Careful Fin, last time I was there there was a bullet hole in the couch I slept on.
FREEDOM...USE IT OR LOSE IT!!
Re: Poor poor baby
Perhaps.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

At least you didn't get handcuffed to the cistern. Come to think of it, is that rust or blood?Longcolt44 wrote:Careful Fin, last time I was there there was a bullet hole in the couch I slept on.

Or so I have read in the Holy Tome.

Re: Poor poor baby
Update. After way too long, this pistol is on the verge of being finished. It just needs it's new springs, and reassembly. Thanks for being patient Chuck. I think you will be pleased.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Re: Poor poor baby With UPDATE. New photos.
That is a perfect truck gun millman and a nice job on the finish, I have been looking for a new truck gun also, my last one was swept up in a deal, hard to find them working good with ruined finishes.
I'm thinking about a little cold blue on this one.

Where'd you find that, the bottom of Lake Havasu?

Re: Poor poor baby With UPDATE. New photos.
Fin, that S&W looks to be beyond my skill level. I'll let you know when I hit Wizard status. ET, that one is beyond Wizard level. Actually LC's pistol wasn't hard. Just disassemble, sandblast the parts to refinish, and send it out with a batch of machine parts going to the black oxide place. K&I Hardchrome in New Albany IN is the place we send our stuff to. They do nice work.
The new springs are in the pistol now, so it is just a matter of putting it all back together. I am gonna have to watch the how to video, as I can't seem to remember, how all of the internals fit together.

Re: Poor poor baby With UPDATE. New photos.
Found it 20 years ago on top of the boiler of a historic house I was helping clean out in before the house was moved for the 125 freeway in lemon Grove California. The house was on top of a hill, originally there was a basement with a garage and utility rooms, none of that moved, only the original house, this is where I found it more or less, in the orginal boiler room before the house was moved to a park.entropy wrote:Where'd you find that, the bottom of Lake Havasu?
