Steel gong construction.
I picked up the legs made by these guys...... https://shootingtargets7.com/ supply a 2x4 of whatever length and they are extremely sturdy and easy to carry. I tried building out of electrical conduit but my design skills kinda failed Hehe. I also really like this idea..... http://www.laststands.com/ supply your own rebar and these brackets hold it all together. Good luck and post up what you decide to go with!

Any shops in NNJ carry Rossi Circuit Judge?
Freehold usually has at least one in some version, the 410/45 or the 22lr/22mg. I have not been in there in a while so I cant say if they have one. I want to get a cowboy hat and some spurs when I get one for when I take it to the range........YIPPY KAY YAY! HA! Im always so tempted....but then I stroll over to the ammo and look at the prices of 45LC.

Any shops in NNJ carry Rossi Circuit Judge?
Ive always loved the stainless in 45/410. I have read and watched some many reviews on that gun and after reading about how its not all that accurate and how the forcing cone is way out of "spec" and how the gun loses pressure and the bullet loses velocity or speed or whatever, stuff I dont even understand...........I still really want one :-) After every review Ive read/seen the end result is always something like.............well it aint great at shootin 45 LC and it aint great at shootin 410 but it sure is a rootin tootin good time to shoot! LOL. Ive had one in my hands at Dick's and it really looked nice. The "revolver" was fished well, the wood looked great. Seemed very comfortable to hold......never shot one though. I will own one someday. Maybe when I start to reload and I can get the price of 45LC down. Good Luck and post some pics when you get it!

Scored an Original Refurbed Tula Nagant Sniper
You should totally get a black monte carlo stock, ditch that old scope and grab a laser or three from ebay, that would make it more gooder. At the very least screw a pistol grip into that wood stock and tape a flashlight to the barrel ;-) Looks sweet! Congrats!

Thank you!

Spent Saturday night with some stripper.......
Yuck! Purple water!......Well, between my home depot ge whole house filter, the softener and the filter on my fridge I'm really happy with the water. It means "nursery water" for my kids with some fluoride but its no big deal. Besides, I hear it can be too much fluoride to drink it all the time.

Spent Saturday night with some stripper.......
Well......here it is! I'm happy with the the way it came out. I don't think I changed it too much just feel like it needed a face lift. I didn't put the sling back on.....it just got in the way for me. I liked it on there but really it got annoying at the range. I guess if I had to carry it through the jungle I'd feel differently. I think my next act of blasphemy is going to be dropping the bolt in some white vinegar to bring it back to "white". (Sorry if the pic is huge again)

Spent Saturday night with some stripper.......
I didnt realize how big those pics were.......sorry about that....... There was some kind of secondary filter thing there when we moved in. Looked almost like another softener but was next to the actual softener (it's to the right) It was not in use, the valves were closed and the owner had no idea what it was. So when I upgraded my softener, I pulled it out and put caps on the ends. It had a large tank and a secondary smaller "bucket" with a hose with some kind of chemical label on it.......potassium something or other maybe? I dont remember, but it had a skull on it...........I threw it all out, lol.

Spent Saturday night with some stripper.......
OK so I had some ebony minwax stain that I thinned out with some mineral spirits. Its really dark stuff and didn't want to go too dark and lose the contrast. After one coat and letting it dry I decided one was enough. I didn't want to go too dark. This is the first coat of clear satin poly. Tomorrow I'll take some steel wool to it and add another. I was going to order the try oil.....but my ADD kicked in and I decided I didn't want to wait. Hehe What's cool about the laminate is the contrast kicks in depending on the angle you look at the stock. Also changes depending on the lighting. Hopefully should have a few more coats of poly in time to go shooting this weekend!

I was going to use a satin polyurethane........so you're saying to use the Tru-Oii instead? That will protect the finish? Anything to make the grain Pop even more would be cool. Im not much of a wood guy. I redid an old 10/22 stock a couple years ago and used the poly, came out OK. I didnt do the whole steel wool thing in between coats though. I was going to do that this time around.........unless I use the tru-oil of course. Thanks, Tom

Spent Saturday night with some stripper.......
.......and some sandpaper I know some may have an issue with this type of behavior, however................. there are many like it, but this one is mine........... All numbers match on this rifle, however it's a refurb with the BBQ paint job. Stock was in "just ok" condition, finish was peeling in areas, wasnt terrible but needed a little sprucing for my liking. I enjoy this rifle and really do not ever seeing it being sold. I came across this post and its what Im shooting for........... http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=117540.0 I wouldnt call it a Bubba job, some may disagree I guess. I started with some stripper (TeeHee) and removed the shallac as well as some grime from the past 70 years. I then sanded lightly and stayed away from any refurb markings and the serial number. I plan on lightly staining something close to his "minwax black satin finish" as I really like that look. The layers on the laminate are really cool, Im hoping the stain brings out even more character. Anyway, Ill post updates as I go if anyone is interested. Thanks for lookin, Tom

The Walking Dead
Im thinking Morgan is to obvious. They showed his face once and now everyone is expecting him somewhere...........I dont have an idea either, Im just guessing like everyone else................but why would Daryl "introduce" this person like that? Why wouldnt Morgan or whoever just follow him? .......and was that the first time we saw non-zombie guts and intestine's? In a church no less?

No consent to search sticker/tag/magnet on your safe........
This seems like a good idea on the surface and after reading some responses I dot think these are for me. While I certainly dont have anything to hide..........I dont have anything I want to advertise either. Almost seems like the open carry movement of luggage tags.
-
No consent to search sticker/tag/magnet on your safe........
Thats kinda my point though, I dont think I would ever give permission and Ill try my hardest never to give reasonable cause. But once reasonable cause has been established.........this tag or sticker isnt going to do anything, Im guessing?

No consent to search sticker/tag/magnet on your safe........
Came across something similar on FB and did a search. Found a few more on Calguns with some specific lawyer info at the bottom. I was wondering what good, if any, does this do? If I attach it to a range bag will it stop anything? Im thinking if I have an officer rummaging through my trunk on the side of the road........he's already gotten a warrant to do so. Additionally, if there's an officer in my basement (hypothetically if that's where I kept firearms.....*IF* I had firearms) ....again, there has to be a much bigger problem.......and there's already a warrant. Granted, the below image has Calguns legal info on it, however would something similar for NJ be worth anything? http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6234/6252330889_a83fee827b.jpg Thanks for reading my ramblings Tom

.22 pistol
Mosquito is OK if you have an endless supply of mini mags only.

.22 pistol
22/45 has the same grip angle and controls as a 1911 I believe. Also has a polymer frame as opposed to the all metal MKIII. Barrels come in different lengths in either variety.

.22 pistol
My best description for it is.....it puts holes where you point it. I put a Burris FF on mine and love it. There was a beautiful hunter fs in the marketplace .....pricey but beautiful

.22 pistol
The only issue was with some federal with the eagle on the box. Don't think there was enough umph to cycle. Other then that it eats anything.....golden bullets and thundercraps included.

.22 pistol
I had a Ruger SR22 (felt just like my friends walther) and sold it for an MKIII. Those small compact pistols feel like toys to me. The Mark is head and shoulders above.
