  1. There is a little life hack for those things. Now I know it sounds wierd but it works. Get a packing blanket and wrap it up and stick it in the stove in low heat for about a half hour vent side up lol. One out of many reasons to cause the red rings of death is the soddering of the processor comes undone. So what your trying to accomplish with this is to resodder, without cracking the shel of the system open. What can it hurt its broke anyway.


  2. Hey guys I was approached with the opportunity to buy an Italian Carcano in 6.5 Norma. I know nothing about these guns except from what I picked up in a quick google search. The rifle is in fair condition at best, somebody had the stock engraved with a horrible looking water fowl. There is slight rust but no pitting, the bore is in good condition. It comes with 100 rounds of ammo and 1 clip. Really would like some input before I dish out the 200$ this guy is asking for it. Would this make a good project gun, or am I just looking at a money pit?


  3. Ugh! Mods just lock this. To many Internet tuff guys here that just can't seem to have a sensible debate, without throwing in a wise ass jab. We are all suppose to be friends here but some people just want to degrade others with wise comments. Really? So much for a sound community.


  4. This has become a self-fulfilling prophecy..everytime another shooting happens people are gonna freak out and buy whatever they can find...camp out on websites hitting the refresh button 100 times a day ...then we read about how rifles are on two year backorder...ammo is backed up 9 months..reloaders cant find components...this causes dealers to raise prices..which some people are more than willing to buy..all in the name of capitalism..the firearms industry has become the oil industry..prices based purely off speculation(which in this case is driven by fear)

    Agreed 100%


  5. I'm still sticking to my guns on this though. My local shop and other places I CHOOSE to shop at didn't bring their prices up do to the fear buying.

    My local shop that I buy ammo from is still 7.99 a box when they have it. Wonder where he gets it from that he can AFFORD not to charge so much for it? I got the same 5.56 greenies from Palmetto last week for 80$ for 200 rounds. Wonder where they get their ammo from that they can also afford not to charge a 1$ a round? Sorry but when some places still have the prices that existed 3 months ago, and other places are making 300% mark up, it may not be price gouging, however I'm sure there is a term for it.


  6. sorry man. I know you didn't say boycott. Just generally where these post go

     

     

    sent from my Samsung Note 2

    Oh no please don't be sorry. Sorry if for someone who did something wrong. Everyone here is just voicing their concerns or opinion. I don't care if I'm proven wrong or not, we can just all be civil about it is all.


  7. @Hodgie Well let's try and keep this civil. Where in any reports do you see that due to the recent spike in demand for ammo and other elated products that the cost of manufacturing has risen? Lets also make it clear that in no way did I say to boycott. If you want to purchase that's fine with me in no way how you spend your money effects me. If it looks like a duck sounds like a duck and quack like a duck then it's a duck. Keep the forum muscles to your self.


  8. What a sweet HI-POINT!

    So you like Hi-Points HHHHmMmm? (Sarcastic if you can't tell) my buddy worked for a shop in South Philly he said one time a Hi-Point came in with Glock sights super glued to the side. Lolololo lol sent me pics ill post them when I get time lolololo


  9. actually sounds like good marketing to me. Same with gas prices. Jack the hell out of the price to where people are like wow thats a lot. then lower it a little bit to where the consumer is like thats better. the price tag dropped a lot must go buy buy now. you ask me they are some nice guys that work there, but at the same time they are scumbags for the price tags they put on stuff.
