Am I the only one who doesn't get the whole deal behind magpul. I mean, I don't think I've ever really seen anything they've made that I like. Perhaps I am speaking firearm blasphemy, but I just don't get it. I mean, I don't see the point of the FMG9. It's not really THAT "concealable". It doesn't look inconspicuous in my opinion. Furthermore it's really just a glock with a clunky case. As for their AR parts, I don't see how they're any better than cheaper parts put out by other companies. I just do not understand the hype behind magpul. I'm just curious if I'm the only one who feels this way, I mean, not everyone here can be a fan of Magpul, or am I the only one.

I remember this. Funny how a large group of legally armed people can protest, and there won't be one incident. Yet a large group of people can protest capitalism, and there are tons of rapes, a few murders, drug use, crapping on cop cars, etc. But then again, we're the "dangerous radicals" in the media's eyes....

Surprisingly, this doesn't piss me off. Actually, I think it will end up being one of my favorite movies, it looks pretty cool.

It was what was recomended by Bob's Little Sport shop.... I mentioned it was a bolt action, I just wasn't sure what would be the best thing out of what they had there...

You mean that I can't simply throw loaded firearms around? I figured setting them on fire, tossing them, dropping them, cleaning them while loaded were all completely safe things to do!

Good to know. Now I just have to see if my friends want to go. If I'm able to go, anyone in the area can come with me haha!

Haven't been to the Eagle Arms show, but I went to the Philly armory show, being it's only about 30 minutes from where I live. It was okay, but honestly I was hoping for more stuff. It seemed pretty small, and stuff there was relatively expensive. It was fun either way though, so, if I were you, go to one of them at least! Also glad you brought this to my attention, I think I'll be done school then, maybe I'll go to one of those shows. If someone can post some info on them, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, that's how I feel. I shot corrosive out of it back in December or January, did a quick clean on it, but I dont think it was truly suffecient, as I only had .22 patches. Gave it something more thorough yesterday, and worried I'd see pitting or rust. It still looked brand new. The old milsurp rifles can sure as hell take some abuse haha. Part of it was just that it didn't feel like it was as smooth operating as before I cleaned it. The oil I used is usually used for black powder weapons. I stopped up at Bob's Little yesterday to pick up more Hoppes, and figured I'd rub a little oil on the metal to prevent rust. They didn't seem to have too much in the way of il, but the clerk recommended this stuff for black powder made from Tallow. Seems to have worked alright.

I cleaned my VZ24 yesterday, and decided I should clean the action, and the bolt itself. I looked online for most of that stuff, and I'm pretty sure I did it properly. I used a nylon brush on the actual bolt mechanism, and hardly any Hoppes with it. However, I'm wondering if the bolt needs to be better lubricated. I have some oil, but I imagine that's not what I'd want to use. I imagine the best thing would be to put a little grease on it, but I'm not sure what type to use. I know there's the grease the army uses for AR parts, but I'm not sure if it would be good to use on a VZ 24. At the same time, I want to make sure there's not a lot of friction and wear going on between the surfaces. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm thinking (hoping) that it's only going to trial to get people to stop complaining about it. I don't believe the evidence supports cold blooded murder. I imagine the powers that be assume that if Zimmerman at least has a day in court and is found not guilty, it will shut the masses up. Unless of course they are hoping for a guilty conviction which would throw into doubt the power of the Stand Your Ground law, and provide a basis for getting rid of it.

Thanks! I've heard stuff about all that, someone told me that ALL AR barrels had M4 feed ramps, which didn't seem right to me. Glad you cleared this up, otherwise I may have ordered the wrong parts.

Not yet. I'm currently getting parts now, and plan to do the actual build in May when I get off for the summer. I figured I should get Iron sights first, and I'm planning on getting the flip up kind. Later on I'm not sure if I'll get a scope, or a reflex sight, or what.

Tried it out, pretty cool. It's sort of sad though, I'm in Camden County, about 20 minutes from philly. There's 2-3 gun stores in my area. Right across the river there are 6-7.

You do that now-a-days and you'll have SWAT on you... Going to do another Tally tomorrow, and see what we're at.

bump, wouldn't mind getting an upper someone has lying around....

Ah, I forgot to specify that I'm not buying a package. I just happen to like both their A3 Upper, and 20" barrel. Because I'm looking for a different rail, and a low-profile gasblock with no front sight post, I have to order both of those parts individually.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to try one or two more ranges/gun shops in the area, and if not I'm going to try home depot. I can work full time for a few months, until school starts again, so I was looking for places that get busy around the summer season.

Haha, actually, that's pretty much how I feel, I just thought that what happened here was taking it to a whole new level haha.

Unfortunately, they actually have a waiting list to work there. Yes, it was a gun store. However, I have not given up on getting a job at a range, or gun store for the summer. I plan to check around a few more local places. Otherwise I'll try for a place like Home Depot, though it will be nowhere near as enjoyable as a job at a gun store. I thank you guys for all the wishes for good luck! I'm going to stick with it, and with the way that gun sales have been going, I'm sure SOMEONE will need some help!

Now with the M4 feed ramps on the barrels, does that make them incompatable with certain uppers or Bolt Carrier Groups? I'm looking at a Stag Upper and barrel, but I'm not sure if a different BCG or something wouldn't be compatible due to M4 feed ramps.

I will admit I hate the fact that he's anti-gun, but Rob Andrews has taken care of my family in the past. The problem is that in NJ most elections are between Democrats, and RINOs from what I see. It's like a choice between a punch in the mouth and a kick in the a**.

As far as I'm concerned, NJ is pretty much a lost cause. Like my great (times 8 I believe) grandfather did on a particular Christmas, I'm crossing the Deleware, but I'm not coming back. Of course, despite low voter turn out, and despite over 1million NJ gun owners, these people still get reelected all the time, I suppose this is what we deserve for not taking a more active role.

Take a look at this video I saw on yahoo. Apparently this 17 year old made a mural for her school.... http://news.yahoo.co...e-28921725.html I forgot that I should sum it up for those who can't, or don't want to watch the video. A girl did a mural for her school depicting a boy passing through various stages in his life. In the end, he is married with a woman and a kid. THAT was the offensive part, as it did not include those with "alternate lifestyles." Apparently some mother and her kid got butt hurt by that. The school then painted over the "offensive" part. The student who painted it has apologized for offending anyone.... I should mention, I'm a supporter of gay rights, but this annoyed me.

Already have my a**-kicking music picked out. Haha, a**-kicking music, funny since I first heard the one song in the movie Kick-a**. When something happens, and my group and I split up, and I'm traveling by myself, there is only one song I can think of that could embody the lonely desolate feeling accompanying a long trip ahead of me. A trip where my only company are demented beings who desire nothing but to consume my flesh. This will be the song that will play (at least in my head) when I see a good looking girl about to be over run by zombies, and I come just in the nick of time. Marlboro Red 100 in my mouth, Winchester in hand, I make short work of the undead scourge. When me and the girl have to take to the road in a hot-wired truck, and race to save people we know (while mowing zombies down in the car) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGkV-YZDSy4 When I think the girl may have been killed. When I find her safe in the end, and it gets all romantic. And my theme song would be "Germaniac" by Die Krupps. I couldn't think of any song that's just a total F--- Sh-- up song though for the awesome gunslinging, lead-flying action scene... Oh, and in the event of a robot apocalypse...

bump. Come on guys! You have stuff you want to get rid of, and I want to buy that stuff!
