The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

Happy to report the furnace is still good.

Told the 72 year old neighbors about it and inspected their flame sensor, it needs cleaned and I told them I'd be happy to do that for them.....as long as I get a peanut butter pie out of the deal.

Good man!

The 457 is at USDS in Columbus.

Can't wait to coonfinger it.

Morning all.

Stuck at home until fedex delivers. Brownells thinks it needs my signature for some powder. The way fedex is operating now, the driver probably won't bother with the signature and most likely will leave it on the ground by my mailbox. They mark this as being delivered to the mailroom.

Can’t wait for all of you to check the fit and finish of this one.View attachment 168297

I love the idea of a commander… but I’ve never shot one well for some reason. Had a stellar SA Champion that came out of the House of Mouse, couldn’t shoot the darn thing. Then I had a Ruger commander, which I modified and still couldn’t shoot it well… That one ended up with Mouse and he further modified it. I am however able to shoot and carry a full size just fine….

Ruger Commanders and 1791 Gunleathers. These are a few of my favorite things.

Truthfully my accuracy is suffering on this one. Time for a new barrel. What mods did you do to yours?

I think Robocop's gun was a modified Beretta M9/92.

RH - you could EASILY shoot this BUL Armory salad/demander-commander. It is a breeze to hold and shoot straight.

Mine would not reliably cycle when I got it new, I had to break it down and smooth things out. I don’t remember all the details, but it was quite a bit of work. I think mostly it was looks. I removed the laser marks on the slide abs frame, then bead blasted it. Sweet gun when I was done with it!

What brand did you get?

I have no idea.

Look familiar? I got this from the mouse a while back. Sounds like this may have been yours in the past. Very sweet shooter btw. The trigger.....omg. 2lbs 11oz of greatness

Fed Ex made Mrs. Mcapo show her ID as age verification for the last powder delivery.

I had some feeding issues remedied be a new spring. Went WC flatwire.

A disposal from the Cody Museum arrived today, one of the first Manhattan revolvers made while Thomas Bacon was running the operation. Shortly after it's inception the owners of Manhattan move to NJ from Norwich Conn. into a new manufacturing facility, but Bacon parts ways with the company to stay in Norwich. He later founds his own company making a gun that closely resembles this revolver, it's part of an earlier post. Non functional, it's in the solvent tank now and I'll get it apart in the near future. I've worked on both Bacons and later Manhattans so it shouldn't be too hard.

That’s it! I loved that gun, carried it for awhile. But after trying… and trying… I just couldn’t shoot it well. Looks good though!

Did she take that as a compliment?

 

[mcapo]

Did she take that as a compliment?

Yep. Then ask why she had to sign.

I said it was adult only products.

I thought that described gun powder but apparently it could be taken otherwise.

That's one way to flirt I suppose.

I'm free...fedex actually delivered to the door for a change. Didn't get the "required" signature that Brownells paid for but hey, baby steps are better than nothing.

I'm waiting for something that will require me to work....in order to employ it.
But that's OK, as I'm still happy for the chance to use it this Fall.
An Ego battery-powered (5.0 Amps !) "brushless" leaf blower is enroute. Between here and the cabin, I have a lot of leaves to move this year. The last time I used my old, corded B&D blower, the motor actually started smoking.....then, it stopped !
