a little update, couldnt find pine tar locally so i decided to just use the minwax spice red color and then im gonna use the old russian recipe of iodine and amber shellac, we will see how it comes out... this shows my wood soaking in bleach all clean this pic is shows after my wood all cleaned up with stripper and bleached looks cool! this pic is with the minwax spice stain drying next pic is iodine shellac mix first layer it really toned down the red... but i wish i had that pine tar to bring out the grain... oh well next time.

is it possible to get a bakelite mag done? if so how much?

i might change direction and do the pine tar turpentine shellac route, the finish looks so warm might be stronger too... but im having trouble finding that pine tar stuff, home depot and lowes dont carry it...anyone know somewhere up here near me that might have it?

man! I found another thread were they use something called pine tar this looks absolutely beautiful! http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_4_93/135720_Pine_Tar_Application_on_Laminate_Wood.html&page=1

yeah I know its pretty darn red, in lowes it looked pretty good, pic below show where I put a little on the end of my stock to test, its against my floors which are a really nice medium red... in lowes it looked pretty close to this pic borrowed from a guy called hoohaa on the ar15.com forums hoohaa used something called deft to finsh in this pic, I wanna use tung oil though... this is hoohaas finished product hopefully mine will look close to it... glennp here is the method you mentioned... http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=198

this is going to be my second run at refinishing romanian furniture for my saiga, the first time I just sanded it down and used some minwax Sedona red and then shellac, it came out pretty good. this time I'm gonna use minwax "spice" water based stain that was mixed for me at lowes, it's really red see pic below, it looks alot like the timbersmith premium stock color, then I think Im gonna finish with tung oil. let me know what ya think? I also have a question, my first set of furniture is very different from the one I have now, on the end of the but stock there is a black band of paint, and the lower grip has the numbers 1801 on it, what are those markings about? I brought some wood fillers to take the stamped numbers out, but if there is a good reason to leave it I will. check pics below...

you have very good taste jose!

you might wanna take a peek at the keltec pf9 it's on my short list of wants, keltec had some problems when this gun was first released but since have solved them, you only hear good things now a days. another nice small 9mm is the kahr cm 9, vey small high quality 9mm felt really good in my hands though I haven't shot either one.

are silicone cloths or socks recommended? or any silicone spray and rag do? i am putting together a pretty good collection and would like to know the best way to store them when they are not in use? any special proceedures?

thanks...currently using a sentry with keypad, but curious about the smaller gunvaults, whats a good sale price on those...

whats dvor?

krdshrk i should be picking up my lcp this week as soon as my exemptions reach my pd, when i get it ill let you know when i head to the range... you know what? since your are looking into small pocket guns, you should see if anyone on these boards has a micro desert eagle, i shot one side by side with an lcp and i liked it alot! i only went with the lcp because its lighter for pocket pistol, not that it matters in nj... lol!

the above was a review i really meant to put this vid, it is cool seeing this done. theres 3 parts to this series...enjoy!

very nice! I wish someone would make a U.S. made romanian style with the forward grip wood set. thats why I'm going this route. I modded my own lower hand guard retainer it's a little sloppy, since you used the other types which did you like best?

thanks vladtepes that does make alot of sense doing it that way... what U.S. parts did you use on your saiga? you still have wood on her right?

well I have decided that I wanna go back to romanian wood buttstock, upper & lower hand guard and pistol grip, I miss my wood! I need to stay 922r compliant. I have a us made trigger group kit from carolina, I wanna make sure so that I stay compliant, so I'm asking the experts. all I need is a us made follower for my mags, to be safe I might as well change the floor plate too extra us part, do I need anything else? if I do, probably a gas piston would be next...ps I used this calculator and it tells me all I need is a follower and I will be compliant. http://jobson.us/922r/

i'm suprized more haven't jumped on these, i have been doing alot of research on the ria and they seem like a great intro. into the 1911 world. i will be picking one up soon, cant wait to get it, fluff and buff a littlle and take it to the range...

You can also try for the ones with the brown uniforms shooting at the bullet hole ( i think it's loomis security). If they can get issued a license to carry with the way they shoot, i'm pretty sure you'll have no problem getting one. you crack me up! lol! However, if you're "on call" 24x7 then you can is this true, it would be good if it was... i thought the pay would be alot better considering how much security is needed everywhere?

the rock island 1911 2011 is going to be my next gun that's why I asked about it. this has probably been posted somewhere already but it was cool seeing this done to a rock island, can't find find part three though...

thanks for the quick responses, what's the pay like these days?

any updates?

your thinking about the other thread I started with "hidden compartments for your weapons", this thread is titled "biometric safes".... anyway this barska safe I'm using is only to keep unauthorized persons from touching my arms, it isr much more convenient to pull stuff out. I would never have my hd piece locked up just to be clear.

how does one go about becoming an armed guard? What forms are involved, classes, tests? fees? is it hard?

don't worry intercooler you will get the exemptions just make sure you fill out the forms correct, have the correct info. and type everything in, you don't want your pd to send your forms back because something was not legible. oh one other tid bid, send your pd a copy of "the letter to the chiefs" explaining all about exemptions laws, also find out when they are going to send them to the njsp, otherwise your pd will sit on your exemption forms because they don't understand the laws and really don't know what to do with them. also when your pd claims to have sent them to the njsp call the njsp to verify, and If the njsp didn't get them yet you know why, call your pd and find out what happened, be a squeaky wheel it works! I filed for my exemptions and i was approved, my forms should be at my station by Monday or Tuesday yay! can't wait!
