Glad I didn't bring up penetrating oil......... oops.

Plastic looks like this. The oil is dried up and almost looks crystallized.

@1563621 btw, there was a lube tube in the buttstock.. Like a double ended tube, I guess one side for oil and the other grease.

When you are ready, hit me up. I know a guy.

It's a DCM originally sold in 86 that came through Red River Army Depot..

Of all the firearms I own, this is the one I've wanted for the longest time. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

Bought this beauty off 1563621 today. Apparently all original except the op rod is a National Match. Gauges 1 and 1 with a bright shiny bore. We have a date this Sunday at Range-14.

So many helpful people.

@Smokin .50 They're talking about you Rosey.

Whatever the reason the guns and accessories were seized, the gear, most of it anyway, is being returned. The OP clearly stated that. So, whatever the event was that precipitated the seizure, it's a moot point. You're just being nosy. This person didn't come here to give us all their life story, they just want some specific information regarding the impending mag ban and why a seizure turned into a confiscation. sheesh. One thing has nothing to do with the other. But, I do admit, I am also curious. We are ALL curious, but it's not cool to just outright pry.

Magazines are not firearms. You can mail or ship them anywhere.

That's under 5 cents per round. Midway USA https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1002042021/cci-mini-mag-high-velocity-ammunition-22-long-rifle-troy-landry-special-edition-36-grain-plated-lead-hollow-point

remote access is to video server so the user can access camera feeds real time. The video server can probably send sms alerts via the internet to a smartphone if an event is triggered.

I used to do this stuff for a living, it's not terribly complicated once you know the terminology and the basics of how things work, but there is no room for mistakes. One wrong setting on the router, or sometimes a client, can hobble an entire network.

Routers don't distribute static IPs. They can be configured to reserve an IP based on the mac address or hostname of a client. When the client comes on line and requests an IP address (as per DHCP), the server will acknowledge the MAC address and assign the reserved IP address only to that client. A static IP ca be set up in the client machine. It does not make DHCP requests.

The YT video is using a Motorola router as an example. Your actual router is probably not the same brand or model. Even if it is, variations in firmware can make configuration screens look very different. It does not matter what brand router you have though, setting up a configuration is basically the same, it's just the "screens" that are different (because they look different). Hostname vs IP address. You cant know the IP of the video server unless it is set as "static" in the network config of the video server, meaning the IP address never changes. What never changes is the hostname. You need to find the hostname of the video server.

My favorite budget "premium" brand is PPU. Their match ammo is pretty close to Hornady's quality.

And then.... This does not compute.

[heavy sigh] Yanno, I was reading the intro and comments and thought you seemed like an okay dude and we were going to get along...... And then I read this.

If you have never done it, you may feel more comfortable having a LGS set it up for you. But, there's no real mystery to mounting a scope. You have to learn eventually. Try doing it yourself, being careful not to bugger up screw heads or strip threads. If you can't get it right, then bring it to a smith.

Nobody more deserving.

Where do the lasers and lights (both white and IR) and laser range finder and bayonet go?

Midlength is supposedly softer, but, big whoop, it's an AR-15. I can't really tell much difference between my midlength and carbine rifles. What I do notice is the lack of realestate on a carbine length hand guard. Midlength gives you more options for mounting stuff.
