Jim Clark Sr. custom build. [Back when they were welded up and fitted by hand, easily just as tight as my Les Baer.] Attached File |
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

So, it went to a good home with a buddy (same guy who has ACW 990) in East TN. |

I took it, dropped the loaded mag, held the grip safety down [easily adjusted if the spring finger is loose and not contacting the safety] and shook the hell out of it. Silence................. |
