Old School

Hey Jon- Mr Moderator- How many times are we going to beat the shit out of this topic? Is it a slow gun day or what?

I've had a few carbon steel Moras and they are very utiliterian. A knife I've had since Noah was a baby is this Buck #102. Priced by buck $71 it can be had for less and used on ebay for half that. As long as it's not ground up don't be afraid of a used one. I put an edge on mine yearly and can shave my arm with it and it holds an edge to get through a couple of deer. It has a stong backbone yet is sized to be used with precision. http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&productID=3036

All good advise Bob. I would further suggest don't forget the pencil and paper. Take notes and shoot at as many different distances as you can. The imperical data is good but seldom perfect. As far as the bullet compensating scopes...They don't work well if you handload. Your most accurate load may not be a load compatable with the compensator. As in "Old School" I have tape on my stock with distances and hold over or scope clicks depending what I'm doing.

You guys baited me into this thread that I've been kind of avoiding. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=0/sid=811/schematicsdetail/Bolt-Carrier-Assembly Guys quit the pissing contest and look at the drawing of this machine. Now Uncle Sam doesn't like real wet bolts because they collect gunk. But does want the weapon to function and if it wears prematurely He has an unlimited amount of weapons. The holes that you are describing run to the bolt where it runs in the carrier, a good place lube right? In a baby powder environment I don't know how wet I would want my bolt...Dry lube anyone? Running steel in aluminum for my purposes gets run wet. But I clean every couple of hundred rounds. I'm not in Kombat Kamite. You're going to run a jungle rifle different than a baby powder rifle...Understand? A rifle in the back of a patrol car i guess you need presereved. Different strokes...

raz- That was always my understanding. Vents to get the gas away from the shooters face and reduce pressure in the bolt in the event of a ruptured primer

PM sent

Fixed that for ya!

I've shipped my STI back to the factory myself and had it delivered back to me at home and no problem. Two issues and they are NJ issues. #1 accuiring a new pistol with no Permit to Purchase even though there is NO purchase and #2 records for disposal of the pistol you already have registered with the state. Keep all you paper work related to the transaction and staple it to your copy of you permit to purchase. IMHO no need to notify NJSP of the disposal as it is likely to be destroyed in a responcible manner.

In Theory the heavier buffer will cause you to feel less felt recoil as the buffer will be moving slower hence reducing you cyclic rate. The heavier buffer will not hit the end of your buffer tube as hard and you feel less "thump". Now, just test fire so you know you will cycle reliably, which you should.

This is not true.

Glad you're on the mend "old guy". During your recovery I'm a good lunch sponsor. Shoot me a PM.

Is that right? Not the intent.

Deleted! I was inappropriate.

+1 Vlad... A bit off topic but consider this. We send young kids overseas with just boot training and let them carry small arms and big stuff. They come back to The States and "no gun for you lad". Why?

Hey! You still here? Really, hang out we need hard cores here. I get my times when I'm like this as well.

Good one Ray! Now back in the box!!

Anthony - Sorry to hear about your dad and I know we spoke about him when we last met. Since we met last year I lost my father as well. If you look around hard enough I'm sure you will find a hand written addendum to your dad's will bequething you the firearms. If it is legal or not is another issue. But why would anyone challenge it without cause. You have my sympathies. Frank

If you needed to I believe you can get that all at their store.

Looks GREAT! Please report back after a few outings as to the durablity.

I have encountered make believe (NJ compliant) A2 length buffer tubes keyed to accept M4 style stocks and drilled and tapped to fix the stock to the tube. Eastwood if you contact me I can set you up.

Good Guy!

I have extra springs if you NEED one. I'll be in Hunterdon (Clinton) tomorrow if you need one. Frank

I feel so guilty... On an AR I only like a decent quality bipod mounted to an aluminum (most ridgid) free floating hand guard.

Clamped to the barrel right behind the muzzle brake should be fine. No reason to spend serious money. http://www.cheaperth...oduct/BIPOD-103 NOT
