"Your honor, it was dark. I had no idea the person who had kicked in my door was an illegal alien."

Just giggling to myself. You know there is some dumbass out there that has a selector that says "No kill, kill, KILL KILL KILL!!"

Well I'm sure they'll release his name soon. "The shooter, middle-aged white supremecist Trump supporter Mohammed Rhazghani..."

Those rings look like the ones that were coming with those giant parallax wheel scopes.

Ssooo, any of them.

I think it is something like a Har-Bar, with a funky custom muzzle attachment. http://www.gunblast.com/JessHardin-Mini14.htm

Looks like a Hollywooded Mini-14.

I can hear cops there now "Hunh, this is the 15th Colt with this serial number this week."

Finally! Something we agree about! <cheers>

No, the other ban.

I agree. I like the RRA polymags quite a bit!

Oh his butt is hurt. That's for certain. He called today. He's been pulling bullets. Found quite a few with 10gr of Power Pistol. Definately a double charge. Wants to blame every piece of equipment but the one between his ears. Says the 5-0-5 scale must have bumped up 10gr for a few loads without him noticing it, then went back down. Every time he came up with an excuse, I would say "Or it's the guy loading." Doesn't want to admit he may have made a mistake. Load long enough and you will.

I wish I'd seen it before he started tinkering with it. My theory is the primer of the round in the magazine was blown out by the pressure of the blowout, allowing it to pop on the back of the magazine. The residue of burnt powder was all over quite an extensive area. Somehow I missed taking a photo of the frame.

Except there is another New George Wallace: Bernie Sanders. Just read an article that over 50% of (D)s voting for Sanders now will refuse to vote for Hillary in the general election.

So one of my buddies calls me up yesterday afternoon, says he blew up his new Ruger SR1911 Commander Lightweight, that "the round just went off in the magazine." My immediate first thought was "No it didn't." So grab my trusty Brownell's red toolbox and head out to his place. He was insistent that he fired and the 1911 cycled and ejected but the next round went off in the magazine. Blew off the bottom grip screws on each side. Couldn't retract the slide but about 1/4". He also said that when he pulled the mag out, the next cartridge was still in place with the side blown out and the bullet still in place. Also very insistent that he loaded 4.5gr of Power Pistol, with regular LPP and a 230gr FMJ. When I looked, first thing I did was shine a light into the chamber witness hole that Ruger has on their SR1911s: yup, case still in the chamber. Took the nylon side of the Brownell's hammer and was able to get the slide off the frame and we knocked out the case. The case head had blown out and down into the magazine. Speculation now but it appears that the force from the BOOM cranked down on the next cartridge, smashed it against the rear of the magazine with enough force to pop the primer and ignite the powder. Both combined charges blew out the bottom of the grips. All theory at this point, so I texted up brother Hemi with the following photos. He stated the same, that the case in the chamber blew out by the loading ramp and that it was most likely a double charge of powder. Using my buddy's calipers, we measured both the slide rails and frame rails. Both had a slight swelling of a couple of thousandths of an inch near the feed ramp if in battery. When trying the slide to frame fit afterwards, there was a binding between the frame/slide forward of the battery position. After I left, he cleaned it and said the binding is gone and everything moves well and clear. There were no visible cracks or other damage to the naked eye, other than the one lower grip screw he found had the lower 2 threads stripped off. The grip bushings were fine. Grips were fine. Hard to see in the photo, the top round in the mag that went off imprinted the case head shape onto the magazine! I have to say, having read that Ruger made the slide and barrel from one solid forged piece of steel, I now believe it. Pretty damn strong! Be careful reloading! Check, double check, recheck! You can see in the one slide photo the bit of primer cup that is stuck in the firing pin hole. Thanks again Hemi!

Honestly, I can't recall off the top of my head anyone who has fullfilled The Rule who then had buyer's remorse.

It's a good time of year to visit there. Before it hits 130°.

Thought this was pretty cool, an enbloc clip loader: Not sure about the person posting the video, it that is the one here or not.

All mine seem to have powder preferences.

So that is in addition to your Texas game tags? Or are the tags only for public land?

I'd love to but my weekend was already planned out for me. Got family up there?

Now, since nobody else is trying it, load up some .308 saboted round in that baby! Call it The Cowboy Accelerator.

Hunh. I can't help but notice from your photo that your Marlin is in stainless phuckin' steel!! Which is like a MILLION times cooler than Tom's plain blued one!

Magwa, better pay his & her airfare! Robo's can be round trip. <baaahahahahahaha>
