I'll be the first to ask.
Was that you or a pic you found?
If so, are you ok other than your shorts?
Apologies, that was just a photo from someone else's mishap. Mine is fine but needs some more sight in.You didn’t…. Bummer.
Please tell me that’s a random photo…

Personally, though Ill admit he was a talented musician, I dont really care for Zappa's work. I did see you post something about him and just saw this...The AAA stands for Analog/Analog/Analog...ie: every step of the recording process was dont analog, no digital. I have a couple of Bernie Grundman efforts and he is one of the old masters.You didn’t…. Bummer.

Zappa may have been scatalogical and, at one level, aimed at my generation’s versions of Beavis and Butthead. And his riffs were somewhat crazy. But he was a genius on a higher plane!Personally, though Ill admit he was a talented musician, I dont really care for Zappa's work. I did see you post something about him and just saw this...
Two Classic Frank Zappa Electric Orchestra Jazz Fusion LPs, Waka/Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo, Are Revived and Rejuvenated Anew Via a Perfect Pair of AAA Grundman-Remastered 180g LPs In my experiences talking with music fans who appreciate some of Frank Zappa's music, there is a certain type of apprehension I've come across, time and again.
I have the new one, and love it. From what I've read its an improvement over the originals but mine could use a bit of trigger work.Man, that's an original Anaconda too...
You can tell by the huge line in the trigger and hammer from the casting process.
In all fairness, I have an original Anaconda myself.
He covered his genius in teenage fart jokes.No arguements with his talent, he just kind of reminds me of Howard Stern...who makes me want to hurl.
The above is sweet though, hadnt heard that one. Ill look deeper.
I had a 686and it was a fine weapon. I still have a 625. Somebody did a nice job on the trigger on this one, as smooth as an old Python.I use to shoot with a buddy that had a Smith & Wesson 686 357 mag with a 6 inch barrel
He was a range officer at an Issaic Walton and we would regularly shoot with just the two of us at the range in the colder months.
We were standing near each other on a covered range, maybe 1 person of distance between us, he was on his 2nd or 3rd reload, when
BOOM!
and I felt something hit me in the side
I look over and he is standing there in shock, his gun exploded, the top strap was embedded in the wooden roof above him, pieces of metal were imbedded in my leather jacket (glad it was cold out and we had heavy jackets on). He had some minor abrasions on his hands.
We were both fine, but DAMN! That was a scare, his gun looked worse than the pics in the OP
Then he says something to the effect, I knew I shouldn't have trusted another persons reloads
Smith & Wesson gave him a new gun.

When spring comes we should do a comparison.I've handled two new ones. Timing and lockup are considerably better on the new models. Trigger is definitely better on the old.
There are a few cosmetic catches on the new one that have kept me from buying one.
In the deep mists of the past I had one too. Thanks for reminding me of the mistakes I’ve made.Man, that's an original Anaconda too...

Listen to this… his magnum opus…
There is much genius here.

Cartoonists of the 1930’s were probably well-familiar with how a gun blew up… because they probably saw it for real as a kid! They knew exactly what they were drawing!I know I'm not suppose to laugh at guns exploding, but I can't help but laugh when I see a rifle barrel explode like that. Looks like a cartoon gun exploding.

Nah… reloading is awesome. Attention to detail. That is all it takes. And why we love it!Glad I post this thread, stopped my reloading aspirations in their tracks.
Every day… right after my morning shave!Now I'm hungry for Saint Alfonzo's pancake breakfast.
