It's impossible to get anything chromed around NJ. You're going to have to ship it out of state. Besides, that's a Chevy, valve covers are dirt cheap.

Mattel is on our side?
Well... they made original M16 stocks.... For those of you wondering.. it's oldschool GI folklore that the plastic stocks were made by Mattel, that made it onto the internet at somepoint. Completely fake, but there were enough people who thought plastic was stupid on a rifle and called it a toy. Total missprint on RIA. Also, I just realized that the sling is backwards and possibly of the wrong material for an early SP1.

hmmm mpro 7 or froglube?
I like oldschool CLP. It smells like bananas.

A public service announcement.
I don't shave blind because I have a beard and need to see what I'm doing. However, I'll say once you shave once or twice with a DE, it's really no different than a modern razor. I wouldn't hesitate to shave without a mirror if I wasn't worried about missing spots and such.

School me on welders
I appreciate the input guys. Also, thank you especially I'm either going to borrow a welder, or buy one from HF. I know a lot of you guys suggest "buy once, cry once", and while I'm the same way, I absolutely cannot justify buying a nice welder. Also, you're right dh-wp. I flashed myself real bad once when I was learning to weld and it was not a fun day. Edit: For kicks and giggles, someone told me that it is possible to weld using car batteries, jumper cables, and welding rod. I looked it up, I dare not try it but its fascinating that its possible.

We're number 1! We're number 1!
I'm really not. I realize there are a lot of crappy places in Newark, and I also know how easy it is to get mugged here. I've been in most places in this city and so long as you aren't stupid you will be fine. A lot of it is knowing how to act and dress, and knowing where not to be at the wrong time.

Newark isn't THAT bad these days.

Salt shotgun rounds for birds
Birdshot 22lr or 12/20/410? I don't think the little snake 22lr shotshells will kill a squirrel and a shotgun in an attic had to be something fierce.

Rifles hidden in plain sight... Pretty interesting idea
I've always wanted a safe behind a painting because it is practical and has the Bond effect.

S&W Model 10 VS Ruger GP 100
Unless you are dead set on 357....Model 10 (or 64, same thing in stainless) hands down. I'm not going to beat a dead horse, but S&W makes a fine revolver. Model 10/64's can be had for cheap on LEO trade ins all day and you can get a nice prelock as well. I'll also take a forged handgun over a chunky investment cast block any day. I think it is silly that so many people demand 357s... I initially wanted one, but there isn't much of a point. Most shooting is done with 38s, and I would rather have a 38 in a HD situation especially at night.

Point me to an AR tool list
You need a punch set as well. I also cheated and used a barrel wrench with a torque wrench and left it at that to assemble my upper. Its been awhile but I may have used vise grips to install my bolt catch.

School me on welders
I forgot to add, I may consider a HF mig although I REALLY don't want one. I'll post the one I'm looking at below. Secondly, I realize that the floors look kinda crappy in the pic, but thats mostly crud sitting on them. Except for the obvious holes they are pretty solid and I can get away with patching. Edit: Forgot the links http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/mig-flux-welders/90-amp-flux-wire-welder-68887-8494.html http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/jobsmartreg%3B-125-amp-mig-fluxcore-welder The HFT welder is about $90 (112 plus the famous HFT 20% coupon), 90 amp, 3/16 maximum diameter. The TSC is $130, 125 amp, 3/16 maximum diameter as well and same duty cycle. The TSC is probably a better welder although they're all low end chinese. I would assume more aperage=better at welding thick stuff, so the TSC welder welds 3/16 easy and HFT welds 3/16 like a dog. Home depot has a nice 1/4" rated one but its about $180 and out of budget. I know you all will suggest I get a better welder, but I want a Hi-Point, not a Glock or S&W or Colt. I will almost never use this.

School me on welders
Dude.... What do you consider cheap? The cheapest on that website is $750. I don't need the Snap-On of Welders when I'm going to use this once every three years. I buy brand name on stuff I use often, or I have a genuine need for. I have absolutely NO need for an expensive welder. I would love a quality Miller welder along with an auto tinting mask, and a lathe, and a Bridgeport mill but I can't afford this stuff. Real men don't sell tools, unless they drive a tool truck. Gas welder as in an argon tank hooked up to a welder, or using an oxy-acetylene tank? I don't feel like getting the tanks, but I do love using them. For some reason I really enjoy brazing and I have a lot of experience with it. I picked it up Saturday, and got it off of the trailer today but could only mess around with it for two hours and mostly just ripped out nasty carpeting. I'll get better pics and start a thread soon. The floors on this thing are surprisingly good. The passenger floor is near spotless and the drivers side is something I would not consider major. Underneath the car has light surface rust, but nothing bad that I can see. Frame rails are kosher too which is always a plus. The quarter panel rot in the pic is the worst part of the car and shouldn't be much of a patch job. Only bondo I can see is the front fenders, and probably the back window (can't see it, but I suspect it. Haven't tried a magnet). I wasn't in the market for a car, but I got a offer I couldn't refuse. I could easily sell it right now for a good deal more than what I paid for it.

School me on welders
Guys... I appreciate the input but I hate mig welders. I don't mean to be "that" guy that asks advice then tells everyone no, but I've never had luck with the things. I realize that they are vastly superior to stick welding, but I never had success with them. I know how easy it is to burn through sheet metal with an arc welder, and that a mig would be a better choice. Also.... I forgot to mention that I'm cheap. I would love to buy a Miller but it's out of my budget for now. Looking for under $150. I would like an honest opinion on one of these below. What I'm most curious about is roughly how thick I can weld. http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/arc-welders/70-amp-arc-welder-68888.html Thanks again.

School me on welders
I'm in the market for a small arc welder. I bought a 1965 Mustang that needs some holes patched in the floor along with eventually a patch in the 1/4 panel. I haven't welded in years, and even when I did I was mediocre at best so I'll likely have one of my friends weld the quarter panel when I decide to do it. That being said, I know very little about welders. I would like a 120v arc/stick welder because I only have 120v outlets and I was terrible with the wire welders in school. I'm only welding steel and I can't see myself welding more than 1/4" ever. Would something like the cheapo special Harbor Freight welders work for me? I don't see why I would need anything more than that for a car or truck. I'm never going to weld aluminum, frames or driveshafts or anything of the sort. The thickest I would ever weld would be the axletubes of a Ford 8.8", in which case I could have someone else weld it. Thanks.

Rifles hidden in plain sight... Pretty interesting idea
Looking in paintings, underneath beds, etc is home robbery 101. More often than not, any professional home robber will rip everything down looking for money or valuables. The only way I would feel secure hiding stuff around is either in the wall somehow, or affixed to the wall in a safe or something. Depending on the weapon it isn't too difficult to stow something in a wall or maybe furniture with a hidden door.

Possible move to PA - advice on the Allentown area?
You're not kidding. PAFOA has nice people on it, but I only lurk in my county section. Otherwise I stick here. I see Hodgie there too.

Two New ranges in North Jersey, Whippany and Wharton !!
Wait... Wharton? Borough? That's my old hometown. I can't find anything online. I'd be almost disappointed.

Rangers baby!!
Tickets went down on stub hub to about $50 the day before and $20 the morning of the game. I was going to go but it was too last minute. I will say, I think it felt cheap compared to LA. There was much more of a spectacle and whatnot. Johnny and the Asbury jukes looked run down. Not saying that the fanfare of LA was necessary but the Jersey Boys and Johnny looked like a joke. Also, I'm not counting on Schneider sticking around. Only because he is a free agent at the end of the year and I don't count on anyone staying after Zach walked. Also, I'm a tad angry with the organization, as I know they're better than that. They looked horribly unorganized after the first and could've easily smoked Henrik and not left Marty out to dry half of a dozen times.

Cheapest 7.62x39 barrel?
I want to shoot x39 and I can't get another rifle right now. What is the cheapest, bottom shelf, 7.62x39 barrel available right now? I would like something with a FSB mounted if possible. I currently have a SP1 clone. I want to buy a barrel, x39 bolt, then find a cheapo stripped upper somewhere. Swap everything over when I want to change calibers. I should just buy a $250 sks online but I hate buying guns online and local stores have scalpers prices on the things.

New MAJOR Score! IHC Garand but not a normal one.
I'd kill for an IHC mixmaster, let alone a matching M1D. I'm a scout fan.
