Here I am in all my glory

For those who are interested. I see other frequent posters have done vanity photos and I have made reference to my profession in the past. So yes I am a cop and this is me. Well almost. This photo was taken in December 2002. I'm a little more balder and a little heavier. But I'm also wiser and richer (ha!)

Robert Culp

Hi there.I hope I'm formatting this correctly I've never posted here before. I'm a big fan of Robert Culp and I'm curious about the part about him being a helicopter pilot. I'm part of the I Spy Fan community and most of the folks there are dedicated lifelong fans and no one over there has evey heard of him being a pilot.He never mentioned it in any of his interviews, such as his three hour archive interview. I was wondering where you got your information from? Not arguing, just want to increase our Culp knowledge base. Would dearly love any info you have.Also do you have any furher info on the skeet shooting competitions or guns that he had?.We only have one photo of the skeet shooting, no details about competion. As near as we can tell he owned the S&W from Trackdown and the rifles from Home to Judgement. But would love to know any other info about his collection.There's quite a bit of info available about his training, fast draw etc. from his Trackdown days but not much after. Thanks TVFAN

Hello there TVFAN and welcome. Click on your name. I created a page for you where I have responded to your query. Here on imfdb we respond to each other on our respective pages.Not a big deal. We're just a bunch of anal retentive types. LOL --Jcordell 15:09, 30 May 2011 (CDT)

Alain Delon

It was you who replaced photo on the page of Alain Delon? Why? The photo from Scorpio is not only unclear, movie itself also average, while Le Samouraï is a cult film which has a large impact in the world culture. Even the picture which I posted is iconic itself, depicting Delon staring at the gun cold-blooded. Though I'm absoultely agree with removing picture from Red Sun. --Kloga 17:15, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Stevens 520/620

I didn't think to ask you about it too, even though we had that discussion on the Model 12 page. I asked Nyles because he had uploaded that 520 pic. So I guess we'll do it like the Winchester Model 1200/1300 page and call it Stevens Model 520/620. Then do the redirects for the individual models. We need to find a better 620 pic. The 520 pic is good. If you don't beat me to it, I build the page this evening. Thanks for your help.--Predator20 13:22, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Review position

I tried to submit an example review for the notice on the main page but I was unable to find how to submit my work after I typed into the email box as their was no "Send" icon. As an Administrator I was hoping you could help me with this issue. -Anonymous

Gee thanks! putting the incomplete template on the page right when I'm working on it! LOL! Itchy trigger finger there? ;) MoviePropMaster2008 20:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Got that the first time you told me. -Winn

zombie cross genre?

I don't like how my search for Zombie movies ends up with a list of all Zombie related Video Games or Anime. Any category search would not Cross genres like that. I think we should separate them since the search result was jarring in that a lot of unrelated titles showed up. MoviePropMaster2008 04:59, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

==zombie sub category-- Say you want to look for films by Romero and related (like Zombieland) and you end up with 'left for dead' or 'Zombie Panic Source' etc. etc. which are Videogames. I think there should be a zombie movie category in the movie section and a zombie genre game in the VG section. Or something akin to that. But I have long been an advocate of separating the NON film/tv categories from the rest for a long time. As an armorer, I see no value in trying to figure out what an artist was thinking when they DREW a piece of art. Only in movies and television, was a REAL firearm or mockup used, not something out of some techno-geek's imagination. Also the fact that MOST of the kids are capping Videogames or Anime veers us more away from the 'movie' element :( MoviePropMaster2008 15:46, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Total Recall

I'm not really sure what to think of it. From the way I read it, Goncz is mad because he doesn't want is name associated with Claridge and feels he's being misrepresented. On the Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GA page it explains some of the history. I don't think we're in the wrong.--Predator20 18:37, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Note my comment to the NUTCASE 'inventor' on the Total Recall Page

If he were real he would NOT be talking to a lawyer. Despite being a gun inventor, he sounds like a kid when he writes. In order to be liable, one must inflict some sort of 'damage' whether to reputation, marketing, sales, review, etc. This guy is 2 bottles short of a sixpack based on his comments. I have no problem telling him where to shove it. (his rant was moved to discussion page and my response as well) MoviePropMaster2008 22:11, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Reilly: Ace of Spies

I finally finished up the Reilly: Ace of Spies page with some additional weapons I had noticed, including a Browning Hi-Power and additional instances with Lugers and 1911s. However, I was wondering if you could help to identify the two pistols I had under the "unidentified pistols" section. Also, I noticed you had left spots for a Mannlicher Model 1903 and a Webley & Scott automatic. Do you remember when in the series these were used? I could find them if you'd like, if you know where to look. Thanks. - Speakeasy804 22:27, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

It's very possible I missed them too! I'd have loved to have seen an old Webley auto in action (or even on-screen in anything). I finally finished the mini-series today, I liked to watch it in blocks rather than just one at a time and unfortunately I had been much too busy before that. Fascinating stories, especially in relation to history. You starting the article was one of the reasons I picked it up (as well as my love for espionage-related things) so thanks for the recommendation! I'll keep my eyes peeled for more on future viewings. - Speakeasy804 06:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Axeman and Lost Images

On the Lost page, the user Axeman keeps reverting the screencaps back to originals he put up. Axeman's images weren't cropped and were too dark. I put up a comparison of his images next to mine on the Lost Discussion page. I think mine would be preferable, but I want to get some other opinions. --Ben41 22:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Colt Category????????

Sorry fellow Mod, but why did you create a Colt category? This issue was discussed before on IMFDB (it may have been before you joined), but we thought it made little sense since ALL of the Colt Firearms were bunched together already by virtue of their titles. As you can see, categorizing a gun as COLT does little in that the grouping is no different than just looking at the gun listing by alphabetical order. The purpose of the Categories is to gather completely disparate elements which would be hard to find and group them together. Also I've been putting the kebosh on tons of extraneous Categories that other members have been trying to institute (categories like Slasher, Giallo, Cyberpunk, Main Battle Rifle, SBR, assassination, covert, used by Green Berets, etc. etc. etc.) I think we had better start putting new categories to votes, so that I have some backup when I try to stop those noobs from putting in every conceivable sub-category they can think of. MoviePropMaster2008 02:43, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I was really worried that I had hurt your feelings :) But then you're not one of those folks who flies off the handle. in fact you're WAY more tolerant (and less sarcastic) than I am! LOL. Hope you see my reasoning for, at least, trying to limit newer members from creating a torrent of new subcategories :) Thanks and best regards MPM2008

JCordell

People who hate you? Can't see that. Can't even imagine that. I think everyone on IMFDB thinks of you as one big TEDDYBEAR. Now ME on the other hand is a ranting lunatic sometimes, usually when I'm yelling at some stupid 'extra' who is dry firing or worse, disassembling a firearm without my knowledge or permission. hahahaha. MoviePropMaster2008 03:00, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

- I think MPM said it - I don't know you that well, but I can tell from the way you type around here that you're a pretty cool guy - Hell you're probably the damn Ned Flanders of this site. But, being a cop, I can understand where some of the animosity comes from, I sometimes don't think highly of law enforcement personally but I always give respect to those who deserve it. And that certainly includes you, as again, you seem like a pretty alright guy. Hell, anyone that likes Smith revolvers can't be all bad to me. Anyway, real life is one thing, but I doubt people hate you here on the site, unless they're jerks. Now MPM I could understand.. Bah! :b StanTheMan 16:41, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm watching you Stan the man!!!!!! MoviePropMaster2008

- My dad would like you, he swears by Smiths. He religiously owned and shot a 4-inch Model 29 for quite a while. He advised me to go for the 6 1/2 when I buy one myself, saying my hands would thank me for it if I ever shot it real seriously. As for your story, that sounded like quite a fun ordeal - Yow. Yeah, I know cops have to be hardass at times, goes with the territory. But I dislike lawmen that feel they're entitled to be dicks because of the badge and would lean more to giving folks a hard time rather than serving and protecting. Sounds like you've met some of them, and hey, the fact that you know the difference confirms to me that you're pretty alright. Anyway, that's cool, and quite a story. You know, I myself have noticed it's really the scrawny ones you should watch out for, heh. And that's a good point, I know even cops can be scared - even with the training and the weapons you're still human, same as the rest of us. But again, glad to know you get what I was aiming at. I appreciate the insight. Quite enlightening. StanTheMan 17:26, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Boxcar Bertha

This is labeled as an Ithaca 37 on the Boxcar Bertha page, but the forend doesn't go all the way to mag tube cap or were older Ithaca's like that? It looks to be bottom ejecting like the Ithaca, unless it's a left handed pump. What do you think it is?--Predator20 22:57, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Well the one guy beat you to it on building the page. --Predator20 20:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

CC revolver choices

I just got my concealed carry license (came in today, only waited two weeks) :). I was thinking about purchasing a S&W Model 638, which is the stainless steel, alloy frame bodyguard 38spec +p. But your comments on the Model 36 take page got me thinking. Would it be better to suffer the added weight of a Ruger SP101 or Colt DS or even a steel frame S&W? While the airweight might be easier to carry. But shooting on the other hand, which is what really counts I feel, will be a lot harder to do. I was maybe going to try to pocket carry (with a pocket holster) or go IWB. Going OWB on a snub would probably work but I'm worried about printing. Also what about exposed hammers vs bobbed hammers or shrouded hammers. Is snagging really a big issue or is something that can be overcome with enough practice?--Predator20 20:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I knew you would be a big help. I'm going to look into the steel frame S&W's more, I may just go with the SP101 with the bobbed hammer. I didn't really think of Taurus. My dad has a PT1911, its been a good gun. But like you say Taurus is hit or miss most of the time. I get what you mean about Colt. --Predator20 00:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah I forgot about Charter Arms too. I'll probably just stick to getting a S&W or Ruger. Our local gun shop has a SP101, but it has a 3" barrel. They also have some Model 442's I think. I don't think they have any steel frame S&W snubs. I've been thinking about a picking a LCP, but with a .380 I feel like that's a back-up gun, not a primary gun. But anything is better than nothing. No problem putting the message on my user page. Also what are your thoughts on a Model 19 or 66 snub carrying IWB, too much width with the cylinder? Or is it better to stick to a J-frame starting out? I really appreciate your help. --Predator20 17:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Ended up buying a Model 642 they had at the gun shop. It's black with stainless barrel and cylinder, which I don't really care for. Would rather have had all black. I really don't plan on doing a lot of shooting with it. At least now I have more than one revolver. The price they had listed was comparable to Bud's Gun Shop. Also came with a $50 rebate. Anyway thanks for all your help. --Predator20 15:31, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I have some snap caps in .357 but they just won't fit :). I'm going to order some caps, along with a pocket holster, and some speed strips, maybe even a speedloader or two. But because of the overall size of the gun, speedloaders don't look like they will work too fast. The grips on the gun are okay, but no room for my pinkie. So I may look from some different ones. I would still like to maybe get a SP101 in the future. --Predator20 20:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit mine is actually a Model 442.--Predator20 20:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

More revolver talk

I read up on you and Pred's convos and found them very informative. I always had a bit of liking for the Ruger SP101, despite my own immense attraction to Smiths. That said I'll ask if you've had any serious experience with a 640 Centennial? I only ask because that was one I would seriously consider getting right away. I have looked at some other .38 only revolvers like the Bodyguard series and such but I wanted the 640 for common caliber with the other Smiths, (As you can see, a vast majority of my 'wishlist' wheelguns are .357s) and if I'm not mistaken, you can shoot lower .38s in a .357 anyway. :b Anyway, that all said, figured I'd ask you on that more specific gun (If you had any exposure to it, that is). I had a couple of general questions but you've already answered them with Pred's comments and some of your past postings so I won't be redundant. Thanks for the help. StanTheMan 01:50, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Whoa, looks like a few people have bombarded you with revolver stuff lately, heh. Anyway, I appreciate your input. As for weight, I agree - as you said, it's a only few ounces and I never considered that to have too much an impact. Besides I do intend to have something that is pretty hard-wearing (which the all steel guns have proven good at for quite some time now), and I was considering belt carry rather than ankle anyway. But, there may come a time/case where I have to use ankle carry and again, I like being versatile. As you said larger 6-shot guns can be a little problematic there. And I guess I'm also like you in the sense that all the newer polymer and aluminum guns don't really blow my skirt up either; I myself am pretty old fashioned when it comes to firearms - growing up with a mechanic/repairman/technician for a dad, you learn that plastic and aluminum are good for some things but not everything and are often overrated. :b Not to chub down polymer or alum guns, many of them seem pretty good, some of them I actually have interest in. But, I am definitely one of those 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' guys. I know they make the bigger Smiths in snub versions but I've always considered them just a bit too big to carry practically speaking. I really like the look of the snubs for the 19/66 and 686, and even 629, but I don't think I could be conformable carrying any of those on the real (Especially the latter, lol). But yeah, thanks for the input for a potential 'oh god' (or as I would say, 'oh SHIT!') gun. ;)

PS - I also saw that 'controversial' section in MPM's talk page (he always has a way of making me feel less conscious about the size of my own personal pages, hah!), and though I didn't actually read it I figured the gist of it was that the antis had discovered us. But that's cool, I think it actually means we're fairly famous and makes us legit, if that makes sense. Bah! StanTheMan 16:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Down here in Georgia I know about warm summers plenty so that's a good thought. Again, that's why I like being versatile when it comes to those kinda things. It's kinda funny, I thought some guns (most of them semiauto pistols) looked neat and awesome when I was younger but I soon came to find out that those neat guns are mostly 'weeaboos' (Especially stuff like the Desert Eagle and all that, yeesh) - So, I've kinda grown out of that. They are still neat to look at though. But I like to think I'm a practical guy (at least when it comes to serious stuff like this) and I've always found revolvers to be perfectly adequate. I'm not against semiautos either, but I may as well be, especially considering that the guys my age I know are all about them and I'm kinda.. not, heh. Like I said, I'm kinda old-fashioned. Funny enough, the guns I had most exposure to were semiautos - That said, I always wanted to get a SIG P220, now I'm determined to have one, especially since I got the chance to try it out. I shot that boy and it felt real nice, I also helped disassemble it, and everything just looks first-rate in there. It's a good one. But for general carry, especially concealed, I've found a revolver to be it, especially for beginners like myself.

And fun, yes.. heh! :) I imagine the badge helps at times, too. Sounds good to me. Thanks again. StanTheMan 17:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

S&W 27 vs 19

I watched a film recently and the main cop in the film uses a Smith & Wesson revolver that is definitely either a Model 19 or a Model 27. While the film has very low key lighting throughout making identification difficult, that doesn't really matter considering I cant really tell the difference between the two under almost any circumstances. I compared the images of the two we have on the site but could not see what specific features I could use to differentiate them. Normally when I see one of these weapons something tells me which one it is, and that something is generally right, I can't consciously make a distinction between the two. And since film has, as previously mentioned, a dark tint and low key, shadow filled, lighting, I really can't trust my unconscious identification system. I was hoping you could give me some tips on how to tell these two weapons apart, both because you are very knowledgeable about revolvers and, as the Payback article can attest to, you really know how to distinguish Smith & Wesson revolvers from each other. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated and, as can be seen by the back-and-forth between myself and MPM on the Chicago article discussion page, detecting minute differences in revolvers is something I have difficulty with in general so if you could try to explain how to spot these differences as simply as possible it would be a big help. Thanks in advance. -Anonymous

PS. I was reading something on MPM's talk page and saw a comment you posted about IMFDB becoming controversial or something. Are anti-gun people attacking us, or did we commit some copyright infringement or something? I can't see any reason why we would be controversial or frankly even on the radar enough for someone to have a bone to pick with us.

S&W Response

Thanks for the help. I always noticed the model 27 was beefier than the model 19 but couldn't place my finger on what about it made it look that way, frame size, ejector shroud thickness, grip size. The tip about the barrel tapper and the cylinder gap will be very useful as they tend to be visible even when the actor's position obscures some other parts of the frame. Why the Anti-gun jerks out there are picking a fight with us I can't understand, however things like this are what should encourage us to make the site as reputable as possible to give them less to pick at. -Anonymous

Hope you relieve the boredom! ;) LOL hahahaha

I'm super busy, but I get these patches of hours where I have nothing to do. Don't know if you've noticed but I've been photographing a bunch of weapons that are closer to configurations in certain movies. I got the Mossberg 500 from Raw Deal and the short SPAS-12 from Snatch.. I'll be getting the exact Savage 99 from Dawn of the Dead (1978) soon. But I'm struggling to get a Remington Model 11 Whipit gun (short shotgun). I have one, but the buttstock that was used before being sawn down was weird. I think it was either from another gun or it was a higher end sporting buttstock for the Remington Model 11. I didn't want to use it because of the weird buttstock. I've been trying to find the correct buttstock, buy it, and then saw it down and put it on the gun for the photo. That's my curse. I run into all these hard to find variants ... and there's always SOMETHING wrong with them that makes it not be identical to what was used in the movie .....MoviePropMaster2008 18:20, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

The Stand actors

First, thanks for adding the poster shots for the films. I'll try to remember to do that in the future.

Second, I noticed that when you changed all the PNG shots from The Stand to JPG's, the corresponding actor pages weren't changed to reflect this. So, a few of the actor pages such as for Richard Lineback don't have a screenshot anymore on them. I tried changing some, but I don't know if I got all of them. You might want to check them out to make sure. Thanks. --Ben41 22:37, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: Stevens 67

Well, thanks, except all I did was add an entry. I have a feeling you meant to message MPM really, as he was the one who enhanced the article and got the new photo. But thanks anyway I guess or.. something. BTW, about your experience in Georgia, that WAS one of the good things. Hah! StanTheMan 02:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it's been in a few film so it deserves its own page. Thanks for adding the history. About all I could find that it was made by High Standard. Shame you can't walk into a Sears now and buy a gun. My dad has a H&R single shot 12 gauge Topper that he bought from K-Mart back in 80s can't do that anymore. I surprised Wal-Mart still sells guns. --Predator20 17:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

WTF?

Please don't change my page like you did. The poster goes at the top of the page to the farthest most right. I've noticed people doing their own formatting styles, but don't change my style since I am doing it like the pages were when the site first started. I don't like having the summary ABOVE the poster. I know that PhoenixEnt created his own movie page template and his pages have their own look, so I never touched his page format out of respect. I don't want people changing MY page format, which is the way the pages were from the inception of IMFDB. THanks. MoviePropMaster2008

Sorry if I seemed like I was ranting. :) I didn't mean to sound harsh. It was just bad timing in that several pages that I formatted were changed to this other format in rapid order by different members. I just hope someone can come up with a format template that puts the poster to the upper right corner of the page. :D Thanks for the note! :D MoviePropMaster2008

Rather than move the page and then moved it back. Another way is to start a new page with "The" in the title first and have #REDIRECT [[Whatever film title, The]] in the summary.--Predator20 01:58, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Smith & Wesson Models

I noticed that you started moving the Smith & Wesson automatics names to models (such as Smith & Wesson 645 to Model 645). I believe that the original intent was to differentiate revolvers from automatics. The intent was that revolvers would get "Model" before the number and S&W Automatics would not. You might want to check with MPM before you continue on. I don't want you to do all that work and then have to change it back. --Ben41 18:05, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Uh, that's exactly the reason IMFDB originally did it. We only designate REVOLVERS as MODEL, not semiautos or other weapons by S&W. Despite the official name being 'model whatever' we segregated the name since S&W has so many similar sounding numbers. Seriously, if it were an ERROR, one of us MODS would have changed it LONG ago. Sorry, you will have to change it back. MoviePropMaster2008 19:50, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

I like older gun magazines. I bought a Mini-14 because of a '74 Gun World article when the Mini was first introduced. While not as old I bought a lot of GUNS magazines dated around '92 thru '94. There was an article on the new .40 S&W Browning Hi-Power, had an article on the classic HP too. Now I have 3 Hi-Powers. I've though about subscribing to Gun Digest. --Predator20 01:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

IMHO, the JC Higgins model 20 is NOT a field grade version of the High Standard shotgun. though they may have shared manufacturers, I have both shotguns now and there are too many minor design elements that are completely different to make the statement :) MoviePropMaster2008

I've had the same problem with certain edits too, just not as often. It seems to come and go at random.--PistolJunkie 01:02, 14 March 2011 (MSK)

If you're still having problems getting your edits to take, I think I've found a quick fix. About half the time I make an edit without previewing they don't take, but they work every time so long as I use the "Show preview" feature before saving.--PistolJunkie 18:59, 16 March 2011 (CDT)

Lee Enfield caption.

First: I don't know of anyone appointing you LordGod of this site. I don't take kindly to people giving me orders. So knock it off. I changed the caption on the Lee-Enfield page because it was wrong--which is confirmed by the photographer (MoviePropMaster2008 9 -- see article Talk page). If you object to an edit I've made you can certainly do so politely and without the ridiculous attitude.

I CAN prove that I'm right. The information comes from an illustrated book about small arms. As the photo is copyrighted I can hardly simply post it. Therefore, I'll place a source note. Combined with MovePropMaster2008's post should settle the issue once and for all.

Remember: this stuff hardly matters on any existential level at all.

For the record Checkman, I don't know what this guy is talking about. I was the photographer of my gun and I know it's not a Mk II so I'm confused. For the record, I am not a historical buff on this rifle so I defer to guys who study about it, but I know what I have and what I've photographed ;) MoviePropMaster2008 17:16, 29 April 2011 (CDT)

2011 Topic: Type 69: RPG or no RPG?

Recently, there has been some controversy about whether a Type 69 launcher should be indicated as an RPG or not. I've started a topic in the forums about this and also here to see if we can get to a consensus about this. Moderators, please respond in the "Type 69" Rocket Launcher thread. For further information about this, you can take a look at the User Talk: BurtReynoldsMoustache page and the User Talk:Evil Tim page. --Ben41 01:23, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

Rough Riders Mausers

I was just wondering. Where did you get the info that the only Mausers used by the Spanish were Chilean Mausers? the only reason why I ask was because a bunch of my friends were Spanish soldiers in the film and they all carried real 1893 Spanish Mausers. Could have been just that one bunch of guys and I am going off second hand info, but I was just curious where the info that the only Mausers were Chilean ones (which look really identical save for the crest stamp). Thanks! :) MoviePropMaster2008 17:10, 29 April 2011 (CDT) P.S. While only a visitor to the set, I've been trying to find my snapshots of the behind the scenes of that movie. I have some really good ones but I can't find them! Doh! MoviePropMaster2008 17:10, 29 April 2011 (CDT)

JUST A REMINDER, not to forget this query! ;) LOL I ask again, where did the info come from that ONLY Chilean Mausers were used in the film? :) Thanks :D MoviePropMaster2008 19:07, 29 April 2011 (CDT)

Protecting pages

I though Bunni stated that he did a global protection of all pages. He stated that anonymous users can no longer edit pages. But I see you're protecting pages. Are there some he missed? :) Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 20:53, 11 May 2011 (CDT) I only ask because I my self have not c hecked.

Rooster Cogburn

Please go ahead and replace my screenshots as mine are terrible. Unfortunately, there's no Blu-ray yet of this film. I was going to do The Horse Soldiers soon, you weren't planning on that one? --Ben41 22:07, 27 June 2011 (CDT)

Spammer

Might be getting buried in the recent changes since a lot of people are on ATM, but User:Mikehooper is a spambot who created a page called Pay day loan that's just an example link. I guess he isn't a very good spambot. Evil Tim 12:54, 7 July 2011 (CDT)

Thanks. Don't forget to ban User:Mikehooper as well, though. :D Evil Tim 22:25, 7 July 2011 (CDT)

Westerns

Yeah, just a few. Were you still planning on redoing the images for Rooster? Any Westerns you wanted to do pages for? --Ben41 01:34, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid? It's done. Planning on doing the rest of Peckinpah pretty soon. --Ben41 13:30, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

Guy from last night is back

User:Jd0555. Yup, same name, one number higher. Currently trying to pretend it isn't him, even though he signed his name the same way on MPM's page (putting his username after the four dashes, see the Dark of the Moon talk page for him doing it repeatedly). Evil Tim 11:48, 14 July 2011 (CDT)

The S&W pages

I stated this in my edit on the Model 27 talk page but you make a good point about the 3.5 gun so indeed keep it on the main page. I went ahead and took it off the talk page (I don't like the pictures being redundant between main and talk pages). Otherwise, i was just trying to do some cleanup/reorganization. Hope that's ok. I've done some tinkering with the Model 29 page - I hope it looks alright. StanTheMan 18:48, 14 July 2011 (CDT)

Oh, how could I forget a fellow Smith fan like you? But I indeed didn't know about that particular S&W wheelgun. I can see why it's special - I actually kinda like it myself - it's like a beautiful oversized snub, heh. Still, thats cool to know, and glad you pointed it out to me. Otherwise, hope everything else is good. And BTW - about your Georgia experience - heat, humidity, insects, pine trees and smelly clothes - those were the sweet spots, hah!

Censoring issue with a member

Yodawg

This guy has done random censors (by using asterisks in the word) on a few pages now and frankly, I've become annoyed. User Evil Tim and myself talked to Ben41 about it but he did it again and I'm now wondering if's he purposely doing it solely to annoy users like myself. The rules state to keep swears to a minimum, not to censor them, and also it relates to user comments and article descriptions, not movie quotes. I could be incorrect but that's simply how I interpret it. I've left him a message on his talk page and Ben's but I wanted to bring this to the attention of other Admins as well, because I'm seriously starting to consider it a problem.

Got some more info on the J.C. Higgins shotguns

Okie dokey. Been digging into the history of the Higgins. But information is sketchy and I don't know how accurate internet info is. We both know it was a SEARS ROEBUCK branded shotgun built by either Savage, Stevens, Marlin, High Standard or Winchester. (I think the lion's share was built by High Standard or Savage). J.C. Higgins was a long time Sears employee who died and thus was memorialized with the shotgun line. However, (I think) around the mid 1960s, Sears started changing the branding of their store firearms to TED WILLIAMS, thinking that Higgins sounded too '19th century'. The J.C. Higgins Model 20 was replaced by the Ted Williams Model 200 by the late 1960s. I've found Model 21s marked J.C. Higgins, but despite having the similar front end and mag tube of the Ted Williams Model 21, I discovered that the receiver, trigger guard and safety are identical to the Model 20. I've seen a gun manual for the J.C. Higgins marked MOdel 21 from 1961 but apparently at that time, it was only available in .410 and .20 ga. Weird....

So here (I think is the scoop:

J.C. Higgins Model 21 (Higher end Model 20, shares same receiver, trigger guard and safety as Model 20) but has a plain wooden foregrip and buttstock and a plain long field (26") barrel with a plain end.

J.C. Higgins Model 21 Deluxe: This has the different Receiver, trigger guard and safety (same as the Ted Williams) and has a moderate amount of 'checkering' on the forearm and buttstock and has a raised RIBBED 26" field barrel with an adjustable choke at the end.

Ted Williams Model 21 Deluxe: This has the Ted Williams style receiver, trigger guard and safety, and has a higher end of Checkering on both forearm and buttstock, 26" RIBBED field barrel with adjustable choke at the end. (Most of the Model 21s seen on IMFDB are THIS model but cut down).

So should we change the page to Sears Roebuck Model 20? Just a thought. I still need to do a little more research. MoviePropMaster2008 01:21, 21 July 2011 (CDT)

Laughing Policeman

I'll see what I can do. --Ben41 16:28, 29 July 2011 (CDT)

I put up the screenshots. I believe that the Grease Gun appears to actually be a S&W M76 due to the folding stock and general size of the SMG in the film. Also I believe that the SMG seen in the foreign poster is a Star Model Z45. --Ben41 02:35, 30 July 2011 (CDT)

Do me a favor

I need your help in an experiment. Go to the Heckler & Koch MP5 page. Scroll down. Go to the first MP5 Pic you see. It should be an MP5A2 (slim handguard, full stock) which was a pic of my MP5. Click on the picture itself to go to the image page. Does the image suddenly get brighter and the IMFDB logo suddenly appears in the lower right hand corner? Now click on the image again to blow it up to full size. What do you see? Do you see an image of a completely different MP5? I am asking several people to do this to check what their experiences are.

It's something BUNNI needs to fix

I have no control over the fact that the image loading is all screwed up. I just need verification that it is BEFORE I go complaining to our dark lord overseer about it. :D Do you do the steps I described. And what did you see? Did it make sense? or were you sent to a completely different (and wrong) image? 14:05, 29 August 2011 (CDT)
