The chicken and the egg down in beach haven is famous for thier wings and other fare.

Glad to hear you're ok. I can't help but wonder if it was also in part due to that its a non-ramped style barrel that Taurus uses on the PT1911. That was one thing that i disliked about my Taurus specifically even though i wasn't going to shoot a single round of 38 super out of it. Ramped barrels came about specifically because of the proliferation of higher pressure cartridges being adopted in the 1911, 38 super included. Maybe with more case support it wouldn't have let go like that. Good luck if you have to send it back!

Not saying that at all. Who mentioned the Forks show? Just commenting on the Rodeway inn venue specifically.

No, that one already passed. This is a new show, check the schedule for the venue.

If its the Rodeway inn show, prepare to be underwhelmed. Its small and in the summer, its pretty rank in there!

Sold to the revolver maniac!

I'm selling a pair of slightly used Dawson fixes sights for the GSG 1911 22 pistol. The rear is a plain black novak style and fits the GSG dovetail specifically and its dimensions are .290" high (Same as stock rear) with a .150 notch. The front is a fiber optic also made specifically for the GSG dovetail. The blade is the same height as stock at .195" (same as the stock medium height blade) and is .100" wide. Since the sights are the same heights as a stock GSG, if you gun shoots to POA, these will work for you. They are barely used and in excellent condition and include the installation punched and extra fiber optic rod. $60 for the pair. Shipping is available.

CJN Castings (formerly TSW Castings) in Toms River used to stock some VV powders. You can try there but otherwise its worth stocking up at Powder Valley as their prices are really good and its a one stop shop.

+1 on the lube. I put some side glide on both my rifle and carbine springs and they're quiet as a mouse fart now. But don't lay it on too heavy not use too viscous of a grease as that may potentially dampen the action can cause cycling issues.

I'll take the ammo!

Which stage was the classifier? I can never remember thier names. :girlwacko:

Well, in your defense, that thing went into warp speed after you shot a couple plates off it and kept on gaining speed with every plate you cleared! lol But thats what going to happen if you keep shooting the bottom plates so let that be a lesson to you.

sure, post em up! I can't wait to see that stage where I fumble the barrel start. Duhh,, how do I pick up this gun? Lol

The mosin suffers from typical case of "russian trigger": Long, creepy, vague and heavy. The washer trick, while cheap and easy, doesn't really rectify the triggers' negative traits and simplistic design. The mosin really needs a slight geometry change to the trigger/sear engagement if you ever want anything remotely described as "crisp" lime most desirable triggers are. The Finnish army realized this and transformed the stock russian trigger to a 2-stage design with very minor changes to the trigger/sear angles in models such as the M39. Finding a M39 take-off trigger/sear isnt going to be easy as no one in thier right mind would part with it unless thier gun was otherwise junk. There is an old guide floating around the internet that is an excerpt of na old russian manual that described modifying and accurizing the mosin nagant and one part deals with reshaping the trigger/sear angles to get something like the 2-stage design the Finn's used. Its not for the feint of heart though as its easy to screw up and remove too much metal and make the gun unsafe (failing the "bump" test). The timney takes the mosin a step further and eliminates the native design for a propretary one of thier own that im sure is beyond anything you could get out of the stock components. I mean, the Finn's are nice, but not snapping like a glass rod nice. I've had russians and finns, i've bought extra triggers and sears to modify, i've done angle jobs and polish jobs, but none compare to what you;d get on a true precision rifle. Some people balk at the price and say why spend $100 for a trigger on a $100 gun. But the reality is, The mosin is really a used $600 surplus gun that you got on deep, deep 40's era government discount and the Timney kit is a new production unit that you're paying 2012 prices for. If you don't want to buy it, fine, but to say its not inherently worth it isn't fair. Not fair to the gun and not fair to your shooting. If you think it will improve your shooting and make the gun more enjoyable, a hundred bucks sounds like a pretty nice deal!

There was a place in Ewing or Trenton i stopped by one time a number of years ago to check out the whole airsoft thing. Turned out it wasn't really for me but the owner was a cool guy who also owned real guns so we talked what they call "real steel" for a while. Is that place still around?

It's not Kydex but you can take a look at Esstac shorty's or even the HSGI taco's and put a small block of wood in the bottom to limit the insertion. http://www.skdtac.com/Esstac-M4-KYWI-Single-Mag-Pouch-SHORTY-p/ess.232.htm They are intended to use with molle but you can get some belt adapters that hook up to the malice clips from Tactical Tailor or First Spear.

The RRages mags supposedly have an internal block. The ones i saw were pinned. Anyone know who makes those?

I could have sworn I saw somebody once with a full length body mag pinned down to only 15 rounds. are these factory? I can't seem to find anything useful on the net.

Bump.

It also leaves a residual oily film.

The Holster is the Fobus Roto Evolution paddle (model: SG23940RP) that is infinitely adjustable for cant and retention. Its intended for a SIG 239 but also fits a CZ75 SP01 since its similarly shaped and what i used it for. The holster is in excellent shape as i've only used it a few times before going to a drop style. The mag pouch is a Fobus (model 6909P) double mag, 9mm/.40, universal double-stack paddle model. Had a spring loaded finger that automatically adjusts tension for any mag that will fit. Works great for CZ mags. $30 for the pair.

SPF.

Bump.

reg'd

It's an entirely new gun.
