Don't forget the infamous EDS RED....

The place is really only about 200 sq ft., so you have to be a little more specific.

Okay...I guess by now, most of you have heard about the new store on Stump Tavern & Veterans Hwy.{ rt 528}. The owner was asking, what do you guys think that he should sell in the shop, and services to provide. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Don't forget that this would benefit all of us.

What was it you sold?

Hey NJ609.....I don't know if you got my PM....But I asked if you got your bike yet?

For all you guys looking into getting their first mil-surp...Don't hesitate to post...I'm sure you'll get lots of helpful info.

I can see by the amount of posts in this section, that there is not many who shoot surplus rifles. Ah...gone are the days of wood and steel.....replaced by shiney black plastic...

Why pay anything if you are not going to shoot much????

That went along the same lines as the dinosaurs. There used to be plenty of free space back in the day, but that changed when everyone started moving in and building. Even though there might be enough land, you'll always encounter some a..hole calling the police. Then there's the litter problem. A lot of those out of the way shooting sites have turned into dump sites. The other day we lit off a little fire in the back yard so we could sit around with friends and just chat in the evening. In 20 minutes, we had the local fire dept. storming into the yard because some neighbor smelled smoke in the area. So you could imagine when someone hears gunfire.....

I guess it's what side of the bed he woke up to in the AM. I've dealt with him a couple of times, and he didn't bother me much, but some guys could testify that he would buzz them like a swarm of hornets.

I don't know about you guys, but $ 600.... :roll: Some people use ranges to sight in, or just plink around, or try out a new rifle. Some are serious shooters. But for that kind of money, you could shoot somewhere else and save enough to buy a new rifle every year.

It' for sure....lose the scope.

Try Dixie Gun Works..They usually have everything to get your problem LICKED. :oops:

Barrel harmonics....Can you hum a few bars...

If it's a good weld...It should be stronger than the metal around it..Not to worry it will hold.

Don't forget..supply and demand. About three years ago, you could find good deals on Garands. Even CMP had a good supply. Then you had two great Movies. Saving Private Ryan, and the series, Band of Brothers. All of a sudden, everyone and their grammas' wanted a Garand.

I heard a lot of negatives about Mitchells. Like someone said, they re-number a lot of their parts and call them surplus. I don't think something manfactured in 1960, would qualify for WW II rifles.But they get away with it. As for some of you not wanting a rifle because of something that happened before you were born????? Think about it...It's a piece of wood and steel...It's history that you hold in your hands.

Don't knock those good old service rifles. If you want beauty, get a shiney new black rifle. If you want a shooter, stick to those surplus rifles.Hint on accuracy on those M-44's. If it comes with the bayonet, keep it extended. Has something to do with the balance. Good shooting.

Okay...got that straightened out... :roll:

I can't even change my profile....????

Why do I have to log on everytime I switch pages, and there is no one to contact?
