  1. RG sells a replacement wheel for there carts that is better then the original spoked wheels.
  2. Like I said in my original post, The few reviews I have been able to find were not all that positive. But it was only $10 so I could call it a life lesson if they will not do what I want them to do.
  3. Has anyone had any experience with Flex Focus glasses? From what I have been able to find they have two lenses in each side and a knob to allow you to adjust the focus from near to far. I was wondering if these glasses could sub for a scope? I have a pair on order from Walmart but they won’t be here for about 2 weeks. The few reviews I have been able to find were not all that positive. Would like to hear good or bad about them.
  4. At least they exempted Historical reenacting. But this bill smacks of "Banana Republic". Here is another step towards making us subjects instead of Citizens and establishing a ruling class and a surf class.
  5. It is a bad idea to put your email address or phone number in a WTB add. Bad people surf web forums like ours looking for this. Then they search the web and find a picture of what you are looking for and send it to you like they have it for sale. Once you send the money you never hear from them again. At least with a PM you stand a chance of knowing if they have a presence on the forum and can see how long they have been a member. And if you receive a PM telling you that they have a friend that has just what you are looking for and here is a link to his email address check to see how many posts they have because if the only post they have is the PM they just sent to you, you can bet that they are out to steel your money. Just my two cents.
  6. I have had one for several years and I agree that Taylor's does a great job making these guns race ready. I love mine. Maybe they tried a differant gunsmith for a short time and then went back to the original one that they started with.
  7. This reminds me of a story I heard years ago and it goes like this. A government official enters a farmers land and tell the farmer that he is here to make an inspection. The farmer objects but the official pushes his badge in the farmers face and tells him that this badge means that he can go on his land and inspect it any time he wants. The farmer reluctantly agrees but tells the official that he cannot go in the north 40. The official again pushes his badge in the farmers face and tells him that this badge gives him the authority to go anywhere on his land that he wants. The farmer shrugs his shoulders and says nothing. 30 minutes later the official come running across the field being chased by an angry bull. The official yells to the farmer for help and the farmer loudly replies “Show him your badge”!
  8. The other tell tail sign that it is for black powder only is the length of the flute on the cylinder leading up to the bolt lock notch. The ones for black powder are longer than the ones for smokeless.
  9. I have had one for several years and I agree that Taylor's does a great job making these guns race ready. I love mine.
  10. Just a point of safety info. This gun was made for black powder and cannot be used with smokless. But black powder shooting can be fun.
  11. The gun you have is an Iver Johnson and they were cheaply made guns around the turn of the last century. They were not high-quality guns then and age has not improved them. This gun is for black powder only. You can tell because the flutes in the cylinder for the stop bolt are longer than the ones for smokeless and the owl is facing forward. There only real claim to fame is that it was an Iver Johnson that killed President McKinly in Buffalo NY.
  12. I read THE CONCLUSION about the 2nd Circuit Courts ruling. I was only able to skim the 261 page document but one thing that drew my attention is that the state claimed that historically there were several laws or ordinances that support restricting concealed carry in bars and taverns. But the laws they quoted were not in effect in 1791 but rather times like 1888. If I remember correctly the SCOTUS ruled that any anti 2A laws had to be similar to laws present in 1791 so quoting laws from 1888 were not relevant. Besides most but not all of the laws they listed had to do with intoxicated people with weapons not just being present with a pistol in your pocket. Also, something I did not see in the ruling is where our side pointed out that in 1888 no one needed a license to carry a concealed handgun and there good or evil intensions were not predictable. But today in NY it is necessary to have a license to carry concealed, and anyone that is licensed has been vetted to be sure that they are not likely to misbehave. For this reason, they are comparing apples to oranges. Also, there are already laws on the books that deal with intoxicated people with weapons. I hope our lawyers have thought of this. If they have not considered this line of defense yet I hope that they will, so the next time the state brings up these examples, they will have a good defense or at least a logical rebuttal. If I have not been clear in my attempt to explain this in text you are more than welcome to contact me.
  13. Here is the Conclusion page (261) CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, we AFFIRM the injunctions in part, VACATE in part, and REMAND for proceedings consistent with this opinion. In summary, we uphold the district court’s injunctions with respect to N.Y. Penal L. § 400.00(1)(o)(iv) (social media disclosure); N.Y. Penal L. § 265.01-d (restricted locations) as applied to private property held open to the general public; and N.Y. Penal L. § 265.01-e(2)(c) as applied to Pastor Spencer, the Tabernacle Family Church, its members, or their agents and licensees. We vacate the injunctions in all other respects, having concluded either that the district court lacked jurisdiction because no plaintiff had Article III standing to challenge the laws or that the challenged laws do not violate the Constitution on their face.116 116 We emphasize that we are here reviewing facial challenges to these provisions at a very early stage of this litigation. A preliminary injunction is not a full merits decision, but rather addresses only the “likelihood of success on the merits.” Salinger v. Colting, 607 F.3d 68, 79 (2d Cir. 2010) (emphasis added); see also Amoco Prod. Co. v. Vill. of Gambell, AK, 480 U.S. 531, 546 n.12 (1987) (“The standard for a preliminary injunction is essentially the same as for a permanent injunction with the exception that the plaintiff must show a likelihood of success on the merits rather than actual success.”). Our affirmance or vacatur of the district courts’ injunctions does not determine the ultimate constitutionality of the challenged CCIA provisions, which await further briefing, discovery, and historical analysis, both in these cases as they proceed and perhaps in other cases. And here is the link just in case you are interested in reading the entire 261 pages. I skimmed threw them last night but did not read all of what is there. https://saf.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/176-opinion.pdf
