I've done spider drops, but not airborne stuff. I never had the need to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I have done work for them as a sub contractor but not directly BP. Watch out, they are tough as nails when it comes to safety rules. NO cell phone at all when pulling into the complex or interview. BP FREAKS ABOUT CELL PHONES!!

Matt, give Les a call and see if he will help you use a reamer. I can think of no other person that I would trust with a project like that one. He will more than likely be thrilled that you even asked!

I am a freak and feel that surplus ammo is like a fine wine, just gets better with age.... My favorite x54 ammo is 1924 Russian, the stuff is near match grade. My favorite '06 is 1945 winnie, damn accurate, enough that I dont bring it out all the time. If ammo is stored properly, especially if canned, it will last for almost forever.

The next CMP trip is scheduled end of summer Sept time frame........

No, I haven't put it on paper yet. I brought it out, shot a clip or 2 just to check function and then put it away. I go to work tomorrow and when I get back I am going to the range by myself and sighting it in. EPIC FAIL!

MARK-- PM ME YOUR # ASAP. I will hook you up with a couple of honey holes. This my area.

I have a RIA GI and love it. I have put hundreds of rounds through it and it hasn't had a single hiccup. For the price you cant go wrong.

Welcome from Warren County! Sit back relax and enjoy your stay

hey, it was me that sent that to you last night!!!!!!

I wonder if they are going to do a helicopter fly over for the robot?

I saw this on another forum, but had to bring it over here. THIS IS CLASSIC you gotta see if you want a nice early morning laugh. http://www.videobash.com/video_show/little-terrorist-18181

That is beautiful Frank. That will definitely be one hell of a shooter!

looks really nice.... really nice!

come on the next trip. I think it is going to be in the summer. get enough people, find someone with an SUV and all pile in and pay for gas.

Here she is, my new M1D from the CMP. It is 100% original including scope, cheek pad, and flash hider. I didn't lace up the cheek pad yet, but will get to it tomorrow. Here it is, a Springfield M1D that was built on a 5 digit serial number receiver.

ROFLMAO!

I am going to crash tonight because I haven't slept in 2 days but I will post pics tomorrow. I got a really purdy M1d that was built on an extremely early 5 digit serial number receiver! I guess I strike again. The armorer at the counter actually said it was one of the earliest serial numbers he has seen on an M1 period at the store and the receiver alone is worth several hundred dollars.

toyota has a new factory option, glow in teh dark models

Well almost done, I still have to do some minor work but I'd say I am 90% done. I still need to fix teh badly fitting butt plate, inlet for teh rear sling swivel, and do a little more finishing on teh wood to get a good match. teh bluing is done( wey're are also a couple of screws and pins that I need to get to) , it is covered in a very thick greasy oil right now as per teh bluing solutions directions that is why teh finish looks a little off right now. So total in teh project I think I have about $100 including teh gun. Here is some pics of what I have so far....... Noting like breathing a little life back into an old clunker.

HUH? You want a low Throat Erosion. Most freshly chambered barrels are about 1-1.5 TE, and average CMP service grade is 1.5-2. Just like the muzzle wear, the lower the number the better. My personal cut off is a throat erosion of more than 3. Anything higher than a 3 is an automatic no for me.

I am looking for 2 more people that are interested in making a trip to the CMP next Friday night(April 1st) around 10pm. The plan is to leave my place about 9 or 10 and drive through the night. This should put us at the store around when they open on Saturday. I am just looking for 2 other people to split gas with. We did this trip last year and it was an absolute blast! and great to pick up some M1's. If you are interested, please PM me for more details. From reading the CMP forums, it sounds like the north store is loaded with some CHERRY stuff right now!

The bolt body doesn't change headspace at all. The headspace is set by the bolt head. You can change bodies all you want and it wont have any ill effect on headspace at all, given your headspace is good before you start. There is an ancient tutorial I did in the early days of the forum on making your own bent bolt body without welding. They are strong and cheap. You just need a donor body from sarco or a gunshow for $5. Save your original bolt body and buy a spare to bend. That way you can convert back to original in about 30 seconds.

There is a possibility of an open seat or two on the next trip which is next Friday night. We are leaving my place around 10pm and getting to the store on Saturday morning. All you need to do is help with gas. PM me if anyone is interested.

dip it in a jar of gasoline. wipe off the excess. Immediately look at the receiver. if there is a crack there will be gas on the crack. while the rest of the receiver is dry, this is because the gas got into the crack and is now weeping out. Sorry for bad grammar, I am on my ipod
