  1. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I used electrical tape to "bush" up the bolts I used to attach the pillars to the action when I bedded them (and when I bedded the action) to make sure that the action screws would be centered in the pillar holes....the action screws will be perfectly centered in the pillar holes and well away from contacting the pillars when assembled.

     

    Also...I'm 90% on my way to reloading my own loads. I bought the RCBS Rock Chucker kit and have 2 lbs of powder and 1000 primers. All I have left to get are the dies and projectiles.

     

    Any suggestions on a good bullet for the 7mm-08? 130-150 grain range....


  2. Are you absolutely sure it was full auto and not just someone quick on the trigger?

     

    I must admit...if it were someone I knew and it was outdoors at an open range, I wouldn't GAF....but a stranger at an indoor range showing off, I'd likely be a bit concerned as well.


  3. I know this is old, but I'm almost finished....I have only the bottom metal left to do.

     

    It came out pretty well, considering this was my first attempt. There were some air bubbles in the area under the chamber, but that was to be expected because the bedding compound is over 1/2" thick there. Also, I got a little overzealous with the Dremel tool when cleaning up the edges. When I bed the bottom metal, I'll try to fill in the voids along the top of the stock I made.

  4. Why is this even a thread? Why the big deal? Click the dam button and leave. If your really worried about admitting you ARE a citizen we have bigger problems.

     

    what exactly are you giving up by anonymously answering a question about citizenship... look I get it.. the question is stupid.. especially for a plastic box.. or a sling.. what happened is obvious.... someone in an office somewhere made the decision that the question had to be asked for any "firearms goods" so now it just pops up for everything... if you are really that furious about it.. call corporate .. if you are still completely disgusted that they insist on asking if you are a citizen of the US.. if that makes you over the top angry.. then shop somewhere else.. the people at the store level.. even the manager.. are just trying to earn a living... and they did not invent the ridiculous policies you are annoyed with..... I just never understood taking it out on people at the lowest level... these people have nothing to do with making OR changing the policies.... we are inconvenienced all the time.... I bet if you look real hard there are a ton of things you could get really mad about on a daily basis..

     

    Yep...

     

    I find it sad you all can piss and moan about a stupid question at a box store....but if I complain about ammo hoarders, I'M the asshole. :rolleyes:


  5. You have to approach this a little more tactfully lowslow....

     

     

    DLF, congratulations on another shooter in the family!

     

    I see your daughter did pretty well to keep it on the paper, pretty good for a first timer! With a little practice, I'm sure she'll turn out to be a fine marksman. That said, she's going to need quite a bit of practice. I'm a busy man, but I suppose I could make some time in my schedule to help a fellow shooter out. If you'd kindly send me her contact info, I can call and set up a tutoring schedule. :hi:


  6. WVIS,

     

    It was at Ykids, an afterschool program to watch kids until parents pick them up after work. It was on school grounds, after hours, but school rules still apply. The kids had been warned by the principal of the school to not make videos after they were caught making Harlem Shuffle clips. The suspension, while a bit much (as my son did not threaten anyone directly nor did he threaten to bring a weapon into school), is what it is. It did make my son realize the seriousness of mentioning guns at school. He got a stern lecture about how his actions could really mess up my life.

     

    I, too, have repeatedly told my son that no one at school, or anywhere at all, is to know that I have guns. He was also told to not draw guns, talk about guns, hint at guns or play any violent games at school.

     

    This boils down to a young 5th grader getting tricked by older kids to be the star of the video. The older kids knew exactly what they were doing, as they stayed off camera. They were giggling the whole time in the background. The director of the video was also suspended. Both kids were also expelled from the Ykids program, so that f***s with my schedule, as I now have to get him off the bus at 2pm everyday. Good thing I got laid off in January!

     

    The kid knows this was a big screw up. Again, better for him to get this lesson over with at 11 instead of 15.

     

    Ok...on school grounds during an after school program. As long as he learns, it sounds like a good lesson then.


  7. I haven't been to any other range in NJ, so I can't compare...

     

    But overall it's a great place. As other's have said....the "rules" seem silly to a more seasoned shooter, but in their defense they do have a lot of novices there. It's all about safety, which I can get behind.

     

     

    My biggest complaint......they faced the main ranges (GP and HP) southwest. If you don't go at the crack of dawn or just before sundown, the sun is in your eyes ALL day. But, once again, that's the direction of Collier's Mills and away from residential areas....so they had a reason.

     

     

     

     

     

    If you can afford the scratch....it's worth it.


  8. Of all the Dick's I've dealt with, the guys in Freehold aren't too bad. I've had conversations with a couple of the guys...not a-holes like the guys in Brick.

     

     

     

    Unlikely, but you didn't happen to notice if they had restocked any of their other rifle ammo? 7mm-08 in particular...
