Kayaking is awesome. Much more fun than a canoe.I used to go alot with my daughter, we each had our own(long gone) and I also recommend going thru the saltwater back bays and marshes down in South Jersey. Brings back a lot of fond memories. Never even thought about licenses I dont think its an issue.

I focus on the outdoor activities there and dont have a clue to what changes you guys are referencing. Whats going on behind closed doors? I'll take a PM if it doesnt want to be aired out.

years ago I transferred 9K from my business acc't into a savings type acc't. End of month statements come and I see the 9K in my savings but not deducted from the business acc't.Figure maybe it got crossed in the monthly cycle crossover. FOUR months later still not deducted! So by now I've got the devil/angel whispering on my shoulder routine going on and its making me nuts. So I walked in , went to the branch manager and told her. Know what she said?- ok sir we'll look into it. No thankyou, no OMG's, no "we've been going crazy looking". Still have second thoughts but you gotta think sooner or later it'll catch up and didnt want to get any bad press altho it wasnt my fault.

Old G G- I was there yesterday too, did the same, pistol then 100 yrd line for a bit. What time where you there? You weren't that guy messing with your table during the cease fire I yelled at were you? Yep- great place during the week!

Lets be realistic. Its not like an indoor range where you close and lock the door, wipe your hands and done. Its a terrific range(es) but IMO everything administrative is an approxamation which is ok by me. You cant have a RO standing by the gate looking at his watch and backtracking 30 minute sunsets every day and closing the gate. What they should be saying is admittance stops about 90 mins prior to sunset, heres why. Say sunset is 8:00, that means the range "closes at 7:30.That then means the firing line shuts down about 7:00 or soon after to allow the guys time to finish the session, grab the targets, pack up, bs a few mins and drive out. And then theRO needs to drive all over the ranges to check.So to do get any real shooting time you need to be there by 6:00 to give yourself time to wait out a firing line and get your act together, get your target out there...Now having said all that I need to get my act together to get on over there

In my newbie 1911 interest I keep coming across the references to the guide rod "debate". What is the difference between the FLGR & the GI versions? Is it just a matter of takedown ease or more of function, reliability or whatever else? I'm not somuch interested in the purist 1911 aspect as the function of the gun.Thanx.

wouldnt call it lust but i'm getting more & more thoughts on an entry level 45- RIA 1911 keeps wispering in my ear.

Dbl check that cylinder wall for any scouring from valve pcs, looks maybe little more than burnt.Just saying from past experience.

Lets see- *poor location to receive any rain water *poor location to receive any nourishment from the natural soil for healthy root growth *gets roasted in the summer from the heat reflection off blacktop and house *exposure to winter salts/chemicals and any toxic minerals from the stone I think its time to quit, get a nice planter with some ivy/flora that can be easily watered from the hose or a can. Not sure how it even grew there, must hae been planted as a mature speciman?

Waiting for my son to come home from Afganastan- 4 more long weeks.

Last drive-in I went to was to see the Yellow Submarine (Beatles!) with mom, dad and 3 brothers in our 65 Chrysler wagon!

Thanx for the info.Bugs me to pay dbl on ammo but they got bills to pay too I guess.Sounds like a decent assortment of pistols to try, we'll be checking out 45's.

"No, their website won't elucidate much in that area. I would call them. They will respond via your email with a "call me" response" Thats probably good- don't like the sound of elucidating areas!

Wow- didnt know about this fireingline place and I'm just as close. Gonna check them out. So theres no prob being from NJ? Their website isnt very informative on the actuall range/gun use. If you've been there can you share some info?. I emailed but...

Ha! I was one of the guys on the 100 range today around lunchtime enjoying the weather. Then went to the pistol range which was practically empty and had one of "those" guys there. The one who is always oblivious to everyone waiting to go cold. Same guy called the line hot before I even got off the grass! Other guy looks at me , shakes his head and we both chuckle a bit then I walked near him and gave a big throw-out of the arms like in "WTF!". Later when it was his time to leave he yells line cold, hits the lights after 5 seconds and walks out as the two guys next to me are still messing with there guns. I yell yo yo at the idiot who was a good 15-20 feet out there and the two guys barely flag the guns and jump back! Good riddence and he was an older fellow too, shoulda known better. Two guys next to me maybe were new and looked at me a little bewildered. I said it was the idiots fault and not them.I too was talking to Scott today and the price of clays came up- cheap! Might have to take up shooting them now. just gotta figure out the shotgun scene now.So many guns to get, so little money

Years ago a simular situation happened with my neice. Roughly same age group and curcumstances.Long story short- no lawsuits but got the altercation documented and on file. As punishment for the aggressive kid the agreement was he had to run a lemonade stand all summer for something like 3 hrs a day or so and give the proceeds my neice. Now of course the aim wasn't the "financial" restitution but to humble the kid while his buddys were playing ball, biking whatever.Hopefully he grows up to be a brain surgeon but in case he turns to the dark side a reference can be made to his history.

Posted 22 April 2011 - 04:23 PM I've been watching this for a while and he just posted an update.This guy "TheDatamancer"(also has a youtube video) has a patent pending mag attatchment that replaces the floor plate/follower assembly with a fixed mag extension to hold 10 rnds that you still load from the top. He just posted a waiting/mailing list to get on so here it is: http://www.datamancer.net/mosinmags/

Sos down here in Wash DC altho there does seem to be a lot of zombiesqe type people walking around with glassy-eyed stares

Read it now, so its 10 prts, 9 to be safe. Just talked to Classic, the swapped parts are Tapco G2 TCG and the stock, and also said they worked on the magwell to accept the 30 mag.

Hey Vic- so basically to be 922 good its needs 9 or less countable foreign parts? 0ne or 10 American parts, doesnt matter? of course the gun wont run with just the one domestic part but thats the idea?

Classic Arms is selling them 7.62x39 already converted for $499.Problem is they come with 30 rnd mags and if thats a counted part where does that leave us hi-cap crippled states? I'd like to see the parts that were swapped and what they put in and what mag options that leaves us.Cant seem to find any info on them, maybe a call to Classic but I dont think the operaters will know much.

got curious and looked tetra up on ebay and it shows something like 20 different "kinds" from guns to di-lectric to industrial.... I'm guessing its all the same and its just a marketing thing?

Not bad. Almost one page on topic and 2+ pages of BS. I've seen worse. Thanks to the first few posters who had some helpfull info.

So how much does it suk to mount optics with a fixed handle? I'm sure its preferable having a flat top but if theres a really good deal on a BM xm15 and a fixed carry can I live with a handle-top scope? Any of you guys run w that?

So let me see- lighter bullets(55, under) are preffered for 1-9 and are cheaper. The more heavier bullets want the 1-7 twist. But what about performence over different distences? And can you still shoot the lighter bullets thro 1-7 and heavy bullets thru 1-9? If you could only have one barrell to mix it up what would that be?
