Clean your room holy shit
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51917098]fucking tidy that shit, i get you couldn't get the $100 premade ones judging on your choice of guns, but at least tidy out the cabinet and buy a bottle of everclear to fix that filthy floor carpeting.[/QUOTE] Why would everclear fix my carpet? And I just tidied up the closet a month or so ago and threw out almost half the shit in there. Its so much nicer than it was. The rack helped a lot in tidying up the closet, now the guns arent just leaned up in a pile in the corner.

In inbetween trash bags right now, its a work in progress.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51917279]because to kill whatever lives in it you need some strong shit[/QUOTE] Just dump some paint thinner on it.
Welcome to the internet, where even your closet isn't safe from nit-picking. But I do like that idea. I really need to make a place to hang my rifles downstairs that I don't keep ready to go. [editline]5th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Araknid;51909905]Sorry guy but you're factually wrong. The bulldog front end of the Mk.3 SMLE is one of the meanest sexiest looks on any military bolt action rifle. [img]http://blog.cheaperthandirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1916smle3-028149_8.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I'll give you the front post is okay, and the business end of that SMLE is pretty eh. But the meat and potatoes of the good milsurp bolt actions is still the Mauser. Just look at that wood and that flawless bolt with probably the best rear posts of World War I and World War One-part-Deux. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EM3QtKf_Ec[/media]
I'm too busy doing adult things like going to work for 50 hours a week and driving for three extra hours on a paper route. So, my house is far from a perfectly clean house. Especially not my closets.
53 hours a week? Try closer to 71 hours. That's three hours per day on my second job. And no, they're not really shifts. I do the route starting at 3, go home and take a shower, work till somewhere between 5 and 7, get dinner, get home about 8 or 9ish, go to bed. Wash, rinse, repeat. On weekends you can typically add an extra hour to the route for larger papers, and by the end of them, I'm toast and generally just do chores in between naps.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51917972]working 53 hours a week every week? how the fuck is that even legal [editline]5th March 2017[/editline] if you mean shifts then you also have time off to do other adult things like clean up and i dunno not be a total slob[/QUOTE] Lol I know people pushing 60+ hours a week Two full time jobs etc.
So SMG Guns is making semi-auto, hammer-fired DPMs [vid]https://videos.full30.com/bitmotive/public/full30/v1.0/videos/forgottenweapons/7d0999227c607b44d8c2698585d14e93/854x480.mp4[/vid] :drool:
It's not awful. I work for a family business, so a lot of it's just putting my time due in. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but it's pretty common for Americans to work like that in their early twenties when they don't go to college. It gives me something to do, at least, and it gives me plenty of cash to use on the extra vacation time I acquire. And gat food after gas, that's always good, too.
I worked 60-hour 7-day work weeks one summer between 2 jobs so I could afford tuition to university. Damn near stormed out of one of them after a 68-hour week. It's not the hours that were the killer, it was the 7 day work week. Imagine having absolutely no time off from work for a whole month, not a single day where you're not at work. When school started back up my co-workers commented on how much less I was swearing compared to the summer.
So my dad and I dug out an early production Arisaka Type 99 and a BULLARD REPEATING RIFLE LARGE FRAME. SERIAL # 432/2800 this weekend. Working n restoring both - pretty good condition as well. Will upload pics later. Pretty stoked. Arisaka has the original bayonet and monopod with it aswell.

I only got payed for 4 of those 6 hours though. It kills your motivation a little bit.

I just work the usual 40 hours a week. I see nothing wrong with my mess. I keep food stuff tiny, so nothing rots or molds, its just junk everywhere. I kinda like it actually, its relaxing.

empire of dirt etc etc
Gonna drive 4 hours one way to go to an actually decent shooting range next week. Gonna make a mini road trip of it, get a motel, check out some antique shops, have a relaxing time. Mpls MN-->Fargo ND Should I get a $46 motel room, or a $76 hotel room? Gonna take the gun cases in the room, don't want to leave them in the car. Hope they don't mind me taking them in. This will also be first roadtrip, and first time having sole posession of guns overnight. Kinda nervous

But to get back on topic, I took the yankee ghettoblaster out to the shootin spot and tested out all of the springs I replaced in it. Works good. I think the action feels even better than before. Im also getting more used to the minute intricacies of kentucky windage on this thing, 3/6 of my shots hit their intended beer bottles from about 20-30 feet away.

Bismarcks range is better
[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;51919629] Bismarcks range is better[/QUOTE] well, I found a tiny public (free, unsupervised, outdoors) place in casselton what I really want is to shoot unsupervised, free, and without a bunch of rules I am a safe shooter so I don't like the RO's watching me, making me sit at a bench, taking slow shots I dream of owning land so I can rapid fire and shoot bottles and cans and such - you know, actually have fun while shooting Like, this makes me hard: [t]http://i.imgur.com/oQqiq6w.jpg[/t]
Bismarck has an RO free outdoor public range, but the one in casselton is really nice.
One of the small handful things that does tempt me to move out west is large plots of BLM land to shoot on. I have to go a decent bit out of my way to shoot past like, 200+ yards in VA.
