If it's covered by the barrel band, just do a cold blue on it.

I'm starting to really hate on the Firearms manufacturers because it feels like they're simply [b]NOT[/b] filling orders to artificially inflate the price of their products. Fucking bastards.

Fucking bastards.[/QUOTE] Well the price inflation is on the retailers, not the manufacturers. But the shortage, especially the ammo shortage, is definitely artificial.

[QUOTE=Black Milano;40257987]How many ammo manufacturers are there?[/QUOTE] Several, to name the American ones I can think of Remington, Winchester, Federal, Barnes, Hornady, CCI. That doesn't include the European ones. In other words, enough.
To clarify, I have a barrel band with a bayonet lug, and I'm upgrading to a barrel band with NO lug, so the rub spots from the lug cowling will be exposed.

Not only it's incredibly hard to do and maintain over time, but also very illegal.
Capitalism is good all the time, every time.
Shot a gun for the first time today, went clay-pigeon shooting and used a Berretta 12 gauge O/U. Great fun, definitely something I want to get in to.
Prices are up because of a feedback loop. Guy A walks into store, sees no ammo, says "OMG there's no ammo!" and buys whatever he can. Guy B walks into store, sees no ammo, says "OMG there's no ammo!" and buys all that he can. Repeat ad naseum.

Everywhere else is all paperwork and permits before you can buy a .22
Today I found an original Vietnam dated M16 bipod that I picked up for $10 and a set of original M16A1 triangular hand guards with heat shields intact with field done camouflage paint for $20 but I didn't buy those because I was low on cash.

I got a thing. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/f4Sqy1hh.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/nWIDhIQh.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/8e1nO9Fh.jpg[/thumb] Enfield No2 Mk1* Tanker model. I'm really tempted to buy that FR8 at my LGS for 300.
Can you even buy the ammo that Enfield revolver fires? Or is there a modern cartridge equivalent or something?
It shoots .38 S&W, they still make them commercially but the only place I found it is online. FR8 page king. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/aqE7wyJ.jpg[/thumb]
Ah good to know, cause that is way to sweet to just be a paper weight!

That SKS would be cool if they didn't ruin an SKS.

They built these from the stockpile of their old mausers, and they took barrels from CETMEs and flipped the front sight upside down and used the gas tube as a bayonet mount/storage. So its a frankengun.

If the Enfield was in .38SPL I'd get it, they're only $200 here, but .38S&W is hard to find and expensive, so because I'm working on a Russian collection right now, not a British one, fuck that, I'll wait for the cheap-but-expensive-ammo Nagant.

Man, my WASR10/63 was garbad and I don't really miss it, but I miss the Romanian foregrip I had on it, it was perfect in ever imaginable way. The gun it was attached to however, was not. [img]http://i.imgur.com/9n3YQ.jpg?1[/img] RIP
