wow as if plastic guns weren't a way for manufacturers to mark up prices but yet decrease manufacturing costs, plastic ammo is lower than low!

major post resurrection. The gun is damn haunted, the best way to describe it. No matter what I do the main screw that holds the scope on backs out on its own. Every time I pull it out of the safe, the screw is on the floor. I tried red locktite last night and just went down to the safe and sure enough the screw is on the floor. How the fugg does that happen. I mean I used red locktite! This has happened over a dozen times and sure enough the screw ends up on the floor and I am the only darned person with a combination to my safe. But at least the gun is a good shooter! Anyone know a gun exorcist? LOL

1911's I would say pretty much every time I see them at a good price I pick them up. I would say I have maybe 30 1911 mags.

ah, SARCO to the rescue!

But the problem is that NJ2AS seems only concerned with CCW. Not all gunowners are concerned about CCW. Now I understand that they are a grassroots organization that can only tackle one issue at a time, so right now there is currently no organization that is persuing anything that pertains to mag capacity or AWB.

Oh but trust me it is tempting to shoot it. The thing that really makes this gun a collectors piece is that John Garand assembled all of the 1953 NM rifles himself at Springfield Armory and did a 40 rd test fire. John Garand was the only person to fire this gun so that is really friggin cool in my book and I am going to do all that I can to make sure that Garand stays the only person to fire this gun.

I am planning on heading out on Sunday. Weather is too touchy out here tomorrow. I cant miss it because I am on the prowl for a Tikka M39 and I know the one time I dont go to the show, there will be one there

Its all glass bedding. This baby isn't getting shot. Considering it is pretty much unfired, I am going to do all that I can to make sure it stays that way. I did talk with the founder of the GCA and he confirmed it is legit. YAY!

I wont say how much but I got it for but it was almost nothing in a private sale. It is so mint that a friend of mine that is an expert contacted the Springfield Armory museum about it. When I brought it over he said " I know you are twitching because I can see it, but what you dont know is that I'm twitching." Thats when I realized I had something. Here is one more pic that shows how mint it is. The gas cylinder has the original stamp on the bayo lug. These wipe off and are normally not seen.

I picked this up the other day and figured I'd share some pics of a pure GEM. A 1953 National Match M1 that has only been factory test fired. It was created as a Type 1 NM rifle in 1953 which was the first year of production for NM rifles, and put in storage where it sat until it was updated to Type 2 configuration for the 1962 National Match shoot at Camp Perry. It was not fired there and was sold through the DCM in 1964. All small parts are NM stamped and even the screws look unturned. This thing is as mint as they come but really dusty and dirty. I am actually afraid to clean it, so it is going to sit the same way it has sat for the last 50yrs.

to the best of my knowledge since it is out of state it must go through an FFL. I am sure someone more experienced in the area will chime in

yup and they are being sold to the importer for a whopping $220 each! I bet we pay around 600 for them in the end.

Furniture and Firearms Depot in Mt Bethel PA. It's a furniture store and a gun shop in one. Bring the wife along and let her do her thing while you do yours

I shoot engine blocks on the farm and get full through and through penetration up to 400yds with 30-06 and x54

I'm not fat I'm FLUFFY! Hey I got some natural insulation goin on

It's never too cold. I remember last winter shooting my MG42 and it was so cold that the oil and grease turned to sludge and looked a lot like cosmo. Now I know how the Germans felt during Stalingrad, the gun wouldn't cycle at all. Its never too cold, just fire up a burn barrel and have fun.

I thought .223 was only good for angry zombie chipmunks

google search an DIY electric bore cleaner. I built one and it works wonders. I bought a 1917 with what looked like a sewer pipe and after a treatment it looked darned perfect. It's simple and works wonders.

Gimme a shout when i get home from work next week

A friend of mine started making some of these targets that I thought were just too cool. It is a remote controlled target and the new version actually has one of the zombie manniquin targets on it. With 2 shots in the kill zone they fall down and automatically reset. He just set up to sell a couple to the Missouri highway patrol and he got hired to run them at a SWAT competition. Imagine this thing rolling around at 500yds. Now thats what I consider FUN! Anyway here is his ghetto cheap website that he just put up. It was just a quick thing to get his video online so that is why the site sucks. Here it is http://dtsrat.net/ what do yall think?

if you go further up 512 jewels is there right at 5 points. It's cool because it is a gun shop/bar. Drink a cold one while you are waiting for paperwork.

Dunks is horible, they bent over to Bloomberg and took it hence the extra forms. I like Furniture and Firearms Depot in Mt. Bethel right off of 512. Jim is a stand up guy with fair prices too.

Trust me the bottom of the gulf isnt bad. The gulf is almost back to pre spill levels. I take the samples and do the surveys, there isnt much there. The media doesnt mention the fact that oil naturally seeps from the ocean floor in places, and the gulf is capable of recovering through the natural degradation of crude oil. Crude is not like the processed oil you put in your car, it is composed mostly of organic carbon based compounds which will break down naturally and the remaining petroleum will disperse naturally. Now if i were to take a sample next to a natural seep area, guess what the oil will be high. But i am just the guy taking the samples and surveying the bottom so what do I know.

I hear they are giving out some ski lift tickets in a little place called hell. If looking for change other than CCW i think a change of address is required.
