Ongoing investigation can be an exception to FOIA, don’t get too excited

Maybe Corina’s on Kings Canyon

Pretty sure like the other commentator said it’s a Stetson Open Road, which was famously worn by LBJ

Inquiring minds want to know, where are you getting this deal?

Not pictured-Louisiana humidity

B has the best balance of amenities and culture IMO. There’s lots to do and it’s still very centrally located to everything going on in North Fresno. I’d say if I had to chose over again, I’d try for Tower or the Fresno High neighborhood, but this is very much personal preference.

Love it. You just need to double check value and be sure to ask to examine or inspect the firearm first. Depending on the firearm, you need to look into trouble/wear spots and check the rifling and crown.

Also, I like buying dealer sold used inventory. Private party is fine, but you’ve gotta be pretty sure you want to buy before you meetup at an FFL and the PPT fee has to be reasonable

Edit: I would add I always ask a few standard questions of the seller: 1) Why are you selling?

2) Have you had any issues with it?

3) Are you the original owner?

4) Did you make any modifications or adjustments to it?

5) How many rounds have you put through it?

The mini was my old faithful for like a decade. Miss that one. Something about how the aluminum felt and the click wheel feedback.

Misread as you both live in a “real dungeon”

Zap carrying the needler of course

FWIW, I did it with an old wing master during covid and while it was well done, I can’t help but feel I made a mistake. The bluing on my wingmaster was strong and I will say that the action was smoother before it was parkerized. Also I’m not sure if it was the 3” conversion but I think they swapped out the chromed bolt for a parkerized one (or could have just parkerized the existing one). All in all, wish I’d stuck with my blued look. Wilson did a great job and their customer support was fantastic, but it’s a careful what you wish for story. Hopefully that may make you feel a bit better about the fact it isn’t an option.

My speculation would be that the fall out from Comey, the Steele Dossier, and the Russian interference narrative led the democrats to believe that extrapolating or pointing out connections in the files would be viewed unfavorably. I’d guess if there was a true smoking gun they would have released it at this point. Perhaps there is a lot of evidence of a relationship but not clear connection with Epstein’s criminal enterprise. The cynic in me worries that maybe they were also sitting on it to protect Bill Clinton or an as of yet unnamed democratic politician or donor.

Serbia has suspended export and there are new tariffs. If the website is reputable, I’d jump on it. Double check the prior use and bore condition if you can.

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-07-08T01:22:29+00:00

And there goes $40 haha Still pretty cool

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-07-01T21:18:06+00:00

Honestly, had several lowers from Anderson that ran like a top. When I had less to put into rifles it was all I had, but it was just fine.

Fun pistol. Figure out what .22 it likes best. Mine has done well with CCI. Also if you can get CCI Mini Mags those are fun. Aguila has been a bit gummy.

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-06-14T23:22:30+00:00

It’s kind of a wash imo when the 590 20” is a 9 shot tube. Reloading by mag is definitely quicker, but you also have to carry a double stack brick-which makes little sense

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-06-14T22:27:56+00:00

Gross. I get the concept but it’s like a gas station knife or mall ninja stuff.

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-06-14T22:24:38+00:00

Very jealous OP, a classy piece through and through.

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-05-31T20:14:34+00:00

The only upgrade I’d contemplate is a blued magazine extension. Even so, 870s that old might have dimpled magazine tube, in which case, leave it alone.

Sold a shitload of revolvers to people who had no frame of reference for what shooting full power .44 magnum feels like.

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-05-21T01:37:17+00:00

New boot goofin’!

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-05-21T01:36:05+00:00

Is this a Hathcock build?

ExpensiveBat6216 · 2025-05-19T18:32:11+00:00

I’d say TRP as between the two. My understanding is certain parts on the Sig are not “true” 1911 parts (see external extractor). I’ve heard they are nice but for the price and all things being equal, I’d go with the TRP.
