I edited it to a jpeg, you should see it now.

Perfectly normal for SA. My Ronin is the same way. SA calls it the safety stop. From the manual

Two sides to the story it seems. They came in response to a demand for workers willing to take entry level jobs and due to taking up available housing the rental prices have spiked raising homelessness even among the lower income residents already there. Possible too many too fast and ill...

yes, it's sad but it is still home. We get back to visit family but only every year or so now.

I grew up in the Springfield area and called it my hometown. Lived in the area for 43 years but due to the job situation getting worse with all the larger industry moving elsewhere I moved to Illinois for a work opportunity. While I still prefer Ohio to Illinois Springfield has steadily gone...

Over the many years I have fooled with firearms I have used everything from 3 in 1 oil to the latest whizbang synthetic. They all worked although in the 3 in 1 days I preferred the Good polarized oil oil from Hoppe's or that came in the cleaning kits of the day. Later I used Breakfree CLP and...

One of my all time favorite planes. Maybe because of this "When the Valkyrie test bed flights ended in 1969, the remaining Valkyrie was flown to its final destination, the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright Patterson Air Force Base." I was sitting in Drafting class at the...

I had HKS for my Speed Six Ruger but after 6trying a Comp II I sold the HKS's. I'm not trying to be fast and I like the push feed a little better.

Liner locks of a basic type go back a lot further than Walker and the 1980's The venerable T-29 electricians knife uses a liner lock to lock the screwdriver / stripper blade open and it goes back to before WWII, The Schrade Uncle Henry 197UH Cats Paw uses a liner lock and I got my first in the...

I feel for you. When they planned my subdivision one street makes a circuit all around the neighborhood. Unfortunately it changes names three times with Wesmere Lakes Dr changing to Willow Lakes Dr. Not only that but the house numbers duplicate but are on the opposite side of the street...

With the white dots I found I was spending too much time and trying too hard to get them all lined up. I am 72 and my eyes do not focus on multiple things as well as in my youth. After blackening my rear sight I just focused on the front sight and it centered naturally. I shot better because...

After shooting it with the three dot I removed the white with a small hand turned drill bit and filled them in with black. I much prefer the all black rear but like the fiber optic front a lot.

They recovered one of the sunken ones from Lake Ontario in 2017 https://www.warhistoryonline.com/aircraft/arvo-arrow-lake-ontario.html

Guns can be art all by themselves without embellishment.

The XP Spring is a firing pin spring. SA uses an XXP firing pin spring to aid in passing drop tests. My preference is for the XP one that comes with a Wolff Recoil spring. My Ronin is a 9mm and SA uses a 9lb recoil spring and I changed mine to an 11 pounder.

I believe that all Springfield 1911's have the titanium pin and xxp spring. I know my Ronin did. I put a Wolff XP spring in it when I changed recoil springs. I have never had a light strike and it goes off every time.

A lot of people forget the F/A-18 Hornet started out as a Northrup project with McDonnell as a partner. It lost out against the F-16 as an Air Force fighter. The Navy went to Mcdonnell Douglas about adapting it to carrier use and the rest is history. The F/A-18 is one of my favorite aircraft.

Exactly what I was going to say. Just make sure you are using a good proven load in it.

The .38 Special still has it's place. A lot of people who get small .357 Mags end up using .38 Spl because they don't care for the recoil from the magnum. I noticed that there were a number of good loads not listed. Like the go-to Speer 135 Grain Short barrel load, the fairly new Federal 130...

Well; An Ed Brown # 825 pin is coming. I was offered a deal on it I couldn't pass up. Since I already had a minimal bid on the Caspian pin I may end up with it too but at a little under $11.00 shipped I don't mind having an extra. Question for those with a lot more experience: Should I go...
