1911 Boomer Terminology- Say What?

[@therealnickmorrow]

I had a gaggle of new ones on a call yesterday. A gunsmith called asked for a "Key" to remove the "Barrel Nut" on a customers gun. You guessed it, he wanted the bushing wrench to remove the bushing. Then I asked if he could see a hole in the guide rod to insert a paper clip for an alternate takedown method, and he stated that the barrel rod (guide rod) was getting hung up on inside the spring cover (either the recoil spring plug or the dust cover... I was not able to figure it out). SO I said he can send the gun back to us for service if he wants.

Kinda scary I knew most of these. Also am very glad Mr. Schauland knows how to pronounce “Porsche”. :)

[@alchemy1911]

Sorry, that's how we say it in Appalachia...

Another good one, keep em coming.

Stove pipe describes the malfunction in ejections that leaves the spent round stuck sticking up out of ejection port of the slide. Looks like a stove pipe, I’m only from the 80’s & had minimal guidance on my firearm adventure. I’m not sure it counts as a jam but it’ll describe the issue better, mine has done it a few times & it’s usually the ammo. My wheel gun doesn’t do this!!!

Boomers are one of my favorite generations. I love them. My parents are boomers. I loved the greatest generation as well! Both generations are a determined, hard working, patriotic people.

We will! Not everything has to be a sales pitch, we just like to have fun!

0:30 Eli’s mustache reminds me of a person you’d meet at a pool party in the early 80s who introduced himself as “Roy “ Also damn son your 24 years old. I can’t tell what age is what anymore. Everyone trying to grow up really fast.

Excuse me gentlemen, it's a "booger hook," not "booger flicker."

[@Theunion802]

I'd say "trigger block" refers to a series 70, or 80 firing pin stop.

LOL So If I want a ring hammer installed do you send out sizing rings for different fingers? I mean I've heard fingers on the dominant hand might be bigger than the other.. Great Vid.

Barrel Nut=Bushing. Spring button= recoil spring plug. Half notch is a safety, Uh, nope not exactly. LOL! KnifeMaker

24yrs old. I didn’t think you were THAT young. Damn. Lol. Hey Rob, what kind of watch are you wearing? What’s your favorite watch?

[@alchemy1911]

Yep, 24 y/o! Carrying a gun designed in 1911 and driving a car from 1963.

[@RobSchauland]

Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. I don’t really have a favorite. Maybe the Omega Flightmaster from the 70’s…if I had to pick a favorite.

I always considered the backstrap to be the grip safety and the MSH. All the way down the back of the pistol. That's the backstrap. Gas Pedal is a separate aftermarket device used as a thumb rest for your left (Off hand) thumb, usually mounted to the dust cover on the frame. Should have been called a "Dead Pedal".

[@RustyJoe]

And clip is not a “just doesn’t know”’issue. Back in the day everyone on both sides of the counter, in the industry and veterans referred to detachable mags as clips. The insistence on the “proper term” is an insecure “I want to feel like one of the initiated” thing sonny 😉

[@alchemy1911]

If you refer to a detachable magazine as a clip, you're wrong.

[@RustyJoe]

@@alchemy1911 well I’m also old enough to know you are wrong 😉 all the folks I learned about guns from back in the day were ww1, ww2 Korean and Vietnam veterans and all used the term clip. So all the nonsense we hear today is just that. Revisionist history

[@RustyJoe]

@@therealnickmorrow 😂 you forgot “ok Boomer” Thank goodness most of the Greatest Generation aren’t here to listen to wet behind the ears whelps tell them they are wrong 😏

[@therealnickmorrow]

@@RustyJoe well if you really want to know why I say bless your heart…the M1 DID use a clip and not a detachable magazine. That’s why it was referred to as such. The m14 had detachable magazines but GIs we also issued stripper clips to reload the mags for weight and space saving, even through Vietnam guys were issued 20 round mags AND rounds on stripper clips to reload the mags. The terms aren’t interchangeable…. Clips and mags are 2 different things. I wouldn’t want to ask a guy for a clip when I really needed a magazine ….. 10 rounds on a clip does you no good without a mag

[@CA.0verview]

1:42 damn Eli isn’t old enough to have not watching unfortunate event go down on 9/11 . But I’m sure he can watch Ukrainian footage of what’s happening now.

Can't blame all of these on boomers. LOTS of millennials, X'ers, Z's. Gun ignorance is hardly limited to a specific generation.
