It never hurts to ask! Nor does it hurt to have duplicates of firearms.
I remember your 00R at Autobahn race. You killed Brian?
I remember your FR500R at Road Atlanta when you killed us vintage guys with your lap times on your first try.
Gun stuff:
It's called a Colt and shouldn't be ignored:
I agree.
I've been holding on to a 95R and Colt 1911's.
I'd go with the 95R. The guns have already doubled. Thank you Mr. Obama. I believe the 95R/00R will show more respect going forward in the market.
It was the best Daytona 500 that I have seen in a long time. The race Saturday was good (Infinity?). Jack Roush has finally found a few good drivers.
Congrats to Joey Lagano and Roger Penske for killing the Rick Hendrick cars!

All three races were a clean Ford sweep! :thumbsup::coolman::beer:
Bruce,
I agree. Jack Roush has some good talent going forward.
Ryan Reed won the race Saturday. He is barely older than my slow 1995 Cobra R.

It's funny to think that I am only 7 months older than Joey Logano...
Yea, yea. I am the age of Bill Gates. I just don't own 100M shares of Microsoft stock. :-D
I have no regrets and did well.
So Doc are you ready to get off of any of those toys locked up in the safe?
I went to the gun store tonight and one of the guys had an old SVT40 rifle. Those are pretty darn cool in person.

I actually tend to keep mine a long time. If I find a particular revolver in better condition, I'll buy it and sell the older one. I have stuff older than you. :-D
I did sell some extra parts (extra holsters, stocks, boxes, etc.) recently. Wow, the market is different now than before (BO, before Obama). I'd clean it up, do a good picture, and post it. I sold an old worn-out Colt box (I had traded away the Colt and forgot about the box) for $100. I netted $2430.
I've been working with different waxes and other stuff this winter:
The Flitz is great stuff. The Ren Wax (under the shotgun shell) is good stuff (made in England). I also have a few old coins. It's not good to 'wax' them. Buyers want it completely original. Not so for older firearms; the more shiny, the better.
BTW, we are getting a good dusting of snow today. Check it out: :dw:
I find it odd that it snows in GA since some are trying to tell us there's global warming? :dw:
CLP and Hoppes 9 are some great products.. I have a few other products that I use as well but those are always in my range bag.
I agree. I had to buy one of those kerosene fired heaters just to work on my cars in the (rented spot) warehouse this winter. :dw:
One other thing: SVRA scheduled a vintage race for last weekend at Road Atlanta. It's no secret that I don't like their rules (so I wasn't entered). I know some guys that registered for the event. One drove a big Toter Home in from the southwest. Several Atlanta guys spent Wednesday loading up their trailers to drive up for a Thursday entry into the track.
SVRA sent them an email late Wednesday to say the event was cancelled. :nonono:
http://www.svra.com/news/road-atlanta-cancelled/
The guy from out west was in Nashville having driven all day. One local guy called the track who said they had no clue why it was cancelled. Neither were happy about the decision. The weekend turned out to be a little chilly (for GA) on Friday with a nice day Saturday. The rain came in later on Sunday.
It's road racing. A guy may find a wet track. I think racing in the rain is fun.
Global warming is a scam.
Is it true? I just read on another forum that a Maryland guy bought a revolver but had to wait several days before he could actually take it home.
This seems like a direct violation of the Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution?Are you guys going with gun micro-stamping like CA? ;-)
I have three different kinds of Hoppe's #9. The earlier stuff is a 'powder solvent'. It needs to used with care. The later stuff is a 'gun bore cleaner'. Either one needs removal of it with an gun oil after using it.
I use acetone (WalMart paint Department; $15 gal.) to remove oil, dirt, and other stuff before cleaning powder from bores and barrels.
I bought these two S&W small frame (K-frame) .357 Magnums (all .357's are sized to also fire .38 Special). Front one is a 1961, rear is a 1958 (note the trigger and hammer):
In Maryland, a handgun purchase requires a 7 day waiting period while the state police does a background check on you. On any handgun that isn't considered C&R we have to have a Handgun Qualification License (HQL). To get an HQL, you have to go and get fingerprinted and send your prints into the state police. About 3 weeks later, you will receive a license in the mail. Basically it doesn't do shit other than you just gave a $108 to the state police and put your fingerprints on file... I personally don't care about fingerprints since I have purchased suppressors and machine guns. Speaking of suppressors, I got 3 of them in today.
So, you can buy as many handguns as you want with a HQL and a 7 day jail period for your gun? Can you legally buy a gun from a friend/neighbor without the HQL paperwork?
Do you also have to wait 7 days for your right to freedom of speech (1st Amendment) as provided by the United States Constitution? :-D
I have no problem with fingerprinting. I have a GA carry license and an ATF FFL 03. I have friends that don't care for the prints. Under GA Law (the Castle Law), they don't need one to carry in their home, business, and car. They can buy or trade with other GA guys.
It's pretty much impossible to get a carry permit in Maryland if you are a regular citizen unless you own a business. Here is the crazy think about an FFL 03 in Maryland.... I have one as well... I can order a handgun online and get it shipped my door. If I got to the gun store and buy one in Maryland, I have to wait the 7 day wait but I don't need to use my HQL since it is C&R. If I go outside of Maryland and purchase it from an individual, I can come back across state lines that day. Tell me that isn't screwed up?
I butchered that whole post. I responded to your questions in the quotes.

I understand. The ATF FFL is a federal thing which over rides State law. I'd recommend a FFL 03 to everyone who is on the fence (it's $30 for 3 years, all online).
My buddy, Dickson, has a nice S&W K-22 that he got from his grandfather. His legal home is GA. He stays up in the upstate NY Finger Lakes in summer (we call it East Berlin). He can't take the old K-22 to NY. I can with a FFL 03 and stay at his place.
I'd also like to point out that a small little FFL 03 has the same protections as a big-time dealer:
There has been a lot of interest in this car:
Here:
It is almost all true. ;-)
The HSR and SVRA tech stickers are correct. The owner tells me that he let the car go with the original log books. I co-drove this car to a podium at Watkins Glen (it had a racing seat).
It was later wrecked at Watkins Glen (not with me driving it). The roller body was sold to a local body shop guy. Someone added the parts as noted.
Nonetheless, it is still hard to find a proper correct vintage race car for less than $19K. This is a fastback vintage race car with logbooks.

That is an extremely good deal for that fastback. It's hard to find a clean body fastback for under 30 that is "race worthy".
