I've never heard the song.
BUT, there are some versus in the Bible about Goliath that references a his brother and then also refers to that same person
as his son. Historically, the Philistines were known for incest, as were many back in those days.

With my new Meta Ray Ban glasses I plan to record all kinds of incriminating video of Widder and TW at Tennessee State.
I'm incriminating for sure......... Plus, sometimes I make meowndangself look bad.
P.S. - took me a couple seconds, but I thought that was Tom Selleck wearing some Foster Grants.

The oddity of some videos that show a penalty is that sometimes we read/hear that the WRONG penalty was actually
called, i.e..... a Minor Safety is called a 'P' and vice-versa.
And if some of you notice WHO may have called the wrong penalty, they have Black Pin certification. Yes, it happens.
I ain't speaking for PWB (I wouldn't dare), but I bet he's wanted to pull out a few whiskers over those wrong calls.
One of the reasons TW tries to stay updated and ensure his Black Pin is used and honored correctly is because
he's always having to correct me.....

Good trade, RYE.
The CZ 75's are great pistols. I have the CZ 75 P-01 and the Shadow II Compact. Great guns and great shooters.

GENTLEMEN...... here's a trade secret.
and believe me, I've done this a few times in my younger years when my thumbs were a little quicker.
First, ya gotta wait till about sundown when all the wasp are on the nest. Or atleast you think all are on the nest.
Second, don't go after BIG nest with dozens and dozens of wasp. Only attack those nest around 2" in diameter or so.
Usually, only about a dozen wasp are present.
Thirdly, try to use short barrel pistols. And try to use the .45 Colt 'BLANK' cases that will let you use shotgun primers.
These give a better flash.
When possible, stand on the ground and avoid being high on a step ladder.
And never be afraid of those wasp or getting stung. Personally, I think they can sense 'fear' and will fly towards those with it.
This technique won't kill them but it will singe their wings and keep them from flying at ya.
Then, you can knock the nest down.
AND, most importantly............ you will get faster with those pistols.

Recently I started making my own wax bullets to be able to practice and become a little faster
If you want to become faster, just load some 'primer only' shells in your pistols
and attack a wasp nest with em. Of course, ya need to be close..... REAL CLOSE, and manipulate the hammer/trigger fast
to 'burn their butts'. But, the practice will help you get faster.

This is sad indeed.
Although we had never met, I always enjoyed reading his post on this Wire. He was a great Wire Pard.
No doubt, he will be missed.
Condolences to his family and his close friends.

Snow don't suck....... Snow Blows!
Anyhow, the Widder clan jumps on the ATV and rides. I got normal lights plus 2 powerful light bars to light up the night for riding.
The 5-6 inches we got was wonderful for fun riding on Friday.
A family that rides together, stays together.....

Whisky,
I got a couple of springs I can send you.
Actually, I can send you 2 of those springs PLUS a longer, aftermarket spring that you can cut and size to your preference if you prefer.
Send me a PM with your address and I will mail on Monday.
EDIT: Lumpy's gunsmith rule #1: keep your screws tightened.
Widder's gunsmith rule #2: Keep a good magnet/magnet bowl on your gun bench.

I agree with LG. Just run the socket head set screw in until it holds the plug in.
YES, this will work perfect if all you want to do is hold the safety in place.
But is you want the safety to manipulate ON/OFF, the spring and ball is needed.

Whisky,
any small spring that will fit into that hole will work....... and I probably have some because those size springs are similar
to the ejector and extractor springs on the Henry .22 rifles.
As mentioned above, you still must have the detent ball and set screw. Do you have those?
If I have those size springs, I'll be glad to mail you a couple........ free.
I gotta get down to my basement this afternoon and check. I'll get back with you.
Dont forget to let us know if you still have the little ball and set screw.

I'll send you a PM with my phone number......or if you prefer, I will be glad to call you.

Batten the hatches and tie down everything that ain't welded to the bulkhead.
Bring on the snow. The ATV is gassed up, and knobby tires will take me anywhere.

Not to side track the topic, but do you feel the Mag Na Port 1) reduces recoil and to what extent 2) reduces muzzle flip and to what extent 3) the results justified the cost and probably depreciated value, I know this is very subjective.
On a side note concerning muzzle brakes (same as porting).
I own two .460 Rowlands. These are sup'd up 1911's in the .45 ACP realm.
.460 Rowlands use muzzle brakes to enhance their functioning AND..... to help reduce recoil and lesson the 'smack' in your hand
when firing them.
Anyhow, the company strongly suggest NOT to fire these 1911's without the muzzle brake.
I thought I would remove one of mine and see just how much 'recoil' a 'brakeless' .460 Rowland generates.
To put it lightly, I could only fire 3 rounds without the brake. It hurt.
With the brake, I can shoot dozens of hot rounds with no issues of painful recoil or intimidation.
Muzzle brakes and porting works.

I've had a couple firearms Mag-Na-Ported. One was a Marlin 1895 in 45-70. The barrel was cut to 18" and they put 4 ports in it.
Very professional work. It was a long, long time ago and cost didn't seem bad to me back then.
The other is one of my Ruger SBH 'Hunter' models in .45 Colt. The barrel is cut to 5.5" and ported by Mag-Na-Port.
I dont remember the cost but I can perceive some reduction in recoil 'flip', but more so I can detect less 'smack' in my
hand from that recoil. How much reduction, I've never tried to monitor it.
My Hunters shoot those 'hot' loads listed in this thread and it seems the hotter the ammo, the greater the effect of the ported systems.

Dan,
I've thought about getting me a .480 Ruger SBH, but haven't committed yet.
Because I got so much stuff for .45 calibers, I'm leaning towards a .454 Ruger SBH Bisley.
I've also thought about a short barreled S&W 500 mag. Expensive.
TN Williams has one and I've thought about a 'midnite requisition' on it...... if you know what I mean.....
P.S. Dont tell him. He'll never miss it!
Decisions, decisions!

This is great as I too am looking to hot load a Dan Wesson 10" for imsha. Have you tried any of the Starline 45 LC brass?
For my hot loads....... NO, I haven't loaded up nor tested any 'hot' stuff using .45 Colt brass.
All the load data I have tested used Starline .454 Casull brass with small primer pocket.
The reason I specify 'small primer pocket' is because I've read that some original Casull brass had large primer pockets.
