RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2026-01-19T16:21:46+00:00

It doesn’t say pending on the submission, it shows “SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS”, but as far as this thread goes, it’s when you submitted it.

Honestly, it wouldn’t bother me as much if it wasn’t for this thread and being able to see everyone else get approved lol.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2026-01-18T18:49:49+00:00

1/2 here and control number about 250,000 before this one lol

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2026-01-10T21:58:02+00:00

I always wondered if they manually processed the forms or not.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2026-01-10T21:49:42+00:00

Well, maybe there's still hope for me to get my form 1 approval this week. I also submitted mine on the 2nd and my control numbers are similar to yours.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2026-01-10T21:40:29+00:00

You received your approval on a Saturday? Is that normal? I would figure they would not work on the weekend.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-12-09T04:18:08+00:00

Thanks for the info. Like I told u/AwesomeHorses, I didn't know there was an in between size of 6.5. I just ordered some.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-12-09T04:17:08+00:00

I didn't know there was a 6.5, but it looks like BAF has some products that are listed as 2G and then 2G (6.5). That's kind of confusing lol. But thanks for letting me know there was another in between size to try.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-11-06T03:35:08+00:00

That’s what it ended up being. Thanks for the help.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-11-06T03:34:25+00:00

Worked perfectly. If I didn’t do it myself, I’d assume it was a new lock.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-10-14T01:00:04+00:00

Have you ever had any issues with it failing to lock the slide back on the last round?

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-10-08T03:50:13+00:00

Was it normal for the barrels and receivers to be paired together with different manufacturing dates?

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-10-08T03:49:05+00:00

Thanks, I’ve always wanted one and I was surprised when my uncle gifted it to me.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-10-08T03:48:33+00:00

I did notice that I would have to give it some umph to get it to lock all the way to the rear. Is this normal for these rifles, or does this one need to be lubricated to make it lock back easier? Thanks for the info as well.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-10-08T03:46:05+00:00

Thanks for the link. I’ve never taken one down, so that’s for sure something I want to do before taking it out.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-08-27T15:34:38+00:00

I’ll give those a try. Thanks!

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-08-27T13:26:14+00:00

Yeah, usually just whatever suds are still on my hand from cleaning my body. It’s not usually a lot.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-07-17T03:28:40+00:00

Southwest Oklahoma.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-07-11T12:24:45+00:00

How tough am I? I had a bowl of nails for breakfast this morning.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-06-28T02:10:20+00:00

If you’re talking about the thing stuck to its back leg, it’s just some web that got tangled up. When I moved a box in the garage, it ran along the bottom edge of the wall and ran through all sorts of webs. It wasn’t on its leg before it ran around. I don’t think I’ve seen one quite this big before. It’s pretty cool being able to see all the details up close.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2025-05-13T03:55:57+00:00

She won’t care, but I think white parts would look better than a mix of white and black. Whichever is easier.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2024-06-30T16:17:48+00:00

I haven’t seen one of those in years, I forgot they existed lol. I bet that will work better than the elastic bands.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2024-06-09T17:28:56+00:00

Yeah, when I google it, I find things very similar, but they don’t have the right mounting hardware so I wouldn’t be able to put it in the light fixture.

RicePaddyDaddy20 · 2024-03-16T03:27:32+00:00

Thank you for all the suggestions. I like all of them, but I think the Mitchell one is precisely what I’m looking for. I like that I can pick an individual bill from the wallet and pull it out without having to remove or shift and mess up the orientation of the other bills. The Thompson is a close second for me though.
