  6. Problem is, the older I become, the more unruly I am!
  7. I only clean my cylinder faces on my Stainless BMV’s periodically but when I do, I use Flitz brass & copper tarnish remover. READ and FOLLOW the instructions and you will be amazed. Spray on wait 10 seconds and wipe off, then rinse profusely in water. Alittlule goes a long ways! i wouldn’t use this on blued guns or get it on my wooden grips but it melts the carbon right off. https://a.co/d/9zNMU1l
  8. Guns, holsters, gun belts and gun modifications must conform to the rules and may, or may not, use period correct materials. There have never been cart material/appearance/construction rules that I'm aware of. There are many items directly involved in a SASS match that are NOT period correct...that blue plastic thing that beeps for one!
  9. Listen to @Beartrap SASS#57175 he will led you in the right direction. You will that SASS folks are one big family and very welcoming and helpful.
  10. I bought a truck 18 months ago through Carvana, was the easiest, smoothest car buying transaction I've ever done, other than handing a guy a big stack of hundreds. Pictures are great, getting to see the Carfax helps a lot, everything done online. Had to be delivered to Tucson from South Dakota or somewhere up there, took four or five days. Truck was spotless inside and out, fluid levels were good. Hardest part of the whole transaction was uploading a picture of my driver's license. (don't ask)
  11. What's the difference between the 929.00 and 1116.00 carts?
  12. "Pull the thread" meaning you should dig deeper into the problem that even the lock release button does not release the action lock. Not "look for some other wire post that covered this problem." Although a search of the SASS wire forum might a way to learn more about possible causes of the problem. Be aware that the search engine that the forum software provides (at the top of the forum page) is not a very easy way to find old posts. Here's a more powerful way to search - use Google. In the address bar of your web page, type something like this for an "address" "sassnet: 97 action slide locked" You will get a whole bunch of results that apply to some of the problems with the action slide lock not unlocking at the right time. It could be really useful to you to scan through some of these posts from about 2012 to the present. You have a condition where neither of the normal ways of getting the action lock to unlock and let the action cycle are working - the forward push on the forearm, and the push on the release button. Here's some pictures of what should be happening. This shows one Chinese 97 that works well. You will have to look carefully with good light to see how your gun compares. First, when the action is open, you should see on the left side of the carrier three (of the six) parts that make up the lock system: the slide lock bar, the leaf spring that causes the bar to normally be tipped out away from the carrier surface, and the screw which holds the spring in place. Push gently on the left end of the lock bar and you should see it move into flush with the side of the carrier block. The action slide bar works like this..... When the action needs to be locked, the action slide lock (bar) pivots out into a slot inside the left side of the receiver. In an emergency unintended lockup, it SHOULD be possible to slip a small flat-bladed screw driver in this slot, catch the edge of the locking bar and pivot the bar to the unlocked position (bar pulled into the carrier.) Be very careful not to cause a round to fire if you do this! When the action should unlock and let you run the action normally (such as after firing), the bar is forced into a position flush with the left side of the carrier. There is a small slot milled in the left side of the carrier which lets you see the position of the bar. This unlocks the action so that the slide can be pumped open. When should action lock be locked - with action closed and hammer cocked or hammer in the half-cock notch. This means the gun will not "blow open" when the round fires. This locking on the half-cock hammer position is a problem unwary shooters have when they lower the hammer during loading, but fail to lower it fully to rest on the firing pin. This locks the gun when shooter first attempts to fire the 97 on the line. When should action be unlocked - after firing a round (due to recoil), after pushing forward on the forearm of a closed action with hammer down, or while pushing the slide lock release button with the action closed and hammer down. Also, whenever the gun action is open (the auto-pivoting of the lock bar away from the carrier surface when the carrier is exposed below the frame takes care of this). Maybe you need to tell us the context of how this problem started to occur. Is this a new gun to you, and it has shown this problem from the beginning? Is this a problem that has occurred recently, after working well for a while? Did this problem begin AFTER you did a major disassembly and reassembly of the gun? It's pretty easy to assemble the gun so it mostly works but the slide lock does not. good luck, GJ

  16. So, costume, holsters, gun belts, guns and gun modifications must be period correct and use period correct materials. Carts, immune? Whoda thunk it! Then again, been a loooong time since I shot a match. Live long & prosper!
  17. The Roman Church does, or at least it used to, have rules about divorced people. Does the Greek Church have similar rules? I just finished watching Mama Mia. This is a great musical comedy romance that takes place on a Greek Island. 21 years ago Sam and Donna had a couple of hot and heavy nights, and then Sam told her that he had to leave because he had to go back to England to get married. He was engaged. The whole plot of the movie is wrapped around Donna's daughter Sophie, who is getting married, and who wants her father (who she's never met) to be at the wedding. At the wedding Sam asks Donna to marry him. She tells him that she is not a bigamist. "Neither am I. I'm a divorced man who has been in love with you for 21 years." So they get married. In that church with the ceremony performed by what looks like a priest. Since the church is in Greece I am assuming that this is a Greek Orthodox Church. I could be wrong - they don't specify. But that's what I presume. And since Sam had proclaimed in front of the priest that he was divorced, the priest knows. Knowing this is a movie and they can do whatever they want to --- in real life, can a Greek Orthodox priest marry a divorced person? Or are there rules against it?
  18. In a Texas truck stop: Here I sit upon the pooper Giving birth to a new State Trooper.
  19. It’s about priorities and where we choose to spend our money. With the new cart, there will be some of the Three Wheelers coming available on the ā€œusedā€ market! So, there will be deals for both ā€œcheapā€ and ā€œfrugalā€ sorts! šŸ˜‰šŸ˜˜šŸ˜‚ Hugs! Scarlett
  20. Dang! I’m gonna stick with my repurposed jogging stroller! I could put that money toward a new set of guns! Maybe I’m just cheap. Or frugal……… Sam Sackett
