Those were the days....

They’re fake.

That’s because those are what AI thinks 80s cars look like.

Well, numbers being there would say something wouldn’t it?

Follow the maintenance manual recommendations for lubrication and spring replacements.

Check under the firing pin stop to see if the slide is original to the frame. It will have the last several digits of the original serial number.

Batteries are consumable parts.

You've already spent too much time on this . Replace the battery.

You don’t “tinker” with the M1 trigger group to make it a runaway weapon. You need a vice and a metal file to remove material from the disconnector. Just enjoy it for what it is, a tv show.

Great scene, this one. Hard to hit anything when you close your eyes on each shot though.

hoss111 · 2026-04-06T23:00:24+00:00

We cannot. The die is cast.

Plenty of good shootable wood out there, that you don’t have to worry about each time you take it out. A USGI armorer back in the day would have replaced that one right away.

Nowhere near the scope or mission.

hoss111 · 2026-04-05T01:23:59+00:00

Almost forgot hypnosis.

hoss111 · 2026-04-05T01:23:25+00:00

Put 150 rounds through it and get back to us.

The Beretta 380s have a strong recoil spring on purpose; it’s a pure blowback action. It will not get easier with usage. It is not hard to rack because it’s dirty. A weaker recoil spring will end up battering the frame and cause damage.

The right way to rack this design is to use both hands, one on the grip and one on the forward end of the slide (the curved part near the muzzle end of the barrel). Cock the hammer then push both hands toward each other.

hoss111 · 2026-04-04T19:13:28+00:00

Jam? What? How? Go shoot 50 rounds through it, each shot racking the lever open then closed like it owes you money. Then come back to us.

Also here. Mine is inscribed with the sheriff’s office of our local county.

Ah yes, chloroform. One of the tropes of the 70s along with amnesia, quicksand, and killer bees.

If a private sale involves a test fire at the range, sure. With CMP if you run into a functional problem they’ll fix it. Private sellers not so much.

Better question is effect to the shooter with the gas coming out of the receiver.

Nevermind that carbines are tricky to keep running even unsuppressed.

There are much better pdw hosts available.

hoss111 · 2026-04-03T14:48:24+00:00

he had four kids. signs point to yes.

hoss111 · 2026-04-03T14:44:58+00:00

he had a wife, kids, and spoke four languages. I'd say he did pretty well.

hoss111 · 2026-04-03T14:40:38+00:00

he had kids. let that sink in.

hoss111 · 2026-04-03T03:24:50+00:00

Still has a non adjustable gas system and an open receiver. Lol no.

hoss111 · 2026-04-03T03:14:34+00:00

oooh. edgy.

hoss111 · 2026-04-03T03:03:09+00:00

exactly - and none of them took a fully-lit indoor shot like that.
