  1. Just wait until the owner has an emergency and someone little child dies because the vehicle owner can't move the car. A good lawyer will contest the car was legally parked 'with circumstances', and etc, etc, etc......... City will lose a law suit for a few mill.................. The car behind it doesn't seem to be in violation. ..........Widder
  2. I purposely jumped #349. It happens sometimes due to either request or a JEDI requesting a particular number within reason. ..........Widder
  3. If the rifle feeds fine with the EXTRACTOR out, that should be the starting point of fixing your problem. As we discussed on the phone, you might need to lighten up the spring tension on that Extractor. If that spring still has a slight 'bend' in it, straighten it out. BUT, it might be a good idea to let us know if that Extractor is a 1-piece or 2-piece. You will know if its a factory 2 piece if the spring is 'Pinched' into the lower section of the Extractor body. Call me again if ya want. ..........Widder
  4. Seems we have good GFer's from coast to coast. Each of these 4 new JEDI's have lengthy resumes in their service and dedication to SASS and the GF category. Congrats to these new JEDI GFer's. Keep up the good work, Pards. JEDI GF #346: Molassas Moose. California JEDI GF #347: Little Gunder. N. Dakota JEDI GF #348: Kalamity Kevin: Minnesota EDITED TO ADD: JEDI GF #350: Montana Redeye.

  5. I'll probably get one and see what I can do with it. When the video showed it apart, the bolt and carrier seemed to be like the Henry. Sooooooo, lets see what we can do to it. ..........Widder
  6. Yet another TW story: This past weekend, I was visiting TW and helping him inventory his gun collection. I noticed inside one of his safes was a small bundle of money.... looked like $50's $100's. AND, he also had 3 eggs sitting amongst his pistols. I said..... "Jesse, looks like you got a few thousand bucks sitting here and 3 eggs. What are you doing with 3 eggs in your safe"? NOTE: Jesse is what TW's friends calll him, both of them. Anyhow, TW says,,,,,, "since I got out of the military, every time I told a lie I would save an egg and put it in my safe". I replied...... "Gosh, 3 lies in 26 years ain't bad. TW replied........ "Well, not actually. Ya see, every time I get a dozen eggs, I sell them. Thats where all that money came from". Ya know, a feller just can't make this stuff up. ..........Widder
  7. Yes. Kadisha is the other. I don't get to see her often since she joined the Merchant Marines. Krazy Kajun knows as much about her as anyone. I think he and her write each other. ..........Widder
  8. Oh...... so you're the one. She sometimes mentions something about 'Little Man Popcorn' and nobody knew what she meant. Now we know. EDIT: 'LMP' will become your new nickname for 'Little Man Popcorn'. hehehehehehehe! You may have lost cousin Martha, but remember you always got Ashia. She is an admirer of yours. ..........Widder
  9. No problem, TW. But I don't understand why you want those hemi's in a jar unless you plan to substitute them for a chickens foot for Capt BB. Cousin Martha joined the Convent. She said to tell you 'HI'. She ask if you still run out of gas every time you drive down a country road at night..... ..........Widder
  10. Sorri, I don't have any RPP extractors. My mod was at the 'hook' area. I slightly beveled it inward on the bottom portion to help in the 'Angle/Slant' feeding of the modified carrier (Widdermatic). But to keep this in perspective, I only saw a FEW Marlins that were using the RPP Extractor and even fewer owners that requested me to put one in their rifles. Basically, a slightly smoothed up factory extractor worked better in Widdermatics than the RPP extractor. I quit working on Marlins nearly 4 years ago and I probably hadn't seen any RPP Extractors in 6-7 years. ..........Widder
  11. TN State application information: Its rumored (and I don't know where this rumor started) that the original application for the TN State had a "Please don't put me on a Posse with.........." space but when TW found out about it, he had them remove it because he didn't want to be the only one on his Posse. He hates picking up his own brass. I wish folks wouldn't start these kind of rumors. Everybody knows that TW has good friends....... and BOTH of them would be on his Posse! ..........Widder
  12. A little RPP history (to the best of my memory) When RPP created their Extractor, they ask both me and Lumpy to test their Extractor and give them our opinions. Unknown to each of us at the time, BOTH of us came to the same conclusion about the spring situation and RPP was delighted to accommodate with the better (stronger) spring setup. IF AFTER THAT, RPP could have made another change to their spring by making it a tad longer OR a tad stronger without our knowledge. They could have done this based on their own testing and/or other comments from owners. Springs will weaken, especially small springs. And manufacturers can also temper springs that make em softer or stronger. I welcome Lumpy's comment on this to make sure I remember the beginning history of the RPP Extractor. Although I was not part of its design, RPP contacted me early on about its creation due to my comments about the factory Marlin EXTRACTOR in the 1894 that I posted on the 'Marlin Owners' forum. The owners of RPP read my comments and suggestion and created that Extractor. I was glad to see it, help test it, and happy it helped a lot of 1894 owners. On a side note: I found it VERY GOOD in unmodified Marlin 1894's, but when I tried to use it in a Widdermatic, I also had to modify the front portion of the Extractor. Ain't history interesting? ..........Widder
  13. I know what it is.......... Folks opinion on everything based solely on NO Facts! ..........Widder
  14. YUL, Thanks for posting this well deserved recognition to the Family of Chicken George. And yes, they are planning to be at the TN State this summer and I have requested to be on a Posse with them. I'm excited and looking forward to hanging out with them for a few days. Obviously, the side match speed SG event will be a spectators delight watching Gut C. and Skrap P run them 97's wild. Wishing them all the best. ..........Widder
