  1. This gun, like all guns, is VERY dangerous. I will take it off of your hands for only $50 US dollars and make sure that it is properly destroyed. Don't wait. Act now before you get hurt!
  2. I think your father-in-law should slap you in the dome and give the rifle to me.
  3. You REALLY were just kidding with this...right?
  4. Sorry, but I got a call for work tomorrow. Sucks to be me. Tosser, I will call you next week about an upcoming oppurtunity. Dave
  5. Just FYI, anytime you zero a scope, you want your zero to be set at 100 yards. 25 and 300 are ballistic eqauls for .556. So setting zero at 25 will cause you to hit everything high out to 150 (which will be the +- apex of bullet crest) and dead on at 300. Without going into all of the ballistics involved, 100 will give you a good benchmark to work from. There is tons of info on this out there. Google-fu is your friend.
  6. I should be there again. Last time out a NUMBER of people expressed an interest in firing my Garand. I will be bringing it this time, so if you want to shoot it you are more than welcome to. Unfortunately, while I love to share, FMJ 30-06 is well over a buck a pop, making one en-bloc clip worth about 10 bucks. So let me know if you want to shoot it, I will pick up the ammo, you can pay me when you pull the trigger. I owe Tosser, so he shoots free.
  7. Absolutely. As I said, you can find plenty of case history on the net. Do some research. Some mods (such as night sights) are going to be easier to defend than others. But rest assured, you will have to defend your reasoning. Especially if the person you shot, or their family in the case of a fatality, sues for damages.
  8. Finally a topic I think I can contribute to... Do not modify your trigger. There are several reasons for this, most especially in a carry weapon. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in a shoot situation defending yourself, your gun WILL be confiscated and inspected. You will be asked during your statement if the weapon was modified. You will have to justify any modifications you made. This can be very tough to do in court. You will have to prove that you know more about weapon design than the engineers at Glock. Not likely... Further, do you really think for one portion of a second that +- 2lbs of trigger pull is going to make a difference in a gunfight? Do you honestly think you will remember pulling the trigger? Or even how many shots you fired? If you think you will, you are kidding yourself. Do some case study history on police shooting. Read the statements from cops who shot their pistol to slide lock, reloaded, fired again...then in sworn testimony stated they fired 4 or 5 shots total. Things get dim and memory fades in situations that require deadly force. Believe me...I know. If you feel that the trigger pull on a stock Glock is too hard to pull to get consistant accurate shots...you need to train. And I am not talking about going to the square range and popping off a few rounds at paper. I am talking about real world training. Force on force with sims or airsoft works best. It will show you how truly dicked up you are in a big hurry. I carry a gun for a living...a lot. When I reach for a weapon to carry to protect my own life or the life of my clients, I reach for a Glock. They work. Period. And I have a safe full to choose from. Back in my hole...
  9. Greetings all. My name is Dave and you can blame Tosser for bringing me here. Former military, I have been working as a security contractor for a number of years. Now back on the civilian EP circuit. I am interested in all types of shooting sports. Hope to be able to make a contribution to your forums. Thanks.
