Thanks again Abilene. I did it differently by going back to the previous page and looking at the membership list. Then clicked on his name and sent a PM. Along with my msg, I included my email. Boy my head is spinning for all this tech stuff!! So now I won't get so anxious for a quick reply. Is there a way other than watching my emails that I will know if/when he replies?

Click on his name, profile comes up and along the left side you see "Send PM"

Eureka!  I think I fixed it.  About 30 seconds with a diamond Jewlers file took off the bur, it could still use a polish with the India stone to remove the last tiny bit of stickiness, but it now cycles fully with cases inserted, just a tiny amount of stickiness left that I will work out with the polishing stone, I'm hesitant to go any farther with the file.

Abilene - thanks for the heads up. I have edited my previous post. I'm new at this, and not very tech savvy, but was hopeful that I might bring out some leads. I'll have to figure out this PM you mentioned. I'm assuming "personal msg" ??

He hasn't been back on here since the above.  That was only 4 days ago, but you might try sending him a PM.  Also, you might want to edit your earlier response and remove your email.  Lots of scammers like snatching emails and phone numbers these days.  You can send him your email or phone in the PM.

I just sent you an email. Please check! 

I hope you haven't changed your mind. I'm still interested. Please advise.

So....did you not know there is NO requirement for head wear of any kind in the Rules and Regulations: approved lists or un-approved lists or anywhere in NCOWS. Just as RCJ has posted period photographs of 'real'period correct people of the day; not everyone has a head cover. My favorite large format reference book of Mathew Brady's photographic works oddly enough rarely exhibits head coverings on everyone photographed. What head-ware I choose is more of a firing line personal safety issue. Nobody likes a screaming ass HOT piece of black powder discharged brass flipping down their shirt collar. Tends to make one dance about in a not so safe prancing with loaded weapons. Although such gyrations are most amusing.

YES!!  The GW II has a bushing OEM in the recoil shield.  And if that bushing has a Burr as shown in the photo's the gun has been seriously abused.  The measurements taken by 9245 are meaningless.

Hi, in looking for something on Amazonion, I found a backpack that was made of Vegan Leather i.e. leather made of mashed up plants more or less.  If you wear the backpack in the rain, I wonder if it sprouts?
