I think I would have contacted the safe manufacturer first. Key's mechanical taking out batteries and closing door shouldn't have effected it. Of course I have to ask, did you try to give the keyhole a good squirt of your favorite penetrating oil?

From my reading it looks like the 3" is one of the "rare" custom variations. As to the 2", I'd guess after marked smithing. As I mentioned, I just bought the Goforth book H&R Arms Company 1871-1986. If you don't have the book, and I can look anything up, let me know. The book...

Lawyers! While often misquoted and misattributed "first kill all the lawyers" is as prophetic as Nostradamus or Orwell.

Great news, prayers continue. Looking forward to his explaining why a guy his age is messing around on go carts. Not that I've ever done anything like that.

I will note just how spoiled we have become. If you go back to the days of the very first modems you'll remember the trials and tribulations of installing software and getting it and the hardware to communicate (and that's before you tried to connect to another computer, that's right one computer, n...

Okay, the OP's pistol is a pre 1952 First Model. All had the same checkered walnut grip. There is one exception. The first 7 variations were walnut, the 8th was a checkered plastic grip. All of these had solid ribs. So if the grips are smooth, someone sanded them. The Second Model showed up in 1953....

When I don't have any ammo. But then I'd just make some so I guess the answer is really never.

Grips and barrel configuration changed over the years. This one is circa 1980. Checkered grips and scalloped rib. Not sure when they started putting the scallops on the barrel rib. https://i.imgur.com/X8WlNur.jpg?1 See, you made me look. So it's all your fault, at least that's what I'll tell my wife...

The thing with automatics over manuals is that when you rebuild them you have to be a lot more attentive about keeping even the smallest debris out of an auto. Various ports and valves can either plug off or get stuck open by some really small stuff.

Prayers up for a speedy recovery.

Only if I have both long and short guns in the same caliber. I think all could be used in either (I don't try to invent things not in manuals) but accuracy potential ( potential because I am the limiting factor) is better in one gun or the other.

They look complicated. And there are lots of parts. But they are just stacked on a few shafts. It's time consuming but there isn't any magic to them. If you can use hand tools and have patience, the hard part is getting in in & out of the vehicle.

Trannys are way beyond my skill level. Tranny rebuilders make you think so. But unless there has been some really nasty physical damage it's mostly replacing seals and o-rings. There are some tools that make it easier to do, but once you've bought those... Heck, anymore you can probably find a vide...

First job out of the military was working in a radiator repair shop. Boss was one of those types that always wanted you to work faster. Even though at the end of the day we had all of the vehicles done unless we were waiting for parts. I got the job because I had been working on cars since I was ab...

The slope behind me is pretty steep. In 79' when we moved in I did it by hand. It took days and every year I kept telling myself I would just keep up with it so it wasn't such a big job. Never really happened. For a few years my neighbors and I did rent goats. That worked until the coyote population...

Ever notice that when you are really, and I mean really, fighting to get something mechanical done. Then you bust open your knuckle and it all goes smoothly the rest of the way?

Or as my dad used to say, "Blood is the lubricant for success".

I'm with Jim, burn it. By the way, what is your objection to spraying?

Still mostly pretty boring stuff. All way too practical. The only guy with any sort of imagination is the fellow who wants a P-08 for a carry pistol.

Well, I have never shot a chrony. Now three on the other hand.

Geobru is sort of right. But as you move the declination changes. So while a straight line from the original bearing might end up in Baltimore depending on how often you took a bearing it would be different. So if you're traveling by foot and taking daily or better morning, noon, and evening bearing...

Polar shift is still an unproven hypothesis. If Cussler hadn't written his book most folks would never have heard of it. As to declination. Yes, it does slowly shift. If you have an old map on which the declination is marked (most topos) you can google it and get the current declination. I just writ...

Not just those that live in bear country, but any who venture into bear country. It's interesting to note that growing up in town, the only predators we had of descent size were red foxes. These are the cute little ones you see in nature videos, they run about the size of a coyote. A very small popu...

Never been a dedicated handgun hunter, except for rabbits and such. By far most of the jacks I have taken have been with a Mk I Target with a 6 7/8" barrel. But I have over the years taken critters up to the size of deer with a handgun for various reasons. Since I typically carry handguns with ...

Oka, how does the camera get out in front of the drone to take video of it? It may have a 360 camera, but when you look at the drone you don't see anything connecting the camera to it. Me thinks probably AI.

I don't have ants, darn it. I just finished using a expanding foam material for setting posts & such. Works pretty good. I wonder what it would do to an ant colony. Cheap too, less than $10.

Such pedestrian choices. Have none of you any romance in you? Not a spark of imagination? Let's see some choices that are at least a bit uncommon. How about a Mateba? How about a Broom handle Mauser? Let's here some choices that stir the soul.

Thanks, Fred! I lived in San Diego for about 6 months in '76 and then in Escondido for about a year thereafter.

5 inch 54 caliber naval rifles are just little stuff. But the shells are more powerful than the older 5 inch 38 caliber naval rifles from WWII. Plus it is a much more rapid firing. But this is a navel rifle. https://i.imgur.com/E1T3VCZ.jpg 16 inch 50 caliber. For those that don't know, the inches is...

As I've said before. If all of the governments and religious leaders got together and announced that aliens exist and visit daily, the world would issue a collective sigh and go back to watching reruns of I Love Lucy.

Nice, Vall. Any idea what properties the steel possesses in terms of strength and edge holding? None Bill. The seller said they are Arkansas Damascus, and that's all I know. They were fairly sharp when I bought them, but I did some more shaping on the blades to a profile I wanted and then sharpened...

Pretty much dad and my uncles. But in particular I had an aunt who everyone had to admit was the best shot of them all. She grew up on a farm in Arkansas.

Hand hammered Damascus is indeed beautiful. But I have seen some, possible like the kitchen knives mentioned above, where a block of steel is machined hammered into a Damascus pattern then sliced into pieces that are then machined into knife blanks. All done by machines. In fact I had a customer tha...

So you contract to a supplier to deliver the goods you order. How he delivers them is up to him. And he is responsible for the items until they are physically in your hands (not just tossed in the front yard). But to insure that the people the supplier contracts with does their job they want you to ...
