Just be sure to tape up the jaws so that there is no chance of scratching the spring. If you scratch the spring it will crack and fail.

A complete set is available from Taylor's Firearms Here is a good thread about the screws Yes

Mine is a combination of a necessary lifestyle change due to diabetes and the drugs I'm on to control my blood sugar.

Uberti rifles are way over sprung. Changing out the springs will help it last a lot longer. The cleaning will remove any blueing salts that will basically corrode the screws and mag cap in place. One other thing you may want to do is pick up a set of hardened screws from VTI. Uberti screws are know for being on the soft side.

You sure @Jenorado didn't let you win so you wouldn't be down in the dumps by her beating you twice in a row? 🤠

Even if your don't short stroked it. Invest in a set of Slix Springs. Be sure to remove the magazine cap and clean the mag tube. I use a bore mop on a modified cleaning rod and wax the inside of the mag tube with a quality car wax. Be sure to apply a bit of anti seize to the threads of the mag cap before reinstalling.

We may not have sleds but we do know how to have fun. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT9In2YDzew/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

We have about 2" of sleet here where I live in N TX From sunset Friday through Saturday night. The streets are slicker than greased ice and most likely will not be clear till Wednesday or Thursday. 40 miles further north they got about 8" of sleet and snow. As bad as this is it could have been a lot worse, It could have been freezing rain instead of sleet. Add in that our daytime high is 100 degrees F lower than yours. Unlike our pards up north, my part of Texas only sees this every 4 or 5 years. So almost everything is at a standstill.

For longer ranges I find a longer barrel to be easier to keep on target. The heavier weight seems to help. Downside is they are not fun to carry long distances.

Took you long enough. 😝

As a general rule of thumb SWC profiles don't feed well in toggle link rifles. As for a 44-40 mould that will work with BP, this is what I currently load. Accurate Molds 43-205C. Diameter can be customized free of charge. I recommend you don't buy the mould until you have the rifle in hand and then slug the barrel. As for dies there is nothing wrong with a Lee 4 die set. I would add the Lee Factory Crimp die. If you decide to stick with 45 Colt then I would get the Accurate 45-260F.

I'm the odd man out it seams as I really like my S&W Shields. I have an M&P 1.0 in 45, and two Shied 2.0 45's. The 1.0 is a double stack. The 2.0s are single stack. One has the 3.375 barrel and the other is the Performance Center version with the 4" barrel. Love all 3 but my favorite is the Performance Center version. Nice high vis sights, not too heavy, and at less than 1" wide is easy to conceal. Bought the 1.0 used from a friend with a bunch of extra mags and other accessories. The other 2 I bought new. Both have worked flawlessly right out of the box and feed Ball, JHP or powder coated cast lead equally well. No issues with using my Wild Bunch (165 pf) loads for practice at the range.

Back then you had to qualify for VA benefits and the climb was usually up hill. Now thanks to the PACT Act obtaining VA care has been made 10000% easier. Check out this link to see if you are now automatically VA eligible. If you are, you no longer have to prove a service connected disability to obtain care. There is also a long list of ailments that are now assumed service connected instead of you having to prove that they are.

Use one Boy Scout and one Girl Scout and things will get heated right quick. 😇

These are similar to the ones I use. Can be purchased from Lowes or Home Depot.

Don't count on it. There are multiple stories just like the one below except they still haven't been compensated. McKinney TX: Fugitive barricades themselves in a home. Swat team does $50K in damages extracting said fugitive. Owner files an insurance claim. Insurance Co denies claim because it's a "Police Action". Files claim with the city. City refuses to pay, claims "Qualified Immunity". Woman sues in Federal Court. Wins in court. Loses on appeal. SCOTUS denies to hear the case. US District Judge rules she is entitled to restitution under the Takings Clause in the TX Constitution. All the above only took 5 years. https://ij.org/press-release/victory-judge-rules-that-woman-is-entitled-to-damages-under-texas-constitution-after-swat-team-destroyed-her-home-while-pursuing-fugitive/

My Great Aunt would pressure cook Carp and then can it in mason jars. We had Carp croquettes instead of salmon croquettes.

Everyone pays property taxes. If you are a homeowner, you see it directly. If you rent, property taxes are baked into the rental amount. Same with all the maintenance. When you own it, you see it directly. For renters it's included in the rent. My former manager has a lot of rental houses. One year there was a big bond measure up for vote. When he sent out the rental increase notices there were two different possible increases. One if the bond passed and a low amount of it didn't. He got a lot of calls about why the increase would be greater if the bond passed. Most had a hard time comprehending that "THEY" would be paying for the increase because they didn't realize that they were paying property taxes abet indirectly.
