The CZickness XLII looking towards the FGE

AmmoShopOnline has free shipping on orders over $350. That could make for some solid deals as their shipping costs are their biggest downfall. I saw some Norma 9mm for $18.99/50rds.

Finished this up today, it really just needed a complete disassembly and cleaning to get going. Parts had rusted in place so I figure it wasn't even cycled, let alone shot in a long time. Some 400 grit paper and oil got things going and now it can join it's shorter brother out on the range. Probably could use a new hammer spring as the old one seems weak, but I'm guessing it will work on modern caps.

This is one thing I always tell people shopping for vintage Colts, don't expect modern hammer spring strength, old primers and caps took a hard hit to fire and the guns were built that way.

Those are really nice.

The 1862 Police revolver was last cap and ball gun for Colt and for all thier efforts no large metropolitan area would standardize a police gun for another 35 years or so. No less than Theodore Roosevelt would would be the first to standardize, when he was commissioner of the NYCPD he chose the Colt New Police in the then new 32 Colt Police cartridge. We still use it today, oddly as the 32 S&W long.

Too bad about churcmouse. Poor guy has been through it.

@88E30M50, IIRC, wasn't your wife exposed to Covid? How is she?

Tough to be making progress and then have to go back again, best hopes and prayers from here.

I found a site a few years ago.....think it was "the country shed" or 'the garden shed". They have all kinds of sights, cheaper scopes, military mounts for Mosins, Mausers, AKs..... you get the picture.

I placed a $300+ dollar order.......bill NAZI (aka "the wife") "What's this $400 purchase to the country (or garden) shed?!?!?!?!?" I replied, "Remember that pulley assembly I needed for the John Deere riding mower?....$200 cheaper than the dealer, and they had FREE shipping!!!!!" It made it thru the gas chamber undetected.....not many places fly under the radar like that did!!!!

as MM would say.......

https://www.thecountryshed.com/ ... your memory serves you well ... nice site, but to use your excuse, I first need to buy a John Deere riding mower ... what I won't do for firearms and accessories.

Going back to check my work eh? Typical.

Not cool on CM. I will make more good juju sacrifices. And for Ms McCapo, and anyone else that needs it.

I've been waiting for the same, and have been checking all evening .... hoping that CM would post.
Now, it's getting late, even for me !

In gun-talk, this is what showed up today. After MAS Defense notified me that they had all of the parts, I decided to let them build it. I've wanted a 20" barrel .308 AR platform, and now I have a quality upper.
A complete Aero lower is enroute to my FFL.

This is what's under-the-hood.

Morning all...

Been up for a while now. Went to bed early last night and instead of sleeping in I was up before 5:00...
