Thats great!!!...I am sitting at my desk at work wearing headphones listening to this and about to fall out of my chair laughing...The guys in the backround laughing was almost as funny as the tape...keep um coming Tinman

[wyntrout]

Yeah, I've heard it before, but it's still hilarious!

I hate telemarketers and politicians. The politicians exempted themselves and charities from the Do Not Call legislation, so they can annoy us all they want... and Call Block won't work with their numbers!

Unmodified, pre-1973 (three screw) Blackhawks could discharge if dropped.
These had no transfer bar and the hammer could rest on a loaded chamber as per the old Colt Single Action Army. These guns are best carried with the hammer resting on an empty chamber.

Indeed sir. Can't modify the Old Army in that fashion. Tho it does, like the Remington 1858, have the notches between chambers that one can use.

I remember when Ruger ran adds in every NRA and gun rag backin the 780;'s to upgrade any blackhawks and witht he transfer bar and would evens end the old parts back when the gun was done so that it cold retain its originality. This cost Ruger back then millions in that recall but they stepped up to the plate and didn't turn their backs on ther responsible thing to do. Many of my customers opted not to send um back though..

Which I also opted not to do. Why "deoptimize" a perfectly good Blackhawk as a sacrifice to the pc ignorant.

Kudos to Ruger for offering to fix the non problem. An everlasting pox on the idiots that "caused" it by not bothering to learn how to responsibly handle a gun.

Grab onto to something and hang on!! I visit the Earthquake site to see what's going on in almost real time around the world. I only look at 4.0 and higher and for the last 2 days. I've never seen it as low as it was 5 minutes ago, relatively speaking, hardly anything anywhere in the world. Usually means the faults are constipated but will break loose soon.

defense it was a very wise thing to do. They paid dearly for that AD/ND on thgeir blackhawk when it happened and with today litigation process, they would probably be broke defending the lawsuits. IMO they did the right thing and what I always felt was ther great thing was that Ruger returned the original parts, so that if u ever wanted to sell it to anyone who desired the old style set up. U now had the best of both worlds. I personaly seen no point of not doing it, as Ruger paid full postage back then and the gun was never modified. responsiblity hasnothig todo with litigation today, if a jiury feels the manufacture should have did something different. the case is lost, especially if some child is sitting there brain dead because of a safety issue in agun that should have been there. It cost Ruger mllions back then but nothing IMO to waht it would have cost them today HAD THEY DID NOTHING....

Incidental Quotation:

I am reading a fiction called the Masada Protocol (spy novel), a surprisingly well written by someone who understands the English language, and came across the follow which I quote:

===============
“All societies are complicit in their own destruction,” Steve continued, his thoughts focusing again on their conversation. “By not demanding that all its members bear the consequences of their actions, a society gets wrapped around self-inflicted guilt for failing to adequately tend to the wants, not just needs, of everyone. The outcome is predictably ineffective and misguided legislation to regulate life. Worse yet is a society’s expectation that such legislation will correct life’s ills and eliminate the risk of living.”

Wow, not bad, not bad at all.
