Drown it in beer. It's how I'd want to go.

What's your favorite gun that you own?
My favorite gun isn't even mine. My grandfather bought a Series '70 Colt 1911 in .45 new in the box. Manufactured in 1978. My grandfather was apparently a big benchrest type shooter, and regularly bought/sold stuff looking for the most accurate guns available. His 'thing' was smallbore competition benchrest shooting, and I mean to take his Anchuntz out one day. He upgraded the 1911 a bit and it certainly shoots better than I do. Looks pretty cool with blued frame/slide and nickel trigger/safety/magcatch. It's my dads gun now.

Swapping FSBs.
I'm building an A1 clone. I got a USGI Colt barrel for free luckily, but I feel kinda bad cutting the GI FSB to neuter the lug. There's a chance I'll be moving to PA in the nearish future, so I'm considering buying a used A1 USGI FSB and keeping it on hand for if I move. Can a competent Smith mate a used FSB with a used barrel?

Does donating to local PBA help score 'points'
I hear that if you donate enough you can get in the running for a CCW.

Need some reccomendations on tools. Sockets specifically.
I can't buy Harbor Freight. I'm not going to buy Chinese junk, and I'd break crap too much and I don't want to drive there often. I'm using these tools 40+ hours a week. Craftsman tools are decent, but they're Chinese nowadays and I refuse to buy foreign tools. I keep my wheels, tools, and guns (sans surplus) American. Buell, thanks for the offer but I'm too far away. I may just buy a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter for my breaker bar, and buy only the larger sized bits in 1/2".

Need some reccomendations on tools. Sockets specifically.
I need a set of 1/2" drive standard and communist metric sockets for work. Thing is... where did all of the affordable, American made tools go? I've been tool-shopping for awhile now and I can't find anything made here that isnt $150-200 for a dozen or so sockets. Craftsman went to China, Kobalt and Husky have been commie crap for awhile now (although I have some really nice older Kobalt wrenches), SK/Snap On are crazy expensive, and Matco/Cornwall/Proto I can't find anywhere. Here are my requirements: 1. Made in the US, and will be for some time. 2. Lifetime warranty. 3. No BS warranty replacement. I want to walk in with busted tools and walk out. 6 or 12 point I don't care. I already have everything except 1/2" drive sockets. All my ratchets are Snap-On which I bought off Ebay. I was going to buy SK sockets but Schaffer Supply in Dover is crazy expensive. I may just buy 3 sockets at a time.

So what do you drive?
Walt, what's the specs on your Lightning?

So what do you drive?
A 20 something year old F150. So far, it hasn't needed to be bailed out by the government and the floor mats haven't killed me. Also my truck isn't in communist metric for the most part.

Buy an older S&W model .357 revolver or get a newer model for daily range use?
To be honest, I don't notice a difference between the pinned and non pinned myself. I do know my dad's pinned Model 14 won't swap cylinders with my circa 1992 M64. I also know that M64 9mm conversions are somewhat popular, but at least one gunsmith won't work with the pinned barrel. Don't know why. I kinda want a pencil barrel 64 or 10.

What guns have their own calibers?
22 Jet.

I think the best S&Ws are the newest models prior to MIM parts. Not knocking the pinned barrels though.

Does 357 count?

Cop Coffee
A few years ago there was an incident down the street from my highschool (the Quick Check in Rockaway) where a town cop ordered six sandwiches or something to that effect and kinda just left the store expecting them to be free. The employees called 911 to report it as theft I think.

Import Albanian SKS
Yes a parts kit kills collector value. But it's better than nothing. If it were German, Korean, or Vietnamese...
-
Import Albanian SKS
I'd still have her disassemble the entire gun, and mail everything here except the barreled receiver. You can probably buy a junked receiver somewhere. I found a link on guns America where a barreled receiver sold for $50. They're out there.
-
Import Albanian SKS
Well, I am unfamiliar with the regulations on importing firearms parts, but your wife should be able to mail you a complete SKS sans receiver. I know I can mail a complete gun across country that way to whomever. Perhaps even on checked luggage. Again, I don't know exactly how things work but only the serialized part is considered a firearm per the ATF. I'd call an 01 FFL and see what they can do. Another problem is... Getting it out of Albania. That I don't know anything about. Also, Blue Line Fish, you're a nice guy but I have nothing in x39.
-
Import Albanian SKS
Or you can sell them here as parts kits less receiver... Without having to deal with an FFL. Also, I'm cutting in line and jumping in front of BLF. He probably has 50 SKS' already

Shotgun ammo questions...
Most people shoot slugs at the range. I'd recommend you get a regular barrel and try some skeet. It's fun.

Great truck option
It's cool, but also gimmicky. You're limited to not using tool boxes, tonneau covers, etc and I'll bet the bed is narrower. And it's a good idea to keep guns in a case. Cool idea none the less. Ford used to have storage in front of the back wheel in the 60's.

So my wife gets her FID and i don't "yet", question....
Yes. She can't buy a gun just to sell it to him later. There is, however, nothing to stop her from deciding to sell to anyone with an FID whenever she wants.

Ammo shortage starting to break?
How much are you guys paying for a brick? I'm lucky to have one brick. If only I could buy 223 at a fair price.
