Signs You Might Be A Milsurp Collector I found it on another board but must honestly admit most apply to me! 1)You know the correct pronunciation of

well I made it back home. All is well. The rig i am on is like a giant pontoon boat, just anchored in place. So we were rockin and rollin quite a bit. We do exploratory drilling, drill a hole and move on. And the link to the weather channel we are the video named "ida's waves more intense." This was way before it got rough, still some 15-20 footers in the video. Once it got above 30ft seas they wouldn't let us outside to see any more. The guy actually sent the video to his wife to show her it wasn't that bad, and she ended up sending it to the weather channel. I weaseled my way up to the bridge, a secure area, just to watch a bit when it was a lot rougher.

well we managed to survive. 55ft seas and 96mph winds. We took a little damage but nothing major. I did laugh at all of the guys getting sea sick. The eye passed right over us, what an amazing sight. Just like in the movies, nice and calm with blue skies. Somebody sent a quick video over to the weather channel and the video of the oil rig on the weather channel is us. We got our 14 seconds of fame.

actually the boat is fine, he just took off for shore. It is supposed to get a lot worse, the eye is supposed to go 15 miles west of us on monday night/tuesday morning. Internet is horrible right now, but when i get a chance more pics to come. it's a little scary-lol. Fortunately i dont get sea sick.

Well looks like i am going to have to wait this one out. I am "supposed" to get on a helicopter tomorrow to come home, but...I doubt that is going to happen. DAMN IDA! For all of you wondering what it is like. Here is a pic. Wish me luck, and hopefully i'll get home sometime this week.

I have actually run into him a couple of times in convenience stores down in new orleans area(gretna, belle chasse). Seems like quite a cool guy, i just dont ever want to piss him off.

If you are lookin for a good starter mauser, the best you can get right now cheap, is a yugo 24/47. They tend to be about 150-200, but most tend to be unissued since refurb, new barrels and all. Out of the the MANY that i have i would say 90% is that way. Believe it or not i have bought several from sarco in that condition, it just takes a little digging. I am heading down there when i get back from work in about a week and a half if you want to meet up.

m48, maybe about 200 +/-. Mitchells i would never buy from them just for the principals of it. Avoid Mitchells at all costs. Do a little research on the net, and you will find out why.

I like the stuff, not that bad. But just remember that some rifles like different ammo. My pe sniper loves the hungarian stuff, but my pu hates it. My PU loves the russian stuff, but the PE hates. It is just a matter of trial and error until you find what your particular rifle likes.

Next time I come home, i'll meet you at the ridge. I'll bring a couple flavors of surplus and we'll see what your rifle likes best before you order a bunch. After that I'll give you the low down on properly cleaning after corrosive ammo if you arent familiar.

As a result of Senate proposed force reductions and budget cuts the Department of the Navy has developed a program to reduce the number of active duty personnel. This program is under test phase and will be effective 1 January 2010. Under this new program, older sailors will be asked to go on early retirement, thus permitting the retention of the younger sailors who represent the future. Therefore, this program will phase out older sailors by the end of the current fiscal year. This initial phase of the program will be known as SLAP (Sailors Late-Aged Program). Sailors who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look for jobs outside the Navy. SLAPPED sailors can request a review of their personnel records before actual retirement takes place. This phase of the program is called SCREW (Survey of Capabilities of Retired Early Workers). All sailors who have been SLAPPED or SCREWED, may file an appeal with their chain of command with final authority at the Major Command level. This is called SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following Termination). Under the terms of the new policy, a sailor may be SLAPPED once, SCREWED twice, but may be SHAFTED as many times as the Navy deems appropriate. If a sailor follows the above procedures, he/she will be entitled to get HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel's Early Severance) or CLAP (Combined Lump-sum Assistance Payment), unless he/she already has AIDS (Additional Income From Dependents or Spouse). As HERPES and CLAP are considered benefit plans, any sailor who has received HERPES or CLAP will no longer be SLAPPED or SCREWED by the Navy. The Navy wishes to assure the younger Sailors who remain on board, that the Navy will continue its policy of training sailors through our Special High Intensity Training (SHIT). The Navy takes pride in the amount of SHIT our sailors receive. We have given our sailors more SHIT than any other service. If any sailor feels they do not receive enough SHIT at their current base, see your immediate supervisor. OUR SUPERVISOR IS SPECIALLY TRAINED TO MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVE ALL THE SHIT YOU CAN STAND.

I bought it from a buddy of mine and have seen it function. It didn't come from aim just used the reference of how it looked. Also i have built some similar weapons when i lived in florida, so i dont think there is any kind of issue i cant handle. If it does, it will end up being quite a learning experience and give me something to do next time i come home.

I leave for work sunday morning. When i get back in 3 weeks bring 'er by.

I stripped it the night before using citristrip in a spray can. It took off all of the old finish completely. Once the finish was gone i gave it a good wipe with mineral spirits and let it sit over night. Yesterday morning i sanded it down progressively, starting with 80 grit and finishing up with 320. I took my carving knife and matched up the vent holes on the hand guard(nice little added touch) I then stained with the red mahogany stain, the butt took 2 coats the handguards took 3. I sprayed with lacquer and sanded with 600grit wet sand paper between coats. On the last coat i sanded again with the 600 and applied some paste wax. It could use another coat of wax, but i'll get to that later.

Well i took advantage of the bad weather yesterday, and refinished my psl. I haven't even shot the damn thing yet, but the nasty finish on it was driving me nuts. Mine came just like the picture on aim's website, blond up top and brown down below. So I used minwax red mahogany stain and put about 5 coats of lacquer on it. I think it came out nice....Whatcha think?

That is the exact one i have. It is a pretty drawn out process for me, just because i am too cheep to buy the correct fluid for it. They actually sell stuff just for firearms. What i do is....... Get some of the cheap purple degreaser from sams club. It only costs about $6 for a gallon. Toss about 2 cups of that in the cleaner. Add really hot water from the sink, up to about the half way mark. Put parts in and let it go for about 10 minutes, or 2 cycles. Take parts out of cleaner and rinse off with hot water from the sink. Put rinsed parts on a baking tray and douche with wd40. Put the baking tray with the oily parts in the oven on 200

mine is just the el cheapo harbor freight special. Works great! I normally throw whole bolts and smaller parts in there and let er rip. Takes away a lot of the elbow grease. It isn't the best, i am sure if i were to spend a lot of money for a good one it would work better. But for cosmo and the occasional gun strip down it works pleanty good for what i use it for.

Gotta love grillin in the winter. I pull the grill up on the deck every fall so i can have "easy access" all winter long. UPDATE- the roads are covered in blairstown. Thought i heard a salt truck go by before.

Well I ordered a couple of mags the other day and they finally came in. Surprisingly there isn't a spot of rust on them. They are just caked in cosmo. Right now they are sitting in my ultrasonic cleaner, when they are done I'll post pics. Overall definitely worth the $12 per mag.

just looked out my back door and there is white stuff falling from the sky. This is way too early to start. And it is even coming down pretty heavy too!

One of my favorite kinds of ammo for my mosin from 1924. I have never have had a problem shoooting old ammo, but I do inspect each and every round before i put it into the ammo can for use.

Just when you thought you couldn't make a 10/22 any more fun! Good thing .22lr ammo is cheep.

light rust, but who cares. I'll put em on the wire wheel and cold blue em for that price! https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/50/products_id/1241?osCsid=73658a96cdab904fa245b27bc7f5bd61

I can say that I look at myself as a patriot. I have defended my country voluntarily in a time of war. And I can say I am proud to be an American, but what is big brother trying to do? I try not to criticize the govt, but it is getting to the point where I just have to ask myself WTF! http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/articles/feds_to_60_million.html

my favorite one.... AK. Your rifle can be used by any two bit nation's most illiterate conscripts to fight elite forces worldwide. AR. Your rifle is used by elite forces worldwide to fight two bit nation
