Its starting to sound like an episode of Pinks. "I'll race ya for 4473's!"

Just some dust here in monmouth. after the 28 inches i got last week, i dont have room to shovel a single inch more!

i got that once with a round of surplus romanian tokarev. I think the cartridge was overloaded because it blew the primer to kingdom come and sprayed hot particles in my face. The case showed classic signs of over pressure including brass flow into the extractor cut and buldged the case so bad (no rupture tho), it made glocked brass look like a fresh case. Teh case was a little stuck in the chamber, but the Gun held up just fine.

If you're a member, they open 1 hour earlier at 9am for members only on saturdays.

I love me some backwoods metaphors. :icon_lol:

So it looks like there's some spotting scope/periscope integrated into it, right? If you have to use that scope, do you have to switch position to fire or is there some remote trigger activation? What about that u-shaped box, is that an ammo can or does it serve some other purpose?

What else would you call him?

Also, starting with pistol reloading is marginally easier since there is slightly less steps in the end-to-end process (no lubing, no trimming, less detailed brass inspection).

+1 on the books Lunker mentioned. ABC's is a great book that discusses reloading A-Z and only reloading. Many reloading manuals tend to have only small intro's to reloading, however, then jump right into hundreds upon hundreds or pages of load recipe's. That's fine though since eventually you'll need several of those kinds of reference books for load data corroboration. Another good tutorial type book called Metallic Cartridge Reloading. It has some dated load info but its tutorial section is very good. Also agree on the Lyman manual being a great generic recipe reference. Once you've familiarized yourself with the processes of reloading, you should check out the various reloading videos on the website below. You can see the various processed in action on all kinds of different hardware. http://ultimatereloader.com/

I'm in for Shore shot. But you northern teams gotta realize that you've got no hope. I mean, you have to actually shoot and not just stand around BSing!

Mon-Wed & Fri 6:30 PM to 9:00 Sun 1:00PM-4:00PM 142 Yellowbrook Road, Farmingdale, NJ 07727 732-938-2189 Never been there during the week, but i know the sunday hours are good as thats when i go.

They stock pretty much all brands of powder manufacturer (except VihtaVouri) in most of the various size canisters and their prices are really good in the short time that i've been buying supplies. I could care less about the dust and the spitoon that Gene keeps on the floor so long as he keeps stuff in stock at good prices.

Odd. She of all people should know you already have plenty of home defense weapons scattered around the house.

i mean, it felt like i was watching Judgement Night with Emilio Estevez when i saw that.

You should write "To: Eric, From: Santa" so its more of a surprise when you unwrap it.

Awesome, but the Czechoslovakian version of Anthrax in the beginning is a little dated. But then eastern europe is a little behind the times.

CTD is another one that pisses me off. No indication of in-stock status and they list nearly everything under the sun as products they carry making you think you've hit a gold mine. That and the ridiculous gouging they were doing during the big '08 rush, it was sickening.

Can i have the One Mosin per month for 30 years annuity?

That sux that Dillon's break so much.

Hows the bore on your Hakim? I've looked at a few at gun shows but can never find one with a nice bore. Did find one once with a nice bore but the exterior wood and metal was terrible which struck me as an odd condition to be in.

I love breffest.

You spent all that money on a 650 instead of a 1050 why?

It was a great time and it was real good to meet some new faces. Thanks Bryan and Kris! Happy new year

The lack of realtime backorder status is what irritates me the most about OpticsPlanet.com. I guess that if you don't actually warehouse 90% of the stuff on your site, its probably not wise to show the in-stock status since all you'd see is a sea of red "backorder" tags everywhere you look on thier site.

MArk, i use the fixed 6x variant of that scope on a pistol carbine i put together. Not much recoil on this gun to beat it to death so its been consistent for the ~800 rds i've put through it since i built it. I say "consistent" because i've not noticed any odd deviation from its current level of consistent accuracy which is not exactly MOA quality as it stands, but i think its more a surplus ammo issue rather than scope wander. I intend on trying this scope with mt 22 one day to see if there is a difference in accuracy (my 22 i know is a better shooter than the carbine below).
