[QUOTE=mastoner20;39650566]Oh, c'mon... now I want one of those for my beer! :( Haha[/QUOTE] Battlemugs are cool, but not [URL="http://shop.battlemug.com/Battle-Mug_c3.htm"]190$[/URL] cool
Why do you think I said 'want'? I figured I'd have to pay a hefty price for one.
[QUOTE=massn7;39650064]For the Enfield owners out there - I got one today, but a few things about it are troubling me, hoping someone could answer some questions. The bolt doesn't close all the way when I cycle it. I open it, draw it back and then close it, and then the bolt kinda shifts upward a little. Sometimes it shifts enough that the bolt will shoot open all of the sudden. Speaking of which... are Enfield bolts supposed to do that? If I cycle mine and then close it (as in ready to fire), then if I just barely touch the bolt handle the thing flies open and to the rear... I mean I could tickle the thing with a feather and it just flies open. It's a No.4 Mk1 if that helps.[/QUOTE] The Enfield bolt is cock on close, which is why it shoots back if you turn up the handle when it's cocked. However it does sound like it's not locking correctly. Pictures or a video would help. But I'd also recommend taking it in and having it checked by a gunsmith.
Hopefully it's just a buildup of crud inside the bolt preventing it from fully compressing, that would be easy to fix and not all that uncommon.
There's a gun show this weekend 20 minutes from my apartment, I'm tempted to go hunting for more slav surplus ideally I'd like an SKS / another nugget if the price is right before Chairman O'Malley starts the ban-wagon at the very least I'd like to try out some of this russian surplus 7.62x54R this weekend seeing as with my wolf white box stash I'm up to ~1000 rounds
I havent got around to ordering my surplus nugget ammo yet. Where did you guys get yours?

On the nugget ammo subject, I can only find that sportsmans guide is the only place that sells 440rd tins and doesn't require that you be 21, however the 440rd tins are temporarily unavailable, but the 880rd crates arent. J&G and chestnut ridge both have 440rd tins available for ~80 bux, but they both require a signature of someone older than 21, and they never deliver around here when my parents are around. ...and cheaperthandirt wants 120 for a 440rd tin, fuck that.

[URL="http://eagleammo.com/"]Eagleammo [/URL] didn't require a signature from me either, but they're completely wiped out on their ammo stock.
Any of y'all own an Enfield no2 mk1 revolver? I'm trading for one, hopefully tomorrow or the next day.

So, how come they want a 21+ signature for rifle ammo? Do you have a neighbour or friend who might be able to take the delivery?

Friend took me to midwest so I could tell him what pistol he should get. He ended up getting this beauty [IMG]http://www.championfirearms.net/texags/guns/june2011/fnx40ss.jpg[/IMG] Along with this. [IMG]http://www.copquest.com/75-2040.jpg[/IMG] Cost about $1K total with a box of 25 holopoints and a cleaning kit. It's the .40cal version with night sights. Got the laser sighted in, can just fire from the hip and hit everything you point the laser at. Really nice, came with three magazines that hold 14 rounds each, it's ambidextrous too. Feels better (to me) than the Glock 23 or 22, and I like it way more than any XD I've fired, probably because the slide comes back further on the FNX, making it feel like it has less recoil. Just my opinion though, burned about 300 rounds in an hour, never jammed up once. Sure did get dirty though.
