G-MAN

I guess I'm weird. I like the hard stocks on my P6/P225.

I think he's a hoot. He and Hickok45 have become pals: "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

That's what I'm thinking.

OMG, I'm five minutes into it and I don't think I can listen to Rocky Balboa stuttering and stammering about Glock's any more. Is that guy really the face Glock wants on TNP?

I haven't watched it yet. I'm downloading it and will watch it later.

Yep:

Yes, it's the Spencer 1882, which was the first commercially produced pump.

What is this?

See my post above yours.

I got it off e-bay. It's CNC aluminum. Not sure of the brand. Supposed to fit Remington or Mossberg pumps and autos. It was the exact same size as the plastic one that was in my H&R and went in without any problems. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120681222777

Do you do your Kegels at the same time?

The plastic follower in my H&R Protector was really cheap and flimsy and i think when the mag tube got hot it was the reason I had a couple of failure to feed problems during my shotgun class. I ordered an aluminum follower and I just put it in.

Watching it now. I'm seeing some unsafe gun handling in the pool ball segment.

Did anyone watch Top Shot tonight? I DVR'd it.

Why don't you shoot your Garand? "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

Welcome to the forum. Rifle: Weatherby Vanguard. Caliber: 308 Winchester

Don't know anything about them. The guy that ran Charles Daly was famous for getting his guns from anywhere and everywhere.

Don't you dare "not post." I was poking a little fun, that's all. If you had not posted what you did, I would not have responded with what I did, and then you wouldn't know what you now know.

Ah, mon dieu! The 1886 was Browning's first lever action design sold to Winchester. It enabled Winchester to finally chamber a lever gun in 45-70 to compete with Marlin's 1881. When Winchester wanted a smaller lever action to replace the 1873, all Browning did was scale down the 1886 to fit the smaller pistol rounds used in the 1873. Neither the 1886 or 1892 was really designed for "high pressure" rounds. They were both designed for black powder rounds and it is a testament to their inherent strength that they could later be chambered in smokeless rounds without any major redesign. The first Browning lever gun designed specifically for a smokeless cartridge was the 1894. And the first one designed for truly "high power" smokeless rifle cartridges was the 1895.

1895 strongest, with the 1886 a close second.

I'm not sure I'd consider the Winchester 71 a "Browning." It's certainly based on a Browning design (the 1886), but Winchester made some changes--some say improvements--to the 1886 to create the 71.

Some fuel for this 1911 fire.

The "works" of any 1911, whether it's a $500 RIA made in the Philippines or a $2500 Ed Brown made in Missouri, are all essentially identical. The difference is in the fit and finish and the quality of the materials.
