To be fair an awesome dream like that for me is extremely rare. Only about 2 to 3 times a month when I wake up I'll even remember that I had a dream, though I won't remember anything from it. About once every 2-3 months I'll have a dream which I can remember, but are generally very random (like one second I am in my house then the next I am on a plane, then walking around my elementary school). Then maybe once a year I'll have what I call a stable dream (which is a dream in which there is a bit of narrative to end events for the most part mostly make sense, though there is usually still a couple of random elements). Now dreams like that Dinosaur one which are extremely cool happen once in measurements of years. (the previous dream that I had that was that cool was about 6 years prior.)

Definitely looks like a good candidate to restore. As for the seller's father in law carrying it throughout Europe, probably not true. More likely the actual story was the father in law carried one throughout Europe and after the war went out and bought one because of how much he liked it. I don't believe any one was allowed to take their service weapons home with them (other than some possible extremely rare circumstances, though a few may have smuggled them home) Now I don't think the seller was purposely lying to you, it sounds more like the seller has no real interest in firearms. He probably inherited it, has no interest in it and decided to sell it, and gave you the story that he had originally misheard, because he was not very interested in firearms, from years ago.

I don't think there is a best firearm, since those scifi channel creatures come in all shapes and sizes. But if I had to pick something it would be something like an AR-10 or M1A, since I figure .308 should cover every thing up to T-Rex size while still being small enough and maneuverable enough to deal with large numbers of smaller creatures. This topic reminds me of a dream I had a few months ago. In that dream I was at my parents house with my relatives as we waited for an approaching hurricane, that we were expecting to be more than just be a hurricane. I was standing on the front steps watching the storm come in, clouds growing dark, wind picking up, some slight rain starting. Across the street in the neighbors back yard a dog starts howling and then I spot them. Three small raptors running though the backyards of those houses across the street, which then eat the dog. I than headed inside and said "Well It looks like this storm is going to bring a Dino outbreak. I'll grab the guns" (which news of did not surprise anyone) and went up to the attic to grab all my guns and ammunition to start passing them out. "M1 Garand, grab the red boxes of .30-06, Mini-14 grab the .223/5.56, Mossberg 500 grab the 12 ga., Lee-Enfield .303, ...etc". Next I called up my grandfather to see if he was going to be alright, to which said "I'll be fine, we are fortifying the community center of the retirement village and turning it into a C&C Center" Of course because this was a dream I could see what was going on there, and I saw a bunch of old military vets setting up defensive positions carrying old military and hunting rifles. Some people were even wearing their old combat gear. I knew he was going to be fine. Then some long time family friends showed up, who live near Oyster Creek Nuclear power plant. with to AR-15s. The figured it was safer to come to my parents place than stay at there place because as everyone knows Nuclear Power Plants + Hurricane + Dinosaurs is pretty much a guaranteed recipe for disaster. We then started discussing whether or not we should find a more solid structure to hold up in since a house does not offer much protection from the larger dinosaurs. Then sadly my alarm went off and I woke up. It was one of the most awesome dreams I have ever had. So screw the Zombie Apocalypse, I want a Dino Apocalypse.!

Don't forget also that the same acronym/abbreviation means different things to different MOS even within the same branch.

I think I know the answer to this one. There was a prior director of the CDC that was very anti gun, who thought along the same lines as "we need to brain was the people into disliking guns". In order to do that he needed some studies that "proved" firearms were bad, so he decided to create those studies. He justified the CDC performing those studies based on the Idea that you can treat "gun violence" like a disease. Using that justification he had the CDC start preforming studies that proved "guns are bad". That went on for a while until The NRA managed to get a bill passed that stopped the funding of studies for anti gun purposes. After that the final conclusion that the CDC reached was gun violence could not be treated like a disease, and that was the end of it, and they stopped doing studies into "gun violence" Now to the anti's of course, since the CDC was putting out "studies" that "proved" guns were bad were stopped from doing those biased studies trying to prove a prior conclusion, and stopped doing gun violence studies, they like to claim that the NRA stopped all "gun violence" studies. The reality though of course it only stopped bias ones and the CDC stopped doing those studies after their unbiased study concluded they could that the "gun violence" is a disease hypothesis was wrong. That leads to the current situation in which since the anti's believed that if the CDC would start doing "gun violence" studies again those studies would continue to "prove" that firearms were bad for them. Unfortunately for them it appears that the current director is not heavily biased as that previous one was so the new studies are not what they were really hoping for.

Rare was probably the wrong word with less common being a better description. I am just really kicking my self for not picking it up, since my gut was telling me to pick it up but I ignored it as I already had spent my self imposed limit (well okay I was a little under but that Mauser would have put me over).

So I was at a gun show and found this M1896 It has a scope base mount which serial number matches the bolt and the butt plate. I am not seeing a serial number stamped on the receiver, and things like the magazine plate, barrel bands, and bolt removal lever have different. The sticker on the butt stock reads "Kontrollerad av tekniker" which acourding to the google translation translates to "Checked by technician" The receiver is stamped 1908. I did make a terrible mistake while I was at the gun show while I had been browsing I cam across a M98 Mauser that a dealer had amongst all the new black rifles (my guess is he got it as some part of a trade or something) for $200 I had only glanced over it real quick, it had a 7.62 stamped on the receiver, before moving on. It was not until I had left and was half way home that it clicked, and I believe that Mauser was actually a pretty rare specimen. See that Mauser had two 6 sided stars stamped on it as well which indicated it was one of the ones Israel had acquired, and means they were the ones to that converted it to 7.62. Now that alone not super special, as the Israelis had gotten quite a few k98's, except that rifle was not a k98 Mauser, it was dated 1917. How much was that rifle worth, I don't have any clue other than it was probably worth at least the $200 it was being sold for.

This is nothing fancy just some clips I made of me shooting which I plan on using for some YouTube videos where I talk about the history of different firearms. (though that probably will not be for 3-4 weeks until I complete the first one since I need to find a good 3d video editor and learn to use it) So If you have a the ability to watch 3d videos you may enjoy these small clips for now, though if you can not watch 3d they are watchable in 2d as well. You will probably want to put them on the best resolution so the look descent. Edit: In order to watch it in 3d properly you may need to follow the video back to the YouTube page depending on your browser

Now I have not really been watching the news on this case but it seems every time I catch the main networks talking about the case they seem to present the news as if Zimmerman is guilty and there will be a guilty verdict. Now from other sources that I have real it seems like he is innocent. So my question assuming that the main stream media is giving a very biased view of this case, and getting people stirred up enough that they riot because they believe there has been a miscarriage of justice, Could the Main stream media be sued for causing the riots if it is shown that if it were not for there highly biased reports on the subject the people would not have gotten mad enough to riot.

I suggest Baer Premium paint and some fine paint rollers. A real truck don't need no stinking fancy paint job.

I really Like this one Can imagine the reaction if they did that nowadays. It does not even look like its an actual range they are using, just some hallway, with my guess would be some home made portable bullet catcher.

I don't think I will ever reach that point where I am not lusting after some firearm. I probably will reach a point though where I can no longer afford/ have the space/justify spending any more money on firearms.

I am really glad to hear that you were able to take a chunk of the votes large enough to make the chief take notice of your constitutional positions. While it may not be exactly what we want it is a step in the right direction.

I never really understood why people make such a big deal about doctors asking the question if there are guns in the house. I get the whole privacy thing and all, but what's stopping you from just saying No. Saying no solves the entire problem which unlike simply refusing to answer which most people will take as a yes, especially if you have answered all the rest of the questions. And who know, if God forbid the anti's ever got there dream of creating a list of all gun owners, maybe just maybe by saying no may cause them to misfile your name as a non gun owner.

Thats not really dumb. Every caliber that you can think of started one of two ways, either it was originally made for some new firearm, or a company decided to take an exsisting firearm and create a new cartridge for it. either way at one point for most cartridges there was only one firearm that shot it.

Because I enjoy shooting, I like historical stuff, because it is my right, and as a big FU to idiots that can't think logically on the subject.

Well on paper it is a 72. In reality I am not sure other than it is probably not a 72. I am pretty sure someone switched vin numbers on it in the UK so they could get it road tax exempt, since the laws their only cars made in 73 and before are road tax exempt. My best guess is it is its between 74-79. Body wise the fenders are not stock, and in the picture the rear fender is missing. Interior on the other hand and engine are all out of an 1980's MG metro with some custom made fiber glass pieces thrown in for good measure.

Yes I am. I got it in 2009 and been using as my daily driver ever since. It's quite easy to work on, though like any old car you will have to be willing to put work into it. How much work of course depends on the specific vehicle, some are in great shape, others may be in very rough shape. I did a 3000 mi trip from Montana to VA towing my mini with it last year, and it did quite well. I averaged 18 MPG for the trip by keeping my speed limited to 55 MPH. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forum.php Are some very good forums to find out information on them (or just about any military vehicle). Overall they are pretty good vehicles, but expect stuff to break occasionally they are all 25-30 year old truck. So if you are looking for a daily driver it may not be the best choice (like every other vehicle that age), without going over everything with a fine tooth comb.

I drive a 1984 Chevy M1009, which is basically a bare bones k5 Blazer that came with a 3/4 suspension, 6.2L diesel, a TH400 transmission, a 12/24 volt hybrid electrical system, and a gun rack for two M-16's, made specifically for the military.

May be he should have just tried that old joke. Hang up wait a munute than call back and say "I just called about an intruder, just calling back to say don't worry about it I shot him and hang up." Police get there real fast than when the ask "I thought you shot him" he could reply "I thought you said no one was currently availiable."

Could you show the video to a bunch of people and have them all show up as witnesses. "I saw "bulpup" on the day of question minutes or seconds before he got pulled over on this road which makes it imposible for him to have done what that officer said he did." It's not lying because if they watched the video they did see you on that road shortly before you got pulled over.

Wait if thats the best they can come up with, well don't worry I have one better for them. "STOP WAISTING ALL THE CURRENT TAX MONEY YOU COLLECT!" Well I just solved one goverment problem in all of two seconds, so I have time to solve a few more, so next problem.

That really makes me want to put one on the back of my truck. The problem is it just would not look right.

Double post by accident

Once a LAW has been fired the tube is useless. Unlike a bazooka or a machine gun it can not be reloaded, so its just scrap metal. Now thats not to say that if the police were to raid your place for whatever reason, they would not try to carge you with haveing a class 3 weapon initialy, but those charges should eventually be dropped unless the police are currupt, but than you probably have bigger problems that would need to be delt with.
