Scrap

Scrap is short of Scrappy/Scrappie which is shortest of ScrappyDoo..... the toughest lil guy cartoon character? My college fraternity pledging nickname because my wrestling nickname of Samson was taken.

With all due respect Omar has been say " rude" in a specific way to me every single time I visit sd still is , therefore will not get any of my business. Jackdawack : Exactly!!! As a son Of a ( retired ) high ranking LEO he used to be able to have just about any car he wanted ( the FCU would take the money out of the check before you cashed it ! Guys could get Lambos and not have gas money let alone mllk and bread , lol. ...'point being my Dad had some nice cars but purposely dressed down for The part. I can still remember it like this "'the Wrangler Sahara Limited Series salesman ..... The z3 salesman that that he said I wanted a car for my 17th/ Rec my lic ( and the great man did treat me like the customer ) etcccc and I'll remember , walking off Reedman cause the " lying sob didn't want to slll the most expensive Durango on the lot today " , the ford explorer salesman that tried to fight and got arrested , and I think maybe the Mercedes salesperson that said we couldn't get in " dressed like that " ...... I'll never forget these

The funny thing is, I work in retail. (worked), before my injury and total disc replacement back surtgery. I am a sommelier... I was the youngest certified sommelier in NJ when I got done my school. I am probably the most knowledgeable "booze" person anyone on the forum knows. thats not me boasing, honest, its just dedication to my career. But the disrespect I get at MY Job PALES in comparison, Especially since I am 30 looking like I turned 17. I just wonder, do fresh out of Yale law school lawyers face problems wih their jobs, ? I would imagine people be like "AWWW YEAH We got teh $hizzzzzznit!!!!! Young Yale gun up in this mofo!!!!" LOL Anyway CMO is the smae all the time, three or four dooshes three or four cool dudes. I either deal with the cool ones or tell the other ones where I bought my other rifle/shotgun cause they were too busy to help me "at the time". And the guy really does act high and mighty cause "I'm a retired state cop", I ususally go, "Oh maybe you worked for my Dad then" and that shuts him up pretty good.

The owner was in the process of getting me a $80 credit. a while back I bought my dad a PAP for this bday and put a $80 NcStar dot on it.... the dot broke in half one trip out. We talked on the phone, this was planned. While he's doing his thing , I see my man Fred the older guy, and look at some Mossberg M590A1's.... This younger-man like 40-50ish who looks a lot like a Rat ( like his heritage is that of rodent) goes under his breath (great the guy who touches every gun in the store and never buys) AND BEcause it was loud enough to hear I'm like, "I've bought 4? I think 4? guns in the last 12 mo here. Two of the same, another, and the last one on a whim. The other 6 I bought last year you and i do mean YOU PERSONALLY told me "we don't need the business, the price is the price, so if you expect a discount we'll sell it to someone else",..,, Okay bud that's why I'm talking to Fred. anyway the 590A1 i wanted was like $650 and that was a little too rich for my blood today, so I inform the owner I'll just take my full credit in Mini Mags and start poking around, stepping over the lil chain where the mags are WHICH IVE DONE EVEY SINGLE TIME IVE BEEN THERE. Homeboy comes RUNNING OVER, I mean, Police emergency response, "EXCUSE ME SIR PLEASE EXPLAIN YOOUR ACTIIONS" .... Uh dude, I'm looking for a few mags" And you'll do it from this side of the chain, immediately remove yourself from that area..." I half chuckle and say "Oh sorry I didn''t realize it was a big deal" IF IT WASnT A BIG DEAL IT WOULD NOT BE SPECIFICED AS SUCH, DESPITE YOUR FAILRUE TO COMPREHEND. Reeeeeeaaaaaallllly? Okay I need some help choosing magainzes, can you please stand here and help me go through them one by one to see what we have? NO SIR I AM HELPING A PAYING CUSTOMER. Where? I don't see anyone? But nope. goes back to the corner to point and talk ****. I'm seriously have the mind to get the guys name and write the Trentonian. Oh and hes "a retired State Cop he doesn't need this""\

Before I begin I would like to mke sure I'm not breaking rules: Is Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters a sponsor here? Do they advertise, do they represent here, are their employees on here? I have a story I would like to share of my encounter there today, I have SEVERAL stories which all lead to me going there as little as possible but, today I am reminded why. I might have actually even "beatn up" an insolent older-than-me-man if we weren't in a , you know, gun store. So can I tell story>?

So you would buy one Maks or not? i got an itching for another useless 22 having a 597, 15-22, and Mk II

215-996-1603 Sean Reed ... formerly? of CDI Custom? Sean Reed is THE MAN... Career infantryman, special forces and Professional side of the ball, stateside law enforcement and SWAT, and oh yeah Gunsmith of some reknown. If nothing else call and let him tell you, I'm just a kid he did work on for me and he impressed me big time.

Arms and Ammo would you do the work / Sell them fully converted ?

I spent a long while at Ready Aim Fire today with the Mark II GXP and was going to (still might ) post a total range report, but let me just say, this thing is one of THE BEST $150 or so bucks I've ever spent. just standing up and using the lowest [3?] scope setting, you can easily shoot sniper-proud shots all day long. I think its FUN too, rockin and rollin, cockin and lockin that bolt action... but seriously, its not only FUN, it's dead on, i think the gun is FUN and LOOOOOKS beautiful IMHO, and is just such a value. and ALL of my weapons prefered ammo is "CCI Standard Velocity 22LR Lead Round Nose 1070 FPS 40 Grain Target" [that's the who0le front label] This ammo knocks my socks on all rimfires I have, but some of my rifles will use lesser ammos no problem, but with the Savage bolt .22LR GXP and this, CCI ammo (which was reasonable I think?) I might as well be shooting a M40 or M24 SWS or even one of those nicenice Tikka badmamajamamms.

FWIW, and I did extensive research before I bought my 15-22 earlier this year (all of Jan, Feb, March to research, bought on April 1 I believe), it is one of if not the most amazing lil packages I have ever bought.... Completely customizable, every where I go I get compliments, and it shoots LIGHTS OUT, I mean pinpoint accurate, dead nails tough , reliable as a Cold War AK, fast fast fast, it's just basically my baby. I mean I could see me Mad=Max'in it up, with my 930 SPX and Savage Mark II crisscrossed across my back, my G23 sidearm, and carrying the 15-22 as I scour the hinterland with my Australian Cattle Dog by myside... Despite my active imagination, it really is THAT good Now a real, full-auto, SEAL style MP5 is my probable, #1 overall wishlist gun, but the GSG that is not... I would and probably will buy one just cause, but still, its A) not a MP5 and B) its not a 15-22. Your Mileage May Vary, of course, Sir.

See if you really think about it, it really is focusing on that detail and the other "evil" details however ridiculous... They not only ban an entire list by name, and say you cannot have Such and such weapon BY NAME, but then go over and ban by specific features, including and not limited to said collapsible stock and aforementioned bayonet lug... That is, to me, very specific attempts to make sure their bans include as much as possible, by including specific named weapons *and also* specific features, most of which are all on the same weapons, but if not, you still can't have them anyway.

Yankees that made me choke on my Earl Grey LOL.

I had this problem when I got the Mossberg 930 SPX. It was only a few weeks after getting my paperwork and I didn't know, and Dick's "didn't know" so I got a Mossberg 930 SPX from the Dick's across the river in PA, which comes factory with a Choate Machine and Tool +3 extension making it 7+1. (I got the conventional stock version because I heard about the pistol grip law but also, Mossberg's safety is much more accessible with a conventional stock). I called Choate and had them make me a +1 extension and then put their new extension, spring , and follower on and now it's 5+1. All good. But according to Mossberg I'm the only one in NJ with an SPX, I called and asked about the parts and they didn't actually believe me I had one.

I just changed the stock on my S&W M&P 15-22 to a Magpul MOE stock, and it wasn't hard even for a novice but it did destroy the stock on there from the factory. And that was a question I had, can't I pin it collapsed even though it came pinned fully extended? And that whole exercise really made me realize how stupid that law really is. Usually I just keep my mouth shut and respect the law but c'mon, really?

I completely understand brother. I went to Dick's in PA on Super Bowl Sunday morning looking for magazines for my Remington 597 I had just recently purchased, and walked out with a Mossberg 930 SPX. And when he told me he had something "special" in the back and brought it out to show me, literally the room darkened, the spotlight shined on it, music started playing in the background, and there was no way I was leaving without purchasing it.

Note: I've been feeling bad about the optic on this (and also another NcStar optic I have put on the PAP) ... and i just found out, Apparently it's the exact copy of what Sig calls their HOLOsight and puts on their fancy model of the SIG556 ... LOL... Now I don't feel so bad in fact I feel much better now. Not only is it Magpul customized its got a SIG knockoff. S&W M&P 15-22 Scrapul Model.

I have the Savage Mark II GXP, I guess a less expensive version of the nice one Yankees showed... I got mine from Dick's with a scope as well, a Bushnell scope actually, and mine is wood stock with real nice checkering and finish, bolt action, .22LR, normally $200 I got it for $150 on sale. It is, almost to say, my favorite thing to shoot. It looks and feels much more expensive than it is, is deadly accurate within its limits, and has very nice action/movement/etc. They had both Savage .22LR wood rimfires Semi & Bolt on sale at the same time , take your pick. I had previously just purchased a Rem 597 so I had the scoped semi rimfire segment cornered, but I wanted the bolt action. very very highly recommend... I seem to haven't met a .22LR I haven't liked, but still, it's just a can't miss rifle. AT THE VERY LEAST, it's an AWESOME rifle to have tucked away in case of emergency/SHTF. This and a box of 525/333/what-have-you is an excellent way to put $200 away. I could literally drive to the indoor range and if I brought only this, I'd have a lot of fun for an hour just sniping bullseyes on paper with this. It looks like Yankee's is even much nicer. Same with my Rem 597, I bought it (the green synthetic scoped combo ) and then found out there was also Rem 597 "tactical" models like ARs and also a nice, thumbhole, wild color scheme, heavy-barrels upgraded version.. I would have got that but didnt know. I like Yankees a lot but never saw that model to purchase, but again I am quite certain I'm happy with my version for $150.

Glenn that's exactly what it is, and I know you know a lot about this subject so I am glad to know you are liking the same thing I am liking... I am going to go check out JG sales now. Thank you thank you.

I'm in the market for an AK now, as I have gone through two PAPs (love them just keep finding good reasons to get rid of them)... I found a Polish and also Bulgarian on Centerfire systems, I think they'd require gunsmithing to make NJ compliant but that's not a problem I found a guy... What do you think? Polish : http://www.centerfiresystems.com/akagun-pol.aspx I like this one a lot, if it had that bright orange I've come to know and love I would have made the decision, I like that and I'm of Polish descent so that makes me want one a little more. and I heard Bulgarians are great. http://www.centerfiresystems.com/akagunssr85c-01.aspx Bulgarian looks great, terrible stock. WOuld love an Arsenal, expensive though, and am still leaning towards a $350 Saiga and just slowly working on it.

Help me out I'm not understanding, it's a Colt AR-15/M16/M4 except in 7.62 Nato, so it's a Colt AR-10? (and AR-10 is ArmaLite not Colt normally?)

Not sure how you took my post to read I was inferring the armorers or any Army soldier/Marine did something half-assed when I was clearly referring to the government's longstanding policy and application of retrofitting rather than complete replacement, but hey, sorry if I mislead you. And balancing the budget by borrowing money satisfies a short-term need and is readily available, so why not do that some more to fix a major problem? See how that worked out there...

Seems like another half-assed military waste of money... Change calibers or don't, but "Retrofitting" sniper rifles to new parts for a new caliber just seems half assed to me, do it or don't. But they're going to say how much money we save by not getting entirely new rifles.

Check out this bad mother trucker right here boy!

OK so remove the bayonet lug and Im good to go?

Parker and Glenn both thank you and both have the points I'm tryin to make. So Parker, you're saying there were steps necessary about registering at ban time etc. Lets just say I don't know and I understand the part that makes it illegal to possess. I don't have one I'm just sounding something out here. Glenn I'm thinking like you, if you then therefore removed the illegal features, whatever they are (and I'm not sure I haven't been up close and personal on an M1A, I know they are one of the Mothers Of All Rifles but I haven't had the pleasure yet) ... could the steps be taken to make it legal now, or because it's BEEN illegal it stays illegal? Thanks guys i"m not trying to stir the pot I'm trying to figure this out for real.
