Screwball

Thanks. I actually found 3 boxes of this. https://www.lohmanarms.com/mobile/product.aspx?ProductCode=BR762X39BL Last ones, so sorry for anyone looking. Seems to be the same as the Brown Bear that is also on the site you linked... which said it was the same as Com-Block stuff in regards to pressure. Should be a little lighter that yours. Happy it is non-corrosive. How is the fitment on your Yugo? Also, how was the accuracy? I probably will try it out once or twice... then leave it in the safe as a cool toy. Always wanted to use that sight since I got my Yugo... well, actually since I got all the Cosmoline off of it.

You do realize you just made me buy one with that video... right? Where did you get the blanks from?

I've purchased rifle ammo from MidwayUSA before. Not understanding how they demanded it for rifle ammo when I've never needed to supply it before... If you click the link, there are a few states that this pertains to. They give examples of what each resident needs to comply with legislation. Ever think that this round of emails/webpages were written to work with all affected persons? I'm sure some places were not able to purchase ammo at all. I just sent in the copy of the FID today so I wouldn't have to worry about it in the future... I did add that I'm disappointed in how long a system took to be in place. I got a reply in like five minutes. I just purchased handgun ammo elsewhere... never knew I could have emailed them a copy to comply (that actually pisses me off). I did purchase .44 Magnum ammo through them prior, as I purchased it from the rifle ammo section (should have argued that my CX4 shoots 9mm).

Did they just open? Was going to stop in last week with my girlfriend and shoot the GSG5, but didn't want to waste a trip.

Just for information, I contacted Howell Gun Works, and they said they do it.

Just looking to see if anyone can recommend a good gunsmith near Howell to fit a cylinder on a 642-1 J-frame. I'm getting a converted 9mm cylinder so I can go with either caliber. My 642-1 is redone in NP3-Plus, and I'll be sending the cylinder/crane assembly to Robar to match afterwards. I had a trigger swapped on the same gun years ago at Shore Shot, but not really looking to go there after having two lamps cracked on my Beretta PX4 when they did the night sight install. Thanks and Happy Memorial Day.

I pump my own at times... sorry, but if there is a lot of cars and one guy, I'm doing my best to get out of there as quick as possible. I look at it as cutting down idling...

Scorpio64, I hear you, but it would be beneficial to you in regards to magazines. Beretta magazines are flooded in the market since the M9. Hi Point magazines aren't that common.

I don't think most choose a CX4 due to looks. Don't get me wrong, the Hi Point works, but the CX4 does the same A LOT better. Magazine compatibility with 92 magazines is a big win, due to how many are out there. Have a Cougar (Beretta or the still made Stoeger) or a PX4? Can run those in it, too. I got mine to use my 92 Brigadier Inox magazines, but it is now setup to take my 9mm PX4 magazines (purchased it a few years after I got the CX4). Controls and ejection are pretty much able to be swapped for lefties... with the exception of the bolt release (can be worked around by tugging the bolt handle). Is it a push button ejection change like the ARX platform? No, but at least there is the capability for those Southpaws. Manual of arms is easy for anyone who shoots common semiautomatic pistols, and very user friendly. I've heard complaints of the safety... but it is a cross lot safety (hard to mess up). For me, I looked at Hi Points and KelTec (old one, not the newer generation). Hi Point magazines killed it for me... being nothing I own used them. KelTec was nice, but I prefer last shot bolt hold open. I also didn't like the tube design with the handle below. Could I have trained around it? Of course, but if I rather the operation of the CX4, why? Even though it would be very late to the game, I think a Glock version of the CX4 would be the winning design, but I'd actually hope S&W would do one that takes M&P magazines. That would be full of win, especially with S&W designers.

Did you change your original post? Only reason I ask is because I'm pretty sure it said Comp ML3 when I posted... The Comp M4 is a good sight, but again, the PRO does similar for a lot less (about half). Grab three of the batteries, and you got enough for three years. Add them in your next MidwayUSA order and you'll barely notice it.

The two Trijicons have magnification, so if you keep it under 50 yards, kind of pointless. Aimpoint would be my vote. If you needed to extend the range out, you can always add a magnifier. However, I do have to ask on why you picked the Comp ML3? You can save some money by going with the PRO. Very similar specs, same battery, and also has night vision settings. Plus, you get the mount. It is probably one of the more commonly picked Aimpoints due to its features per cost.

One guy had some refinished... he wanted somewhere near $700 for a PU sniper. Don't remember what the other rifles were, but I want to say $250-$300. Other PU snipers (regular ones like could have been picked up from AIM Surplus when they had them) were in the $650 range. The standard 91/30s were from $180-$225. Most looked good, one or two I saw needed some more cleanup... but $200 Mosin Nagants are not my thing, unless there are a crap load for me to go through and find the one I want. I remembered a guy with a crate of them at the last show I went to... and it seemed he had about a third left in that same crate. Saw a few Mausers that interested me, at a reasonable price... but didn't take any home. I ended up with some meat sticks, a shirt, and some ammo. Even with that, there was still a lot of higher priced stuff. I wanted to get some surplus 7.62x25mm for my Yugo Tokarev. There was a guy in the center of the middle room that wanted $50 per 72 round box. Turned and walked away. In the far room, I found the same ammo at $25 a box. Also had the 14 round boxes of surplus 7.62x38mm Nagant ammo at $6 per box. That is what I came for the show to get, but didn't get any 7.62x54mm (what I found was not clear on what it was; wanted to get some loose heavy ball). My girlfriend's father came, and he is into knifes. We stopped by a German collector booth in the first room, and was interested in the military daggers. They were higher priced, but wanted to know the pricing on ones that were not marked. The guy sold a Hitler Youth knife/sheath and belt to a guy for $600, but would not give us the time of day. Sucks being we both had about $1,200 between us. Her father also saw a large brass eagle sculpture as we were leaving (he likes eagles), but the lady just didn't act like she wanted to sell it. It wasn't as big as I expected, but too many people who were constantly in a rush to look at stuff because you were looking at it or be where you wanted to be. As I mentioned, there was a few Mausers I looked at. One Yugo M48 I really liked, which was adjacent to a rack that a guy was looking at a Mosin Nagant (might have been something else, but I know there were a few on there). He had a rifle slung over his shoulder, but while looking at the other gun, had to lean backwards so the barrel almost hit me in the head. I'm ducking to miss it, and leaned closer to the rack he was at to try and look at a second Yugo, and it must have pissed him off because he rolled his eyes and walked off. Walking down the aisles, I had one person literally walk and stop right in front of me, like he was confronting me, adjust his belt, then go back to the side he came from like I wasn't even there. Might have been worth my $12, but really didn't feel like I should have spent the time there. For the people going on Sunday, I heard a lot of the sellers discussing if they were going to come back for the last day... and I was shocked of how many said they were going to head home tonight.

I originally had a M44, and hated the straight bolt (sold it). Got this setup from Impact Guns (wanted a PU sniper to go with my M1903 USMC sniper reproduction), and happy with the turned down bolt... more info on it below. Stock is a little more, then more magazines to buy ($15 or so each). But I do agree, that is an option. I really am not a fan of a polymer Mosin Nagant. It is a rifle I'd want to have wood on. There isn't any way to go that route with higher capacity... with this being the exception. There was another design, but the guy working on it passed away. I've heard talks about Brass Stacker following through with it, but this one is actually sitting in my safe, now.

Every time I go to that Oaks gunshow, Mosin Nagants are like $175 and up for a standard 91/30 (and then you got tax and NICS). I just picked up one of these... Posting those, since it does give mostly all the info on the extension. Really solid design. Would have no issue using it as a monopod... if it came down to it. Feeds ten rounds as the standard setup fed five. But I do have to say that you do notice it in regards to weight. You really can adjust it depending on your rifle. Both of the contact points have adjustment. With the amount of differences between Mosin Nagants, it is nice to be able to not hear rattles. The designer is the same guy that makes those bayonet socket muzzle breaks (I've had one for a few years, and been happy with it). Yes, it is expensive ($150, shipped), but loading more than five rounds into a Mosin Nagant makes it all worth it to me. No permanent modifications is also a win.

Large MidwayUSA bag, here... couldn't be happier. Never had a time where I needed to bring something and didn't have space. Only thing I wished for would be if I could lock some compartments. Not for any other reason than to keep honest people honest when my back is turned and I'm shooting... especially with the cost of ammo.

Yes and no... The mistake was information that the ATF put out that said the M855 exemption was revoked (meaning it was banned). They are still looking to make it illegal. It is not over yet... don't consider it a victory.

I think Jeff Quinn made the suggestion, but the easiest way to load .45 ACP into those is a 1911 magazine. Flip them into the loading gate as you spin the cylinder.

There are Ruger single actions that have .45 ACP capability... My New Vaquero in .45 Colt, with .45 ACP conversion cylinder. Works just the same as the rimmed round.

I have a Glock 30S, so it is similar to the 19, just in .45.

Sorry for trying to help...

Best suggestion I could make is actually the Crimson Trace laser grips... Dry fire practice, and just watch that dot jump as you pull the trigger. Do it enough so the movement isn't as drastic... CONSISTENTLY! Also, do it at further ranges, like 20 yards, if possible. You'll be surprised at the amount of movement there is. Save your ammo and once you have the trigger pull down, then practice at the range hot.

Sorry, but if your magnifier is behind the red dot and the target, your dot size compared to target DOES NOT change... With a 3x magnifier, a 2 MOA dot is still 2 MOA. That means at 100 yards, your dot represents 2". If you magnify the image, your dot is still 2" at 100 yards... just appears bigger. The dot and its relationship to the target hasn't changed, but the relationship of the sight picture to your eye has. It would seem like a 6 MOA dot, but your target is also 3x, so it cancels that out and results in the same 2 MOA dot, just looking bigger.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but figured it is the right place... Any plans to offer the steel reinforced ones that Magpul just announced?

I have the Magpul furniture on my 870 Police... really love it, and it is my bed gun. Length of pull is great to adjust, and cheek height makes it so much easier to get lined up with the sights. Having Remington rifle sights, I never had good luck with standard stocks, as it seems a bit low (bead sights... good to go). I would probably do the same with a Mossberg if I was setting it up similarly. I do have a 500, JIC2 with the bag. I put Hogue rubber pistol grip and forend on that, being I wanted a short overall length.

The CX4 is nice... I've had mine since 2007 (500 range serial number). Never an issue. Got mine to go with my 92 Brigadier Inox, but got a 9mm PX4 later. Got the parts to convert it, and have the ability to shoot either. SierraPapa parts are great, but break the gun in first before going for the trigger kit (all the other things related to the guide rod are definitely something to buy). I really didn't mind the stock trigger, as I've be shooting DA for years. The difference with the kit is night and day, but the costs were up there. The stock trigger is adequate, so try it before putting out the cash. The nice thing about the CX4 is that it is truly ambidextrous. Change the side the rounds eject, side the charging handle is on, and magazine release (can't swap the bolt release, but tugging the charging handle works the same). Compared to the KelTec, I think that makes the CX4 a nicer design.
