  1. Heck.....it is definite you officially need a Swedish Mauser now! Welcome aboard
  2. Wow Nick, couldn't be said any better. I cannot stand tactitards but am not a fudd. I do not understand the obsession with ARs and the call of duty crowd. I think if people actually had to lug one around a bit, their attitudes would change a little.
  3. Kinda weird they are selling the Greek for the same price as the lc and sl a few weeks past. I am gonna pass for .71 a rd
  4. Well a friend of mine runs a wolf preserve, and I've been there many times.... It was a wolf. I have my camera sitting on the workbench in the garage in case it comes by again.
  5. Bet you that permits for the troopers only takes a few days max.......
  6. Come up to blairstown and see for yourself, they are the talk of the town right now. One was spotted on the Blair academy golf course over the weekend.
  7. We have tons of coyotes in blairstown and yesterday mornin I saw a wolf in the front yard. Thanks bunny hungers for re-introducing them. Talked with a few neighbors and they have seen them too, I thought I was nuts for a minute.
  8. Good luck with your quest for the primary arms of WWII. That's how my colection started, blossomed, and grew exponentially.............. It turns into an addiction.
  9. Nice gun. The 2 near the DD means coastal defense Queensland.

    M1 Garand help

    Soft primers, sear worn, firing pin sticking. Put the trigger group in a friends gun and see what happens.
  11. They are not victims any more they are political pawns with an agenda. Stay in your own state Newtown 9, you are not welcome in my state.
  12. Some deals are just too good to pass up"............
  13. It's history. You cannot deny it, I as a collector say nice examples.
  14. I go very frequently and don't advise doing a trip any time soon and don't organize on the forum. I got a couple of trips going on the forum and got fugged every time. You always get people saying ooh ooh I'll go, then when it comes time to leave they don't answer phones or show up.
  15. It is pretty much a steel cone that has been welded in filling the flash hider completely.
  16. I have slowed down because my tastes are evolving. Last guns how I went to I saw guns that just a year ago I would be doing cartwheels down the aisles for. Now since tastes have changed, the price of what I buy has drastically gone up. So of course it slows down so I can save up for another big score. This year alone, I added an original Berdan Sharps(a hoot to shoot), an original documented 7th cav Little Bighorn Trapdoor Carbine(also a blast to shoot)' and a couple of broomhandles. This on top of the fact that work has been killing me and I haven't been home for months has drastically slowed me down.
  17. henderson defense did the mod for mine. that was years ago, i am not sure if they are still doing them
  18. My range is 12 minutes from my house in warren county and membership is $20.00 a year. Nobody cares what you do or shoot as long as you clean up after yourself. Wanna pack a watermelon full of tannerite, go for it......they go boom!
  19. As someone that lived in Sicily I can say the mafioso is not what you would expect. They are not all like the movie the godfather, they are actually loved by the people. I did see money change hands, but they were often the good guys and more respected than the police. They take care of the community, do much for charity, and help those in need. I have an insight that nobody else can have, but I was a 18yr old kid that was just a drinking buddy.
  20. I have safe queens and get some great and amazing deals. You must know what you are looking at and must realize that modern polymer no matter how much you like it won't go up in value. They will still be injection molding them 20 yrs from now. Look for the classics and do your research and there is no reason you can't consider your collection an investment. Check the local shops regularly, pay attention to forums and you can do well. I have a few guns that are literally 1 of a kind museum pieces and paid less than a few hundred bucks for them. Just search around.
  21. Quarter inch ratchet with an extension no socket is all you need. Thank me later
  22. I am an honorary coonass since I essentially live with the Cajuns at least 6 mos a year. I wonder if they will dilute the boil for Yankee tastes
  23. Yup I am offshore right now but doing a CMP trip when I get home
