CM, I'll bet that you had a great view of the B52 as it flew by. What a neat old airplane. Years ago, when Castle AFB was having runway work done, their B52s used to do touch and go's at Travis and I'd waste my entire lunch just sitting in my truck under a tree watching them.

Sometimes it's fun to do stuff like that. The 1/4's on my Pontiac are full of spray foam inside the trunk to keep the exhaust fumes out. It will get fixed..... Someday....

I did the spray foam thing to an old Fiat that had wheel well issues. It's handy stuff.

The only time it becomes an issue is when people try to pass that off as real body work and collect all the money at the auctions... Have seen this way too many times...

That bird was no more than 300' off the deck maybe lower when it went "Directly" over my house. They usually use Georgetown as a path but this guy was west of center to the road just enough to be straight up over us.
He spooled up right there and the black smoke rolled and he was gone.
Huge aircraft. But graceful enough.

I get a serious urge to throat punch those low lifes.

It's no different than selling a broken gun as a functional one. Low lifes exist everywhere. I hate to hear people relate how they had a gun that was a jam-o-matic so they dumped it on someone else. If there's no full disclosure, then the seller is an asshat.

On a happier note, I've been toying with a couple of projects lately and am contemplating trying to match the CDE look in a CZ Compact. The biggest issue would be to send the slide off to be NP3'd and the lack of front strap checkering. Other than that, I think I could do it.

Could Allen do the checkering...???

I've asked him about that and he's not sure he could do it due to the shape of the front strap. That's why I like asking him stuff like that. If he can do it, he'll let you know, but if he is not sure, he won't experiment on your gun.

Hmmm. I've got a gun that's the perfect experimental piece. Perhaps once I get though this first round of experiments on it, that can be the next step.

I think I'll get my father in law a gun for Christmas since I built a range at his new place. What to get...

So here is a question.

What do you guys think about the Canik/tri-star c-100 clone of the cz-75 compact?

I got a friend who is just out of college and working as an account manager in the south Side of Chicago and NWI and wants to get a gun for his car(Im going to have him get an IN Carry permit) and from what I see they look like good guns.

Hell Im also looking to get one to stash in my car and to carry (they are 25oz) as a upgrade from the makarov I currently use as a carry car gun. (and its half the price of a CZ P-01) Also Im interested in shooting the gun in IDPA compact carry pistol and taking my friend there too after he gets his gun and a few range sessions as a test/training etc

So anyone have any experiance with them? Do they take mec-gar CZ compact magazines? Are the guns reliable? Can you get standard CZ compact grips on them? Is the accuracy acceptable? Do they run steel case (Yeah Im cheap to afford to shoot I just buy bulk packs of wolf and Tulammo)

What does he like...

It will be his only firearm. Hasn't been a shooter.

I've had a real urge to get an AR pistol the past week or so. I have been good about not buying stuff since we are trying to get rid of the credit card debt. I don't think this urge is going to go away, so if I were to get one I'd have to sell something to at least partially fund it. I'm thinking it would be the P-01 and I really don't think I want to let that go. Tough decisions.

I just finished my AR pistol. I had some issues with it being under gassed but that has been dealt with. They are fun. Great home defense piece.

Pistol or rifle.

Morning all...

Pistol or rifle.

Yep, that would be my question as well. If pistol, I'm really loving my Victory SW22 or a Ruger Mark IV would also be nice. Fun to shoot and ammo is much cheaper at 5 - 6 cents a round
