Sleeper

I'm have a problem with my Stag M8. The last 2 range trips the pin that holds the the trigger keeps backing out. If I don't watch it and keep pushing it back, it will back out until it gets cock-eyed and the trigger will jam. Of course it never had a problem unil I took apart the lower. My question is; does the pin that holds the trigger go in one way and I have it in backwards? Or is there something else going on? Any ideas from the AR experts? Thanks, Greg

Great news. Now if they would just legalize lane splitting/sharing it would make commuting more practical on a bike. Also bikes shouldn't have to pay any tolls! I guess I'm California dreaming...

A good forum etiquette rule I always follow is never say anything on the forum you wouldn't say to a persons face.

Thank god the next episodes look good. After watching knives and slingshots I was thinking...what next...pissing in the snow and writing your name? There was a lot of criticism about the exploding targets and all but I'm loving the high speed camera work.

Surgery should be a last resort. Make sure your doctor tries all other treatments 1st. I have never had shoulder surgery but had some other surgeries due to injuries and it is never fun. Good luck. Greg

I knew this would be entertaining! It is close to that baby raccoon sounds but it is much more abrupt and deeper like a bark. I don't think it is an injured animal, since we have heard it 5-6 times over the summer from different locations in the woods. I'm thinking maybe it is adult raccoon that is being threatened. It scares the $#@* out of my wife. My dog wants to go get it. I'll try and record it next time. thanks, Greg

I have lived at the same house for the last 15 years on top of a mountain in Warren County. I am used to having deer, bear, fox, groundhogs, squirrels, chipmunks, snakes, vultures, crows, etc as neighbors. Several nights this summer I have heard a sound coming from the woods like I have never heard. It almost sounds like a combination of shriek and a bark. It will go on for a few minutes then stop. Sometimes I won't hear it again for a week or 2. One time at dusk it started up so I went to investigate. It stopped as soon as I got close but I got a glimpse of a small brown animal running away. I know from experience it is not a coyote or fox. I have heard them before and can recognize them. Do raccoons make noise? How about weasels? Anyone have any ideas what may be lurking in my woods this summer? Thanks, Greg

I know how your feeling. But it sounds like Sandy had a great long life.

I Have a model 8. I really like it and have had 0 issues with about 600 rounds through it. Never has jammed with several different brass ammo choices. This is my first AR so my perspective is not broad. Cleaning is a breeze due to the piston. My son who has a lot of experience with ARs from the Army was also very impressed with the Model 8, if that means anything. Where are you located? I'll let you shoot it if you want to come out to Eastom fish and game range. Also give Jim Flynn a call and see if he has one. He sold me mine for $1060 out the door. Greg

This is from the WC. They are brother and sister. How can a monkey and a godess come from the same mother?

My favorite gun shop is there. Jim Flynn's Truck Repair. Other than that I don't know much about the town. I live about 20 miles north. Good Luck. Greg

Cool! Here is a clip of my little girl shooting my Model 8.

Jim is great to deal with and has fair prices. The only hassle is he is a one man shop. I have been there when the line is about 5-6 deep. If everyone is buying a gun you can wait a while. I always go to Jim for guns and ammo first.

I was in the USAF then. Morale sucked. It was embarrassing.

Any chance of this hapening agin in the near future. I missed this event and am really interested in getting started with IDPA. Thanks, Greg

Is it normal to translate the price of everything into how much ammo you could buy? I find myself doing this all the time. I fill my truck with gas and think that would have bought 200 rounds of .223. Or I take my wife to dinner and I'm thinking if we ate at home I could buy 4 boxes of 9mm. :?

I know this is a very general question. Most modern firearms have very good manufacture's support for parts and service. But is there a time when it just makes sense to retire a gun? I'm not talking about if a gun breaks due to abuse or accident but when it just has so many rounds through it, it's done. This also comes into play when buying a used gun. Most guns you see in the classifieds say 100-500 rounds through it. Would you buy a well maintained used gun that had 5000 rounds through it? Thanks, Greg

$667 out the door. This includes NJ tax, NICs etc..

Yes I know Omar. Great Guy! I think he will be out riding again this season. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Beer MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

Thought I would revise this thread since it is just about hobbie season. Ive been track riding and some roadracing for about 10 years. It is still one of my favorite things to do.

Some pics from the range a few weeks ago with my kids with the Stag Model 8.

Ben, It was Federal, American Eagle.
