    The godfather and scarface....

    You just have crappy outdated taste in movies then. ;) Color! Psha! What an abomination the invention of color photography. Sound too! Perhaps you could tell us about the good old days of silent films? Or why don't we just ditch the videography all together. RADIO was a true dramatic medium...

    The godfather and scarface....

    I liked Heat. But I generally can't stand older movies. If it's black & white I usually have neither the interest or the time. Scarface is Scarface and stands out for exactly what it is in all its cheap violent glory. You can either appreciate it for what it is or not but it is a cult classic...

    Sawzalls. Do they really?

    I have a dewalt 18v cordless. It has kicked a$s and cut everything I've ever asked it to and that includes an awful lot of home demo/renovation work, cutting firewood, felling small diameter trees, etc.

    22 straight wall centerfire

    frankly, with the surge in reloading and the near unavailability of 22rf ammo the time is ripe for the 22ccm to make a resurgence. I've seen several posts across multiple forums for interest in just this cartridge. ETA: Was just looking at some data and found the 5.7x28 is almost identical in...

    Just adopted a stray cat today.

    A couple years ago my wife was pregnant with our son. She was all kinds of moody, nauseous, etc. Then we discovered a stray cat had delivered a litter in the window well in the front of the house. We left the mother food and water for several days but then I noticed on the way out the door to...

    My cat woes

    Cats will continue to urinate in areas where they smell their urine. Removing the urine smell can be difficult. You have to use special chemicals made just for cat urine odor removal. Many times it involves pulling up a section of soiled carpet to treat the padding and subfloor as well. The odor...

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    Well, I'm not the original purchaser and one would think the customer service rep would have suggested the warranty option if it applied and they had the part. He didn't.

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    Found it! Jack First Gunshop in Rapid City, SD makes them and the rivets. The lady on the phone said they'd be shipped today. It was about $60 for two noses, and two rivets shipped to Baltimore.

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    I didn't even ask. I don't know what S&W's warranty is but I bought the gun used, plus, the idea of waiting 6 months+ for repair does not sit well with me. Not when I can buy myself that time for $60 by buying one of the target hammers Midway still has in stock and robbing the nose from it.

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    So No one has these. Period. S&W doesn't make or stock them anymore. All the usual major and minor retailers are sold out and obviously not getting anymore from S&W. One retailer told me that scavenging old guns for parts is the only way to get these and they're very hard to come by that way...

    Time travel...

    My post from the reincarnation thread fits here just as well: I like to contemplate the idea that from God's perspective all of time must exist concurrently and our lives are like brush strokes on a grand canvass called space-time.

    Need Info. on Hornady LNL AP

    You don't really watch everything happening at once. You set each station up individually and then use the feel of the press to tell if something goes wrong like an off-center flash hole or bullet / primer not seating correctly, etc. You watch the powder drop station to visually verify a good...

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    The posts I found suggested maybe something to do with a faulty heat treat on a batch made back then.

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    Thanks for the reply. After I posted I searched and found that apparently this is pretty common, especially for the 629-4. Maybe it wasn't something I did.

    629-4, Broke the firing pin on hammer. Repair or replace hammer?

    So I went to fondle my new-to-me 629-4 today and noticed the tip of the firing pin is broken off. (This gun has the firing pin on the hammer) Can I just replace the firing pin piece or do I need to buy a whole new hammer? I'm a little stumped as to how it happened. It wasn't broke the ladt...

    Reincarnation?

    Here's a question to ponder: If you had a choice between never existing at all, or being reincarnated repeatedly to eventually live every life that has ever and will ever exist, which would you choose?
