The Darksider's Den / Re: We're not at the grocery store, but "Paper or Plastic"

 :)  WELL !!  ;)

I for one, am completely satisfied.  Spanish Inquisition not withstanding.  I am completely happy.  The pretty pictures now show up just fine.  I like the Pretty Pictures MAKO posts.  I have also been a fan of the Pretty technicolor CAD drawings MAKO posts.  Especial since I have never been able to post pictures on this site.

Seeing the hulls in actual cross section also explains what "others" have described about certain Shotgun Hulls and why they say they may not be as good as they once were.  Although again, seeing the actual hulls in stunning technicolor, cross sectioned explains a bunch.  And to me, would indicate some of those who whine about the newer hulls, really have nothing to complain about.  After all, the rounds still go BANG, the poppers go down (or the clays bust) and the hull can be reloaded numerous times, unless loading with Black.  Brass Hulls, of course go "To Infinity And Beyond" (stolen famous movie line).

I do admit however, I have acquired an amount of once fired AA hulls for a project, and as soon as I can figure an efficient way to cut 'em down to Two and a Half inches, I'm gonna begin that project.  It's just for Funzies, not a long term replacement for my favor'd Brass Hulls to be understood.  Diet Coke SUX

My question:  How was your Rifle Short Stroked??  In the grand scheme of things, if a rifle has questionable Head Space OEM, and the Short Stroke is "cut and weld" the cut and weld makes it worse.

Often, if a rifle has wonky Head Space, a Short Stroke "KIT" can resolve most of the issue.  We would need to know, if a kit was used, who made the kit (Pictures).  The current manufacturers of Kits can and will offer Links longer than stock to help correct bad head space.

Thats was good one Santee, as a Film Production Designer, it was constant struggle for weeding out anachronisms and continuity mistakes.
It was not perfect though, in "Houston the Legend of Texas " a reenactor's wristwatch got by.
Another in " Gettysburg", even after the Background artists were instructed to remove any such tell tales.
A biplane pulling a banner almost made a take, requiring a reshoot the same scene a few days later.

Oh yeah, the way this is related is that Mako needs to re-do his poll again to add paper hulls.  :)

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Deacon,
Good to know.  I have had to "relearn" or learn for myself many things over the years.  It seems the older I get the more I learn that I didn't know.

Good on 'ya.

I just received this morning an email from Harbour Freight, say's I have won a Pittsburg Tool Set.

 Scammers are doubling efforts to rip off internet users by impersonating the hardware store chains like Harbor Freight Tools in emails and on websites. The fake "free" offers presented by scammers in a variety of different emails included a "170-Piece Stanley Tool Set," "Milwaukee Power Drill," "DeWalt Power Station," and other products.
 I have received other similar email scams including Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace and others.

The links in all of the emails, began with a survey and ended with a hidden subscription scam. The survey is fake, meaning that no one was going back and checking users' answers to compile any data.

I have 3 of the beasts and had at least three more S&W 1917s over the years. I too, thought it was hogwash, but... I have seen that the 1917s with US marked barrels all needed 454 lead bullets OR hard cast 452s or FMJs to group decently. The 2 Colt 1917s I have had did not exhibit this behavior. I have not had any commercial built S&Ws in .45ACP, so I cannot speak for them.
