Care and healing to you sir!! Hope to see you soon!!

There is much to be said for gunsmiths with history and credentials. I know of several who are top shelf, some of which are not as well known outside of their local range, but still top flight!!
Talk to folks you know and trust who have had similar work done!

The Uberti 1860 Henry has the same internals as the '66 and '73!! They respond well to any similar action work. Mine is very slick and has a 3rd gen short stroke.

I'd argue that Eric Roberts is also hardly a "B" actor!! Neither is Donnie Wahlburg!!

Alabama lost because they played too conservatively when they were in the lead!! Whenever they were in front, they seldom passed and ran side to side. They abandoned the middle of the field and played "not to lose"!! When they fell behind, they threw aggressively and ran up the middle, scoring quickly!! Too many "three and outs" on offense allowed the defense to become fatigued.
Clemson won because they stayed aggressive on offense. They took chances!! When 'Bama went into it's shell, Clemson just continued to pound on 'em. They stuck to what was working. 'Bama didn't!!
Congrats to Clemson!! We'll see you next year!
A last second score to win the game!! Whale of a game!!!

Well!! Alabama played "not to loose" in the second half and basically gave the game away!!
Congrats to Clemson!

Wow, that price list is from 2008. I wonder if they are even still in business? I haven't seen a new one on a dealer's shelf in a long time.
I spoke to them late last week. Yes!! Open for business

That man'll do!!

i want to know how come the Falcons have a better record than the Packers and our quarterback does not do State Farm commercials and theirs does.
It may be because the Foulcans haven't made the playoffs consistently in years and Ryan has never won a Super Bowl!!

Widder, Taz will be at the Tennessee State Match again this year.

Hey!! Randy! What about the guy we used for awards a couple of years ago?? Is he still doing it??

When a newer cowgirl was asking questions several years ago, she got around to asking about reloading. She told us that her husband, another newer shooter and an experienced reloader, had her cleaning primer pockets as well as several other accuracy promoting operations on their CAS ammo. My buddy, Will Reilly, told her that most all of that was totally unnecessary.
"I'll kill 'im!!"she fumed, "I'll freakin' KILL HIM!!"

Get this one from Numrich Gun Parts. It is a Chinese reproduction but it works perfectly and is well made. I installed two already on separate 97s because the threads on the tubes were worn and rolled over. The only fitting it will need is to slightly drill the hole for push lock pin to 1/4 inch. That's it! P.S they come blued.
That's the one I bought. Make sure to check the fit in the receiver for proper depth before trying to assemble it onto the barrel extension. Mine had to be turned in a lathe 3/32" to fit the receiver properly. If it won't thread in properly the mag tube is one thread too shallow and the shell follower won't reach proper depth causing the last round to hang up on the mag tube opening. And that's if you can get the front half to mount up at all.
It has to do with stacking tolerances. Only happens in one in a thousand or so. If I had done this first, it would have saved me two hours of fiddling with the new tube! With the number of '97s I've acquired now, it's knowledge I'll not forget.

So the Packers take the first half of the season off, win out the second half and capture the division, beat the Giants, who are supposed to have a stifling defense, convincingly, and move on to face the league leading team that was beaten twice by the Giants.
Could there be a pattern developing here??

On the American Derringer, you put the safety on when loading. This prevents the hammer from touching either firing pin.
I think if you contact the folks at AD, they will maybe ship to your dealer.

Peace and comfort to the friends and especially the family in this time of sadness.

If you are looking for a QUALITY derringer that looks and feels like the classic Remington, the American Derringer is your huckleberry!
I have one of their M1 derringers in stainless. Mine is a .45 cal and will also shoot .410 shot shells as well. I've run two shot times as low as .67 seconds with both shots being hits on a target at 5 yds.! It goes bang every time and mine will even slip hammer when called on to do so.
I spoke with the folks at AD and they are still in business and offer a quality product in several calibers and MANY different levels of appearance!!

It really is an intense production. I think that without the depth in the story, it would be just another shoot 'em up. The stories give the battles and killings context that seems to even intensify the mayhem.
You can always gift it to someone!!
As a comical aside, my gunsmith's alias is Willy McCoy and my son's is Hatfield.

The threads in the receiver are solid steel while the threads on the tube are stamped steel. It is not that the threads wear in the classic fashion. What happens is the threads on the tube are slowly shrunk from the repeated closing of the action which in effect, hammers the stamped sheet metal threads on the tube down.
When we fitted the new tube in Schoolmarm's shotgun, there was no evidence of wear in the threads in the receiver.
On some of my old solid frame '97s, the threads on the tube wore to the point that the tube would pull out. The tube on a solid frame model is ACTUALLY threaded. One of them was repairable with the replacement of the tube. The other one had damaged the threads in the receiver. Even a new tube wouldn't solve the problem on this gun. We finally decided that since my son, Hatfield, never loaded one in the tube, we could simply drill through the tube, follower, and the opposite side of the receiver and install a spiroll pin all of the way through the tube and receiver. The gun has performed flawlessly since doing this.
I won't say that this is the perfect solution, but it beats the crap out of discarding an otherwise perfectly working gun that has several dollars worth of work and time already invested in it!!

If you have to purchase a new magazine tube, be aware that some of them need a little gunsmithing to make them work.
I recently replaced the tube on Schoolmarm's 1906 takedown '97. The interrupted threads are sweated into the tube, and in my case, they were installed a little too deeply. The barrel section would not lock in correctly until the tube was carefully trimmed back where the thread portion was attached. The threads on the tube align the entire action and if not spaced properly, will prevent the shell follower from reaching full depth. This will cause a feed problem with the last shell in the tube!!
Thanks to Willy McCoy, Schoolmarm's favorite gun is now back in service!!

I too am curious!! A reporter, (Hannity) said that hundreds of rounds were fired. I tuned in late and assumed the perp had a rifle!! When I learned that the shooter was armed with a pistol, I wondered if the "three magazines" were large or extended magazines. I have heard nothing that clears this up.
I refuse to fly anymore because I'm not allowed to protect myself, a responsibility I feel is mine alone!! It has been five years since I was on a plane and after that flight home, I made the decision to travel by other means from then on.

We appreciate the news!!
Another round of prayers outgoing!!!

While watching the never ending hand wringing on network news today, I came to the realization that the main reason I hate flying is that I hate being unable to defend myself!!

I had an overpowering urge this morning!! Glad I woke up in time!!!

NAH!! It was my bad luck and lack of experience!! Experience is what you get when you do something umpteen times and then the next time you do it, it doesn't work!!
