Sounds like excessive sun exposure or mild heat exhaustion. Which would be weird since it's winter over there.
Or maybe you're dehydrated.
Cold Showers and Water.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;39627425]Man, I took a nap about an hour after I got home from my range trip and now I feel awful. Ear-splitting headache and my body has that achey, sicky feeling.
It wasn't even cold out! What did I do?[/QUOTE]
Go shoot some more, that usually fixes whatever issues I have.
Believe it or not it's actually easier to get dehydrated in the winter.
Whats the best place to get a reproduction Khaki C-Tip sling for an M1 Carbine? I already have an oiler.
I remember getting dehydrated on a canoe trip, I had to drop the canoe in the process of portaging it about a kilometre to go get my water bottle from my bag at the end of the portage, which I was about 3/4 through. My scout leader then yelled at me for not having a canoe or gear with me.
Hey, do you guys have any idea how they make M1 Garand receivers? I'm talking specifics, I know that they're "forged", but I have no idea what that means. Did they pour it into a mold? Did Allied [b]dwarves[/b] pound them into shape?

they take blank billets, heat them up and mash them into shape, and then mill out what you can't really do with a forge (ie magazine well)
same way they do AR15s and such

Forging means pressing the metal using a die into the rough shape of the receiver. This has two advantages over machining from a blank billet. Firstly, it uses the material more efficiently as there is less to machine later off, and secondly it makes for a stronger receiver as it compresses the metal.
After they have the forged receiver they machine the specific details on it to the required dimensions
Pouring it into a mould is casting, casting is a really bad way to make things and is very weak. I think hi point casts their slides...
As buttsex said, AR15s are mostly forged these days, along with pretty much every quality firearm

To nugget, or not to nugget, that is the question.

To nugget or not to nugget, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the sport to suffer the bayonets and ammo of outrageous sporterization,
Or to take arms against a sea of Bubbas, and by opposing end them: to die, to sleep no more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache, and the thousand natural cuts that stocks are heir to?
How was that CZ 75? I'm looking into the CZ 75 D PCR model for a carrying once I turn 21 in May. I have next to no experience with the various handgun manufacturers, so I just want to make sure I wouldn't be making a huge mistake by buying one.
The Nugget is the essential part of the FP-Gun-Club.
you are not a member of gunpunch until you own a mosin mcnugget.

CZ 75 D PCR you say? Buy it I say, best trigger I've ever used. And put hogue grips on it, then watch as you hit everything everywhere with it cause it is fucking glorious. As a matter of fact, the full size CZ decocker is my buddies current CCW. Seriously though it is fantastic.
I'm gonna CC a hand nugget
[QUOTE=Inplabth;39627773]Probably dehydration. Did that to myself once and it's not pleasant. Get yourself a bunch of water and drink all of it, but not too quickly.[/QUOTE]
Definitely not the case, I had 2 bottles of water for the ~3 hours I was out. They were the big ones too
