  1. The shoulder isn't like other joints, or muscle strains. So the typical routines we've found to get us over our aches and pains of life don't work, in fact typically make it worse. If you've got good insurance, find a good sports medicine orthopedic center. Have them take MRI then you will actually know what kind of injury or degeneration you've got. Without it they are all guessing. The good news is that alot of it is fixable, bad news is that it is a slow process. I tore mine in two spots under 20% each on tendon that splits and goes under your shoulder blade. It is getting better very slowly, with help of chiro who is keeping me aligned until I can get back to my normal exercise which is swimming. Maybe soon I be able to sratch my A$$ again with that arm.
  2. Just like football, if the crowd is so loud you can't hear quarterback the RO delays the start until fans quiet down. It just delays everybody. So it is kinda self correcting. Or the shooter can say not ready I can't hear the range commands. Don't need no stinking Rules!!!!!
  3. I a big fan of chamber flags because it allows a quick visual inspection at a distance. Even for the pistols during a 3gun match. We always kept a bag of them for sale, $5 for 3 flags. What happens at the trunk of the car has always been iffy. Rule being empty guns only on the range, should have the flags in when you arrive. Muzzle up or down, as the carts people use vary. Always start at low ready. When loading keep gun pointed down range. When staging guns start with start with one most down range, when finished unload flag them, then hand to the RO and work your way back to each weapon flagging as you go. With three guns, RO carries one, RO/score keeper carries the second, you carry the third and walk them all back to your cart. Somebody said they melt, I haven't had any melt yet, but I use the ones skinny yellows ones from brownell
  4. So on Tahoe are they using a electric AC pump? Anybody know any details about it.
  5. For three gun, I like a chamber flag for all weapons, rifle, pistol, shotguns. Carried either muzzle up or down. I don't like cases because I can't see that the weapon is unloaded. Plus I know people are always fiddling with their triggers and I'm not sure that dropping one is case won't set it off. I don't like chambers open because there could be round in tube drop it and again you could have problems. In fact I like idea of moving toward chamber flags all the time. That way from the trunk to safe table is safe!
  6. What Kills Hybrids is sitting in traffic with AC running. If you have to do that your mileage will be terrible. The only thing that really works now is the smallest lightest car with a small engine and don't push hard on the pedals. The biggest improvement is to drive less than 60 mph. Which I find very hard to do.
  7. what kills springs is driving them to 100 compression. In other words solid stack. Not good for gun and not good for springs. trim your springs so this doesn't happen.
  8. Most everbody has been taking it off the muzzle end. I took some off both ends. Drill the slide through at rear on both sides of the extractor boss. I'll post a pic of what I end up with.
  9. I want two measurements, pressure when closed and pressure when open. Something like drop in tube, with two marks on a plunger, that I can mark it so that it minicks my spring tunnel. I do that now with a fish scale, a recoil rod and cap stuck in a vise.
  10. Brazo wants to sell you a new gun or a slide with holes in it. That's OK, but you can find other people to do what you want. I sent my slide to JPL for the brazo style hole cut.
  11. I took a 5inch tactical bushing barrel top end and lightened it down to 12.2 oz with sights and firingpin extractor included. Guns weighs little over 32 oz no mag. Now I've ordered a 6inch slide, same sights barrel, had JPL brazo hole it for me, plus I'll cut some more on the slide till it weighs the same as the 5inch. So I'll end up with two top ends only difference one inch in sight radius. What will I find different when I shoot them? All opinions appreciated //
  12. There are so many factors that can screwup VOIP. So make sure you get a very definitive SLA [service level agreement]. If they are willing to state a level of voice quality, and a month refund for outages over 2 hours, along with 30 day money back. It will probably be OK. I run a state wide network in florida

    Apr 21, 8:55 PM (ET) NEW YORK (AP) - A hospital did nothing wrong when it tried to examine the rectum of a construction worker who had been hit on the head by a falling wooden beam, a jury found Monday. After deliberating for about an hour, a state Supreme Court jury awarded nothing to Brian Persaud, who sued NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital for unspecified damages. The panel found the hospital and its emergency room medical staff were not liable. Persaud's lawyers, Gerard Marrone and Gary DeFilippo, said he might appeal. "We're very disappointed," Marrone said after the two-week trial. "It's a miscarriage of justice." The hospital's lawyer, Jeffrey Lawton, declined comment. Marrone said Persaud, 38, was injured while working at a construction site in midtown Manhattan on May 20, 2003. Persaud received eight stitches for a cut over his eyebrow at the hospital, but denied emergency room staffers' request to examine his rectum, the lawyer said. He said doctors told Persaud the exam could help determine whether the accident caused spinal damage. When Persaud resisted, staffers held him down while he begged, "Please don't do that," Marrone said. Persaud hit a doctor while flailing around, so the staffers gave him a powerful sedative and performed the rectal exam, he said. Hospital witnesses testified at trial that the exam was never completed, but Marrone said that when Persaud woke up he was handcuffed to a bed and had an oxygen tube down his throat and lubricant in his rectum. "He resisted because he didn't know what they were doing," DeFilippo said. "Once he said he didn't want the rectal exam, everything should have stopped." DeFilippo said he believes the rectal exam was done as retaliation because his panicked client hit the doctor. A judge dismissed a misdemeanor assault charge that was filed against Persaud because he hit the doctor. DeFilippo said his client is unemployed and has been unable to hold a job since the accident
  16. I like big mag well they lay nice on table that way
  17. most back injuries are caused by weak ab muscles, and too much upper body strength. Make sure you follow the rehab routine and keep it up for rest of your life, and don't do things like skydiving. Remember those fused disks will be under alot stress and if you break those pins [happens farily often] it will worse.
  18. take a look in gallery and you can find some ugly guns by leatham and somebody else. A small drill press is all you need to drill holes but it won't look pretty afterwards.
  19. OK I went back and re-read schuemann and Kuhnhausen. Radical precision comment about "Ramped barrels have the capability of both limiting the downward and rearward travel to suit the amount of clearance desired between barrel and slide." Certainly Ramped barrels are much stronger in the lugs than non-ramped barrels. Plus trying for 100% locking lug engagement leads to long links. Long links leads to timing problems. Now the question, with ramped barrels especially the Nowlin style are you free to make some adjustments for barrel slide clearance, and link down timing, by foot trimming?
  20. Another take on it. I think the long dust cover frames, with no fillet cut and bull barrels made the classic 45 a big. Transition was just too slow. Going from a 45 to 40 or 230gr to 180gr with lower power factor means you can lower your moving mass. So the experimenters say lowest to go is about 11oz for a 40. I went to 12 oz on mine with no recoil guide and I love it. So next project is a 6inch that weighs the same as my 5inch. So what do I expect to gain, sight radius that all. I like my 6 inch smith and 6 inch ruger for my old eyes. So I'm hoping to end up with a 32oz 6 inch 40 STI with brazos style holes. and a few other holes.
  21. Me too! I'm just making this up as I go. All the stuff I've read never really dealt with ramped barrels. Plus I get the frames already cut for a ramp. So Benny please!
  22. Tell me what you think of method. I like my barrel to stop it downward motion by ramp foot hitting on the frame cut rather than sides of barrel. Also like the rearward motion to be stopped by ramp dog leg hitting the frame right below the ramp. Sometimes I find the link will be holding some of this stress. Test by locking slide open putting pressure on muzzle towards the breach. If the slide stop slides in and out freely everything is OK. If not I open the bottom of the link up some. That way the only stress on the link is pulling the barrel down. Then during lockup I like the link to carrier the barrel upward and not let the slide stop hit the barrel lugs until about the 5 o'oclock position. This stops what Ed Brown discribed at as a bump fed jams. Which leaves you with a bullet starting up the ramp but stopped short of making it in. All comments welcome
  23. At a school interview with the parents " I don't know nuttin, they don't need to know nuttin".
  24. That ejector is short, if your using a shock buff, then it is really short. So is the problem failure to extract or failure to eject? Try a longer ejector,
