Springfield Slim SASS #24733

Caliber? And what's a Generatuion?

Calling fowl? So you think maybe some birds carried it off?

Remove the drift pin holding the safety pin? in place. Take out the safety pin, turn it 180 degrees and mark it where the drift pin hole is. Then file a notch in the the safety pin so that when reinstalled the drift pin will hold it in place. Now the firing pin is locked in place. And it is reversible to return it to it's original configuration. Worked for me. Just be judicious in filing the safety pin to make sure it is held up as high as possible.

I'd like those, please.

I'll take it, please. Sent a pm also.

No response yet, must be too busy at EOT.

I always liked to carry a full size gun off duty way back when I was a Deputy. Like you said, it doesn't matter that much if the grip is longer so why not? I felt better with more grip in my hand, a bit more control of the gun.

I am planning on going to CVC this Saturday, and I can bring it with me.

I'll take it, please. Sent pm also.

I have one. Maybe you can talk me out of it. I have a 38-55 Buff Classic I prefer, don't really need both.

How do you know what the percentage is? Did you have it tested by a salvage yard or something?

What is the other 2%?

Thanks folks, I learned two things today. One, The teacher is right, heat CAN affect measurements on a micrometer. Two, it won't matter for the use I and my son will be using it for so he really needs to moderate his teaching a bit, IMHO.

I'm the opposite, usually whatever I'm measuring I hold in my left hand, mostly motorcycle parts of some kind. If the piece in on my lathe I might use two hands to measure. Never worried about body heat.

My son is taking some auto maintenance/engine rebuilding classes at the local City College. He came home yesterday and wanted me to help him do the micrometer reading worksheet. When I picked up my mike and put my pinkie through the middle to hold it, he told me the teacher said that was an unacceptable way to hold it. Said you have to hold it with one hand on the bottom of the U frame on the plastic panels, otherwise body heat will change the reading, and use the other hand to work the spindle. Now, I am not a master machinist, but my father was, and that is how he said to hold a mike. Is this really a thing? Seems to me there is more error to be made by just not being consistent with tightening the spindle, hard to believe body heat will change the reading enough to matter. Just to be informed I looked on the internet, and found a video tutorial by Starrett about the use and maintenance of a micrometer, and the first thing the guy did was to put his pinkie through the U frame to hold it. So, anybody hear about the body heat problem, or is his teacher mis-informed?

All yours, MM, I was just curious.

Does it fold any further than shown?

Just buy this one, it will work better than the LEE ever could. My 44 version sure does. https://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=36-080B

How much were you looking for?

Nobody misses the kid?

I start my engines and then let them idle for at least 2 minutes, then drive a bit more careful for the first mile or so. Cars and especially motorcycles. May have helped get that 285,000 out of my Ford Ranger before I needed a new headgasket, and have 180,000 on my air cooled BMW motorcycle and it still reads good compression and is on the original clutch, in spite of having a sidecar on it for most of that time. It's not just about oil; flow. it's also about parts heating up and closing up some clearances so that the parts fit better and don't wear as fast. I know my '82 MB Diesel doesn't like to shift as well when it is cold, tranny's have oil too.

I get my PITA from the World Market, along with the Hummus.

Where there is a gap you will get flames. Some ammo will do it worse then others. If you think it is too much just take it to a gunsmith who can measure the front cylinder gap and see if it is in spec or not.

I'll take them, please.
