Wastes. Yes you can.

Morg, make time. I was roughnecking in Oklahoma a few years ago. Our average week was 87.5 hours and up to a hundred and twenty when on a rig move, and Rick and I still found time to go play with his class III toys once a week.

Are you 50 years old? I can't operate 24/7like I usta. I can still carry a pack for 20 miles, kick ass when I have to, out work most 20 yr olds, but I feel it at the end of a day. With commute it's 12 hours - doesn't leave time for much. I need to go clean the house, do laundry, dishes, go shopping today in preparation for work tommorrow. Wish I was married times like this.

tistine is a troll. No matter what you say, he will find a way to ridicule it. I encourage everyone to simply boycott him. Witness the responses I got from him. He's not worth the effort.

That's CRS setting in. (Can't Remember Shit) It gets worse - turns to CRAFT from what I understand. THink I'm on the cusp. I need to make time to go shoot this thing, but it's SO much easier to sit on the couch and drink a couple beers after work...I have a friend here, and ex-PHX cop, who offered to supply ammo and the range fee, so I need to call him. Told him I'd buy lunch. Gotta do this soon. Of course, the SIG will go too, and I'd like to sight in the M1 carbine but not sure what range rules are - we'll see.

So I've only taken my 9mm 1911 to the range a couple times, maybe for a total of about 300 rounds, but it's jamming a lot. At least once per mag it will basically only feed the next round about halfway into the chamber like this:

Does that seem like just a problem of it needing to get worked in a bit?
