That is truly fantastic. Who brought it back? Cpt. John J. Angelini? Do you know how it got to the dealer? My grandfather served in the Pacific. I never got to meet him (died when my Mom was 13), and most things of his were lost/stolen over time including several firearms. My Mom may or may not have a Japanese diary, she remembers that he had one but we think it is in a trunk that hasn't been opened for a few reasons. I'd love to get that translated. The only military relic we have otherwise is his dress uniform.

Thanks!

Borrowing an ultrasonic may be difficult. I'm going to attempt to use some brakleen and if that doesn't work, I will call Ruger and see if they could email me a manual or something. At the same time I will order a spring and probably an ejector too. I really didn't want to pull the glass either.

Some CLP and a pipe cleaner did not help. After a heavy amount of CLP, I got one ejection, then several ejections after messing with the bolt, then it was back to barely ejecting with playing with the bolt. What is it is it seems to be functioning fine and the ejector will be putting pressure on the case. I'll try some brake clean, but unfortunately the ejector is a major SOB to get out and requires removal of the sear to do so. I read it was horrific.

I have a Ruger M77 Mark II target in 223 which I believe is a Mauser style action. It does not want to eject spent brass. I can pull the bolt back, and the brass will just hang on the boltface with the ejector the sitting on the brass. If I move it forward a 1/16" then back again, it will eject. Suggestions? I am going to try cleaning again.

I have an 03 Mark 1 with what looks like a GI straight stock and a possibly repro handguard. I would like to rub the stock with cheesecloth and BLO as per the CMP. Is there any reason not to do this? Or anything better to do? Rifle is not bubbaed and has a 1942 SA barrel.

There are DOT approved ones. Generally you can have whatever you want so long as you are not running them on the road. Anything DOT approved that isn't roof mounted is fine on road. I like KCs.

Better question... What did you buy?

Either a 1970 Torino GT or a 1969/70 Charger Daytona/Plymouth Superbird. I have a POS 65 Mustang in my garage, and I feel they're too common even though I love mine.

I'll be the one to say it. I like Colt. I drink the Kool-Aid and I want a bunch of Pony guns (a Mustang, Defender, lightweight Commander, my dad's 1970's Series '70 and Detective Special, an SP1, and a midlength 6920). I know, boo-hiss government contracts. Also, to infuriate everyone else, I think S&W makes a better revolver. I have only messed around with a Detective Special and various Smiths, but the S&Ws have much better triggers. Supposedly Pythons have a much better trigger, but they also tend to go out of time more often and a S&W action is generally more long-lasting and user serviceable. Also, I think the S&W cylinder release is significantly better especially in a stressful situation. I do love the size of the DS though, it's like a six shot J-Frame.

Kudos to Taurus for being innovative. It looks like it is easy for a new shooter to put a hand in front of the pipe, though.

I remember this place....long time ago. I remember it had an "Army/Navy" store that was IIRC all paintball stuff which was fine with me. I bought a 14" JnJ Ceramic barrel there. The only other place I remember was a sandwich shop that was hideously 70's yellow/green. Overall I liked the place. The Farmers Market in Quakertown is very similar, just much bigger.

Old news, unfortunately.

If it gets implemented, a pass for the league would be nice All kidding aside, I know a lot of people (myself included) would like to go shooting weekly but weekends are always occupied with stuff and Friday nights people go out. Monday through Thursday people simply go home and do nothing. I see you guys are now open until 8pm on Monday and Tuesday and 10pm on Wednesday/Thursday. If either of those nights are particularly slow, it may not be a bad idea to convert one to a "league night". One issue you may have is those with memberships. It MAY cause some people to drop memberships and just participate in leagues. You would need to find a happy medium between those with memberships and those that want to shoot in leagues. Perhaps one league for non-members, and one for members where buy in is a small fee. Also, Peter, I must say I am very impressed with how RTSP has grown. Seems like just a year ago I was ecstatic to hear a range popped up in my backyard.

I haven't shot there since you guys remodeled. Nothing personal, I just am more of a rifle person and I think shooting rifles indoor is a bit obnoxious. I've always said a "league" setup would be a fun thing. Basically emulate tuesday night bowling leagues, it could be fun. It seems that many people want to go shooting on a weekly basis and it would be an excellent reason to be open late one night. Something like 12 weeks, $200, 1.5 hours per week in some sort of competitive fashion. Maybe 33% of range time dedicated to competitive shooting, and 66% fun shooting. Competitive shooting can mix up every week, from bullseye one week to busting static clays in a timeframe the next. It would motivate people like me to join.

Sarco is the disneyland of old surplus crap. Go for the experience and huff the cosmoline.

I'm looking to buy 6x CR123 rechargeable batteries and a charger. This is mostly for screwing around with flashlights and no serious work. I am buying regular CR123 batteries for anything important. I see on ebay most bundles include cheap batteries and a "universal smart charger". The charger concerns me because it also charges everything else and "Cheap" "Ebay" and "universal" don't mix well. Are they a hazard? So long as they aren't a waste of money I will likely pick one up. I am stocking a small amount of real batteries, but it just that my dad burns them up taking the dogs out and stuff. It would be nice to have some POS rechargeables. I would like my investment to be under $20.

Do you reload? If you shoot both calibers well, and you don't reload, I think it comes down to if you want to stock another caliber. It's nice to have less calibers, but 9mm is much cheaper.

I went today. Had fun, lots of good prices and interesting stuff.

I try to hit my dad with brass. I've seen a guy set up a 50 cal can to deflect his brass from hitting me. I appreciated his concern.

Forcing people to stop on the highway isn't okay.

There are no dedicated 9mm 1911s that I know of. AFAIK they're all "full size" guns chambered in 9mm. This is a complete 1911 just scaled down.

I'm curious if it was a drunk guy and someone with a warrant who were hopelessly stupid and ran out of gas... ..or two scumbags who "ran out of gas" and wanted a new car.

This is my all around gun. I do carry it. Vlad, I forget what the style of these sites are but they're pretty indestructible.
