Thxs Umbertino. I remember my request but don't remember you ever responding, I did find it odd as I know you do normally rely to requests. The songs were...

 

1- Snoopy and the Red Baron by the Royal Guardsmen

2- Hot Rod Lincoln by Cody and the Commanders

3- Little Red Riding Hood by Sam and the Sham & the Pharaohs

 

I was nostalgic to my younger years that day.

 

  Thanks Umbertino, can you spin those tunes on your Victrola for me ?

 

  Cheers, pp

Just for you...Enjoy, dear PP

Widespread Impunity Perpetuates Police Violence in Brazilian State

César Muñoz

......The court also prohibited police from conducting raids in poor neighborhoods during the Covid-19 pandemic except for “exceptional cases.”

Police have still launched operations that have killed a record 453 people from January through March of this year.

 

As long as impunity for police abuses remains the norm, the bloodshed will continue

They need to get their fact straight.

If you want a machined lower, you can purchase it but it must be sent to a FFL where you undergo a BG check.

You must follow Federal and State rules.

If you want what is called an 80% lower (needs machining) you can buy online and finish it yourself. 

Most people don't have the necessary tools or skills to finish one. Then you need to buy the rest. By the time your finished buying all the parts you can spend up to a $1000 dollars.
