The gun in question does not automatically cock the hammer when you open it. Cocking the hammer is a separate operation.

It's all Ithaca, from what I can determine. If I could figure out how to post some pics, I would do so.

There is a definite space between the M and the P.
Back during the last week in October I forgot my cellphone and left it in the car overnight. About noon the next day I realized what I had done, and went out and got it. There were several missed...
I saw a video the other day regarding the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. Although it was common knowledge that the flu was spread by close human contact, the City of Philadelphia held a "Buy War Bonds"...
The only striker-fired pistol I've ever carried is an H&K P7. It is always uncocked until the cocking lever is squeezed. Release the cocking lever, and the gun is uncocked.
I would never carry a...
Ref the port call: The Carrier Group Commander, RADM Stuart (Studa) Baker was on board the TR. No port call could have been made without his authorization.
Also, no port call in any foreign country...
The last time I checked, the 1980s were AFTER 1964, so yes, the 80s are post - 64.
Holy moly. Some of these Trump-hating posts are incredibly stupid.
Without a doubt, if President Trump cured cancer single-handedly, some of you guys would blame him for causing all those medical...
Aw, man. I couldn't watch that. And I thought that those people were supposed to be civilized.
The state legislature in VA voted last month to raise our gas tax by 10 cents per gallon, with additional tax increases to compensate for inflation. Of course, the additional tax monies are supposed...
I hear that Costco will not accept returns on:
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Sanitizing wipes
Lysol
Bottled water
Rice

As long as I have power, I'm okay. We're on a well that is 520 feet deep. I've got about 180 feet of standing water in the well, so the water is about 340 feet below ground level. There's no way in...
That was a Thursday. I was working as a Special Agent with the Virginia Department of Taxation in Falls Church, doing tax fraud investigations involving sales and withholding taxes.
Back in December and early January, most news outlets were referring to the so-called "corona virus" as the "Wuhan Virus". Of course the ChiComs went ballistic and launched a PR campaign to change...
The big Baltimore show is still on for March 21-22. That's less than 2 weeks away, so I don't foresee any cancellation unless the state of MD declares some sort of emergency.
EDIT: I just got...
It's from World War 1, not WWII.
In France during WWI, all Marines were attached to the US 2nd Division, and wore several different variations of the 2nd Division "Indian Head" patch.
I remember reading a short article in the American Rifleman back in the late 1950s about a guy who rechambered a 6.5 Arisaka to 30-06. He took it to a gunsmith, complaining that ever since he...
I think that this patch is from the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines ("the two five" in Marine speak).
Got it at a local auction for $15.
EDIT: I did a little research and found that this patch is...
The club that sponsors the Baltimore show has very strict rules about what they allow in the show. This helps immensely in dealing with the gun grabbers. No pistols made after 1898 are allowed in the...
That doesn't surprise me at all. Trump haters will use any way they can to get out their message of hate and discontent.
Why on earth would you think that I'm trying to fool anybody?
The grip has a piece missing from the lower corner, and I'm trying to repair it.
If and when I decide to sell the gun, I would...
I don't know about welded barrels, but I have heard that all of the Nazi-era proof marks and WaffenAmt stamps have been removed.
That's not a "hex" barrel. A hexagon has 6 sides. Your barrel has 8 sides, so it's an octagon, not a hexagon.
This thread reminds me of a situation I encountered back in the 1970s.
There was a gun store in Falls Church, Virginia called Davis Gun Shop, run by a super-nice guy named Fred Davis. Fred was an...
