Ah, FN I love your Robert Crumb "Keep on truckin'" avatar. That brings back memories!!!

Ah yes, takes me back to the days of the Chicago Seed and the Berkley Barb.

Those were the days my friend . . .
We thought they would never end . . .
We sing and dance forever . . . . . . . . . . .


The good ole days weren’t always as good as we think!

I remind my children of this ALL the TIME.

I was just back from the war and struggling to run my family. The hippies were just 60 miles South in SF or over at the river in Guerneville, eating steaks and drinking booze with food stamps while I worked my *** off to afford hamburger. I smacked more than one of those asshats just for general principle when they decided to get in my face because I had fought in the war. UC Berkeley was a bad joke and the Black Panthers weren't much better. If you were sitting around getting high all day maybe fun, but for the rest of us a nuisance. Great art and music, Janis Joplin at the Filmore......a buddy of mine used to date Janis...what a rag! What I liked was you could drink and ride in those days...TT riding..tavern to tavern. Life was better without the cops playing a giant game of GOTCHA! They were not at war with the public in those days, we knew them all and were their friends.

Looking at the picture front sight keeper, it looks like the front sight has been tried to rotate. It may be loose on the barrel and maybe rotated back straight up and the keeper restaked.
