In the free world, where people grew up with firearms it is a commmon thing. I frequent a gun shop that is a bar/gun shop. Wait on your paperwork and drink a cold one. Also one of my gun clubs actually does a shotgun shoot occasionally and has an open bar. Guess what, there has NEVER been an accident....

The CMP has been good to me. If you drive to Ohio the lower grades are good to look through. Most of these were rack and field grades.

WOW, another great waste of taxpayer money. I would like to have some cool toys too but I call it budgeting and responsibliity. I guess when you are spending other peoples money it doesn't really matter though. They fantasize about "active shooter" situtations but my guess is it would have an outcome like the Empire State Building shooting. I guess you can call it a Pyrrhic victory. We got 'em but ehhhhhhhh we had a little collateral damage. I guess since there is a chance of a burgulary in your house at night we should all start making ourselves look like Barney Feif meets Rambo..... Got all the glittery doo dads, but uggggh what does it all do again? WOW I am just banging my head against the keyboard on this one... I am out of words.

I spray a couple of squirts of windex down the bore then follow with a few patches. I do this about 3 times and then clean like normal with hoppes #9 and finally a patch with some ballistol for long term storage. Maybe 2 minutes extra. The key is to clean the same day you shoot.

I shoot corrosive all the time out of some verrrrrrrry pricey guns. As long as you clean good using the right procedure there is not going to be an issue.

ROFLMAO.... My biggest fear is that when I die my family sells off the collection for what I told em I paid for it. THAT IS BAD!

Good ol windex followed by Hoppes #9 and a brush and a patch of ballistol for rust prevention. I've never had an issue with rust.

I work deepwater ROV's, basically remote controlled submarines. I guess I will have some cool shipwrecks on the bottom to see.

+1. The cmp is still cheaper than this stuff and the Greek HXP ammo is top notch.

Well I found out she's a shooter. I also found out my front sight worked itself loose after a couple of clips. Yup I can technically say clips on this one. So here was the target for the day 8 shots at 100 with random HXP. I know the groups will shrink a bit after I tighten the sight up.

I would never mail order a rack or field grade. If you order get a service grade and you'll love it, I gurantee. When you see the racks and fields in the store you realize how some are complete dogs that need a rebarrel and rebuild while there is a gem mixed in with them. Back in may I picked up a FG HRA with MW of zero. That is a brand new barrel on a field grade. I dont know why it is a field, but it came home with me.

143 to be exact.........

I was digging through my epic parts bin and realized I had enough parts to build a Garand a couple of months ago. All I needed were a few small parts like a clip latch. This started out as a bare receiver from the CMP. I installed a NOS barrel that I had, and reamed to headspace. The stock was a fun "test" project. It was pretty much a piece of fire wood, split all the way down the middle, and a few big chunks missing out of it. I repaired the cracks, inletted some new wood for the missing chunks and glass bed the receiver. The stock had such a purdy grain I couldn't toss it out. So WTF lets have some fun with it. The stock has an untold amount of coats of lacquer on it(If I said how many 'yall would realize what a nutjob I really am) So over a process of 2 months I would spray a few coats of lacquer and wet sand down. The small parts I flame blued, I did the clip latch, safety, trigger, and front sight base. I still need to do the stacking swivel on the gas cylinder. I reamed out the rear ring on the gas cylinder so it doesn't touch the barrel and beveled the tab so it doesn't touch the handguard. The handguard I removed the metal liner, glued on the front metal and the rear band is screwed and glued to the handguard. And finally the finishing touch was a nifty front sight and a set of original national match rear sights. So enough of me blabbing, here are some pics of the newest beauty queen which I am going to sight in tomorrow.

I went shooting on Thursday and a guy that I am friends with brought out a NFA M16, an M60 and a old Thompson SMG. He let me play all I wanted and afterwards I offered to replace the ammo that I shot or give him money for ammo. He said out of all the people I let play you are the first to offer for ammo. I ended up giving him some cash to add to the ammo fund. It is one thing to try someones gun out if you are only shooting a little, but if you use a bunch of ammo offer to pay for it or replace it. I know from experience when I bring out my MG42 only let people shoot about 15rds. If you give them a big boy belt they keep pulling the trigger until the belt is empty.

This is a darn good kit http://www.midwayusa.com/product/564020/lyman-crusher-2-single-stage-press-master-reloading-kit-110-volt http://www.midwayusa.com/product/414369/frankford-arsenal-quick-n-ez-case-tumbler-master-kit-with-quick-n-ez-rotary-media-separator-110-volt http://www.midwayusa.com/product/204960/frankford-arsenal-case-lube-8-oz-pump

Screw the AR platform, go for a M14. Proven design, stopping power and high range capabilities. From someone that has carried one through the butthole of the world(recently not in Vietnam), a 16 based platform lacks reliability and and the 556 lacks stopping power. Just sayin from personal experience there is no use for the Mattel rifle any more. There is a reason they are pulling 14's out of Govt stores and issuing them in Afghan. The 16 just plainly isn't cutting it, and the 14 does everything you want it to do and some.

The grooved handguard was on the north american enfields, canadian and american. Any enfield for 250 is a good price! Good luck and let me know if you got it!

here she is, I jumped into the pink unicorn time machine a few years ago and picked up this bad boy new in the factory wax paper for $29. Nobody wanted a clunky old army rifle.

The Savage guns are a little more desireable in my opinion. The earlier the better, and of course the more Savage "s" stamped parts the better. Try to find one that is a straight up no4mk1, not the no4mk1*. I picked up one a few years ago and it is my most accurate enfield.

nice!

Nice, I am in the process of cleaning it now, and I have a new camera. Hopefully I will have some nice pics of it soon. And who says sarco has no good deals.....

THANKS DANNO!

I bought something that I honestly have no clue what it is. All I know it is a 6.5 Swede. Everything appears original and the sight is numbered to the gun and is all written in Swedish. My camera literally just blew up on me so these are the only horrible pics I have. It is a 1943 Husquvarna and I got it for 375 with 2 boxes of Privi Ammo. Anybody who knows what the hell this thing please let me know what I got.

My supervisor at work built this really cool remote controlled target and he is marketing to law enforcement for training. The newest version has a mannequin on top with hit sensors. You select how many hits center mass and the thing falls over. There is new software being written that incorporates an airsoft gun. On command on the remote control the arm of the mannequin will raise its arm and the airsoft gun in its hand will target you and shoot back. Looks like perfect time for him to get the business going. http://youtu.be/K97QNwlQqhc

I like eds red too.... different strokes for different folks
