So...... A dumb question. When you are installing the parts kit into an AR15 lower, the hammer comes with a tiny spring/clip installed. The pin has a corresponding groove. this is a detent intending to retain the pin? Now! How do you install the pin with its very square end to push past the...
They sure have made a mess out of the vote. A quick check online tells me that I suddenly am not qualified to vote. Hmmmm.... I am looking at my voters registration card right now. I also cant seem to get good information on the location of my polling site. It seems that I am disenfranchised...
I am old. My health is frightening. I am crippled with arthritis among other things. One foot in the grave, as it were. Now I think I am depressed. Here's what happened. I took my grandson out shooting. I played with my little charcoal burning derringer while I watched my grandson burn through a...
Hey INGO! Long time, no see. I need a new pistol like I need a hole in my head. (he he he, see what I did there?) Still, I am amused by the thought of using .gov stimulus money to support a suffering industry. AKA, buy a new pistol! Now granted I haven't called anybody else because I like to buy...
Hey, I've got a Classic Arms kit gun that I want to add beads to for front sights. It's the little "Twister" cap and ball derringer. I bought a little kit with a drill bit, a tap and two beads for this purpose. So......... Do I drill through into the bore and then file off the butt end of the...
So as to not highjack the other thread, tell your gun-dropping story here! Let me start;
I not only dropped my gun into the toilet, I peed on it too! If that's not bad enough, in 40 years of packing heat I've done it twice!
I witnessed this event. My brother dropped a loaded .22 rifle onto a...
As I suppose many people do, I have a bucket of sand as a makeshift bullet trap. It's to be used for various questionable firearm safety situations. My bucket is here beside my little station where I play with my guns, cleaning, polishing, lubricating, coonfingering, etc. This desk is in an...
My grandson and I are playing with a ridiculous little cap and ball derringer. It's one of those little .36 cal. pistols where you twist/rotate the barrels, sort of like a pepperbox but with only two shots. Now this is no fine quality firearm but we are having lots of fun. I would like to...
Ok.... So Louis CK is in big trouble for "Sexual Misconduct". Say wut? Has anybody seen his show? His whole show is sexual misconduct! Louis CK has got to be the most horrible human person alive today. His very words far exceed what the women are saying his actions were. All of his networks have...
I have one of those Classic Arms "twister" cap and ball derringers and I am trying to get it going. My grandson is very anxious to shoot it. The problem is that I can not find a nipple wrench that fits this gun.
I do have a wrench that I want to turn down to fit. Before I got gimped up, I...
My grandson has dragged out my old cap and ball pistol and we are getting it fired up again. The "gun" in question is a ridiculous little derringer, the Classic Arms "Terrible Twister" .36 caliber. This dubious little pistol has three hammer positions, down, half cock and full cock. The...
After many years neglecting it, I am planning to play with my little cap and ball pistol again. Where can I buy REAL black powder in or about Indianapolis? I need everything else too, caps, balls, patches, lube, measure, the works. who has the reasonable prices on bp stuff?
It seems that Dallas Police "neutralized" Their shooter suspect by blowing him up..... Yes, with a bomb. Not a flash-bang, not a concussion grenade. Not even the kind with the little rubber balls. It was reported as being a genuine bomb.
Am I the only one here who is uncomfortable with this...
Just to throw this out there; Suppose you were out in public when some idiots bust around the corner with AKs and/or ARs and hollering about wanting everyone to meet Allah. Then suppose while $#!+ing your drawers you decide to pull out your little pistola and bust some caps (all caught up in the...
I got my sorry diabetic, arthritic, cancer-ridden, one-foot-in-the-grave butt out to vote today. As I addressed my ballot I saw at least half a dozen people I could nominate as republican candidate for POTUS who arent even running for the position.
Question 1 - If a Person with all the problems...
I am so amused with myself! Here's the story. After cancer surgery there was no way that I could wear stiff scruffy jeans over the incisions, so I have been wearing soft and loose sweatpants. With sweatpants even my puss little derringer drags them down. I had suspenders, the big heavy ones. The...
I am watching "The Gallant Hours" on tv, Channel 59.3. Its a WW2 naval warfare flick. Black & white, unequaled cinematography, first rate actors, a wonderful movie.
There's just one thing...... The word "Jap" is repeatedly deleted. It took several times for me to realize that it was...
The kid brother lives out in the wild and they are shooting all the time. I go to see said brother and sure enough he and a couple of guys are shooting at a 2 liter soda bottle. These guys are all substantially younger than me and here I am tottering around with a stick to keep me from falling...
