  1. Patients who are post rupture of the achilles can expect to get to 85% of the prior strength with rehab. You essentially loose a portion of the muscle and tendon strength.

    I've repaired anything from an avulsion off of the calcaneus, to rupture of the tendon substance itself and complete tears to the muscle. the first and and the latter do the best. The tendon can handle transient loads of up to 13000 lbs, when disease sets in, i.e. tendonosis it will rupture at loads not even 20% of that.

    I have had not one athlete get back to pre rupture athletic levels. But you should be able to shoot, just look at all the fat guys and bad knees out there.

  2. It is not a safety i.e. series 80, it is not a fire control part as those items are.

    If I were to build up a CDP gun on a springer frame would i need to install an ILS, I don't think so.

    How many shooters at last years nationals were shooting with an illegal gun?

  3. when i had trojans, mine ran best with 10mm tripp mags and a length of 1.185" i use a 180 TC lead moly bullet, billy bullet, the SNS lead cast has the same profile. If i ran a round nose, this was also the maximum length, any longer and the bullet interfered with the slide stop.

  4. As a board certified podiatrist who deals with all foot and ankle problems.

    try the cortisone injections first. I do a series of two (two weeks apart) have you wear proper shoes and ice the area, i do a third if i think i need it after a month or two.

    Generally i see an 75% response, out of the hundreds of surgeries i do a year maybe less than 10 are to excise neuromas...

    You can follow others advice if you choose.

  5. The open and limited mags have really hit their theoretical capacity limit. I can't see someone coming up with a new spring and or follower basepad combo that is going to give 23 or more rounds in a 140 mag for .40cal., or 31 to the open mag. Unless someone comes up with a mag without a spring and uses some other device to lift the rounds up.

  6. I never buy tuned mags, i have tried but they weren't any more reliable than what i can do.

    If you can polish and adjust your feedlip dimensions you are good to go. Mag bodies that are out of spec get sent back. All of my 140 mags hold 21, with most at a 21 reloadable. I've never had mag issues at any major match. To each their own.

    Maybe I should send my mags to you?

    Sure 250$ for my time for each mag.. that's my usual hourly rate. Honestly, i just can't see spending the money on tuned mags. Hell, i even bought a mag a couple of years ago at nationals, an sv tube and bolen parts from Derek, J. at millenium. It ran perfectly with no special tuning needed.
