They do that here too, they're call gun buybacks.

They can't make the guns themselves illegal, though. The only real difference.
I broke a saftey detent spring or a buffer retaining spring on my buddies AR.

Ooooops.
That looks like the buffer stop spring, not the safety spring.

I was looking at my Exploded View and you are correct.
What did you do exactly to the lower to get this result?
[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;47240757]What did you do exactly to the lower to get this result?[/QUOTE]
Did not screw the "Receiver Extension" in all the way to hold the head of it down.
I was wondering why the buffer flew across my room with great velocity....
Also I kinda straightened the spring back together and stuck it in. She still fires normal.... I'll just order one and say I found a manufactures defect. :v:

Guys I need some help.
You know those old scope mounts from the 1800's (similar to these [url]http://www.losmandy.com/hi-rez-images/DVR125.jpg[/url] but not these because they are for telescopes), I was wondering if anyone makes a modern version of these. I have a scope that has no wind-age or elevation adjustments but I still want to use it.

After a solid minute of research I will attempt to convey my findings. The style of mount you are referring to is called an externally adjustable mount. The way they worked was by securing the fore-end of the sight to the rifle, maybe another static point towards the middle of the optic, these bits were mounted in place and not able to be adjusted. The rear bit functions more like the rings in your picture, with the screws being used to subtlety adjust for a zero but even then there are only two screws being used, one on top of the optic, the other to the side. I doubt you could find something like a set of 1903 mounts in Ausland. If you want them you will have to hunt for them, and even then you need to keep in mind they may not fit your optic.
Hope I helped if only a bit.
If anyone here has trouble flinching when they shoot, get a flintlock rifle and keep shooting it until smokeless rifles don't even make you blink.
[QUOTE=MAC21500;47238026]Good lord Trunk, that height over bore on the M17S, do you even cheekweld?
Do you plant your chin on the receiver to use the aimpoint?[/QUOTE]
The thing has no recoil so it's pretty easy to stay on target. I just got my tax return so I'm about to send it in to K&M to get it fixed.
I'm back from my mandatory vacation with some stories and acquisitions.
Me and Nuke went to a shitty gunshow in PC and walked around for about 2 hours and saw mostly fuck all. He was going to buy an awesome condition K98, but wanted to see if he could sell his Yugo Mauser first, and then some teenager and his mom came through and bought it. He missed it by like 2 minutes and some kid's mom bought it for him. Whole situation fuckin sucked.
I spotted a 1912 Austrian Steyr Mauser re-chambered to 7.62 NATO in the 60's. I fondle it and glance down the bore and see the crowning and rifling is good. Only thing it's missing is a cleaning rod. The guy was peddling it as being a Israeli Mauser but it had it was pretty clearly a Steyr and had no Israeli marks on it. I went ahead and pick it up so Nuke and I leave. We get outside and I pop the zip tie off and rack the bolt and a [B]loaded fuckin round pops out of the gun with 2 more in the magazine.[/B] So, not 5 minutes earlier I had my eye poking down the barrel of a loaded gun. Awesome. This motherfucker brought in a loaded rifle to a gunshow. He wasn't a viewer or anything, he was an actual vender with a table. If you're ever in the Florida Panhandle, he's the asshole who sells the snake-oil gun lube that will magically waterproof anything. He's always got a fish tank filled with water with a light bulb and drill running inside of it.
Right after I pop the bolt back some redneck in his [URL="http://waverunnersfastpitch.net/jacked-up-redneck-trucks-317.jpg"]cousinfucker [/URL] barrels through a puddle and splashes me and Nuke with some lovely Florida bog water. At this point we were just so pissed off we went home. I called the Sheriffs department later and reported the ass hole but I doubt anything will happen to him.
So I get home and start taking apart the rifle and then I get to the dipshits ammo. They must have been his personal reloads because they were beyond fucked. There were 3 rounds in the gun, 1 wasn't crimped at all and the bullet fell right out, it was also overloaded as fucked, and the other 2 had cracked necks.
[URL="http://i.imgur.com/R29eTDk.jpg"]Photo of the ammo and my filthy desk. [/URL]
Heres a photo of the actual Mauser. I'm going to order a Brass Stacker scout mount for it and make it a nice pseudo-DMR.

One of the main rules of handling a gun, you ALWAYS check to make sure it's unloaded.
The action should never be closed on any gun at a gun show, let alone zip tied shut. If I couldn't open the action or get the guy to let me verify it's unloaded I wouldn't pick it up and just walk away.

They do it a lot to prevent people from stealing the bolts or putting live ammo in them. It's pretty dumb especially when they make you zip tie your gun at the front door but don't check you for loaded mags or ammo.
Should just let everyone carry; they run a higher risk of someone having an ND from unloading the gun to ziptie it at a check station than anything.

Thing is, when you bring a gun into a gunshow, regardless if you're a vender or viewer, a sheriff verifies the weapon is unloaded and theres no mag in the gun, and then he zip ties it. Most semiautomatics have their actions locked all the way back, but bolt guns get their actions locked shut. So by that guy getting a loaded gun in with the sheriff failing to verify it is gross negligence. The fact the fudd who sold it to me never unloaded it in the first place is fucking awful, but nobody verifying the gun is bullshit.
When you see a gun inside a gunshow, it's unloaded. Thats the rule, not the exception. I shouldn't have to cut a zip tie off to double check a god damn [B]Sheriffs[/B] negligence. I'm never going to a gunshow in this county again.

Speaking of which, one of my marines accidentally shot himself in the thigh and shattered his femur when he was cleaning his firearm. Don't know why he didn't unload the chamber first but whatever. He'll live.

Wait, you [b]don't[/b] do a functions check with a loaded weapon before cleaning? :V
Lucky it didn't hit his artery...
How did he even have ammunition at that point? Field environment?

Oh no. He did this in his own home. It was his personal firearm. There's an investigation pending.
Has anyone ordered from glockstore before? I bought a tungsten rod from them along with an extended slide release and slide cover plate. I called them and they said they assemble the rods in house, anybody have some proof of that?
How are so many people shooting themselves? Goddamn, learn some basic safety. The first thing I do when I take it out of the safe and last thing I do putting it back is check to make sure the gun's not loaded.

I ordered grip panels from them a couple weeks after Sandy Hook. Took a while to order them, because the website was on the verge of going down constantly. Took a few weeks for the order to ship.
Wall of text incoming:
But speaking of Mauser, I have a Kar 98 variant, but I have no idea what variant it is. If there are any Kar experts here, maybe they could help, I'd like to know for sure before I shoot it (though it needs maintenance first too). Unfortunately I don't have pictures because I do not own a camera, pictures would make things a lot simpler... I was told it was a German rifle, but it came with some boxes of 7mm Mauser from the seller, which I recently realised is not from 7.92x57mm (which is instead called 8mm Mauser). There were 7mm variant(s), but they were rare and not used by Germany. Whether that's a clue or the old user just had the wrong ammunition, I'm not sure.
It only gets more confusing knowing that my rifle was crudely sporterised at an unknown time, making it difficult to try and match the features with different K98's out there. The first thing you'd look for is markings, but most of them were either removed or never there in the first place (unlikely). There are no 'indents' in the sides in the wood, not by the trigger or by the rear sight, as I've seen on most Kar 98 pictures. The butt end of the stock is covered by a thin metal plate on the back, rather than the thicker metal butts I commonly see pictured. The cleaning rod is missing and the part of the stock where you'd put it was filled in. The stock overall is pretty featureless save for the circular 'indents' near the middle on both sides which is normal. What's abnormal as far as other images are concerned on the left side is a vertical piece of exposed metal with tool marks on it near the butt. The bolt doesn't look exactly like any pictures I've seen, although it's very similar.
As for makings, there's a small crescent shaped notch on the top of the base of the bolt 'handle', probably a marking that was filed off, and no visible markings on the safety. On the receiver "M 8 8 1 0" appears twice on the right side, once behind the rear sight and again next to the magazine / bolt. Behind the rear sight on the center-right of the top is a partial R, and below that another crescent with some notches near the middle and top, hard to tell if it was a symbol, a G or 6, or just an curved letter or number (C, O, Q, or 0) with some inconvenient dents on it. The rear sight has 4, 6, 8, etc up to 20 on the left side, 3 - 19 on the right, and both on the top. The "M 8 8 1 0" is the only complete marking and possible clue, mainly because none of the pictures I looked at had an a letter, only numbers, so the letter might be a giveaway?

You don't have a phone with a camera? I really can't help at all with out pictures, I've owned 2 K98s and currently have a 43 dou K98.
Nah, I don't have a phone, I'm hoping to get one but I don't know when or if it'll have a camera (they all have cameras now don't they?).
[editline]2nd March 2015[/editline]
Even if it did, I don't know if it'd be high-quality enough to even capture the tiny markings.
You'd have to get the oldest, shittiest brick on the market for it not to have a camera. My first cell that I got in 8th grade had a camera (man, the old RAZR was the shit back in the day).
i dont know if i want a 4th gen glock 19 or just get a gen 3 with grip reduction
does the switchout straps on the 4th gen make a difference? im asking because whoever designed the grip of the glock obviously had retard gorilla hands

It sounds like a Turkish Mauser. I think what you're looking at is Arabic script and the crescent.

The grip of the frame on the Gen 4 is a little narrower from front to back. My hands are medium to large so the regular grip is fine. Also it has a good mag release and great texturing on the grip so no more grip tape needed.
