Palmetto State Armory puts together kits like that. http://palmettostatearmory.com/1071.php I guess you can always send them an email and see if they will give you a sweet deal on exactly everything you want.

Striped Lower Receiver
I just picked up a DSA blemished stripped lower for $60 plus ship ffl and nics and for the price there is a slight finish blem on the edge of the mag well that is maybe a quarter inch long and barely noticeable. Ill stick with the DSA for price.

How Prepared Am I?
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. Some people spend thousands of dollars on collecting baseball cards, I guess the zombocalypse has become almost a hobby for some people.

Eotech, Aimpoint or Trigicon?
I run an Eotech and it fills my needs, but if your looking for something with a dot and variable power (1-4x) this doesnt look so bad, i dont know anyone who has one but its worth looking at. http://swfa.com/Millett-1-4x24-DMS-PEPR-Combo-P42148.aspx

"knife" smithing
well i screwed it up! the leather was too brittle and cracked and some was missing so it made it loose, when I handled it a little it all fell off. I ended up spending a few hours cutting new leather washers out of an old belt, came out pretty good, I just need to put the belt sander on it and smooth the leather washers out. Ill post pics tonight. Has a Ka-Bar look to it now.

"knife" smithing
They are not too rare, i see lots on ebay, value on mine would probably be the lowest, no sheath, chip on blade, leather damaged, I would say $30-$40 if that probably lower. Its a good project knife. I was able to get the chip out of the blade with a little sharpening, its starting to shave too. The Handle worried me but Im gonna try the mineral oil. Also if anyone knows how to turn the blade shiney again. I tried a buffing wheel and steel wool, it came a little better probably just need more time with it, anyone know some short cuts? Im thinking wire wheel, but am a little worried, I definately dont want it heating up and losing temper.

"knife" smithing
I found an old Cattaraugus 225Q knife in my garage I am working on cleaning up and was wondering if anyone knew how to recondition the old stacked leather type handle. It feels very dry. My idea is to soften it up then maybe try and sand it down smooth as some stacked pieces are not even with the ones next to them. Anyone ever try this and have any advice?

Sten MKIII
resolved, they were also saying the gsg 5 he had had a silencer, if anyone knows the gsg5 it as a barrel shroud, but it is not a silencer

Mounting Scope DPMS in 308
as long as your mounts are high enough to clear the rear sight, or if you remove the rear sight, the front sight shouldnt be a problem, even if it is still in the way I have noticed with any amount of magnification over like a 6power you dont see the front sight anyway. like its not even there.

Sten MKIII
Just 'build' it across the boarder and bring it on home, make sure you electro-pencil a different name on the receiver other then sten, MADE IN PA, and add a s/n. The problem is even if you did everything in a legal fashion, if confronted by an overzealous cop you will probably be arrested and have to prove yourself innocent which is going to cost you anyway. Happened to my friend with a WASR-10.

Trouble for Trijicon
Misplaced in wrong forum. But... Love how ABC news just investigated this and found out. Trijicon has been doing this forever. I doubt it will go anywhere, even if they remove it from the production there are already hundreds of thousands in government hands already. Must have been a slow day for ABC.

Tokarev Grips
wow that was a good win. What a great deal in general those Romanians are. I wish I would have picked up a polish when they were available.

Split cases from Mosin m44 - Pics added
Ive never seen splits like that. Headspace issues are usually seen around the rim of the case rather then the side. The ammo you have looks like Yugo 1967 copper washed steel rather then brass. I have Yugoslavian ammo from 1981 that is brass. Put a magnet on it to know for sure. I would guess the splitting is coming from the rigid steel cases not being able to expand.

British Enfield Anyone?
an old saying goes: "The Germans built a hunting rifle(mauser), the Americans built a target rifle (03 Springfield), but the British built a battle rifle (enfield)". owning all of them I would say this is true!

RUGER 180 ACP.
It wasn't a very funny joke.

Anybody else seen The Road?
I just saw it the other night. 2 bullets? come on I know its years after the world ended but 2 bullets, and the rifles those cannibals had looked pretty good, not really falling apart after all those years of hunting people down in a harsh enviorment. After seeing the movie though I definitely made some considerations to setting aside some ammo. I dont want to be left with 2 bullets!
