Being prepared or "Hoarding?"
All of my ammo was lost in the same boating accident that claimed most of my rifles. Damn these NJ waters!

Gun cleaning

Cleaning as part of the hobby....
I feel there is something kinda zen about it. I love cleaning my milsurps just because i am always finding another dent or ding that i never knew was there. Then it gets you thinking how it got there. I have a german k98 with pieces of shrapnel in the stock and i cant help but wonder what kinda shi* these things saw.

Comparing a AK, AR and Mosin Nagant

30 06 M2 Ball Ammo

30 06 M2 Ball Ammo
the M1 garand was designed for the gas system to operate with a specific powder burn rate. It was designed to operate with surplus m2 ball which is the same as anything labeled M2, M2 30-06 ect, anything else and you are asking for problems. I have read about everything from bent oprods to complete catastrophic failures. Greek HXP from the cmp is the best, but you can get some off of gunbroker too. You can use an adjustable gas plug and shoot commercial ammo through it safely but it usually takes about half a box to get it set right. So if you order a plug order a couple of boxes of ammo.

If 1911 is soo great
I actually carried a 1911 when i was in the military not too long ago, and loved it. When i was overseas if i recall correctly the 1911 I would always check out of the armory was made in 1951. As for the m9, it didn't fit right in my hand, so I avoided it. But i can say they are very devastating at close to moderate range.

Ammo rounds in pictures
When i was in Iraq, we had a marine that was an ex machinist. The base we were on was an ex Iraqi base with a full machine shop. The guy took a 20mm barrel for an apache, made a reciever and a bolt. Made a mount for a 5th wheel on a truck and made a bolt action 20mm. He even ordered a scope off the net for it. He shot it a bunch of times but the command made him destroy it after he shot a camel. That thing was fun while it lasted.

HUH????Can anybody clarify this
I found this to be quite interesting from the BATF website. Has anybody heard of this. From the ATF's FAQ < http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm > (B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30] So does this mean rather than drive to pick up a rifle, I can just have the guy ship it UPS to me?

I recently got a new camera, so figured I'd try it out. I am a major WWII buff, and collect pretty much anything related. Here is a pic of some of my dagger and knife collection. What do yall collect?

1903A3
If it ends up being a 1903 and not a 1903a3 make sure it is not an early serial number. Those were not properly heat treated, and considered by many not safe to shoot.

Free at last!!! Finally made it home
Well the main reason is being close to my family. But also with work you never know where they are going to send you. For the past 3 years i have been working on the same rig in the gulf, but more than likely within a year i am going to be working in either brazil or africa. And since my company pays for all travel expenses, I just stay put here.

Free at last!!! Finally made it home
I will admit i had a slight brain dump moment when i built the engine in my chevelle, I get 5 miles per gallon on a good day. At the time the oil company i work for gave out gas cards as bonuses for working safely ect. Well uncle sam said that they were an un-taxable bonus and the company had to put a stop to it. After years of not caring about gas prices.....I realize that this sucks having to pay these prices. I am praying that they come down soon, i want to drive the dang chevelle again.

Free at last!!! Finally made it home
Well i finally made it home from work. It was absolute hell out there, 18hr days 7 days a week for 3 weeks. I am fully exhausted but my bank account should be happy for a while. So hopefully i should be able to buy that 1903A4 that I have been eying. And a little insider scoop, gas prices should be coming down drastically pretty soon.
