They picked on the wrong woman

MMA, WWE and the Expendables. I hope she is in Expendables 4. -
Sporting Rifle
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I remember getting one of those in the 60s. I was in ROTC and most if not all the officers that were instructing the ROTC classes had never fired one. I had the gun but no one had any ammo in the local gunshops back then. One weekend at a rifle match our ROTC team was shooting at I managed to trade some .308 National Match ammo for a case of 5.56 from an Air Force team. The next week everyone on the rifle team and the ROTC instructors went out to the local National Guard range and fired a few rounds. Had to sell it when I graduated but the Army gave me a new one. -
Smoke Wagon over-indexing
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Sawed-Off's topic in SASS Wire
That is a classic symptom of a broken hand spring. If it is ten years old is the hand spring a leaf spring? If so it is probably broken or bent. If it is a coil spring make sure it did not get pinched between the frame and backstrap or that the plunger is not lost. Take it apart and let us know what is in there. -

A favor to ask
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Sedalia Dave's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Saying there are rules in an organized shooting match and rules on an Internet discussion website is about like comparing the rules of Chess with a knifefight. The simple solution to this whole matter is that if someones does not like something quit reading the thread. If you are watching TV and you do not like what is on the solution is to change the channel. Trying to limit discussion on an Internet website is an exercise in futility. -
Never heard of it. Will give it a look. A Canadian show I really enjoyed was Corner Gas.

Ted Williams
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Yep, in addition to baseball he made some mighty fine guns. This was my first new gun. Handcrafted by Ted for me in 1961. -

Harry S Truman

Found a couple of photos of where the Potsdam conference took place and a photo of the spot where the historic photo was taken. -
Harry S Truman
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I still remember his TV show titled Decision. In this clip he talks about Potsdam. Last October (rather than going to Bordertown) I went to Potsdam and stood on the site of the famous photo of Churchill, Truman and Stalin. -
Winchester Model 97 Barrel question
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Asa Smith's topic in SASS Wire
Even if by a miracle someone found one of the early Norinco barrels it would not fit. All the Norincos were solid frame. The OP wants to put the barrel on a take down Winchester. -

Before you do anything fire the gun with the loads you intend to shoot. If it switches barrels then you do not need to do anything. If it does not switch reliably the spring you have to change is part 609006. Remove the e-clip, push out the shaft and the pendulum (609004) will come free. Make sure the spring and plunger (609007) do not get lost. Where to get a lighter spring in Sweden I do not know. I have boxes of springs and just change them until I find one that works with my loads. Be careful not to put to light of a spring into the pendulum. If you do and point the barrels above horizontal the pendulum can swing back from its own weight and the gun will not switch or fire correctly.

Alpo you have no breeding. If there were two 1911's in the box you should only take one.

The Disney Bomb

I thought this was going to be a review of the live action version of The Little Mermaid that just came out.
