  1. I'm gonna do the "SS laser detail" when I have all the tools! Man my luck with fricken guns sometimes!! School for dummies haha.
  2. That would put a smile on his face for sure! Way to go Hemi!
  3. Haha Roger that!
  4. Thanks again for the links! Last question inch # or foot #? I'm guessing inch but a guy once told me I had big arms for a little guy! I dropped it off with the lgs/ Smith and he didn't have the tools to get it back in line.. but I will soon. Thanks
  5. Oh that's nice.
  6. Thanks fellas. 175# and I moved it with a 9" wrench hmmmm? Does the extension threads turn righty tighty looking from the mussel end of the barrel? Or is it up to the barrel maker?
  7. Last night I swapped a barrel out for a longer one.. used a standard clamshell and a vice to remove the break.. well I lost most of my lights so it was kinda dark for the process.. I started wrenching on the break and it was rather tight so I gave it a quick jab and it felt like it broke loose, so I went in for another bight and noticed the gas block was sideways!?? Well I grabbed more light and realised I turned the whole Barrel! The barrel extension was held in place by the pin and notch in the upper.. so I sum what corrected the spun barrel by hand. It's now off by my eye an 1/8 th" or more. Is this a problem that can be fixed easily? Luckily it was the barrel to be replaced with a new longer version, so not down and out. My guess the cheep steel break rusted it's self solid in the threads and I over did it! But it came off no problem after that. Is there a better way to hold a barrel than the upper set up in a clam shell? I guess I could vice the barrel with some leather if things get bound up? Some breakes won't fit in some small handguards? Any thoughts?
  8. 8.5" barrel grew a pair and graduated to 10.5 and can now host the can!!
  9. I tried them a while ago at a rn length but had lots of jams. Cant rember how much shorter they need to be but not much? I should have wrote it down..
  10. All that rough bedroom tusselin caused a sizemic event and broke a water main? They sure did cut a big enough hole to burry some shits!
  11. Checked my email this is what I see..

    So it is sad to say Pat has passed due to complications of a broken neck from his fall Friday. He made it through sugery just fine.. top two vertebrae were fused and he had complete motion and brain function.. then the complicated parts were from a breathing tube that messed up his throat. He was unable to take food or medications that he needed for Parkinson's and other illnesses. He was fighting to the end! " get the hell out of here!" He told a nurse messing with his tubes the day before. He passed in the early morning 5/30/17 I hope to learn his legacy from his wife also a navy veteran. Rip Pat B Thank you for your service you will be rembererd and never forgot!! I did help him down the ramp before It had railings and he had a huge smile that day. I wish I took a picture of him enjoying the sun in his backyard once again.
