'm not saying it isn't possible, just I've never seen it. I'm wondering if its Institutional Probation Parole Officers who work for TDOC and the BOP? I never dealt with any of them, only local parole officers who did not wear a uniform. -
Prototype for Hatchet Sheath - Suggestions?
TNWNGR replied to East_TN_Patriot's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
That designs in line with others I've seen pictured circa 1940's and later so its a proven commodity, The only thing I'd do from a safety standpoint is stitch a n extra layer of leather, kevlar or plastic into the face of the sheath. -
http://dragonleather.net/ http://www.biancheriusa.com/Welcome.html Are both here in Tennessee. I've seen some of Dennis's holsters which were nice. I can't say anything about customer service with either of these though as most of my holsters were Milt Sparks or Kramer before I started buying finish yourself leather holster kits and playing around with kydex.

I agree with your very concise critical assessment of the LC9, mine was a disappointment and I didn't trust it. Surprisingly the SR22 I purchased in the same timeframe for training purposes continues to please me, even though it and the LC9 share many features. This is certainly due to the fact that I consider the SR22 as a recreational training firearm though and not a serious SDW. Ruger has a history of stumbling and then recovering with a splash and the LC9s is a perfect example of this, I just don't have a desire to purchase one.

Amazing new holster design
TNWNGR replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I'm going to mirrow the expressed thoughts of others regarding the probable actual comfort and concealment level of this holster in anything other then AIWBH carry. It's suppleness pretty much indicates you'll have to really think about carrying a striker fired pistol w/o an external safety. Aside from those concerns I think its innovative and an excellent ideal. It' also given me an Ideal I'm going to be trying on a holster. -
Somehow I'm thinking the LC380 hasn't been a trendsetter and the LC9 is probably not going to stay in the product line much longer. Given the LC9s is working out so well this shouldn't be a surprise if it happens.

Yeah, the 4th gen G-19 does feel better in my hand then the 3rd gen and I'm sure most of that's due to the interchangeable back straps. FTMP I'm not a fan of finger groves on any polymer pistol, particularly the Glock, but it all works out just fine in the 4th gen G-19.
-
That's more the Glock trigger but the grip size is also coming into play. IOW its not the gun its the shooter, you really have to literally learn how to shoot a Glock. If you step away from the Glock platform for a while you have to relearn it again. So, spend some quality time at the range, as should we all, and see how quickly your groups center themselves.

Getting broken cleaning rod tip out of black powder barrel
TNWNGR replied to Sam1's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Greg that's easier then removing the broken ramrod. As my favorite firearms trainer Louis Awerbuck chided me "Come on, its not rocket science". Air gun followed up with solvent, warm the barrel up enough to liquefy the grease and follow it up with solvent. Heck you could even soak the barrel in solvent and it would soften enough to easily patch it out. Sam, before you take it to a smith take it out side and fire a couple of caps with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Then pull the nipple and do what the others have said an put a few grains of black powder into the nipple hole. Replace the nipple, cap it and shoot. It'll probably take a couple of try's but it will work. You are not going to hurt the barrel doing this as long as you use some good common sense. I -
Hmmm? Is there a doctor in the house???? *Groan* ;>)

Couldn't agree more.

Nah. Its the legal theory of going where the money is. The manager who caused the fatal crash is dead, they can't go after the municipally or another driver so that leaves Porsche. If it was a factory supplied demonstrator or promotional vehicle owned by Porsche then the family will receive a chunk of change. If they can prove a manufacturing defect they'll get some coinage. But most likely they believe Porsche won't want to spend the necessary legal defense fees or risk the bad publicity and will instead agree to a settlement. Its all about who you are or who you were.

TNWNGR replied to Sam1's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Correct. The ramrod tip and such will come out true if a Co2 cartridge or powder charge is used. Should you still wish to use the Zerk fitting check out the Grainger Catalog or go to a true nuts and bolts store and have them check on one for you. I'd sooner pay for the Zerk fitting and a tube of grease then for one of the Co2 bullet discharger kits.
