    Jerry Bridges

    in Last Shot Fired

    Posted

    My good friend Jerry Bridges (74) passed away on Monday, August 10, 2020 from the ravages of cancer. He was a Master class Open shooter in Albuquerque. We spent many Saturdays fabbing stage props on my driveway for our local club, Rio Grande Practical Shooters. We both served on the BoD for many years.

    Jerry never failed to put together stages for our club, they were never impossible stages but were challenging with a hook hidden in there somewhere which would trip you up if your didn't pay attention. His stages were one of the main reasons the annual High Desert Classic in Albuquerque brought shooters from all over the southwest.

    We traveled to many matches around the southwest and never failed to have a roaring good time.

    God speed my friend, your suffering is over, you are now in the arms of your Savior.

    Hiperfire 24C locked up

    I had what sounds like the same problem with a lower that I installed a 24C in years back. The disconnector would not release the hammer due to the trigger pin hole spacing in the lower being out of spec. Solved the problem by taking several thousandths of an inch off the mating surface of the disconnector on my surface grinder.

    Using gauge pins and measuring the hole spacing revealed my problem. The trigger has worked like a champ ever since.

    PCC AR 9mm barrel makers?

    Hello: I was so excited to get the project going I forgot to weight it before. After I was done it weights 23.7152ozs which is lighter than a 16" JP barrel but heavier than a 16" KAW Valley barrel. I will shoot it this week to see how it does. Thanks, Eric

    If anybody is still interested, my 16" Wilson Arms barrel weighs in at 25.6 ounces on my postal scale.

    I'm not sure if it's worth the time to set this barrel up in my lathe to shave 2 ounces off of it.

    Jane,

    Yeah, I've seen this but it is a PIA to have to check it off every time I log in. I do realize that the site belongs to Brian and I have to play by his rules if I want to use but after many, many years of the site being comfortable to use something like this is irritating. I'll probably use the site less. Brian's rules, my choice.

    Thanks,

    Pat
